JUNIOR PAINTERS
 READY FOR MEET

Ready to do battle. the Simpson Junior Panthers are waiting with fire in their eyes for the tournament to get under way at the B. A. c.
 The first thing that the simpsonites go up against in the way of opposition will be the Fairfax quintet at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The Junior Partners are not making any claims for any of the games but it can be seen that they will make somebody go the limit if they carry off any of the games that the Owenton boys are engaged in.
 The lineup for the tournament will probably be as follows: Englebert and Senn, forwards; Newton or Lee, center; Tanner or Wheeler and Self, guards. This is the same battle line that faced the southern quintets with so much success last week.

NEW LIGHTING PLANT WITHOUT
BATTERIES INSTALLED HERE

The installation of a new Kohler
farm lighting plant by Jacob Slap or
'Lynden is attracting considerable at
ltention as the Kohler operates with
out batteries.
The Kohler looks exactly like the
engine of an automobile, and in fact
is constructed along those lines with
carburetor, automatic starting sys-
TEN, and a similar principle of oper-
alton. There is practically nothing
about the plant to give trouble or
to wear out, so that long lifetime
of service may be looked for.
The Dupar-Blythe Company of Bel
bingham are Kohler agents, and the
Lynden Plumbing and Lighting Co.
had charge of the installation on the
Slap farm.

An Ode To The Hen

The eagle ought to have place among the false alarms; We place it's picture on our coins and on our coat of arms, But what did eagles ever do but frolic in tha sun; They'd be in jail for larceny if justice should be done. They are not half so good to eat as mal- lard duck or grouse; They'd surely cause panic, in sec tion boarding house; And never in this weary world was a farmer known to go To trade a pail of eagle eggs for nails or calico. The humble hen on t'other hand, still helps the world along. She lifts the farmer s mortgage as she trills her morning song. She yields the fragrant omelet, and when reduced to pie, She makes the boarder feel that he at least is fit to die. The eagle does not stir the souls of earnest, thoughtful men, So let us take her from the shield and substitute the hen.

Arizona's Tax Rate
 Fixed at 73 Cents

Arizona's tax rate has jumped 253 cents on every hundred dol lars property valuation as the re- suit of the economy" session of the state board of equalization, which body has been meeting for the past eight days. The new tax rate will be 73 cents per $10O, as against 473 cents last year.
 Decrease of $54, ,0OO, 900, or ap- proximately 6 per cent, in the value of taxable property in the state is recorded in the finding of the board, made public last night, the total valuation being $780, 900, 900. compared to $884. 900, 900 for the previous year. Surprise was expressed in some quarters that the tax rate was not set at a higher figure. Many persons looked for a 75 cents per $10O an- nouncement.
 Elimination of the industrial commission, through court decis- ion that the law creating it was unconstitutional, and disclosure that funds for vocational educa- ton would be necessary enabled the board to lower the tax rate somewhat, $15O, 1000 was to have been raised for the former and there remains a material unex- pended balance for the latter from the previous appropriation of $341, 900 sufficient to conduct the work in the state.
 Reduction of 124 per cent in the taxable value of irrigated lands, an advance of half over the cut recommended by the board of su- pervisors, was announced for Maricopa county. The board of supervisors has urged a 25- per cent slash on the $182 per acre figure of last year.
 The following changes were made in livestock assessments last year: Cattle, reduced from $3O to $25; sheep, from S8 to $5; goats, from S4 to s. The asses sor and board of equalization of Maricopa county had reduced by from 2b% to 2596 the valuations of all kinds of livestock last year. The state board restored these figures to the average throughout the state. e.-Coconino Sun.
