Jack Raynlon
Heads Lyceunl

Jack Raymon, the famous au-
thority on reptiles and naturalist,
is to appear in Coulee City on
Tuesday at the high school audit
orium, according to announcement
by the Students association.
Nature has scattered variety
of more than two hundred species
of snakes throughout this country,
beautiful in patterns and designs,
and all of real value to mankind.
But of all these, only four are
poisonous snakes. They are the
rattlesnake, cottonmouth moccasin,
copperhead, and the coral snake.
This form of animal life is perhaps
the most misunderstood of the en-
tire animal kingdom.
Will Tell Their True Story
Jack Raymon is coming to tell
their story. Fifteen cages of diff
ferent live and attractive speci-
mems of the reptile family are to
be displayed. And to see him han
die these "pets" in an actual DEM
onstration that even snakes can
be domesticated, is proof that the
average persons knowledge of
herpetology has been greatly ne
elected.
To be entertained by this lover
of nature is indeed rare treat
for any group, either young or
old The manner in which he han
dies these live speciments of the
most deadly reptiles las his pets
is truly a most interesting sight.
Purpose is to Educate
The real purpose of the enter
tainment is to relieve his listeners
of wrong impressions toward these
useful reptiles.
The season tour OF 1928 will
carry this lecturer entertainer
through all of the west coast states
and he will appear before more
than five hundred colleges and
high schools, a tour totaling more
than 10000 miles. All Of which
proves the popularity with which
the story OF Reptiles OF North
America" has been accepted.
For many months, Mr.. Raymon
was heard over stations of the
National Broadcasting company.
His stories of reptiles and the
out-of-doors rank among the best
offered anywhere.

This Coulee City climate sure
is hard to beat! For instance, we
were given nice surprise one day
this week when our good friend G..
H. Walker presented us with a
box of fresh raspberries which he
picked in his garden.
MT. Walker stated that he ga
thered three boxes and still there
were raspberries to pick
The size and flavor of the ber-
ries was equal to any we've ever
tasted.

boom, If reports, coming from out
side are to be taken as a basis for
drawing such conclusion. With
the announcement this week of the
construction of fine, modern no.

ton has been given another boost
and the community is again keen
ly aware of the role it is to play
In the near future as focal point
in the Columbia Basin project con-
struction. 1t is H. w. Peck, Will
bur business man and ardent be-
lever In the towns future who is
drafting plans for the new, 2S-
room, two-story hostelry near this
city.
Mr. Peck's new building will
include a large messhall on the
main floor as we'll as other facili-
ties including barber shop. He
bases his confidence in this loca-
ton on the fact that all land In
the Immediate vicinity of the juno
ton, including all the area be-
teWeen the junction and Coulee
City proper has been taken UP and
only awaits the beginning of the
construction of the lower reservoir
dixie to build up in surprising
manner I'M. Peck has been quot
ed as saying, II know of quite a
number Of men who plan to start
building next year. have already
had an application for barber
shop in the hotel. MY guess Is
that It's going to be mighty good
there for about five years.
Start Building Next Spaing
Construction of the new hotel
will not proceed until the coming
spring, Mr.. Peck being in the
East, duriag the coming weeks.
Negotiations for the land. how
ever, are going forward. First re-
ports spoke of Mayor Frank Tier
ney as being partner in the en-
terprize but the Mayors participa-
ton is limited to enthusiastic NOR
al support, it seems.
The shortage C housing accom-
modations in Coulee City becomes
every day more and more evident.
Only as a new house is built now
and then is there opportunity for
now people to come In. There are
families here seeking better homes
than they are now able to find.
Probab bly, a dozen new houses here
in the city would not suffice to
take care of the immediate need
and what Is to be the situation a
little later when construction activ-
ity begins in this neighborhood ia
only to be guessed at. Several
families now residing in the neigh
borhood of the dam have investi-
gated the possibility of locating
here but have BEEN in the main
disappointed. 1t would seem that
the advantages Of residing In an
established town are sufficient to
more than compensate for the dai-
ly communication to and from the
damsite.
Losing Deserved Trade
If this situation exists now 1t Is
plain to be seen that the town Is
suffering decided loss at the
present time in business that very
rightfully belongs here, and many
people of the community are con-
sidering improvements of one sort
OF ano h er on property OF
this city. One or two business In
vestments of the sort planned by
Peck Is all that will be needed to
start the ball rolling, according tc
observers who are following the
real estate development.

A days schooling that will not
soon be forgotten was the lot of
about 80 of the local high school
scholars today when they motored
to Wenatrhee to witness the State
Theatres presentation of Shakes
peares comedy, Tanning of the
Shrew,' and on the return journey
stopped to inspect the hydraulic
and electrical wizardry of Rock Is

42-passenger school bus recently
acquired by the school district, the
high school was for the first year
enabled to participate in the pro
gram of the State Theatre, a pro-
ject whereby all the schools of the
state are given opportunity to see
famous plays put on by non-com-
mercial foundation, employing the
best of artistic talent and direction.

Taxes Take More
Money Than Food
Bills Is Claimed

WASHINGTON QPS) April g.
Pointing that everyone spends
more money paying taxes than buy
ing food, Representative Hartley of
New Jersey suggested in a recent
radio address that all goods benr
labels showing the amount of taxes
included in the retail sales price.
you pay more for taxes than you
do for food or rent, and twice as
much as you spend for clothing"
Hartley said. That's true, wheth' r
you pay an income tax and a real
estate tax or not. The earnings of
three months of your years work,
or about 25 cents out of every dol
lar you earn, is what you pay to be
governed.
There was a time when most Of
the revenue for government was
raised by the direct income tax,
which our people understood be-
cause they could see it and feel it.
But today our taxes are sugar-coat-
ed and hidden in various business
transactions, leaving most of us un-
conscious of the assessment.
THE trend in taxation has been
based apparently on the theory II at
when ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly
to be wise Taxation has become
the art of so picking the goose as
to secure the greatest amount of
feathers with the least amount Of
squawking.
u have seen several sales tax
bills defeated on the ground that
such a tax would be unfair to the
masses in the lower income brack-
cts. And yet today we have such
a tax on almost everything we buy,
necessities as well as luxuries, the
only difference being that it is u
hidden tax and hardly one in a
thousand realizes he's paid it.
Let's take look at some of these
taxes. You get out of bed in the
morning from between sheets taxed
at 4 cents pound. You go irto
the bathroom and turn on the
electric light taxed at 3 per cent OF
your bill. You brush your teeth
with a dentifrice taxed at 5 per
cent. The soap you used has a S
per cent tax on it.
Then you dress. On your hosiery,
shirt, shoes and clothes you paid
a tax of approximately 20 per cent.
On $35 suit, there is tax Of
$6.86.
"You sit down to eat, and once
again the tax collector is an ~
invited guest. There are So taxes
on bread, 38 taxes on meat, 80
taxes on canned food, As taxes on
sugar, 1-2 cents on quart Of
milk.
"You drive your car to work, and
| wonder il you realize you are
taxed 345 times. Yes, there are 27
taxes on the purchase of car, 1T
