ADVENTURE OF

After he had nearly ruined Mss
Tootsie Bobb, the JERSEY .a3y, ar
Daddy Long Legs, .he .o-g cotton
gentleman, by knocking -Le- :-.o
the hot Goals on the hearth. cs "a
away looking for more mischief.
He jumped over the roo:s. -==p-

who had some toys 20 play ~.:1.
Well, by and by ne came - re
house where family lived - re
name of Steplander. Yes. .-c- ::
sounds like Ste bladder, bu. i: ~sza'
quite.
The Steplanders had a IA. lizzie
boy who loved animals.
And for Christmas, Santa C.zC.
had brought him a bear on rollers,
a wooden lion with a real name and
tail, quite goodsized pig with hair
all over him, monkey in red
flannel jacket, black leather Puss-
in Boots, and hobby horse.
Billy Steplander liked to paint,
too. although he was only a lizzie
boy.
So Santa Claus had brought him
a box of water colors and some
Il ,o$,
paint in.
Snitcher Snatch looked around
(Billy was out making snowman
so the goblin knew there wouldn't
be anyone to see him) and it didn't
take him two seconds to make up
his mind what he was going to do.
Hal" cried he. 81 think bear
on rollers would look much hand
somer if it was pink. Yes sir, pink,
with blue polka-dots!"
SO he seized the water color paints
and went to the spigot in the bath
room across the hall and got glass
full of water, and got brushful of
deep pink paint and began.
When he had finished poor Bruin
looked as though his name should
be spelled without B. Because
the blue polka dots ran into the pink,
and he looked for all the world like
a woody Easter egg.
Now, them" said Snitcher
Snatch. "I'm ready for the next"
So he took the pig and began on
it, in red and green stripes.
When he got half way through,
he decided that the effect wasn't so
good, and he did the rest in plain
purple. Can you imagine what that
pig looked like!
He was just giving the wooden
lion coat of smeary black, when
he heard Johnny Sweeps voice up
the chimney.
II think he came this way,
Twins" Johnny was saying.
1t didn't take the goblin long to
jump out of the window, so they
didn't catch him that day either.

Is This Your
Birthday

SATURDAY, DEC. 27.-If the
world does not seem to iappreciate
your efforts do not be discouraged,
try just little harder.
Persons born this day are apt to
permit themselves to be moody, dis
couraged because everything they
do does not seem to. be right.
In fact the stars forecast happy
life for those born this day, but
point out that such happiness will
come only when the initiative and
natural ability held by such persons
are brought to the surface by en-
ergy.

ON HEALTH
BLOOD CIRCULATION

The operation of the blood was
the next lesson Mr.. Jones was to
learn in connection with bodily func-
tionings.
When proper respiration has sup
piled oxygen to the blood circulating
through the lungs and for the carry
ing off of carbon dioxide, it is nee
essary that the blood transport
these gases to or from the lungs. As
much as 10 cubic feet of oxygen
must be carried by the blood each "a
hours.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1924-12-27

has been developed by nature and it
is this that contains the red corpus
Giles. 1t can combine chemically with
oxygen. Hemoglobin is not dis
solved in the liquid of the blood, but
is packed in the red corpuscles.
These are very minute. being sew
eral million to small drop of
blood.
When the blood has flowed back
to the heart from which it has
started, considerable of the oxygen
has been removed. The heart sends
the blood into the lungs and there
it is infinitely divided.

LEARN TO SWIM

DROBABLY there is no more health
full diversion than swimming. 1t
brings all the muscles of the body into
play; it tones up the vital organs, and
Tin many cases it insures us against
an untimely death.
The few good swimmers in every
stream are constantly being called
upon to help some struggling person
who has over-reached himself or who
has not been in the water since the
days of his swimming hole experience
Such swimmers get winded easily and
they become exhausted some times in
deep water. The fact that they know
something about swimming makes
their rescue comparatively easy 9th
ers who have sense enough to open
their mouths above water and call for
help when they are in trouble and
close it when they go down seldom
drown when swimmers are about.

MORE TAX EXEMPT OFFERINGS

THE output of tax free securities
during the first half of 1924 ex-
ceeds all previous records, being al
most $750,00O,000. This is substan-
TALLY three times the output for the
entire year 1918, when only $262,S1S,-
844 were issued.
The urgent demand of wealth for
an avenue to escape from taxation has
created ready market for these Sc
curities, encouraging taxing authori-
ties to plunge communities recklessIy
into debt
The Bond Buyer of June 2S, review
ing the situation, says:
Just about one hundred important
offerings of state, municipal and fed
eral land bank bonds which have been
offered in the New York market since
January l aggregate slightly more
than $500,000,000, or an average o1
$5,000,000 per issue
"Total of all state and municipal fl
nancing for six months ending June
S0th is estimated at not less than
$660,000,OO0. If to this we add $685..
100000 federal land bank and numer-
Gus joint stock land bank issues, the
aggregate of tax-exempt securities flo
tations for the six months will come
close to three quarters of a billion.
With the income from this vas
wealth escaping taxation, the load OF
taxable property is just that mucl
heavier.

REAL VICTORY YET TO BE WON
T,HE injustice of assessing Arizona

THE injustice of assessing Arizona
u and the entire inter-mountain ter
ritory an undue freight rate tax
through discrimination in favor OF
coast cities was again pronounced IN
Washington few days ago, when Ex-
aminer Pattison of the interstate COM
merce commission recommended de-
NAL OF the latest application of trans
continental railroads to lower freight
rates to the Pacific coast without cor
responding adjustments in the inter
ior.
It is another victory in the long
battle for fair play. 1t is victory
won through the cooperative efforts OF
merchants and business men of Phoe-
nix, Spokane, Salt Lake City, Boise
and Reno and all the cities of the in
termountain country. 1t gives just
cause for rejoicing. But the final and
decisive victory is not yet won.
Arizona and the intermountain ter
ritory have enjoyed terminal freight
rates since 1918, and the country has
prospered. But the present command
ing position will not be secure until
it is impossible for the railroads even
to seek rate determinations to bolster
I'D their business to the coast.
So, with this new victory as an i'm
petus, Arizona and all the inter-moun-
tain territory must continue the fight
until the Gooding bill now before con-
gress becomes a law and makes the
long and short haul clause of the COM
merce act absolute.

SUPPORT THE SCHOOLS

IN all the welter of opinion and COM
ment on economy in government it
is we'll that we retain a healthy sense
of values That the tax burden is a
heavy one in these critical and stress
full days goes without saying. But so
long as we continue to pay golden
tribute to automobile manufacturers,
to filling stations, to moving picture
places, to ice cream parlors, to cigar
stands, and to a host of other dealers
in luxuries, there is splendid justifi-
cation in Arizona's expenditures of
funds for school purposes. That this
states school system has ranked
high for several years, and each year
sees an increase in it's rank, is well
known among educators and school
authorities, and so long as this gov
ernment purposes to be a government
of the people, for the people and by
the people, just so long must this gov
ernment have and Loyalty support, at
no matter how great sacrifice, it's
school system.

CLEAR UP BEFORE YOU
CLEAR OUT

MOTORISTS leave impressions OF
AVA themselves at their last camping
grounds. If they don't care for any
one else following them, they leave
the grounds with rubbish scattered
about and camp fire smoldering. But
they should be as considerate for 9th
ers as they would want others to be
for them.
Rubbish should be cleared up, burn
ed or buried in a ditch which should
be covered over. And the last smok-
ing ash of a camp fire should be dead
ened to avoid fire.
