Comprehensive Tabulation of Comparative Average Valuations of Property By Townships and Corporations.

The Board of Review has completed its work for this year. Many cases were heard, some assessments raised and some lowered. The Board was composed of County Assessor John Reeves, County Auditor Lawrence Wood, County Treasurer Allen F. Cooper, C. N. Warren, of Vernon township, and Thomas Seamon, of Center, the last two being appointed by the Judge of the Circuit Court.

The State Board of Tax Commissioners asked that a comparison be made of the assessment of notes, mortgages, money, goods and merchandise, bonds and building and loan stock for the years of 1912 and 1913:

Notes & Mgs..$1,095,000 $1,224,795 Money 456,735 347,010 Bdg. & L. Stk. 5,630 5,635 Taxable Bonds 5,050 6,940 Goods & Mds.. 251,050 223,350

The cause for the large difference in the two years in the money item is that in 1912 the assessment was made at its full valuation, while this year the rule was to as

Farm Imp.

165 $38

193 $55

sess at 75 per cent, of the full valuation. The rate of assessment was raised five per cent, in Brown and Buck Creek townships, and ten per cent, in Green township. The rate elsewhere remains the same.

The following table shows the number of the several items in each township, and the' average value of each item. The first figure shows the number, the second the average value. For instance, the number of'families in Blue River township owning agricultural implements is 165, and th§ average assessed value of each man's tools is $38.

The assessment against each of the seven Hancock county banks is also herein given. Each bank was assessed at 75 per cent, of its capital stock, to which was added its surplus funds, and undivided profits. This assessment does not include the real estate each owns:

Greenfield Banking Co $44,300 Capital State Bank 42,080 Citizens' Bank 38,590 Fortville State Bank 22,710 Farmers' National .Bank of

Wilkinson 22,250 First National Bank of Fortville 19,110 New Palestine Bank 10,290

The board is to be commended for its excellent work and for the thoroughness with which the members inspected all the reports, and for the several omissions they were able to find, thereby saving quite a sum for the county.

When the financial failure of Felt & Binford occurred, in a settlement with their creditors, a trustee was appointed to take over the property and to pay the creditors what per cent, the property would pay.

A Wee Bit View

A Story For Memorial Day

##*T'S

Sbe replied cheerfully: "A matter of forty years and more, dearie. I took cold soon after the war, wben my last laddie cam* borne to die, and 1 never got over it. But I don't suffer so very much, and I take great pleasure in my boose and my fren's and my bonny wee bit view."

Mrs. MacGregor smiled. Sbe was a higblander from Inverness, a large framed, stately woman with black eyes and coal black hair, and always sbe wore a cap with large frills and a band of black ribbon—the sort of cap

"THANK YOU, MY DARLING."

ber countrywomen call a mutch. On her neck was folded a white handkerchief, and her rusty black dress bung in straight folds. She had very little to live on, but people helped her deli cately. and sbe had only one fear in the world, that of living to be "a burden" and of dying without leaving enough to bury her decently beside the laddies who lay—six stalwart sons they had been—asleep in the cemetery Three of them had died in the war one had survived it and died when the peace summer spread its aureoles of beauty over the rejoicing land. Two had since succumbed to disease. The old mother had seen them laid one by one in" the plot, which was the only real estate to which she possessed a title deed. One would have expected ber to be gloomy, but no! Aunty Mac Gregor was as bright as a May morn ing.

Just then there came a tap at the door. A tall young man stood there with a helpless look on bis face and iri his hand a shirt which had met with an accident in the wash. "The button is off the neckband, aunty," be exclaimed piteously, no) noticing' me. "Give it here, lad." said aunty, "and hand me my basket from the janreau I'll put it right for you in a minute." "I don't know what I'd do if it wasn't for you, aunty," said the youth "All's well with you, Johnny, 1 hope.' said the old lady as she returned the quickly renovated garment. "Yes, aunty, thank you," said the boy as he departed with the shirt over his arm. "Aunty MacGregor," said a little girl, putting her head in at the door "mamma wants to know how muck ipecac and squills she must give Bob by. He's threatened with the croup."

