APT nded hereto is comparative
state. .ent of assessments in 1914 and
1e,S, showing the result of the work
of equalization by the tax commission.
This shows a net increase in 1918
over 1914 OF 7O,911.15300 The equali-
zation and reassessment of farm lands
shows an increase of $47,0S7, 1880 in
1918 over the assessed value in 1914.
l append statement showing the as
sessments for these years.
AS result of the reassessment of
farm lands in 1918, and equalization in
assessments of other classes of prop
erty, giving a large increase in the
taxable property of the State. the
comptroller general has been able to
reduce the State levy from 9 IL mills
to s Ia mills and it is shown further
that even with the reduction in the
State levy to S1-4 mills a larger
amount of money has been raised
than would have been raised with the
9 1-2 mills without the equalization. In
other words. a 9 1-2 mill levy on $32.-
100000, the taxable property for 1917.
would raise s3,04o,Oo0.OO. Eight and
one-fourth mills, the reduced levy on
S376,175,581.00 will raise 3,103, 1920.
! 1t viii be seen therefore that the
tax commission has made substantial
progress in the equalization of assess
ments, and at the same time has placed
on the tax books much property which
formerly escaped taxation altogether.
Further means are needed to require
the local authorities to perform their
duties under the statutes. This work
is never ending. 1t requires constant
scrutiny and vigilance in order to
maintain equalization of assessments.
and to see that no property is lost
sight, of, and does not escape taxation.

Many Soldiers Hsse Dis
charges Recorded to Get
Boaas- -Recordiag Free

Many Marshall county soldiers are
having their discharges recorded In
the office OF Miss Nora Wilkey. coun-
ty recorder, In order that they can
then safely file the original discharge
with the government to receive the
| bonus of $50. There is no charge for
recording. For this soldiers of the
county can thank Miss Wilkey for
taking the initiative and the super
visors for giving her their support.
In many counties of\the state the
legal charge OF so cents for recording
the discharges has been made and In
some OF these counties movements are
already on foot to have this charge
refunded or paid by others than the
soldiers. In Jasper county, : for in
stance. instead Of refunding the
charge the council Of defense Is pay
ing 1t,
A state law passed a few weeks ago
provides for thefree recording OF the
discharges of soldiers and sailors.
This law does not become effective
until July /. Miss w!lkey believed
that the discharged men should not
have to pay to have their discharges
recorded. but there was the law pro-
viding that charge OF so cents should
be made. She thought the work should
be done free and proposed so to do 1t
when 1t became evident that practi-
cally all the returning soldiers would
want their discharges recorded Be-
fore accepting the documents free,
however, she took the question UP
with the board Of supervisors. Mem
bers Of the. board agreed with her that
there should be no charge and told
her to go ahead and record for moth
ing. II any question was raised as to
why charges had not been made the
board promised to assume the re-
sponsIbility for not collecting a fee.
SO It came about that Marshall coun-
tvs soldiers discharges are being re-
corded without charge to any one.
Already $50 or more discharges have
been recorded. Recently the recorders
office has been supplied with a book
containing the blank form OF the dis
charge and thus the work has been
greatly lessened. The soldiers are
sending their discharges to the zone
finance office, Lemon building. Wash

AMUSEM EN1S,
At the Strand,

The screen adaptation ct Owen JOHN

star cast headed by Arita Stewart,
The story holds a gripping but un-
happy plot. AS 10 location. scenery and
photography it is all very high class.
Like the story it propounds the ques-
ton, Can wives remain virtuous and
permit a pack Of societies gentlemen
loafers to amuse them in make believe
love? In addition to Miss Stewart
the cast includes Conway Tearle, VIII
liam Boyd. Mrs DeWolA Hopper an1
Edwin Arden. It is well worth see

Summarized the story IL: Conway
Tearle and his wife get taste of So
ciety and Tearle goes west to make q.
fortune so his wife may be society
leader and be admired by men. He
goes and Anita Stewart, his wife, while
being amused, becomes fascinated by
g society loafer, William Boyd. When
Tearle hears Of this trespassing on his
wifes attentions he arrives home af-
ter years absence, and sees what
a mistake he has made in leaving his
wife to the pleasures of society. After
many stormy scenes Tearle finally
wins back his wife. A counterpart
between Edwin Arden and Mrs. De-
Wolf Hopper shows the heartlessness

There is a distinct frigidity to the
atmosphere in the home of Isaac Wilt,
retired farmer, in Valparaiso, when
ever the subject of groceries and de-
livery boys is mentioned in the hear

There's reason: Mrs. Wilt tele-

the customary delay in delivery and

HAS MANY VALUES
Yucca One of the Most Priced of
Earth'S Productions.
Important Article of Diet Among
South American indians Should
Find Ready Apprecia-
tion Here.

