Jl Parasols are unusual even in their construction, and among the most unique are those with such extraordinarily long handles that the thoughtful makers have marked the spot for the hand by arranging there a piece of silk shirred into a ball, a bell or tassel shape.

Flowers were the first Japanese effects worked Into the silk material for covers, then a few birds and butterflies fluttered into the parasol world, and then a dragon crawled in; actual Japanese figures followed, until finally a whole scene has appeared on one cover, including a jinriksha.

ASSESSORS FIND ONE HONEST MAN A Young Newly-wed Lists His Household Goods at The Market Value. ASSESSMENT IS FINISHED COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MET THI8 MORNING AND ALLOWED THE CLAIMS OF THE VARIOUS TOWNSHIP TAX MEN. It costs Wayne township approximately t-l.eoo to take the assessment of personal property and list dogs. The other thirteen townships of the county pay but $3,400 for this same work. The county commissioners met this morning and allowed the claims of the assessors, which totaled about $5,000. The county is footing the expense at present but eventually the townships pay their own bills. The money is raised by a special fund, so that the county is not out anything. The work of taking the assessment was completed last week. The assessors have made their returns and the books are being turned over to the county auditor. It will be but a short time until the force at the auditor's office begins Its annual routine on the duplicate. As soon as all the assessment sheets are compiled and' arranged in alphabetical order, they will be sent to the printer for binding. The bound Volumes will be kept in the auditor's office this year. Honest Youna Man. Many interesting things are shown by the returns. A young man who has been married but a short time, listed his household furniture at the value of the original purchase price. This young man is , dependent upon nis weekly pay envelope. ' Another man who is worth approximately a quarter of a million dollars, gave in tne total value of all his property, money on hands, ' stocks, bonds, etc., as $3,000. He did not list himself as a voter, claiming non-residence. The tax dodger was in evidence wherever the assessors went. It was seldom that absolute misrepresentation was attempted, but evasion was a thing of common practice. Township Assessor Potter Is just now enloving a period of ; relaxation since the strenuous days are over. He bas opportunity now to boost baseball games, run automobiles and testify In divorce cases.
