Tie fa * I term of the Whit.tier High Selioo! will cominencc on September 2. This school has been established by the American Missionary Assockvir'on end offers opportunities for OfeilSuning [jBT education at merely nominal rates. The Principal of the school .is Rev. R. Humphrey and he is assisted in his work by Mrs. Humphrey, It sluouM he liberally patronized. The aggregate value of real and ? yrrsonal property in Jackson county ^ is assessed for taxation for the pres. "lit year is +1, 301,818 which is more I ?y $77,028 than for 18!U. If that is a tea? increase in tJie value of file |*rop_ ei'tv in the county, it is certainly Tratifving, but we imagine it would be difficult to prove Mint the increase is real. The actual va'fcie of property (?an only be determined by what i1 can l>e sold for. Mr. S. W. Rnsley brought to town this morning a real curiosity, being :i hicken with three legs. The thirfl leg :s attached apparently at the hip joint fo one of tihe other legs, and has a well 'developed fool which does not ??each the ground. Instead of any ad-r vantage to the chicken, it dangles he 'ween the other two legs, and 'i inter- 1 feres fo some extent with the use of | them. It is about half grown and is eeiiViinlv h curiosity. It is on ex'hihi 'ion at the store of McKee and Cowan CEMETERY BEUTIFICATION Those having friends and relatives; buried in l he Wood ring coix'tery, at Tuekaseigw will lncot ithere next Sat- j ui day, August 17, and clear off and decorate the eemctery .

Congress will atick around long enough to pass the new tax bill, but how muoh longer than that js anybody's guess. Your re iporter has yet to hear, of any 'Sena/tor or Representative who really likes the tax bill as reported oat by , tihe House Committee on Ways amd Means. It is a ease or going along with the President for the good of the Party. Even Mr. Roosevelt's nipst loyfif i supporters in the Administration havfc few kind words to say about the bift. Secretary of "the Treasury Morgen thau, who was quite outspoken last Winter on tihe necessity of increasing taxes if the Bonus Bill were adopted,' politely but linnly refused to malar any commenft whatever wihen the Com mittee asked him for his opinion. He didn't say yes and he didn't slay no! He stood pat on 'the perfectly sound tochuioal ground that it is solely the business of Congress to eixtct laws and the only job of the Secretary of the Treasury would be to collect the taxes under any law that they might? pass. J The tax levied under the new a (A wilf not be collectable until 1937, #nd aj good many things may happen in two years. A lot of things have happened in the past two years. It is a^out 50-50 whctiher anyjof tflie (ft her major measures on the Presi- 1 Rent's program will be adapted be fore adjournment. Administration | leaders' disappointed at .tihe refusal of the House to include the "death ?penalty" clause in the Uitility Holding Ccmupany l?iH, would just as^sooo tihut measure Lyr over Hon in Lhe liope jb?bi?lrf&g Bp public sentiment for i?L Tbenew Banking Bill, with the limitations upon the Government's control of the whole ^ banking and credit situation, which | were forced into it by Senator Carter | Glass, ".stands a good chlance of early enactment. Whether the Social Secu rities Bill will cotkie out of conference commtttitCe in a form acceptable to both Houses at this session seems a hii doubtful. ? The President has not yet appoint ed the new Laboi Relations Board provided for under the Wagner Irnhis tiial Disputes I^w, for the surprising reason so it is rumored, that he has not. been able to find <rood men willing to serve on it. It is understood here frliat he has invited t!ctti different men to take the job and each one of tiheiu has said "no thank you". Politically speaking, as Washington always s|)caks, the Administration forces ?re building great hopes for 1930 on the effect of Postlmasiter General Jim Parley's "swing around the circle.'' Mr. Parley as regarded here as possessing * peculiar kind of political magic. There are those who dmiht tliat he is as good a politician as the Fhvskicmt himself, and many who are certain tbfliti Col. McHenry Howe is still a bitter politician. Bult, Mr. Parley is CMaimtan of the Democratic National1 Committee, and those whW are in his confidence say thai* he is building his campaign for nfxt year on the belief that he ean line up the West and the South eoilid !y a'jain.Hit ihc East. Party leaders are beginning to ?on cede that the A nti- Administration movement in the States east of tihe Mississippi is gaining strength. But they are figuring that the President could lose the whole F>astern seabriard down to South Carolina, plus Michigan Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and the remaining states, if they ?ould aft be held in line would elect him. This combination of Wedfl and South has been the dream of almost every liberal Democratic candidate since Bryan. Mr. Bryan o'ame very '"??

