COME MEMBERS OF ORDER.

Aberdeen, July 31.-James II.
Howard, arrested few days ago by
deputy sheriff on charge of syn
dicalism, was held by Judge A. l..

that If he did not take out an I. w

in his shoes which would so affect hi
feet that he would be unable to wall
very far and that the organizer aske,

Buried Wealth
Found BY Boys

Watertown, July 31.-Paul and
Leo Breske, 10 and years old, were
preparing to go fishing when they
discovered $85 in paper money which
had evidently been buried on the
shore of Lake Kampeska for years.
Portions of the bills had rotted away
but enough remained to show the de-
nominations.
The boys were digging for angle
worms for bait when they turned up
the paper bills. At the sight Of the
money all thoughts of fishing van
ished and they hurried home to show
their find.
The bills were taken to a local
bank where bank officials advised
sending them to a federal reserve
bank for replacement. This has been
done.

1920 Assessment
To Be Increased
10 Percent West

The 1920 assessment OF Marion
eounty property will represent an in.
.rease of nearly 10 percent over the
1919 figures. according TO County As
SCISSOR Ben F. West. Assessor West
claims that this increased valuation
i necessary because Of The removal

from he tax rolls. which was author
lzed under an act of thes191s legis-
nature.
The total valuation OF Marion coun-
~ nroperty at the present time is sac.
sss. 142, estimating that the county
will lose two million dollars Of this
from the 1929 tax roll. this would
,eaye the county with a comparative
ly large levy in proportion to valua-
lions here and elsewhere. The 10 per
eenf assessment increase will return
the figure to about SAC. geo, 600. The
additional assessment is favored By
nany assessors of this state rs pre-
senting to the outside investor the as
nect of a small levy and a large va'-
uation.
While the valuation is increased
In proportion to the expense Of coun-
'ty government and other needs, AS.
SCISSOR sWest points out that it will
give a lower millage on the final tax
boil make up. Another point is that
'bv this additional assessment, public
utilities will be put in line to
'their share of the burden.
Speaking of the increase, Mr.. West
