land rolls of Monroe county for
the wears 1918 1915 1917 and

land rolls of Monroe county for
the years 1915, 1916, 1917 and
1918 prove the truth of our con-
tention that if the Board of SUI
peryisors had equalized assess
ment valuations of individual
property owners eQuitably in this
county for the years 1917 and
1918, as it was their duty to do,
there would have been little COM
plant among the tax payers.
These land rolls show that 81
acres IN Sec. 2I-l3lS was as
sessed for $50 in 19l5-1916, for
$342 in 1917, and for $3.50 in 1918.
No improvement of this proper
ty was made during the time the
assessments mounted to seven
times the assessed value in 1915.
Another tract of 90 acres in Sec.
22-l3-1S was assessed for $120 in
1915-19l6. for $46S in 1917 and
500 in 1918. A COMPANION
tract of 90 acres of equal value
in the same section was also as
sessed for $l20 in 1915-19l6,
raised to SOLO in 1917 and low
cred to $500 in 1918.
Comparison of the fluctuating
valuations placed upon these two
tracts during the years 1917 and
1918 will indicate to the thinking
tax payer the methods that have
been pursued to equalize assess
ment values among the Indlvid-
al tax payers of this county.
Also, two tracts of 120 acres
each IN Sec. 27-13-1S, having
equal improvements and of equal
values, were assessed, one for
$240, the other for $3.50 in 1915
1916. One of these tracts was
raised to $3.50, the other TO $3.50
in 1917. The tract raised TO $3.50
in 1917 was kept at $3.50 in 1918,
while the one raised to $50 in
1917 was further raised TO 1890 in
1918. There was no improve
ment on either tract during the
two years.
We could cite numerous SINH
lar instances that would show
that property values have not
been equitably equalized among
individual tax payers in this
county. However, the tax pay
ers themselves know this any
how; and, if the Board has not
equalized assessments equitably
among them, we think they
know where the BLAME PROP.
ERLY BELONGS.
To conclude this lengthy arti.
Gle: We did say in the issue OF
our paper dated June 20, 1919
that There can be no doubt the
Tax Commission is doing a great
and valuable work in the State.
1t has forced the tax-dodgine
counties to pay their proportion
of taxes to the State" We made
those statements because they
were warranted and justified by
facts supported by testimony
which we had adduced. We
therefore resent the aspersior
which Mr.. loves article puts
upon our meaning by insinuat
ing an unwarranted question and
pursuing it with an unjust con
clusiOn, impugning our conf
dence in the good people of oul

Beauties Of the Deep Sea.

phorescent. Some even bear In their
heads searchlights like those of a mo-
tor car, which they can cause to shine
at will. Others, lucky enough to pos
sess q living bait attached to a long
thread, light their lanterns and thus

perfect representatives Of this singu-
lar sort of fauna. Within their eyes,
which are voluntarily extensible, like
marine glasses, are set true lenses
whose convexity varies according to
the focus, while diverse colors SHIN
mer in the sheaves Of luminous rays
which they project to a distance. The
whole world Of deep-sea life is illum-
mated by a fairy-light which 1t itself
produces in default of solar rays. Very
often, too, the inhabitants Of those
abysmal deeps glow with the most
brilliant colors. There are fishes clad
in azure velvet, c~rustaceans with
~cuirasses of opal or emerald, sea-ur-
chins tinted with rudy gold, of trans
parent vermilion. sponges rejecting
the hues Of the sapphire.

Want to Rent Old castIe2

If anybody wants to buy a ruined
castle, described as "of great histor-
ical and romantic history" now is their
chance, according to advertisements in
serted in the British papers.
1t is not exactly modern, dating, as
It does, from 1866, and the advertiser
states that considerable outlay will
be required to reconstruct it." The
purchaser is assured, however, that it
reconstructed, "a unique and charming
home would result"
Nothing is said about ghosts, but II
stands to reason that a castle of this
age must have a large and lively flock
Of such insects. So here's a chance for
some of Americas millionaires to ac-
quire at small cost a castle-and all
that goes with it.
An added inducement is that there is
good trout fishing lear by, so that
when tired of gazing at his unique and
charming home the purchaser can rest
his mind by going fishing.

Just what will happen next to sports
clothes is a fascinating subject for
speculation. The new weaves in silk
have intrigued them into beautiful ex-
travagances, and other unusual fabrics
have lent them originality. All sorts
Of materials, from leather to cricket
flannel, with a company Of sturdy
woolens forming their main depend
ence, invite designers to become indie
pendent. Cleverness is at a premium,
nothing is considered cratic and there
are sports clothes and sports clothes !;
some of them for actual sports wear
and some Of them merely versions Of
sport styles.
For actual sports wear, coats and
skirts of wool, or heavy cotton, are
plain and cut on boyish lines. Skirts
wide enough and patch pockets big
enough are their sensible outstanding
features. The sweater and sweater

appear, entitled to more service
stripes than any other garment. One
