LEVY COURT DEFERS ACTION
ASSESSMENT BOARD HELP
MAJORITY OF MEMBERS STRONG
FAVOR CUTTING EXPENSES
Final Action on the Matter, Will Be
Taken Up at Next Meeting of the
Kent County Levy Court

AT the meeting of Kent County
Levy Court, Tuesday, the matter of
clerical help in the Board of Assess
ment, which has now been before the |
court for the past two weeks, was
again taken up. Members explained |
the reason for desiring clerical help |
for the remainder of the year, mas |
much as the assessment for the year |
has been made and taxes are now be- |
ing collected. At a meeting a week |
ago, the Levy Court informed the
members of the assessment board that
there was no need of retaining the
clerical help any longer, and suggest
ed that the members divide work in
the office for the next five months,
among themselves. To this communi-
cation, two of the members of the
board, John A. Barnard, Republican,
and Jonathan G. Cooper, Democrat,
took exception and sent communi-
cation to the court. The point was
that the members considered it we'll
to do away with the services of Mrs.
Herbert, a clerk, and retain Mr.. Glib
son, an expert. There was a full
hearing of the case, the board differ
ing as to the retention of Mr.. Gibson.
Mr.. Barnard claimed that the S125 a
month paid him was for no certain
time, while Mr.. Grieves, who accom-
panied Mr. Barnard to Georgetown to
wait on Mr.. Gibson, when contemplate
ing his employment, distinctly recol-
lected the four months arrangement
as to his employment. A majority of
the Levy Court are still of the opinion
that the Board of Assessment can
transact what little work there will be
within the next five months, and that
there will be no need of any clerks.
Final action was deferred until next
weeks meeting.
A report was revised from the
bridge tender at Barker's Landing in
which he stated he was attending to
the duties of his office to the best Of
his ability. Complaint had been made
to the Levy Court at its meeting last
week, that the keeper had been dere-
lict in his duties. r. r. Kenney, at
torney for the Levy Court, said he had
gone over the shemff's accounts, about
which inquiry had been made at thC
last meeting, relative to the fees o.
receipts from levies made by tht
sheriff, had found them correct, tn
proper amount having been paid owe

GET TO WORK ON GARDEN
Really There 10 No Reason Why There
Should Be Any Unused Ground
in Community.

A garden is a good investment. A
garden saves money. A garden pro
notes health.
The cost of living still is burden
some to multitudes. Here Is where the
garden can be made to help. 1t all de-
pends on the man with the hoe Enough
Of him, working at odd times during
the next few weeks, with slight atten-
ton during the summer, can accom-
plish more for the general material
welfare than can he accomplished
through the operation of treaties and
tariffs. No doubt about II at all Let
the available unused plots of ground
In the nation be utilized for garden
purposes; let every citizen tend his
little patch-rich man, poor man, beg
gar man-with the school children do
ing their bit, as was done during the
war and 10 the most veXing internal
domestic problems will be settled. and
millions of people will be out OF the
trenches of trouble before Christmas.
Now is the time for the man with
the hoe to get busy. Whether prices he
high or low, 1t pays to make a garden.

MANY TIMES CLOSE TO DEATH
Cowboy Must Have Had Creepy Feel
ing When He Realized What
He Had Escaped.

The best story of horses Jumps
which comes to mind is that of q cow
boy. He was taking steers to Lead
Vile and had camped for the night on
Bear river near its junction with the
Little Snake. In the middle of the
night something occurred to stampede
the cattle. The cowboy mounted his
broncho and rode hither and thither
on the flank Of the herd until their
fright had died away. Four or fivs
times the rider felt his horse give tre-
mendous leaps and with daybreak dis
covered the cause.
The cattle had climbed to q level
plateau which is intersected by can
yon four miles long and from 1.5OO to
2,OOO feet deep. Its walls incline
toward each other at the top. where
the distance is fifteen to twenty feet.
In riding, the man had kept his steers
circling about this plateau. A dozen
Of them he found had fallen down the
canyon and been killed.
Hoofmarks showed him that the
great jumps made by his horse were
occasioned by the animals clearing the
canyon each time 1t came to the TAX
ing-on spot.

Night In the Forest.

Through the forest Is great silence,
but no stiffness. The whippOorwlll

Of his regular song, over and over the

ceaseless dash Of the rapids, are the
web on which the night traces her
more delicate embroideries Of the un-
expected. Distant crashes, stealthy
footsteps near at hand subdued
scratching Of claws; a faint sniff, the
mournful cry Of the loon, instinct with
the spirit of loneliness the ethereal
call-note of the birds Of passage high
in the air; II pattern among the dead
leaves. and at last, from the thicket
close at hand, the beautiful silvery
purity of the white-throated sparrow
the nightingale Of the North-trem-

ATTENDANCE AT STATE UNI
vERsITY LARGEST IN HISTORY

Boulder, Colo, Oct. 5.-The largest
number of students in the history of
the institution are enrolled at the
University of Colorado for the au-
tumn quarter. The attendance record
was broken at the end of the fifth
and last day of registration when the
records showed that 1856 students
had matriculated This is an increase
of 9.6 per cent over the enrolment at
the end of the second week last year,
the figures at that time being 2,l5S.
The attendance at this time, the
very beginning of the university year,
is within 80 of the total enrolment
for the autumn, winter and spring
quarters last year.
Acting President o. q. Lester an
nounced at the close of registration
that the attendance for the autumn
quarter this year will undoubtedly
pass the 2,40O mark and that he ex-
poets the total enrolment for the
autumn, winter and spring quarters
to reach at least 1900.
Last year and the year 1919 it was
necessary for the university to de-
cine new students several days bo-
fore the stated date for closing reg
istration. This was not necessary
this year because the new liberal arts
building just completed provides ia
cilities for handling several hundred
more students. In certain depart.
