This is the season when we
all want to be happy. Pleasure
is the thing we seek, various and
sundry attempts are made to |
onng joy ana guaness into our
own lives and into those about
us. The most infamous and ridiculous
of all these attempts is to
tank up on pop-skull liquor. For
each thrill of real happiness
brought bv alcohol - there are a
thousand pangs of sorrow. The
man who loves or respects his
wife, mother, sister, or sweet
heart should stop and consider
possible results of his Christmas
spree. Many a man would gladlv
give everything to be able to
start back at the beginning with
the experience he has bought so
dearly.
Then the God who made man
in His own image has an indisputable
right to the minds and

hand, which He cannot use
when filled with hellisn, soulkilling
liquors. You call it christ
mas, but work overtime in aiding
the devil to destroy your
manhood and your soul. Christ
mas, indeed! You utter the word
with a breath from hell. The
devil has you blindfolded and is
leading you straight to destruct
ion. He is also using you to pull
down the lives of ycur comrades
and associates. For the service
you are rendering you are to
reap a reward of sorrow and
endless woe.
Resolve now to be a man.

Representative Rivers states
that the people who are kicking
like steers at the high taxes,
should take time to look into the
tax levy and see just how much
tax they are paying and where
it goes. He cites Ruby, Mt.
Croghan and Pageland school
districts as examples of hightaxed
districts where half and
more of the total levy is for local
schools. By reference to the tax
notice in this paper it may be
seen that the ordinary state and
county tax is 14 1.-2 mills, which
as we all know is based on an
assessment of property at onethird
or less of its actual value.
In Ruby district the total school
levy is 17 1-2 mills, or 3 mills
more than the state and county.
In Mt. Croghan the levy is even
17 mills, and in Pageland 14
mills. This school tax comes
right back to the district in which
\ \
PAGEI
it is paid and is used by the I
schools right at the doors of the
persons who pay the tax
Mr. Rivers does not wish to be *understood
as opposing local
school tax, but on the other hand
he is highly in favor of it. He
just wants the people to under- ?
stand why taxes are higher than *
in the davs when there were no v
local school taxes. The people
have voted the tax, and should w
not blame the county officials
for acts of their own. q
Where is the man w ho would r,
cripple the school at either of
the above named places because
of the extra tax? Most of us, M
when we think aright, take
pride in the fact that we are S
Helping to run these schools and si
educate the boys and girls who
so quickly become men and women.