The prc&chii^ will be done by the pastor, Rev. R. M. Hardee. Along with the revival, a Ookes bury training class wall be heH, at the day service. The class will be Itaught by a Duk? University strident. The entire community is invited. near to making it. Mr. Farley and his associates are confident they can mak< it in< 1936. Barring accidents, it seems quite possible to the modt experienced political oDservers in Washington. But nobody knows b?t>t<er tUftn> Mr. Roose velt himself that accidents do happen. The Farley plan would not permit dflne loss of even one dmportanft state, such as California. It is prettty early for political fore_ casts, with the election altifl 15 months ,away, but it is not too early for the |>oliticia?s to begin laying plans, and that they are doing most thoroughly. Final Efforts Mean Winning Of Big Prizes i TODAY and TOMORROW (By Frank Parker Stockbridge) FLYING .... safe and cheap An airpfyure flew low over Indian Mountain, just west of my farm, Ja*i Sunday, and landed in Joe Spring ?'troap's cow-pasture. No. it vasn'i a crash. Nobady was hurt. It was just a couple of "boys experiment in?.: with a home-made pfane, powered with a Ford engine. They hope to ge! ? Government aiutmct for cheap, sat. .planes. Two other J'oung invfi^loi* ha\< just baonght owt small "foolproof" pfaues, that ean ba sold lor $700 or +"800. One of them made 110 miles n.'< hour in a test flight. Experts say no body could crash either of these piano# if he tried. Safe, cheap flying is almost here. I think it promises to be as big an industry as automobiles. Half the adventurous boy# I know are ppding ii: far fljtfng.

They need 'em for their soldiers to keep them from get ting scurvy". "War", said my wife, when 1 told her that, " is what General Sherman said it was. No more lemon pie until \fusSolini and the Ethiopians get through fighting." War anywhere certainly touches everybody aomewhere. FARMERS sans character : Par a hnndred years and 'more tin old Hubbard farm, up near Long Pond hi cupported, educated and mad" j good eitizedi oat of generation after j generation of Hubbard's. A few years ago old Mr. Hubbard sold the jfosi4s . j I drove bv the other day and saw ,1.1 auction sale going on. The new owners were being "sold up'' to satisfy their creditors, :md the savings hank bad foreclosed the mortgag< on tlie , land. "Guess thev just ain't good farm- 1 ys", said Mr. Hubbard, when f | stopped hy his cottage down, the road to ask him how come. I dropped in at the hank. "Ko character" was the banker's haneh judgment. '.Thought they could make a living wfthout work iug and spend mmi^y before they earned it. Do von know any real flarm <er who'd like to get a good place ; place cheap? There's a banraii/ for .1 j uiian and wife with character ar.d ; litWe capital. ?t-V 110 place t hough for mfovie-bounds, joyriders or people th.*?l want short hours and Ion# vocations". I have a notion ti at a lot of the dis tress among fanners that we hear so much about, comes down to that. FABXS selling again I got reports from the Middle Wc^t of a revival of activity in farm land sales. Good farms in Nebraska have recently sold for from .1^100 to $150 an aero. One Sooth Dakar a farmer friend wrote that he has peen (rffend $150 an aere lor quarter invtion. An Iowa farnler whom I know tells me that he rofused $60,000 casff for his 600 acres, recently. Those prices do nOt compare with the speculative prices at whieh simi lar famr land changed hands in the boom days: They prohabfy repress* ?lore nearly the actual vaule of the land, in terms of earning capacity' | in the Hands of competent farmers. A great deal of <tlle farm distress Jia? ??ae from baying land at fancy or speculative prices. fflmm I* a it ftp sjl j The second vote period in the gi glgantic Jackson County Journal cam paign' ended Saturday at midn i?rh? , lowering the value of candidates' votes still lumber and tightening the race tor the winning of the Standard Chc\ - rolet, the Kelvinator, the Living Room Suite and the Atwater Kent Radio Wednesday afl midnight the thii I vwe period ends ami the value i>i' votes drops still lowvr, as the race rushes into its finish.
