What Will be the effect Of these In

rate OF $i.90 per 800 Of assessed
valuation is subdividcd S1.73 for gem
eral purposes and S0.i7 for school
purposes. 1t Is estimated that these
rates will produce approximately
$1,92G.ooo general and si99,2o0 FOR
school purposes during the present
ycar. Making reasonable allowance
for delinquency, an ipcreasc g 1 cent
per 800 on tho present valuation

OPEN SECOND half
Southwestern League viii Re-
new Struggle This Afternoon.
Clubs Again on Even Basis
Topeka at Hutchinson.

The Southwestern league teams.
after an off day yesterday, will open
the second half of the season this. aft
ernoon. The standing of the teams
during the first half has been forgot
ten except that Sapulpa, the winner,
will meet the winner OF the second
half in a post season series to fight
it out for the championship.
In making plans for a split series
and permitting the teams TO start over
again on an equal basis, the leaGu
magnates had in mind the very thing
that happened. The southern clubs.
having been in the league last year
and well organized when the circuit
was changed this spring, had a big
advantage over the northern clubs,
which had only a short time in which
to prepare for the opening of the sea-
SON.
Topeka with a 500 or better club
probably could have weathered the
storm but it is doubtful if Salina and
Hutchinson would make It thru the
season was it not for the split sched-
ule which permits them 70 start over
again on an even basis with the other
clubs after having undergone the ex-
perimental stage. If the northern
