FIGHT HIGHER TAX (. LEVY IN CIRCUIT COURT C. A. Smith Company Protests ItuKo of $1.8(1 Per Aciv On DougluN Timber Holding. ROSE11URG, Dec. 12.- Protesting against tho assessment Iovled on Jts timber lands In this county, tho C. A. Smith Timber Company, by John D. Goss, attorney, has filed nn op penl In tho Circuit Court from tho decision of tho Douglns County Hoard of Equalization, which denied IU petition for a reduction In tho valu ation for tho year 1010. Tho com pany owns 35.9CQ acres of timber In this county and on this thoro In a totnl assessed valuation of $4SS, 415. The avorago rato por aero of this valuation Is $1.SC higher than tho assessment in 1909. Appellant alleges that tho valuation of last year wus a fair one and should not -havo beon raised this year, becauso It contends, their foldings havo not -increased In valuo. . In denying tho petition from tho timber company for a lowor valua tion, tho Hoard of Equalization said that Its assessment was proportlon to with those placed on tho tlmbor5 holdings of other corporations. "Ah bltrary and unjust," nro tho tonus used by tho Smith Compnny In re ferring to tho assessment In Its appeal. It adds: "By ronson of llres and threaten ed Urcs and by reason of tho distrust in tho minds of tho public, cronted by disastrous flros tho past yoar, the valuo of timber lauds has, It any thing, decroasod."

You see I'm displaying the goods under the clear white rays of this wonderful new General Electric Mazda Lamp. It's really the equivalent of daylight, and that's why all up-to-date stores arc using it. Of course there arc also other vital reasons, one of which is this: the G-E Mazda Lamp gives twice the light of the ordinary car bon incandescent lamp and costs less to burn."

How tho Habit of Buying In One'a Home Town May Do Encouraged., Tho hcndllno uouudu peculiar, yet I thought It n (It one for tho subject 1 wish to discuss, The gcnprnl comment is that wo always se)l to satisfy. But do' wo? That Is n question 'that only tho customers can answer. As far as our own satisfaction is concerned, It is probably true, but that Is not as far as business nowadays extends. To pocket tho cents now nnd loso dollars after ward Is mighty poor policy. How mnny salespeople and I might say proprietors prldo themselves on merchandise they seo on their custom ers after they haro onco sold them? During tho tlmo of tho making of tho salo they uso every phrase found In tho vocabulary to tell of a garment's merits nnd suitableness to a particular customer, but onco tho customer bus bought and paid for tho gnrmcut no mora attention is paid her on her pur chase. Tho clerk may hnvo noticed that the color or tho Hues w'ero uot bctlttlug. but slnco tho customer showed an In clination toward that particular piece of merchandise tho clerk urged her on toward tho purchaso of It regardless of its becomlnguess. Such sales nro wrong. They retlect upon tho good taste and Judgment of n store. A Btoro should pride ttsclf upon Its capability of hnvlng tho best dressed cllontelo regardless of price, bo It high, medium or low priced garments, of any store-. In its vicinity. . , ' Just as anijjrejiltectjprjdea himself upon tho" results of a carefully planuikl and tastefully built house, so should tho business of j store bo planned and funowed out IJry Goods Reporter, Forming a Country Club. Every community should havo a country club. Moro Important perhaps Is tho fact that every community can have ono if there Is Just ono man to go ahead, work up enthusiasm and car ry out details. Almost every club In tho country owes Its oxlstenco to tho public spirited efforts of somo Indi vidual, Two or threo things seem reasonably certain to successfully start such an enterprise: Ono or two persons must do most of tho work, , Tho initial dues will prove to bo In sulllqlent nnd will Inter bo raised. When the success of the venture Is sure every ono will want to Join. If tho club survives tho first year of disappointment and complaints It will go on. A membership wnitlng list Is tho best asset of all, Dig Lesson From a Little Town. Tho Huston Transcript, noting that tho Democrats of tho town of Revere, Mass.. put forth a platform lu tho re cent campaign duly signed by tho chairman and secretnry of the party committee, calls attention to the fact that one of the planks pledged tho party to a "comprehensive scientific study of tho town for tho purpose of adopting a general plan for tho de velopment of the water, sower and uro systems aud tho streets of tho town." It says In comment; "If this were the gener,nl practice, if development did not depend so much on tho operations of 'cliques' nt town meetings, many a town would Ik better off than It Is to-day.
