Third street, between Main and Lincoln, was blocked off and col ored lights were strung from the chamber of commerce across to the Odd Fellows’ building. People wero packed in solidly for half a block while the gifts from the various business institutions were being presented. The radio street dance followed until a late hour and many took advantage of the opportunity to trip the light fan tastic to the tunes of a radio furnished by K. A. Price. Sentiment is strongly in favor of making the evont semi-annual, with spring nnd fall openings.

What local business men had to ■ay about the spring opening: K. A.

He expressed the opinion that more advancement was made in major legislation in the past term than in any previous session. A 25 per cent taxation decrease on all realty holdings will result from a raise of $350,000,000 in crease in present taxation base of $1,170,000,000 as provided by the legislature, in the opinion of the banker senator. The conten tion that increasing the base will raise taxes is absolutely erron eous, according to the senator, who said that the six per cent limitation prohibited such an in crease.
