ONLY u. S. FLAG FLIES
 IN TOWN OF ARMENIA

ERIVAN, Armenia, March 25.-Some thirty American flags fly from as many buildings in this little town. It looks as American as any town in these parts could be. The only na- tional anthem recognized and well comed is "The Star Spangled Banner" All hats are raised when 1t is played, and even Bolshevik supporters pay homage.
 A banquet all toasts have reference to America or something American. Whether dead or alive, the "health" of prominent Americans is drunk. Re- gently at one banquet the 'health" of Theodore Roosevelt and George Washington was toasted at the same time as that of Warren Harding.

FRIEDA HEMPEL DELIGHT
TO DEAF AND BLIND

''Some persons go to musicales 10
sce the musician; others to hear the
music" In this line from we'll
known music novel, the critic OF the
Charleston West vlrginia) Gazette
began his review OF Frieda Hempels
concert there.
Probably some such emotions sway
tho public always" he went on, 'and
always there are the conflicting ones
concerning the personality OF the per-
former or the quality OF the music.
In the case OF Frieda Hempel. who
gnve n concert here last night. there
were no emotions that rioted with
each other, for a blind man would
have revcled In the song. and a deaf
mute would have offered up "a prayer
of thankfulness that no was permit
ted the Joy os seeing.
"Hempel came. saw and conquered.
No artist who ever appeared in
Charleston before provided 80 much
sheer enjoyment as did this singer.

ASKS FULL ASSESSMENTS
Mississippi Tax Body Appeals To
Supervisors. as

Jackaon.--The state tax commission
has just issued strong appeal TO the
board OF supervisors Of the state for
cooperation In the matter OF tax as
sessments for the current year. The
commission makes IL plain that reduc-
Ing assessments does not reduce the
taxes, but makes the tax burden un-
equal. and calls upon the supervisors
10 show more backbone.
The statement In part sent out by
the commission Is as follows;
There are near the state tax com
mission, in Jackson, the fossils Of a
Zeuglodon. These were pieces Of his
backbons. Each piece is about foot
hong and seven inches in diameter
II is thought that this fish had about
seventy feet OF backbone.
"There are some exceptions, but, In
who come before you with complaints
az TO their assessments. They even
appear with their attorneys. The av-
erage citizen is willing TO leave the
equalization OF his assessments to the
officers OF the law. Can you then I'M
pose a heavier burden on them by let
ting the tax-dodger escape taxation?
Take lesson from this old fish. lie
swan the waters OF the seas before
Adam was made from the dust; yet.
he had backbone enough to remain as
a menorial thousands OF years after
| Adam was driven from the garden of
Eden.
There are hundreds OF thousands OF
children TO be educated in Mississippi
there are many afflicted to be treated
and cared for; there is the greatest
need for the protection OF our citizens
from the ravsges OF tuberculosis and
other malignant diseases; there is q
great demand for better roads. How
can the money be had for those things
without taxatlonf How can taxation
be Just without nir equalization OF
assessment? How can there be a fair
equalization unless you DO your duty
Then take lesson from this old fish
have backbone enough 10 be moi
moved by the walls OF the tax-dodger
please do not increase any assess
ment which 10 rendered for the value
of tho property; justice. no doubt
~ouid demand reduction of such al
assessment. This commission urgei
you 60 increase the sssessments by In
creasing only the undervsl,ntion an'
by adding tn the rolls the property
which has been omitted therefrom. b,
all means make tho assessments a
nearly equal ss you can. according 4
the actual value of he property.
There may be some supervisor
with 10 feet Of backbone. We are no
az all interested IN what excuse 20
offer FOR doing your sworn duty. We
in good faith. urge you to do your ful
duty, and we propose TO co-operat
with you. II you viii do so. We wi
take the responsibility II you will d
your duty"
