REIMBURSEMENT
Our Representatives, Miller and
Olson. have introduced q memoir
ial to congress that would pro-
vide for reimbursement to local
governmental divisions for loss
Of taxes due to withdrawal Of
property from tax rolls for gov
eminent purposes. This one comes
right home to us and deals with
q very pertinent local problem.
Not only has property been lost
to local taxation due to Acc ac-
tivities, but the question win re-
curr when more land will be re-
quired in connection with the
construction of McNary dam.
There is q lot to be said on the
subject, but there is no question
that city and county governments
suffer serious handicaps for this
reason. The memorial viii be
watched with interest. ri.
WAY BACK -
The 1902'rs are still coming to
the front as the discussion con-
tinues as to the oldest subscribers
to the Courier-Reporter. Dutch
Staley reminds us that he came
here with his family in 1902 and
they nave been subscribers all
the time. Also 1902 arrivals and
subscribers were Carl Williams
and r. E. Larkin. Catch Is that
the Courier didn't come to Ken

formerly been published in Walla

FARISH STREE oAA OpOAl
NIGHT: / was sitting down quite
ly partaking of my Saturday
nights repast but forced to listen
10 a conversation about some Sis
ter out on West Lynch Street
whose firmness in the faith had
led her to believe that her money
placed in the Bible and put under
the bed mattress would come out
double. or was she as one brother
said so sure that the Lord had at
last decided to answer her prayer
that He was now ready to fix it so
she could get something for moth
ing. l had been long wondering
what it was that made folks such
easy victims to PIGEON DROP
PERS, and other confidence games
until l thought of the story about
one of Aunt Haggar's Chillun's
setting under the tree praying for
the Lord to send him an possum
when along come brother bear,
story which emphasizes the fact
that us folks are generally around
. looking for something for nothing.
Now of course in this matter of
putting the money between the
bed mattresses after it has been
prayed over and blessed and then
looking for it to come out double
it is a question of faith in the
Lord, but of a kind that amt new
er resulted in nothing but the
faithful waking up and finding
that the money put between the
bed mattresses had not only re-
fused to double itself but had de-
multiplied into completely moth
ing and vanished. Now I know
. that the Good Book says that
even with the faith of the size of
mustard seed Cor something like
] that the blessed of the Lord can
move mountains And | wouldn't
be one to counsel Aunt Haggar's
Chilluns, especially those among
the faithful to let go of their faith
in the face Of what always Hap
pens when the FORTUNE TELL
Err, or some other SLICKER come

curing about how much money
you got in the bank or hidden in
8the tomato can or fruit jar under
s meath the back gallery or in some
ozark corner in the old clothes
Scloset in the last part of the house.
Put what l will say is that amt
the kind of faith that the Lord
was talking about when he Was
talking about the mustard seed.
and If ever one of the FORTUNE

He found an alarm clock and
set it. At seven the next morning,
he faced Sam Hannaford.
"Of course you II keep the option

Sans blue eyes were probing.

Bill liked the place 50 much that
he could not look at it. He held

Charlotte was waiting for him,
her bags already on the veranda
step. Not even the children were
awake.
They were both silent. driving
through the Sunday morning quiet.
Bill looked gently down at Char
lotte, at her soft hair blowing, and
the tender curve of her cheek.

ments for you, soon," he said, and
she smiled.
The city was half asleep, when
they reached it. Their own block
was deserted, windows yawning,
shades still drawn. Bill carried
their suitcases to the elevator and
pressed the button.

and then may l come and talk

HE OPENED the windows in his
living room, and the sound of
church bells rang out over the roof
tops. For a moment, he listened to
them, smiling family. He was glad
that it was Sunday morning and
not Saturday night when he would
ask Charlotte to marry him. He
turned quickly and hurried across
the hall.
The door of her apartment was
open wide. Charlotte was kneeling
on the floor beside the couch,
where Aladdin's smoky gray form
lay. Now and then a little piteous
NEW came from him. Charlotte
looked up at Bill.

