Would you let him go on as he has
been doing or would you sue him for
child desertion?
Sometimes l think l will not bother
him or even let him see the babe,
since he does not care for it. He is
fellow who is great lover Of home

he has done so many mean things

too much for the kind of man he is.

Unless you agreed in court to sup

father, you can sue him fer child

HER SECOND THOUGHTS ON

ENGAGEMENTS IN GENERAL
Gracious, I've been so busy being
engaged, and feted> and fused over,
that l have hardly had a minute to
think. l feel as II my brain were
spinning sometimes. Mother is going
to see this thing through in proper
style. There's no getting out Of be-
ing Mrs. Jack on the tenth of June
as far as she is concerned. That
much is certain. I've been to half a
dozen teas and as many dinners since

old "Brixy."

the cold shivers down my back, to

ALL LANDS NOW MUST SHARE THE
 BURDEN OF TAX
U. s. Court Rules Lands In
 Project Upon w h i c h Proof Of Residence Ac- cepted But No Patent Is- sued Taxable

Denying the motion of the plaintiff William Irwin, to strike out the answer of the defendants, which in cluded officers of Maricopa county, Judge David Dyer in federal court yes- terday ruled, in effect, that lands within the Salt River Valley recla- : mation project upon which proof of residence has been accepted, but on which no final certificate or patent has issued, are taxable by the county. The court ruling directly affects 49 40-acre tracts and, indirectly, a large portion of the lands within the pro- ject.
 The ruling, according to County Attorney l.. M. Laney, who repre- sented the defendants in court yester- day. will have a far-reaching effect in the valley. A big proportion of the most valuable agricultural lands of the valley are directly affected, he states. and the ultimate result will be 10 reduce taxes in this county.
 Had the court held that these un- patented homestead lands were not taxable said MT. Laney last evening, then the patented lands and business property of the valley would have been obliged to shoulder the burden of all school. road and highway bond issues in addition to paying sufficient county taxes to meet current operating ex- penses of county offices.
 In holding that these lands, which form big proportion of the irrigated lands, are taxable by the county, the courb has ruled, in effect, that they must share equally with other lands the tax burdens, current and future''

 Child Welfare to- Be Theme.
 Mrs. Norton has long been the ac- cepted leader of the movement in the state, and has emphasized the work of the congress along the lines of child welfare. She will devote the greater part of her address this afternoon to the subject. Mrs. Norton was chosen last May to represent the state at the national child welfare conference in Kansas City. and put into practice many of the ideas gleaned at the gathering.

question were to be assessed only against the reputable interest of homesteaders. This resolution was adopted, county officers say, because they realized the fallacy of a plan to endeavor to assess lands owned or controlled by the United States gov- ernment.
 Back taxes in the sum of S25.000 on the lands directly affected by the de- cision, and a much larger amount on the lands indirectly affected by the ruling. are now collectable, County Attorney Laney stated last evening. Suits to collect these back taxes have already been instituted against a large number of lands similarly situ- ated. some of the defendants being included in the list of plaintiffs rep resented in the action brought by Mir. Irwin. County claims for back taxes have been satisfied in a number of instances where court procedure was started, the county attorney said.
 Leave to file a reply was granted the plaintiff, who announced that an appeal to the district court of appeals or the United States supreme court would be taken.

The Monroe school baseball team yesterday won it's most important vic tory of the season when it defeated the high school freshman nine, 9 to 5.
 The "freshies" invaded the Monroe field with the idea of grabbing off all honors, but the grammar school lads showed 'em a few things about the liners arts of the great American game.
 Poor fielding by the high school lads was partially the cause of their defeat On the other hand, the Monroe players played a Snappy game in the field and their club work was an important factor in the victory.
