scene, which has as its backs
At her conference yesterday
morning, Mrs. Roosevelt had
much to tell of her recent visit
to Reedsville, with her son,
John, where she attended one
of the regular community
dances given by the homestead
ers and which she found most
enjoyable.
Square dances and Virginia
reels which bring young and
old together and go towards
increasing a camaraderie spirit
are INDUCED in, and a most
important part at these dances
is played by the one who
"calls out" the figures, and
which in this instance is
person of inherited talent along
this line. Also, the orchestra
is made up of members Of this
community.
Representatives of a demon
stration school for teachers in
New York, conducted by Lucy

Adolph Caspar Miller, h a p

Mrs. Roosevelt was there, and
they, like she, were interested
in the school work being car

white collar jobs, food
prices and several other abb
Sorbing subjects of the day
were discussed, also the COM
ing on Monday of the members
of the Fortnightly Club OF
New York, which meets to dis
cuss world events bi-weekly, and
which now is divided into two
groups, a senior and a junior
one. They will lunch at the
White House with Mrs. Roose-
welt, and then hold a discussion
on a subject to be chosen by
their board of governors.
At the sale of Waikiki
products at the Roosevelt resi-
dence in New York on Tuesday,
Mrs. Roosevelt will preside, and
in addition to furniture, there
will be woven work and pewter.
These last are something new,
as the looms and forge have
only become a part Of the
Waikiki scheme within the last
year.

The Death Of Mrs. Sirnonton

Easter Sunday was an ideal day in Nogales. Clear,
warm weather prevailed and it was delight to DC
misunderstanding to church working in the gard
Ell. .
But the beauty of the day-each year the day. S1 OF
all days in reigion--was marred by word that Mrs
William G. Simonton had passed away.
The death Of this beloved woman-7taken IN the
prime of life--brought sorrow to many homes IN NO
gales, where she grew up.
She ran the journey Of her life in forty-seven1
years 1t is path marked with deeds of kindness and
cheer Flowers not thorns sunshine, not shadow, dd
she scatter everywhere. With these she was lavish
Truth was the inspiration Of her life and by kindness
she exemplified its great worth Her home INSTINCTS
were strong here in this world and her affection Tor
friends and kindred was tender and abiding.
Among us all she ranked always as a woman OF
culture, refinement sympathy. A kind neighbor de-
voted mother and true friend, and withal woman
of heroic mould in bravely meeting the stone require
ments and often the disappointments of life.
The sympathy of the entire community goes out
to the family in their hour of bereayementa bereaye ,

Now Is The Time To Inuest Here

Much has been said recently about the hlgh TAX
rate here.
And in harping on the tax rate Nogales and San
ia Cruz county have been hurt Folks have been LED to
believe the rate is so exorbitant that should
buy property or build The tax rate is confscatory
they say.
1t is true the rate is somewhat high but IT Is
OFFSET BY A DECREASED ASSESSED VALUA-
TION
If any taxpayer will take the time to look at his
her tax bill it will be found that taxpayers in this
city and county are NOT paying much more than
what they did when the rate was lower
IF taxes were being paid on valuations that pre-
vailed here prior to the depression then there might
be real reason for howl.
The governing bodies Of this city, county, and
school districts trying their level best to cut ex~
penses, in fact, right they cut to the bone,
economy prevails everywhere in the various offices,
and the socalled high rate is fault of any certain
individual or individuals.
AS We have said before the rate may be high but
the assessed valuation is lower One offsets the other
TO great extent.
II you have funds to invest in property in No.
gales NOW IS THE TIME TO DO IT. Property is be-
ing offered at lower figure than ever before 1t will
soon start soaring and you will make money by buy