She stroked the gray fur thought

him. Il know just the place in the

Her eyes widened. "You don't

laughed. just a little. "Oh-Willy,"

and lifted her to her feet, led her
across the room away from the
couch. Charlotte, would you con-
slider a husband named Willy?"
Its a very nice name." she
said, and kissed him.
Bill closed his eyes for a second.
His mind was turning over like a
racing engine. Charlotte had not
seen the Hannaford farm. They
would take Aladdin out there,
where he'd mend like a shot and
be happy. Sam would sell them a
small piece of land.
For a few years, they could 60

He looked at Charlotte, too. You
weren't bitten"
NO" she agreed.
''Are my little displaced persons

"Oh - don't" said Charlotte.
After dinner that evening, she
said, ':Bill. I'm sorry, but l want
to go home in the morning. can

Don't be silly" he said. 'Ill

She looked unhappy. Maybe I'm

added. Maybe l miss the good

He laughed, and pulled her into
his arms. You're a funny GIRL"
he said. He kissed her. Are you
my girl?"
"Oh, Bill, l don't know" she
answered. ...
lHEY had walked away from the
house, past the tennis court to a
small artificial woodland, COM
plete with a man-made brook. The
starlight was soft, and Charlotte
looked both lovely and troubled,
standing close to him, her eyes
very bright.

Kings" she said, but l just can't
take it. Those pathetic kids have
got me down, too. Little displaced
persons. Alex called them" She
shuddered, and abruptly pressed
her face against his chest.
Darling" said Bill. He tipped
up her face and looked down at
her. She seemed defenseless and
less sure of herself than he had
ever seen her. Not the career girl
at all. II love you," he told her.
She shook her head and started
walking back toward the house.
I'm sorry, Bill" she added, over
her shoulder. Il seem to be awfully
jittery tonight. It's probably the

well 60 back to the city," he
promised.
They would 60 back to the city,
and he would give up this pipe
dream of being a farmer. Perhaps
he had known all along that it was
a pipe-dream. The Bill Rodman
who was in love with Charlotte
was not the Willy who could revert

long hours of farm life. Bill Rod

This is the time when we all
need a little pickup In suggestions
for Christmas gifts. At this time
each year I list few items which
make women happy!
The cosmetic world provides a
wide range Of delightful selec-
tions which are beautifully and
imaginatively wrapped. You can't
60 wrong with perfume or cos
metics if you choose thought
fully. OF course, if you give a
cosmetic kit of matching lipstick,
rouge and nail polish, you should
be certain that the colors are
right for the person to whom you
give them. These can be ex-
changed, but it seems thoughtless
to give a brunette products which
were planned for a blond.
There are some perfectly mar
velous new fragrances in French
perfumes. The range in perfume
selection is great. Select perfume
or toilet water or cologne with
care. Some smell like medicine,
while others are "out Of this
world" Truly lovely bath pow
ders are always acceptable, and
those little bath powder mitts
which come in lovely cases are
wonderful for travelling.
You can put one of these mitts,
a folding toothbrush and q
nightie in one of today's gen.
erous-sized pocketbooks. add cold
cream in a small tube, a tiny case
with mascara and brush, and a
good compact. and you can go to
spend the night without even q
weekend suitcase to bother with
You can get two-ounce bottles
Of three famous scents. attractively
packaged for a moderate price.
One cosmetician has an exquisite
white wooden box which contains
four ounce bottles of two lovely
scents, and when you take the top
of it plays a little tune. There is
also the cutest Santa Claus you
ever saw, but his legs are made
of bottles containing perfume
which will send you. There are
perfumes packaged as gingerbread
men. too, which will delight young
and old.
Remember, the world of sports,
books and lingerie, offer many op-
portunities in the gift line. One
house at least has a plastic bottle
with wonderfully scented bath
powder. You squeeze the bottle and
spray yourself with misty powder.
Bath salts and bath capsules are
attractively packaged.
There Is also little roller on
which you can write addresses or
notes. This works like some tape
measures you have seen. You pull
the paper out and press button
and 1t snaps back. There is one
gold cylinder which contains ball
point pen and a lipstick. There
are attractive stocking hangers
which you clip up after washing
your hose and then take down
when the stockings are dry.
I wish you luck and hope there
is still a big selection for your
last-minute shopping. Also re-
