Those who are entitled to partial
exemption of the property tax levied
by the city must make application to
the Tax Department bureau in their
borough before November 49, or no
exemption will be allowed. The as
sumption that the exemption will be
granted automatically is not correct.
The Tax Department is proceeding as
if there were no exemption and is
placing on each parcel what it thinks
is its true value.
1t is the responsibility Of each
house builder to remind the Tax De-
partment that he or she is entitled to
reward for building within the time
limit. The department is ready and
willing to allow the exemption, ano
once allowed it will remain on the
records to the benefit of that prop
erty for the next ten years.
The form printed above must be
filled out by every applicant for ex-

be filled for each piece of property
on which exemption is claimed. The

CALLED BY DEATH

Annie Josephine Sagen, age 16
years, months and 10 days, daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. E. H. Sagen of
the town of Washburn, passed away
On Christmas evening at one o'clock
after lingering illness with spinal
trouble. During the day previous
to her death she read the Christmas
cards which had been sent to her by
her ;uany frienis, and with smile
on her face parsed from this earth.
The funeral services were held on
Wednesday afternoon from the
family residence, being in charge of
Rev. Chr. CSristiansen. Interment
was in Woodland cemetery, this city.
Annie was taken i'll more than
three years ago with disease of the
spine and in the hope of benefting
her health she was taken to Eau
Claire for an operation. This prov
ed unsuccessful and again she was
taken to the hospital at Rochester,
MINI, for medical aid, but without
success, and on Saturday death came
to claim her from her long suffering.
Although Annie Sagen has been
i'll for more than three years, yet
she was never heard to complain, but
instead carrying that sweet smile
upon her face in order to brighten
the lives of others who were more
fortunate. She was born in Wash
harn, and during her life made hun
Jreds upon hundreds of friends. She
was patient sufferer during these
long years, and even unto the last
when life was at low ebb, she had
never a word of complaint, but SEEM
ed to take pleasure in the remem-
brance Of her many friends in the
shape of Christmas cards.
The world was better for Annie
Sagen having lived in it for her
life was an inspiration to others.
The many friends of the family join
in extending their heartfelt SYM
patty to the family in their hour of
sorrow.

LABOR BURDENS OF

The most recent statistics on the

are 100000 electrified farms in Amer

900 farms that are not electrified.
On these later the women far
more than the men, are laboring
under back breaking burdens. Liter
ally they are performing slavish
labor. Investigations have disclosed
thai 81 per cent of them carry water
from the well every day and that
they average As tons of water year.
They help with the milking and
separating, and 80 per cent of them
wash the milk pals, while 65 per cent
of them clean the cream separator.
Country life, without the drudgery
taken out of it by electrical methods,
means that "a per cent of the farm
women must do their own baking,
never having chance to fall back

shop, as do their city sisters; and 95

Several times we have been the
victims of theft of one sort and an
other, but Of none more contemplate
than that of our Christmas tree stol-

evening before Christmas. We had
been talking Christmas Tree" for
days past to our little three year
old boy and imagine the consterna-
ton of all of us when I went out to
bring the tree in and found it was
gone.
To get another tree at that late
an hour was almost impossible but
/ made up my mind that our little
boy should not be cheated out of his
Christmas Tree by the act of that
mean man stealing the tree and with a
lantern and an axe / went out in the
woods and got another tree getting
home with it at loo A. M.
The tree was not stolen by any
little boy as tracked the perpetra-
tor as far as the alley and judging
by the size of his hoof tracks he
was big and strong enough to go out
in the woods and get one for him.

the medium of the Times columns
to let the perpetrator of this mean
act know what we and others think
Of man that will do an act like that
which / have related.

SOLOMON LEvITAN's ADDRESS

MADISON, Wis.-That the bust
ness which will soon strike this coun-
try will result in the building of
homes and That these homes will
need millions Of dollars of furniture,
was the declaration of Solomon Levi
tan, president of the Commercial Ma
tional Bank Of Madison, in speaking
before the Wisconsin Furniture Deal
ers' Association here August Oath.
"Once construction gets fairly
started the entire industrial train will
be back on the main track, declared
Mr.. Levitan, making no stops un-
til it reaches the greatest era this
country has ever known.
"The mission of the furniture
dealer is to transform houses into
homes. A house is a mere assemb-
lage of lumber and brick; a home is
the foundation of human happiness
and national welfare. There are
today hundreds of agencies tending
to destroy the home and home life.
You sellers of furniture, however,
have as your ideal the creation of
homes so attractive that the family
will again be content TO remain at
home at least one evening every
week.

world has consented to marry the

the worst mistake you can make
is to forget to advertise. Your news
paper is a master-salesman with
thousand tongues. No matter how
suave, skillful, and convincing your
salesman, he can talk to but one GUS
toner at time; and his craftsmanship
can be practised only on people who
enter your store. 1t would be dis
Greet to walk up to q woman on the
street and say, Madam, we have the
finest kitchen cabinets on the mar
ket, and we are selling them at
special prices this week" The wo-
man might misunderstood, and the
Judge might be unsympathetic. But
a newspaper has the privilege of tell
ing friends and stranger all about
these cabinets. 1t tell everyone who
gets the newspaper, whether he buys
| it at the news stand or picks it up in
front of his neighbours door. The
money spent for newspaper advertis-
ing is not an expense; it is the best
investment you can make.
"The revival of building means the
revival of all industries. The mil
lions of homes we need will mean
millions of furniture. Do your
share toward the stimulation Of
building; and your share consists in
selling at as low margin as is
consistent with sound business. Once
construction work gets fairly started,
the entire industrial train will be
back ON the main track, running ex-
press and making no stops until it
reaches the era of greatest prosper
ity this country has ever known"

2278 miles more of fine surface high
ways than it had last year. The
present year has been an exceeding

report of construction work for the
year, which gives substantially the
total accomplishment though the
year is not yet closed. Few people

the whole system of roads in the
state is being made over into high

that total Of 1904 miles of road has
been graded and surfaced during

Dear Friends:
We are asking that if you have
not already reported the amount of
money received for the Pure Air
Piano Fund will you not at once send
forward all money placed with you
for that purpose? From reports al
ready received we are sure of being
able to obtain a piano but the grade
of instrument and kind whether or
binary piano or player piano must
depend upon the total amount of
contributionsto be reported.
If, therefore, it is possible for you
to increase the amount over what
you now have we assure you it will
be very greatly appreciated by the
patients at Pure Air.
The local committee desires to take
this means of thanking everyone,
banks, newspapers, club and indivi-
duals, who have in any way assisted
this campaign.
We especially desire to thank the
publishers of the Ashland Daily
Press, for without the vigorous sup
