PLEASURE BEACH.

Pleasure Beach is crowded with bathers these midsummer afternoon days and there is widespread interest in the new equipment that has re- gently been installed at this popular resort There are two fine large floats with diving boards and a high diving platform in the deeper water On most any afternoon one may see hundreds of bathers from the out lying towns. The new beach is the center of aquatic sports this season, and another big swimming and div ing contest is now being arranged:
 In this connection it is interesting to note that a great many entries are being made in the Bathing Suit Fashion Parade which will be a fea- ture of the Republican Jubilee Day, Saturday, July 30th- Prizes will be given for the most artistic suits and the most comical suits worn by men. women and children. The managers of the Republican picnic also report a lively contest among the various candidates in the popular girl con- test which will be another feature of the picnic. Each nationality in the Brid dgeport district will select it's favorite girl and these contestants will be in the race for the grand prize on the day of the picnic.
 The picnic season is now in full blast at the park and every day sees outings from far and wide.

FARM BUREAU TO URGE
LOWER TAN ON REAL ESTATE

Frankfort, Ky. Aug. 22.-The Leg
islative Committee of the Kentucky
Association of Farm Bureaus, which
will maintain an agent here during
the 1922 session of the General AS
sembly, thus far has not advocated
change in the present tax law, but it
is vehemently urging strict and
equitable enforcement of the law. A
tentative programme was outlined re-
Gently by the Legislative Committee
at meeting in the Office of the presi-
dent, Godfrey Morgan, in Louisville.
Members of the bureau feel that
real estate continues to be the con-
sEicuous object of taxation, and il the
State Tax Commission lacks the
equipment to ascertain the value of
mining PROPERTY and I'd equalize fran
land the commission probably will
nave the support of the bureau in OBJ
49, ing it.
The only feeling against the pres
ent law appears to be that some
members think, since the ascending
curve OF land values from 1917 10
1921 corresponded to the increase in
assessment, the downward drop /of
values would he accompanied by q
corresponding decrease in assess
ments.
It is contended by the commission
that it has made adequate allowance
for imitation of prices and the in
crease in assessments from year tC
year was not based on war prices, bu
ON the fact that the old assessment
averaged only 60 per cent of thu
cash value of property, and the com
mission was obliged to raise 1t t
100 per cent?

WARRIOR KING OF
SERBIA Is DEAD

Belgrade, Aug. 16.--Former Kine
Peter of Serbia died today of con
gestion of the lungs.
He sank into unconsciousness Fri
day, remaining in that condition un.
til the following day. His condition
became worse Sunday night, and he
failed gradually until the end.
King Peter of Serbia, 76 years old
white haired, deaf, i'll of infirmities
of age and suffering from the wounds
Of three or more wars, relinquished
the cares of State in 1919, when his
second son, Crown Prince Alexander,
succeeded him and became the ruler
of the new State of Jugo-Slavia. He
then declared:
my beloved Serbia is now free
and its future, I believe, will be a
great one. My work is over. / de-
sire only the continued affection and
devotion of my dear people, and, fl
nally, a grave on Serbian siol."
Despite his age King Peter pre-
scented one of the most courageous
figures of the war, The day Serbia
rejected the Austrian demands he re-
nounced his temporary abdication Of
the throne and placed himself once
more at the head of the country. He
even then was almost sightless and
deaf and was under the constant care
of physician.
When the fortunes of war turned
against the Serbians he remained
with his armies until practically the
last units had been driven from the
country. He then effected an escape
through Albania and went to SALON.
Xxi, where he presided over the re-
organization of his forces. After
ward he went to Corfu, where he es-
tablished headquarters and took an
active part in the direction of his
nomadic Government.
Forced from his Capital, Belgrade.
and thence from Nish by the advanc-
ing army of the Central Powers in
1915, his country laid waste by fire
ard shell, King Peter lived to return
20 Serbia and engage actively in the
reorganization, and reconstruction of
his domains. From the beginning of
the conflict the aged monarch encour-
aged his troops and people, despite
the most depressing reverses, and on
several occasions personally led the
Serbs into battle.

THE STATE OF MIND

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think that you dare not,
you don't.
II you like to win, but think that you
can't,
It's almost ''cinch" you won't.
II you think you'll lose, you've lost,
For out in the world, you find,
Success begins with fellows will
It's all in the state Of mind;
Full many race 10 lost
Ere even a step Is run,
And many a coward fails
Ere even his works begun.
Think big, and your deeds will grow,
Think small, and you'll fall behind.
Think that you can and you will,
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you are outclassed. you
are;
You've got to think high to rise;
You've got to be sure of yourself
before
You can ever win a prize.
LIES battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man.
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the fellow who thinks he can.

Specta! Dispatch to The Tribune
GOSHEN, N. V, Aug. 21.-A political
storm is raging in the 9th Judicial
District over the fact that William L.
Ward, Republican leader of West
chester IS opposing elevation 20 the
Appellate bench of Justice Arthur S.
TomDkns, Of Nyack.
Justice Tompkins's supporters assert
that the bar associations of Orange.
Rockland and Duchess counties have
Endorsed Justice Tompkins unanimous
ly and that 90 per cent Of the lawyers
in Putnam and Westchester counties
are supporting his promotion, but that
Ward has constituted himself the fy
in the ointment. According to reports.
Ward is anxious to have Justice J. A.
Young, of New Rochelle, who is re-
garded as his political fidus achates,
appointed to the place made vacant by
retirement of Justice Isaac n Mills,
of Mount Vernon. The latter will leave
the bench in a few weeks.
Governor Miller will be called on to
decide between Justice Tompkins. who is
close friend of the Governor, and
Justice Young. 1t is pointed out by
friends of Justice Tompkins with some
anxiety that while the latter is CLOSE
to the Governor" Ward is closer still.
Justice Tompkins clashed with Ward
politically four years ago, when he OPP
posed the latter's bill to create two
more judgeships. Ward now is engaged
in contest with Leslie Sutherland,
Republican City Chairman of Yonkers,
for control of the local organization