If the war had lasted much longer
no doubt we would have been using
real Indian -four by now-flour made
from the yucca, or manioc or cassava
plant-a tropical shrub which grows
to height Of six feet. Herbert J.
Spinden of the staff of the American
Museum of Natural History, who has
spent much time in Central and South
America, recently described the yuca
and its value as a food.
Manioc flour, he said, is made from
the root of the maniOc. 1t is probably
the principal food of the Indians of
the wet lowlands of South America,
and is also much used in the West In
dies. Two species of manioc are
known, of which one contains hydro
cyanic acid, a poisonous juice which
has to be extracted by special proc
ess, while the other is non-poisonous.
This latter variety is, however, gen.
orally considered to furnish an infe-
riOr meal, and Is used chiefly as a
fresh vegetable
In making maniOc flour, the very
Juicy roots of the plant, which some
what resemble sweet potatoes In
shape, are grated according to Italian
fashion on q board set with rock crys-
tails. The grated meal must then be
subjected to high pressure In order to
drive off the poisonous juice. The
Indians accomplish this by stuffing the
Y1pol nh n hoc hO Oh, &c fhnFp
stretched out so that its volume is de-
creased. Really tremendous pressure
is exerted by this simple machine.
The poisonous fluid is drained through
the basket-work into pottery vessels.
The meal is then taken out Of the
tube and used chiefly for making thin
waters, often of large size, which are
slightly Drowned on either side by bak-
ing on griddles. These cakes will
last for a long time and are consid-
cred excellent food.
But it is the general utility of this
plant that would truly delight Mr..
HoOver's heart. For besides the flour,
the plant yields an excellent starch, a
condiment, and tapiOca-the last
named being the principal article of
commerce derived from the yucca.
The starch is contained in the poi
sonOus Juice which is extracted from
the meal. The starch is allowed to
settle in the fluid, which is then poured
off. In certain places, the manioc
meal is not subjected to pressure, but
Is thoroughly stirred in water in or
der to extract the largest possible
amount of starch. Manioc starch,
which commands a higher price in the
tropics than corn starch, is generally
regarded as of the highest quality.
After the extraction of the starch, the
juice Of the yucca is subjected to heat
sufficient to destroy the poison in it.
1t is then used as a condiment (cassa-
reep). This extract, which has a
sharp, peppery quality, has consider
able commercial value, and serves as
base for certain table sauces and
for the soup known as Philadelphia
pepper pot. Tapioca is obtained by
heating the starch while it is moist.

that it startled me and l turned and
looked toward the open door.
Kate rose and came to my side and
leaned toward my ear whispering:
ut is my father. He is always think
ing Of when 1 was a girl. He wants

She babe me good night and left
the room. Doubtless it was the out
ragged, departed spirit of that golden
time which was haunting the old
squire. A Bible lay on the table near
me and I sat reading it for an hour or
SO. A tall clock in a corner solemnly
tolled the hour of nine. In came the
tall woman and asked me in the
brogue of the Irish:
would you like to go to bed?"
"Yes, / am tired"
She took a candle and led me up a
broad oaken stairway and into room
Of the most generous proportions. A
big four-post bedstead, draped in
white, stood against a wall. The bed,
sheeted in old linen, had quilted COW
ers. The room was noticeably clean !;
its furniture of old mahogany and its
carpet comparatively unworn.
When undressed l dreaded to put
cut the candle. For the first time in
years had kind of child-fear of the
night. But I went to bed at last and
slept rather fitfully, waking often when
the cries of the old squire came flood
ing through the walls. How l longed

NOW WE MAY KNOW BOSWELL
Description of Biographer, Written by
Himself, Reveals Him as
Very Human.

How pleasant 1t is to know that
Boswell, who we have always thought
was merely kind of animated note
book, was a droll vain, bibulous,
warm-hearted creature, a good deal of
a Pepys, in fact, says Golfers Weekly.
A. Edward NewtOn's entertaining
Amenities of Book Collecting" vol
ume of essays which shows that a
business man can write better litera-
ture than q hundred professors mulled
into one, makes Boswell very human
How jolly to hear that Boswell wrote
press notices about himself! Here is
one of his own blurbs, which we
quote from Mr.. Newton's book:
Boswell, the author, is a most ex-
cellent man; he is of an ancient FAM
lily in the west of Scotland, upon which
he values himself not little. At his
nativity there appeared omens Of his
future greatness. His parts are bright,
and his education has been good. He
has travelled in post chaises miles
without number. He is fond of seeing
much of the world. He eats of every
good dish, especially apple pie. He
drinks old hook. He has a very fine
temper He is somewhat OF a humor-
ist and a little tlnctured with pride.
He has a good, manly countenance.
ma he owns himself to be amorous. He
has infinite vivacity, yet is observed at
times to have a melancholy cast. He
is rather fat than lean, rather short
than tall. rather young than old. His
shoes are neatly made, and he never
wears spectacles."
This brings the excellent Boswell
very very close to US indeed; he might
almost be a member of the Authors
league. Especially apple pie, bless his
heart.

Opium.

Opium is the dried juice of the white
poppy, a flower that grows in many
parts of Asia. A few days after the
flowers have fallen off the plants men
go through the fields in the afternoon
and make little cuts in the poppy head.
Out of these cuts a milky juice oozes,
which dries into brown, sticky paste.
Every morning the men go through the
fields again and scrape off this paste,
which they put into jars. Later on
It is made into half-pound balls and
then packed for shipment.
