Notices have been rtceived
here from the Board of Apprais-
ers of school land under the new
law by practically all of the own-
ers who let their lands forfeit
for reduction re-appraising their
lands. The new price is fixed at
not less than $5 and some at as
fttQ high as $7 the former price rang-
i ing from $0 to $10 and some even
higher. This reduction is taken
by some as satisfactory yet it is
a disappointment to the most of
them as they expected it to be
re appraised at about $3 to $5.

to be planted not only for the

give some comfort to those who

all rival towns have combined to
that end. Mr. I'amey who has

The housewife who uses the Arcadian Malleable Non-
breakable Range can invariably obtain fine results as
the cooking done with it is more palatable and decided-

Many European countries are

Hear this man as he speaks
on this very important question.
There should be a greater in-

this community than there is.
Trees grow with very little at-

and cultivation to get the best
results.
There should be a greater f-
than ever before in Lub

around every home and piece of
property owned in the city. It
