AN EASTER STORM.

Last Saturday was one Of the storm
lest days We have had for some time
Early in the morningit began raining
a nice steady rain, and as the day
grew older the rain turned to snow
and during the afternoon the storm
turned into a yeritable blizzard. Very
few ventured to come to town that
day to do their shopping. This was
just what we needed, however, to give
the small grain crop that is just being
seeded, good start. The precipita
tion from this storm measured So
of an inch and it wet up the ground
in good shape. The sun came out
bright and clear Easter Sunday morn
ing, and we again are being blessed
With nice bright spring weather, that
is causing vegetation to spring into
life. This was the heaviest rain and
snow storm we have had this year
The crop outlook at this time, is rel
tsinly very promising, to say the
least.

They handed the mandate for zap

Japan stands pat and refuses to

REV. VANVALKENBURGH GOES
TO DEADWOOD.

We clip the following item from
the Deadwood Daily Pioneer Times
OF March 22nd, which is self explana
tory. Rev. VanValkenburgb, home
steaded rear White River, and was
the first minister to serve the home
steaders in this county. 1t was through
his efforts that the Happy Hollow
Church was built, the Grst church TO
be erected exclusively by white peo
pie in this county, and he was also re
sponsible for the building of the
White River Congregational Church,
the first church building in the coun
ty hub and the second to be erected
in the county by whites. He Was
pastor of the local church in Wood
for two years, and last fall he went to
Buffalo to take charge of a church
there. We understand the Rev. will
dispose of his personal property at
public auction in the near future at
his ranch near White River, and will
then move his family to his new field
of labor at Deadwood. May his
work for the Master be pleasant and
his labors successful in his new field
is the wish of his Nlellette county
friends.
"Rev. Fl. c. vanvalkenburgh for
nicely pastor Of the Congregational
church at Buffalo, S. d., who deliv
cred the Sunday service at the Con
gregational church in this city, has
been selected to fill the pulpit of this
church by the board of trustees of the
church at a meeting held Sunday
afternoon.
"Rev. Van Valkenburgh, who form
erly lived in Ainsworth, Nebraska, de
livered a sermon last Sunday which
was received enthusiastically by the
entire congregation, and the vote to
retain his services for this church was
unanimous. He has accepted the
pa torship, and will move his family
wife and three children-to this
city shortly after the first OF next
mouth. That Mr.. and Mrs. Van Walk
enburgh and children will soon make
a host of friends in Deadwood is as
sured."

The Hotel Wood is being complete
ly renovated and redecorated on the
interior this week.
A little shrubbery around the house
few flowers ia the yard, the occasion
al use of lawn mower and rake.
Only three little things, easy OF &C
eomplishment in your idle moments,
yet they have wonderful effect in
adding beauty to the home and pride
and contentment in its possession.
A comparison OF front yards in this
town might set many OF US to think
ing.
People who don't want to settle
down to business sometimes tini it
embarrassing when the time comes to
settle up. Fault finding and grumb
ling over economic conditions may re
lievs our evaporation to slight e1
tent, but they do not remove the cause
for complaint. Patience is virtue
and virtue wins its own reward, but
only when both are followed tn a loG
ical conclusion. Conditions in thi.
country are not satisfactory, but voci
erously voicing our dissatisfaction
will not improve them. Patient ant
systematic effort toward production
will restore prosperity in time, but III
certainty and continued vacillstiol
will have only the opposite effect
Wisdom points the road for us all t
follow. The way may be long an
the toll may be great, but the rewar
of perseverance awaits us at the en-
of the trail.

A CORRECTION.

In the big Dollar Day ad last week
we made the Star Garage announce
that they would sell three Ford lights
for 81, when we should have said that
they will sell three Spark Plugs for
81 on this one day.
Ernest Seifert of the Wood Meat
Market has added another Offering
for Dollar Day to his list of specials
On this one day he will sell you five
pounds of good pure home rendered
lard for 81.

SCHOOL NOTES.

Monthly exams, are the order Of the
day.
Our tennis nets and racquets have
not come yet.
The yolley ball, foot ball and basket
ball are much in demand when the
weather Is fit for outdoor play.
We are beginning work on our Sec
ond play Down In Dixie We ex
pect to present this play about the
middle of May.
Mark Payne came over one noon
last " eek and gave the boys some In
structions In passing the foot ball
Some of the boys promise to become
real foot ball men.
WHY not take the necessary steps to
obtain school ground enough to ma Ike
a real play ground? We find that the
original plat calls for half block.
or course we should have at least
block and to neglect arranging for a
larger tract Immediately will be
grave mistake IL we have any faith In
the future OF the country and the
town. The school law provides for
fencing the school yard for the pur-
pose of protecting play ground appa-
ratus and trees from damage BY stray
stock. We believe that full block,
enclosed by a tightly stretched high
woven wire fence, would add materl
ally to the progressive appearance OF
the town. We believe trees can be
grown in our school yard as success
fully as they are in White River or IN
Murdo, and we believe we should
start some this spring. If we expecl
to make this ''thing OF beauty ano
10Y forever" we must begin now
Think 1t over and then let Us DO some
thing.

Poll Tax Not Flat Rate

Poll tax payers, including the women
now, should not get the notion that this
act Of the legislature was to levy poll
tax of one dollar. What the legislature
did was to fix the poll tax list,at one dol
lar as the basis for the assessing of taxes
in each city and town in Vermont. The
poll tax list is multiplied by the rate of
taxation in each town, just the same as
the property tax is established by multi
plying the grand list by the rate Of local
taxation. For instance, if the local rata of
taxation should be $360 the poll tax would
be $500 instead of 81 20 as is would have
been under the former basis Of a two.dol-
lar poll tax list. It would not be 81. as
some persons have been led to believe

speaks as follows concerning Representa-;
tive Stearns:
((The only man to attain even the prox-
unity of being director OF House action
was Charles H. Stearns CT Johnson, who
carried that body behind him in practically
all he undertook and whose hold grew
stronger as the session neared its end.
Perhaps it was Mr.. Stearns' geniality,
perhaps it was his rough-and-ready meth
DDS, or perhaps he correctly sensed and
represented the sentiment of the House
body. Whatever it was, he needed only to
hold out his hand and the House gave its
acquiescence. He was the only man in
the lower body who overturned unfavor-
able committee reports and put bills
through the House Notwithstanding. y

There is no doubt that Carpenter

take this one the same way.
