A Cove county farmer is said to
have taken a course in animal hus-
bandry. He graduated and immedi-
ately began to specialize in White
Mule.
At least that is the story we get
from Ben Ely, of Kinsley, Kansas,
Federal Prohibition Inspector for the
Third Kansas District. That is not
the way Mr.. Ely put it but he said
he found a fellow who was running
a still and selling white whiskey. The
gentleman in question is named w.
". CsBilI'') Dugan and lives down in
the breaks of the Smoky Hill river,
somewhere in southwest Cove county.
In company with the sheriff OF Cove
county a raid was made on Dugan's
place and we understand some incrimi-
mating evidence found. The STUFF
was called whiskey but is said to
more nearly resemble double essence
of dynamite it only takes a good
strong smell of the bottle to blow one
up.
Dugan was taken to Cove City,
where he pleaded guilty and is await
ing the coming of Judge Purcell to
receive his remuneration for illicit
trafdcing in booze.

REAL CHRISTMAS PRESENT

J The holiday season with it's i joys and it's problems is upon
 us. What shall we do to add
 to the happiness of the occas
 ion? Each one of us would like
 not only to wish our friends a
 Merry Christmas and a happy i New Year, but to give the
 one. We cannot do this by the
 means of ill-considered pres ents. Thoughtless gifts cause the January ash can to bulge
 with debris. Only when our
 gifts have lasting meaning do they carry the true message of goodwill which is the spirit ct real giving.
 We can give happiness and contentment and safety for the future as we'll as pleasure for the moment. Such gifts are within reach of all. They are to be found in the Savings Se- cureties of the United States Government. From the 25 cent Thrift Stamp to the $1O0 Treas ury Savings Certificate. they will carry with them not onIv the greetings of the season but happiness for years to come. In presenting the child with a card with one thrift stamp affixed you bestow not only present but habit that will prow as the days pass. for he will wish to fill the card. That little oft will have grown wonderfully before another Christmas ar rives. and the recipient will be on the way to a life of inde- 1 pendence.
 In recommending these last l ing gifts the Savings Division of . the Treasury does not suooest | that a single American curtail his Christmas giving. It sug- gests only that he broaden it to include this present which will bring future well-being to those he loves. Thrift Stamps, Savings Stamns and Trea sury Savings Certifi- cates will be on sale through put the year 1921.

COW-PUNCHER MAKES
 FIGHT FOR LIFE

A tale of pluck and deter
 imitation in a fight for life is
 revealed at the bedside of Bill
 Simon, lying in the Mercy hos
 pital recovering slowly from an operation for appendicitis. Out on the desert alone, tend
 ing a winter herd of cattle in
 the Weaver district for Ed Genung, Bill Simon felt the ap-
 proach of a serious attack of appendicitis. With the entire responsibility for the herd on his hands and no one to call on for assistance, Bill stayed on the job riding around the herd until he knew that his condition released him from that respon- sibiIitv.
 Several miles from his camp, he had to make the trip on horseback, suffering every step the horse took. and then after a sleepless night of torture he climbed on his horse at day break and started on the long Journey across the desert to Congress Junction. Dizzy and weak from pain, unable to see his horses head, he chung to the saddle until he could no longer hold his seat he would lie on the ground and rest while Paleface. his pal-horse. onest- ioningly nosed his body. Then uD into the saddle he would climb again and ride until the pain became unbearable.
 Thus he made his way to l Congress Junction where he was given what assistance could be found. He remained 1 there the second night and then was brought into Prescott and immediately taken to the Mercy and operated on.
 He now lies weak and weary with blistered lips and aching side. but he is the same plucky, smiling Bill Simon that has made a host of friends in this country.
 Sitting about the fire place n ranch house the writer told ] group of cowmen about BiIl'1 operation and one of them told his story:
 Tt was just after Bill Simon anne to this country from the ast. He wasn't strong and all he life and the country of the vest was new to him. He anne out to where a pool outfit vas operating on Cow creek hat my father was interested 1

fact that the expenses of operating
the schools have increased very ma
terially. At the time the last bonds
were voted, our annual expenditure
for the schools was $4,000, and these
have increased from year to year until
for the year ending June 80, 1920, the
cost OF operating the schools was
$135, 1898.
At the time the $4,000 bond issue
was voted, there was an outstanding
Indebtedness of $4,000 of the 1903
binds and $4,000 of floating debt
This floating Indebtedness was paid
off, and property was acquired from
time to time by the board until on
June 80, 1919, the only outstanding
$4,000 OF the last issue of bonds. At
the present time, however. there is,
in addition to the $4,000 of bones, a
floating debt of $4,000, which arose
from an increase in the salary of
teachers during the middle Of the last
year, which was not conteE2 plated in
the assessment. Hence the expense
of operating the schools last year was
in excess OF that contemplated to that
extent, which came about in a very
reasonable and natural way.
In addition to this. however, the
board has now on hand sinking fund
Of $51,856, which it will use toward
the payment of the $4,000 of the last
issue of bonds. 1t is adding to this
sinking fund approximately $4,000 a
year, and the bonds were ten-year
bonds, so that at the expiration of the
ten years, the sinking fund will more
than take care Of the outstanding
bonds.
The last bonds were sold on four
and one-half per cent basis, and it
was found advisable to create sink
ing fund with which to pay them off
at maturity. However, financial con-
dtiOnS are off erent at present, and
the board hopes to be able to sell the
bonds on a five per cent rate and pay
off a certain amount each year, which
amount will be increased as the in
terest charges decrease, and will re-
Quire approximately an annual addi-
ton to our school budget of 1000.

The board has in mind as its pres
ent plan ana policy to pay off 100000
of the proposed issue of $500 900 of
bonds within the next twenty years
and refund at that time 100000 with
a view to paying it off within the next
ten years thereafter, so that the entire
obligation will be paid off within thirty
years. We believe that public build
ings should be paid for by the tax
payers who enjoy those buildings, dur
ing the life of the building, but that
no Indebtedness should be carried over
to a future generation beyond the life
time of the building for which the
bonds were issued.
If this plan is carried out, during
the first twenty years this bond issue
will cost the taxpayers approximately
$37 900 per annum, as the amount Of
tax to be procured will range from
s36,250 to $500, and an approximate
average will be $4,000.
The present assessed valuation of
all property in Keokuk is 5,371 ,466,
and it will require an assessment OF
2.41 mills per annum on the actual
value of the property used for assess
ment purposes to carry out the above
indicated policy of the board during
the first twenty years. Therefore,
property having an actual value of
900 for ass essment purposes will
pay $2.41 each year on account of the
new high school building, or approx
mately s148 during the next twenty
Year,.
At the time the board submitted the
question of issuing $4,000 of bonds
for the last new buildings erected, it
estimated that the bond issue would
call for an additional increase in taxes
of approximately IL mills. This
statement was published in the papers
at the time. For the purpose of
showing how the pledges made by the
board at the time of submitting that
bond issue have been carried out, we
would call your attention to the fact
that when the last bond issue was
voted, the school tax was 31.7 mills,
the year following, 1922, the next year,
391, the next, 35.25, the next, 31.5
mills, the next, 29.8 mills, and the
1919 taxes, which are being paid in
1920, are 34.7. The average millage
of school taxes during all
those years was 33.46 mills, or an
increase over the millage being paid
at the time the $95 900 bond issue was
voted, of 1.76 mills.
