The editor told me to get an inter-
view with Peter Pen" he then said
DO you suppose there's any chance of
my seeing him?"
Well, 1 don't know" replied Mr..
Nichols obviously. But suppose tap
on the ink bottle and see If by any
chance he's in there"
With that the artist knocked gently

So the young reporter hastily got out
his camera and took the picture that

away again, Peter Pen jumped up on

For a long time national botanical
matters have been delayed by the indie

the garden. It was thought for while
that a place at Mount Hamilton would
offer the best advantages. Mr. Hess

garden so far out of the city at spot

logic finally won. The place over which

Aside from the PRIME purpose of en-
toying an afternoon in the out-of doors,
YOU should have some definite purpose
in mind when hiking. There are so
many good reasons and objects that you
should have no trouble in making your
own selections. Yet, If you wish, you
can choose a different subject each
time. This WILL in itself, be a con-
densed education and lot of fun.
For instance, one hike can be made
solely to obtain good pictures. For that
matter, you can protitably carry your
camera every time.
A hike made on the first day OF May
can be used to see how many flowers
are in bloom on that date; ANY sum
mer day hike can be used to see how
many different kinds of trees and
shrubs grow In your vicinity
When the birds have arrived you
can take your bird book along and learn

present.

of value Is applied so that the value of all buildings is reached by a uniform method.
 A complete appraisal of the tax able property includes an appraisal of factory buildings, machinery. in- ventories of goods in factories and in stores.
 The correct principal of taxation is that every dollar of taxable value within the town should bear an equal share of the expenses inciden- tai to the towns management. The purpose of revaluation. as out lined above, is to effect that equal ity. In most towns enough property has been found that has not pre- viously been included on the grand list, to pay for the entire cost of re- valuation.
