Valuation of Iowa land for pur-

at this time, but will remain upon
the 1919 basis, according to a re-

was announced after hearing In
which the Iowa Farm Bureau Fed

The hearings occupied several
days. Besides the Federation rep

speaking in the interest of the
farmers of Iowa, was represented
by Attorney j. G. Mitchell, Presi-
dent Hunt and members of the
committee on taxation.
Mr.. Mitchell had fortified his po-
sition by a searching survey OF ag-
ricultural conditions covering
every county in the state. His
evidence and exhibits" were in
controvertible, and he was able to
present the case Of the farmers in
a sane, business-like manner never
attempted before in connection
with the problem of tax equal
ization.
The decision of the Council is a
distinct victory for the Federation
in particular and the farmers in
general. The trend Of the times is
unquestionably toward boosting
values with the idea of keeping the
levy down. Valuations of rail
roads, public utilities and some
other kinds Of property were ma
terially increased, and there is
every reason to assume that land
values would have been advanced
if the Federation had not made
such a convincing showing to the
effect that farm lands are already
carrying disproportionate share
of the burden.
incidentally it adds another
item to the growing list Of things
accomplished by the Federation
|, for the farmers of Iowa.

long enough time for a proposal if
the man intends to make one, pro-

any obligations toward a mother or
sister, or is he not earning enough
money to keep a wife? How old is
he. How old are you? Is he very,
very bashful? Perhaps he takes it
for. granted you will marry even

information | 'have, | sympathize

Why Spanish Women Love Earrings

doing gorgeous Spanish dancing

Do you always wear them"
she was asked.
Except when ] sleep" she re-
piled, touching ,endcrly the long
ihree-scctorcd beads OF jet suS-

In Spain they pierce girl baby's
ears when she is a few months old,
Miss Cansino explained. and the
child wears small gold ring until
old enough 20 adopt the more mar
velous bangles which most women,
aud all Spanish women, adore. Per

face that they love them so much.

to her cheek bones, high, wide. and

narrowing OF the face below them.

CHAPTER XVIII
Kidnapped.

There was great rejoicing among
all the Mouse family. Pudgy Mr..
Moses Mouse had picked up bit
OF news that delighted him and his
wife and all their many relations,
Somebody had stolen Miss Snooper
AS the Mouse family always called
Miss Kitty Catl Somebody had taken
her away!
Master Meadow Mouse had seen
il all; and he had told Moses exactly
h1w it happened Master Meadow
Mouse knew that wagon had borne
Miss Snooper up the road and over
the hill. He had watched it disap-
pear, with his own eyes. All those
things Moses Mouse repeated as fast
as his short breath would permit. He
had hurried back home 10 tell the
news as soon as he had heard II. He
found, however, that no one cared
who took her; no one cared when.
II was enough to know that she was
gone. And everybody exclaimed tina,
il was the best news ever-and good
riddancc to bad rubbish -- meaning
Miss Kitty Cat.
II it were only true! The Mouse
family scarcely dared believe that
it was. But when two days had pass
cd, and Moses Mouse himself had
even ventured into the pantry, and
the kitchen, and the woodshed, with
out meeting Miss Kitty, the Mouse
family dared decide that she had in
deed gone for good.
Meantime Miss Kitty Cat was hav-
ing most unhappy time. 1t was
true that she had been stolen A
man driving a peddler's wagon up
the hill one evening had noticed her
as she lay on top OF the stone wall,
around the turn of the road beyond
the farmhouse. "Kitty Kittyl Kit
ty" he called, as he stopped his
horse. And reaching behind the seat,
he brought out bit OF food, which
he held out for her.
Now, it happened that at that very
moment Miss Kitty Cat had her
mind on food She had been hoping
that meal would appear at any mo-
ment out OF chink i'll the wall And
when it was dangled right before her
eyes like that she couldn't resist it.
She climbed up into the wagon. And
the next thing she knew, the ped
dler had clapped her into basket
and fastened the cover. Miss Kitty
Cat was prisoner.
