owned by A. D. Gregory and oc-
cupied by Henry Corum, the
blacksmith shop owned by a
Mr.. Duncan and a vacant build
ing in which Mr.. Duncan had
sleeping apartments, were des-
troyed by fire at an early hour

of value was saved from thu
hotel.
The Gregory building wa!
valued at about $4,000 and wa.
insured for $4,000. Mr.. Corun

BOND ELECTION CARRIED.

The Ferdinand highway dist
rict last Friday voted bonds in
the amount of $4,000 with a
vote of Is for the bonds and IL
against bonds. The money will
be used in the construction of
the north and south state high
way through the Ferdinand dis
'rint,
The survey for this link has
been completed and shows a
little over six miles of the high,
way will be constructed in this
district. This will provide for
the construction work from the
boundaries of the Cottonwood
highway district to the Levi
county line in Lawyers canyon.
The district voted bonds in
the amount of $25, 600 at a prev
ious election and none of this
money has been expended. The
election today will provide a
total sum of $4,000 which alone
is sufficient to meet the entire
expense of the state highway
construction through the dist.
rict. When the states par
ton is provided for this i'm
provement, the district will have
at least $4,000 for lateral high
ways.
The successful election in the

tically completes the financing

DEATH OF PIONEER.

John JorgenSon, who until a
few years ago was a resident and
old pioneer, died at the St.
Joseph Hospital at Lewiston last
Friday October II, at the age of
81 years, after a lingering illness
of several years.
In early youth he united with
the Swedish Luthern church.
He came here about "a years
ago, and took up a homestead on
this prairie when the country
was first opened up for settle
ment, and as a farmer and citi-,
zen he has lived among us until
a few years ago, leaving only
when his health would no longer
permit his industriousness as a
farmer.
Of the immediate family, only
two brothers survive him, Aug
ustus, of Canada, and Andrew of
San Jose, CAL, who were here to
attend the funeral.
Life is a narrow vale between
two eternities. We strive in
vain to look beyond the heights.
We cry aloud and the only an
swer is the echo of our wailing
cry. From the voiceless lips of
the mreplying dead there comes
no word. But in the night of
death, hope sees a star and list
ening love can hear the rustling
of a wing.
Funeral services were held
here Wednesday afternoon and
was attended by a large number
of his friends. The services were
conducted by the Rev. Marion
Sligar. A. H. Nau had charge
of the funeral arrangements.

time getting into his Sunday
best and the hospitality and
hearty welcome extended will
not be forgotten soon by those
present.

were set to accommodate the
players. Barney Luchtefeld of
Keuterville won 1st prize, Kath-
ryn Luchtefeld End. and Henry
Agnew won the BOBBY prize
which he said he priced more
highly than he would have the
first as this came to him with
out solicitation. A dainty lunch

turns of the day.

SCHOOL NOTES.
(By VIM. A. LuStie.)

\Dy w III. "A. LuSIlSsJ
The Public School has made
an application for enrolment
as school auxiliary of the
American Red Cross.
The Junior Red Cross is the
school branch of the American
Red Cross and ten million Am
erican school boys and school
girls belong to it.
AS its place program, the
Junior Red Cross is planning to
do two important things:
1. It is planning to help some
of the suffering children in for
eign lands. In countries where
the fighting took place, there
are thousands of children who
have lost their parents, their
homes, and their clothes, and
who have no one to take care of
them.
2. The Junior Red Cross is
planning, through the Home
Service Section of the American
Red Cross, to help some of the
suffering children in our own
country.
The Junior Red Cross is CIV
ing $500,00O to begin its work
among children in Europe, and
has promised to raise $500,000 a
year to keep it up. This money
comes from Junior Red Cross
membership fees. The re-
mainder of the membership
money may be spent in helping
suffering children who live near
by.
Each school gives the Red
Cross, every year, one-fourth as
many dollars as there are pupils
in the school. The children are
not asked to bring this money
from home. 1t is to be raised
by the combined efforts of all
the pupils of the school, work
ing together under the direction
of their teacher.
The Cottonwood High School
Athletic Association have elect
ed the following officers:
Euclid Rice, president.
Arthur Peterson, vice-presi-
dent.
Harry Hanley, treasurer.
A spelling match was held in
English I last Friday. Albert
Hale carried away the spelling
honors of the class.
Last week a total of $5.40 was
taken in for hot lunches.
Our system of revenue fol
school is out of date and can pro-
duce neither sufficient money
for teachers salaries, nor suf-
ficient income for public schools
and other necessar y municipal.
expenses.
1t is a moderate estimate tc
conclude that 65 per cent OF
more of the whole support of oul
schools originated in property
taxation, and that of the remain
der all but 3 or 4 percent comes
from taxes or some kind laid up
on business or ultimately upor
property.
Our whole system of property
taxation harks back to a time
when property was almost tn,
only expression of tax-payini
ability. 1t is no doubt true tina
wealth is still expressed in term
of property of some sort, bu
taX-paying ability is not. Will
, the evolution of industria
society, income has come to b
, the best single expression of tax
paying ability.
