Odd Features On New Furs
One of the most remarked features
OF the new seasons furs Is a tendency
to either a side or a surplice closing,
and the tailored effects given to the
garments many OF them being exact
reproductions OF cloth coats and
wraps. even 10 their splendidly tall
ored aspects.
That coat dresses, entirely Of fur,
are fashioned on corseted foundations
and have lines as clearly defined and
graceful as any velvet, proves to what
an extent this process OF finishing furs
has been carried and how satisfactory
Is tho result. Fan pleats are intro
duced in some short coats, which
have also close fitting sleeves with
all-over cuffs of the trimming. In
each OF these models '6roadtail and
sable were the pelts combined.
Chipmunk, which Is technically
termed "baraduki," and a species OF
rat called "loir." chinchilla rat and

The Three-Nill Levy Proposition

In August. 1920. every school
district in Morgan county, except
Morgan township, voted on prop
osition to levy taxes for schools at
the rate of three mills, in addition
to the regular school levy. In all
of these districts. except Deerfield
township, the proposition carried
at that time, and it carried in
Deerfield township in November of
the same year. The tax duplicates
of the school districts of Morgan
county are too small, with possibly
the one exception, to produce the
funds necessary to maintain the
schools, and it is necessary for
these districts to receive a consider
able amount of state aid. Last
year the county received more than
$5O,00O state aid for its schools.
One of the conditions prescribed
by law under which a district may
receive aid. is that such district
must levy taxes for schools at a
rate of at least three mills in ex-
cess of the regular rates allowed
by law.
In the following districts the
term during which this additional
levy may be made has expired, or
will expire with this year, and the
boards of education are asking the
people to authorize them to con-
tinue the levy for another period.
These districts are Bristol, Deer
field, Malta, Manchester, Meigs-
Vile, Union, Windsor, and York
townships and Deavertown and
Malta -McConnelsville villages. Dur
ing the last two years these ten dis
tricts have received $56,510.87 as
state aid, and they have given to
their own schools about $4,000
as result of the three-mill levy,
making total of about s125,510
in excess of the amount produced
by the regular levies, which was
