Home Town
What one thing won the war?

Wnat one thlng won the WARP
II was leadership.
We in this country are not willing
to admit that the weight of our
army and navy did not play large
| part IN bringing hostilities to a close
but without unified command we
might be lighting yet.
Leadership was what won for the
allies IN their fight to make the world
safe for democracy" In all the
world, throughout all history, there
never was a bigger job than this. and
the leadership OF Gen. Foch finished
It.
But what has this to do with our
home town You ask.
Wen show you in just a minute.
Leadership Is Essential
What mobolized all America so
that il wa able to put the weight Of
all its 110,000,000 people, Of all its
industries. of all its wealth and Of
all its natural resources behind the
blow we struck for humanity

country did in providing the world
with a merchant marine, Is case in

If we pull in opposite directions
we, the community. VIII suffer. China
has 100000 men, each Of whom
can Outwork an American. Russia
has a large population and great
natural wealth, yet neither China or
Russia is prosperous. They lack real
leaders

leaders If they are to guide the way

Compiled BY Local
Man Show That Taxes Will
Not Be Raised Over
% Mills


The following data prepared by
Superintendent II. e. Elliott. of the
local schools, will give some enlight-
enment to taxpayers on the effect OF
the proposed bond issue on their tax
es
"One fair and logical question
which every tax payer has a right to
ask in connection with the proposed
school bond election is, "how will my
taxes be affected?" Usually without
waiting to receive an answer based
on facts, he concludes that it will
raise them beyond his ability to pay
and announces his decision to op-
pose it.
If the bond election carries. the
tax will be raised not over 2.2 mills,
or about two dollars per thousand
of valuation. This means that If
man owns a home valued at $4,000,
he will pay about $500 more per
year than at the present time How
ever, 1t must be kept in mind that
the district special levy was reduced
by the school board 1.5 mills this
year, so that the bond tax will be
increased only z of a mill over what
It was last year and preceding years.
Thus, it will be seen that taxes will
be raised only seventy cents on the
thousand valuation above what IL
has been in the past
'The district special tax is now
only S.5 mills which will be raised
to about 1917 mills. This figure is
1nly about one-half what other Glass
A districts in this section Of the state
are paying For example. Boise now
evies a district special tax Of l6.5
mills; Payette, 22 mills; Twin Falls.
22.6 mills; Caldwell, 21 mills: Poca-
clio, 20.5 mills; Bull, % mills;
23 mills and Rupert, 20
mills.
I'm addition to the district levy
here is a school tax levy for county
purposes. This levy ranges from 2.2
Mills in Elmore county to as high
s 10 mills in Bingham county. We
ave the lowest county tax levy for
chool purposes in the whole state.
he average county levies in the
boye named districts is over mills
r more than twice what we nav In
,lmore county. Surely then the in
rease in taxes will not financially
ripple any taxpayer The increase
. taxes in most cases will not
mount to as much money as would ]
e required to buy text books for one
upn.
These low levies are possible in
fountain Home because the district
quite wealthy as school districts {
0. The Mountain Home district I
as a valuation of over $3,334,0OO, I
lille Weiser which supports con-
derably larger school has q valua- 5
on of only about $2,OO0,0O0, and I
ampa which enrolls several times e
j many students as Mountain Home &
as a valuation of considerably less e
ian $5,000,000.
Surely if such schools as Cald-
ell, Nampa, Twin Falls and others +
ilGpgly vote a special tax of over
mills for schools it is because IL r
US to do so. Then, can Mountain i,
ONE afford to turn down a PROPOSE e
IN which will make her school as I,
.od as others along the line and II
hich will cost the taxpayers only f
If as much as in other districts?" o

LITTLE DAMAGE
DONE HALLOWEEN

Aside from the moving of several
out houses into the streets, cutting
a few clothes lines, little damage
was done by the Halloween pranks of
Mountain Home youngsters, al
though they were parading the
streets in threatening manner un-
til a late hour. After all of the old
er boys had retired a number of the
smaller boys got themselves some
tic-tacks and made life miserable for
those who were trying to enjoy a
few hours slumber.

SCIENCE PRODUCES
GOLD so THIN IT'S
. CLEAR AS GLASS
BY o. D. TOLISCHUS
Universal Service Staff Correspondent

Universal Service Staff Correspondent
BERLIN, Sept. 21.-The discovery
of process for the production of leaves
Of gold. steel and other metals so thin
that they arc as transparent as glass
is announced by DIR. Ray Mueller. o.
the National Technical Institute ut
Berlin. ..
The discovery is considered OF the
greatest importance to many indus
tries, and especially to the radio, tele-
phone and other sound reproducing
industries.
The finer the membrane, the clearer
and more natural the reproduced or
transmitted sound will be.
The metal leaves produced by DIR:
Mueller are less than one milliOnth OF
n millimctcr thick, or equal TO about
thirty atomic diameters. This means
that they closely approach the final
limit of thinness, the size of the indl-
vidual molecules Of which the metal Is
composed.
Scientists believe the new process
will open up a new world of sound
which because Of its dolicacy cannot
be heard by the human ear, but which
these thin membranes will catch, re-
cord. and then make audible TO the
oar itself

Champ Has Stood Seven
Years Of Strenuous
Title Play.
By VINCENT RICHARDS

FOREST HILLS. L. l., Sept. 21.-
Another singles championship has
passed into tennis history and still
William T. Tilden reigns supreme
By winning the tournament for the
sixth time he has created a record
equal to that of William A. Larned.
How long "Big Bill" can keep up his
winning streak is questionable. BE
has withstood the rigors Of seven
years of active tournament competi-
ton and it is no secret that this has
drained heavily upon his physical re-
sources. s.
Tilden has had an inland out season
this year. There have been times, in
some of the lesser championships,
when he has played mediocre tennis,
At st. Louis in the clay courts cham
pionship, George Lott, Of Chicago,
came in two points of taking his meas
ure. While on other occasions such
players as Howard Kinsey and Jean
Borotra have had him close to the
brink of defeat.
But Tilden always managed to rise
to great heights at the Opportune time.

'SLOVAMA' REPLACES
FOX TROT IN BERLIN
RxO. ID. TOLISCEUS.

Universal Service staff Correspondent.
BERLIN, Sept. 2E-Thc American
fox trot with its syncopatcd steps and
Raging melodies is thing of the past.
The future of the ballroom belongs to
the "Slovama." an entirely new dance
from the Slavic Fast, with new steps,
new rhythms and new melodies.
Such is the opinion Of the members
Of the Society Of German Dancing
Teachers, in whose art the East meets
West.
The "Slovama" is based on Slavic
folk dances and expresses the dual ma
ture Of the Slav. The first part con-
sists of several slow moving strains
of the Slav Of tragedy and pathoS.
The second Fart is whirlwind of
mad abandon danced to the riotous,
jubilant music of the Slavic ecstacy.
