CITY HAS HAD HEALTHY
GROWTH DURING 1919

City Marshall Clark Stanton ha.
recently made survey of the city
relative TO the number of new houses
which have been built during the
year 1919. and climates that there
have been forty-siX new houses Of
four rooms and over built within the
year. and ten two room houses. be-
sides numerous additions that have
been built to other houses Mr. Stan
ton also counts six new brick bust
ness houses. twelve miles OF side
walks. eleven blocks OF paving. He
thinks the population has inclSased
about 500 during the year. and that
the city now has over 1000 inhabi-
tants.
These are all conservative est
mates. and all OF them except the
estimate of the population are based
upon actual observation and are net
guessed at. As to the census. we -
not have to wait very long to Sc
what kind OF bunch the enumerat
ors hand us.

SCHOOLS FACE NEW YEAR
WITH SPIRIT OF ENTHUSIASM

The New Year opens with promise
for the schools of Jerome county.
Districts from three counties have
been united into a single educational
system, with successful results
There are 1885 boys and 995 girls
on the census list of this county, with
forty-eight members in the teaching
force
Health Crusade work ard the
teaching of Thrift have been added
TO the course OF study this year.
These subjects are being handled by
the regular teachers. except in Je-
rome, where the city nurse has
kcharge OF the Health Crusade.
Two of our schools have been un-
fortunate in having an outbreak OF
contagious disease. but have been
able to stamp it out Immediately by
enforcing strict quarantine.
Many schools show a large increase
over last year Jerome has three
overflow and one basement school
rooms. with another member added
to the high school faculty Hazelton.
Eden Russell Lane and Appleton
have each had to engage an extra
teacher. and the Hazelton high school
has a largely increased number oi
pupils.
District % has two new schoo'
houses. with new equipment. and
school will open there on January
5th.
Greenwood school was first TO re
port generous donation from the
pupils to the Roosevelt Memoirs
fund. while Dixon. Russell Ian
and Falls City closely followed.
Russell Lane has recently installed
system of electric lights in its fin
school building. Falls City has erect
ed flag stan on the school ground
and the Stars and Stripes are no'
flying above its public school.
with the spirit of enthusiastic &C
operation steadily growing. and tn.
hope and belief that 1920 will ushe
in a finer season OF accom0lishmen
than any that has already bee
achieved. the schools of jerom
county wish everybody Happy NeN
Year.

WANT A FIFTY-FIFTY BREAK

The Mountain States Telephone a
Telegraph company has instituted
proceedings in the United states court
to place public utilities I'm this state
on tho same valuation level as other
classes OF property
1t Is common knowledge that mo"
property is taxed only about forty
per cent or less OF its actual value
The public utilities power compan'
les. telehone companies. etc are
taxed on their full. or 100 per cent
valuation,
Whether the utilities will he low
cred to the basis OF other property
or whether other property Will nave
TO come up to the constitutions rear
valuation. or whether any change
Will be made. remains to be seen.
In either event. It would make
small difference In absolute tax re-

THE CHANGE OF COMMANDERS
(By f. Richard shippD }

The Commanding Ofic r. old and
wrinkled and gray worn and weary
from his year-long camp"i ign. CON
demned to die at midnight, sits silent
and alone in his quarters waiting the
coming of the firing squad
His fast dimming eyes behold the
sexton tolling at the grave that Will
soon be his.
His dull ears hear the faint roll Of
muffled drums.
He dreams OF the past
Dreams of the day when he raised
his standard and took command OF
the world.
He was welcomed by ringing bells
blowing whistles. playing bands, the
joyful shouts OF the people.
Then all was JOY and happiness.
Flags flying. banners waving. he
marched into his quarters with his
staff of three hundred and sixty-five
picked men.
They are gone.
One by one the wars have claimed
them.
He is left friendless-the fast dy-
ing solitary survivor of that brave
band
The guards come to take him tC
the place of his burial.
AS they lead him away he hear
ringing bells. blowing whistles, play
ing bands. and the joyful shouts c
the people.
With the last look of his fast giaz
ing eyes he sees the new Command
ing Officer, flags flying. banners wav
ing. surrounded by his STAFF. TAX
possession of the quarters he ha
just left
The guards wrap his shell-toiJ
and tattered STANDARD about hi
wasted form.
He is lowered into his last restin
place and the watchers catch
glimpse OF the faded insignia-l91s
The frozen earth swallows him u
as the new Commanding Officer run
his standard to the top of the flae
staff
II floats out to the breeze aboy
the shouting multitude and its gol
embroidered insignia-l920-burst
upon their view.