The requisite dose was mentioned and the child flew back to her apartment to tell her mother. Aunty's judgment. 1 found, was relied on implicitly by ber neighbors in such eirier genc-ies as illness or burns or bruises

While I sat with her five different people came in on ns many errandt ami not one was sent away.

To eju'li were given in turn aid. covin sel and comfort. As 1 was ready ti take my leave up to the humble doo drove a fine equipage, a coachman ii livery, two splendid thoroughlireo horses—such a carriage as the mi! lionaire's daughter drives about in Out sprang the child of wealth am luxury, a beautiful golden haired gir! dressed in the height of fashion, lie hands full of violets and lilies of tlv valley. Aunty MacGregor introduce:' her young friend with pardonably pride. "Miss Ruth MacLean—ye'll ken he' feyther, na doot. She's aye ready t' do some sweet thing for the like me!"

only a wee bit view 1 ha'e,

I but It's a bonny one," said my J, old Scotch friend cheerfully. She sat beside ber window in her big cushioned chair, ber crutches within easy reach, for sbe was very lame and bobsled about ber four little rooms with great difficulty. 1 went to the window and looked out. 1 saw the corner of a street and saw coming around the bend a little procession of childreD playing soldiers. Tbey had flags and a drum, and their voices sounded pleasantly as tbey marched by. "Aunty," I inquired, "bow long have you been lame and unable to go about?"

claimed the girl, "when I'm not fit to tie your shoes, you're so patient and 1 BO flighty and so easily vexed. Don't speak that way, please. I came to bring you these flowers and to tell you that tomorrow will be Memorial day. Ah, you knew it, dear heart! And I'm going to the cemetery to decorate your plot I'll come first and show you the wreaths and the baskets, and you shall tell me first what to do with each and where to put them. I'll do it exactly as you'd do it for your own self if you could go." "Thank you, my darling," said Aunty MacGregor, with a catch in bei" voice. "The Lord blegB thee and keep thee. The Lord reward thee for thy goodness. The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee and give tbee peace." "Aunty," said the girl, pausing at the door and returning, "you haven't asked me to sing for you and for this lady, but I'm going to do it nevertheless. "The day may be long and late, love,

But the evening time draws on. There is rest for the worn and weary And love for the lonely one.

"And the Father's house is waiting. Its doors will wide unfold For the pilgrim who comes with a timid knock

To the beautiful gates of gold." She sang like a bird, and then with a swift, birdlike motion she was away. "Puir lassie!" said Auntie MacGregor, standing by the aid of her crutches for the wee bit of view of her favorite, which the window afforded. "She has her ain troubled—a stepmitber and a fause lover—but she'll win through. And, aye, I tell her that she mauna marry any man sbe canna luve with all her heart and that the right man'll surely come." "Is sbe in love, aunty?" I asked. "I am not permitted to say," replied aunty, with reserve, "but from what I've seen I think she'll be happy yet the winsome maiden that sbe is. Bless ber, she'll not let my brave laddies miss the flowers on Memorial day. It's a joy to me, they lying there asleep, with their work all done, that when a May time comes the kind hand o* friendship strews the cover lid above them with the fairest flowers. 'They do rest from their labors.'"

I left Aunty MacGregor, feeling that much of heaven was compressed into the "wee bit view" which was all she would in this life have from, her window. After all, it is the spirit we bring to our daily experiences which makes earthly life blessed or baneful. Memorial day with its flowers may come oftener than once a year to those brave soldiers of either sex of whom It shall one day be said, "They have fought the good fight tbey have finished their course henceforth there is laid up for them a crown of glory that fadetb not away."—Margaret E. Sangster in Christian Herald.
