It looks as though the C. P. would

a little local convenience. If they

be the same service given other days

effective.

The county board was in session
most of last week as a board of
equalization on Friday adjourning
the finish of its equalization business
till today, and putting the balance
of the week on general routine of
work of the supervisors. A generous,
almost unanimous and withal most
vigerous kick was registered against
the outrageous values placed upon
village properties, in many instances
almost doubling values, increasing
others from 25 to 75 per cent. In fact
so general w as the protest that we
understand a blanket reduction over
the whole village will be made by
the board, which even then will
not be sutficent to lower some proper
ties to any where near their right
values. However, the meeting of the
board of equalization is looked for
ward to as in some measure righting
a bad mess of assessing.
Mrs. n. m. Mat new ana Mrs. j.
Burleigh last evening entertained
the ladies of the Entre .'ous Club
and their husbands at a 6:30 dinner,
followed by an evening at cards at
the home of the latter. The event
and surprise of the evening was when
at a given signal the house was in
stantaneously flooded with electric
lights. ElectricanSweetland, who had
wired the house, having in the after
noon kindly taken his engine and
small dynamo to the editorial home
and getting it attached to the w iring
for the pleasant surprise, our electric
lighting system nop being ready to do
the business. The guests had finished
a part of the dinner and twilight was
deepening when the mellow light came
receiving generous welcome from all.
The electrican had done his work
well in the wiring and not a hitch
or hesitancy was forthcoming when he
started his dynamo on trial in the
afternoon, and the result is certainly
most complimentary to him and
shows he thouroughly understands
the work.

The Mew Homestead Law
The liberality of oar Government in
dealing with those who want to es
tablish homes upon the public land
is again shown by the new homestead
act passed on June nth and signed by
the President. Under this law entry
Linen can make proof in three years
| by showing an actual residence of 7
nohths each year: thus an entryman
an hereafter secure patent to his
land by 21 months' residence during
three years' time instead of the no
months' continued residence hereto
fore required.
This new iaw gives those who have
already lived upon their claims three
years an opportunity to offer proof
now andsequre patent to their home
reads.
There seems to have been more or
less friction the last two years lie
tween the school board and the grad
uating classes over the commence
ment expenses. For the past num
| ber of years it has been the custom
here and elsewhere over the state for
one of the parts of Commencement
days to be class plays, and to such an
extent has this been carried that
class studies have been more or less
seriously interfered with for a month
or two months of time. In the good
old days, Commencement meant that
the graduating class had to a greater
or less extent show their store of
knowledge and mental achievement
by preparing papers or addresses on
given subjects, while in these modern
days they are put to the test only of
their ability to provethemselves trag
edians. comedians or stock actors or
actresses, in which only ability along
histronic lines is given. To such an
extent has this gone, that there seems
inclined a sentiment to put a stop to
it and return to the days when the
graduate would make a showing of
his or her knowledge gained in the
school course. Our schools are not
' for the purpose of turning out actors
actresses, base or foot ball players,
etc., if we are correct in our judg
ment. but to tit them out mentally for
business and as intellectual men and
women. We understand the members
i of the board are personally against
' the present status of affairs and we
; trust they will come out flat-footed
i against class plays and other like
i foolishness, the proceeds of which the
i graduates seem inclined to use in
! purchasing gewgaws, bon bons, etc.,
| instead of devoting the proceeds to
i wards helping pay the expenses inci
dent to Commencement days, as
should be. Then there are other ex
penses attached to Commencement
days utterly out of reason. For in
stance, it has been the custom here
as well as elsewhere, .to have several
hundred commencement invitations
printed, sufficient in number for each
graduate to have from 50 to 100 to
mail out to their friends at the ex
pense of the school district, each in
vitation calling for a present to be
sent the sender as a return courtesy,
the recipient feeling in duty bound
by custom to do so. These invitations
cost upwards of 10 cents apiece, as
only the very best and costliest of
program stock will do for such an
important occasion. Out of these
invitations, the graduate receives
many beautiful and costly presents,
while the public pays the price of the
dainty invite. As the country is just
now passing through the throes of
‘•Reform,” politically and otherwise,
why not a little reform along the
’ above lines?
