elapsed on November IL. 1881. since the

taken all of this time to build up the

POPULAR LOCAL YOUNG
 MANS BIRTHDAY IS \
 S|GNAL IF B|G PARTY

When Guy Manthey's 23rd birth day arrived yesterday, he found that about 30 friends and relatives had gathered to help him cele- brate at the Mcconnell home at Mile 5h2.
 Shortly after o'clock, when the last car had deposited it's load of merrymakers, the fun began with a few dances to music furnished by two SaxophoneS, violin, drums and piano. Original and novel games of all kinds in which every one participated, were interspersed with dances throughout the eve ming and prizes were awarded to those winning places of honor in the contests.
 Not the least among the eve- ning's events was the big moment when the guest-of-honor, Guy Manthey, opened the many mys- terious packages and gifts which were presented in honor of his birthday.
 Delicious homemade cakes, sal ads. ice cream and coffee were served to the guests when the long evenings entertainment began to whet their appetites and then dancing followed until the lateness of the hour proclaimed it time to discontinue the merry-making.
 The host and hostesseS did their utmost to insure an evening of ex- eeptionally good times for everyone present and so we'll did they sue ceed that time passed altogether too quickly. AS the guests turned home-ward bound, many silent hopes were made that Guy would celebrate his birthdays more often.

Reveal Tax Grievances

In its campaign to tighten the
burden Of taxation on real estate,
Tie National Association of Real
Estate Boards delved into records
Gf the Fifth century to show that
omplaints against taxes are not
new, and that in that far distant
time one ruler listened synpathet-
;cally 10 such pleas.
The National Realty board re
ports that Pisisratus. son Of Hip
poerates, ruler Of Athens in the
last part Of the Fifth century, be
iieved in encouraging farm life and
undertook many measures to Keep
his people out of the cities, even
advancing money to the poorer peo-
!le TO help them make their living
from agricultural pursuits, but he
did tax them One-tenth Of what they
produced.
The story goes that Pisistratus,
following his policy of trying to
keep tile farmers even from visit
ing the cities for necessary pur-
poses, Instituted local courts and
sailed forth himself into the ru-
raj sections to settle disputes.
During these trips the ruler in
spected the countryside carefully,
and one day he saw man named
Hymettus cultivating the spot that
was afterward called "The Tax
Free Farm" Hymettus was work
ing hard in the hot sun, and Pisi-
stratus sent an attendant to ask
the worker what he got out of his
plot of land.
'Aches and palms," stormed the
farmer. not knowing that the ruler
was near, "and that's what Pisis-
tratus should have for his taxes"
and Pisistratus was SO impressed
that he granted Hymettus exemp-
tion from all taxes.
