Long ago there lived a priest named Valei tine. This good man was noted In all the coun try round for his kindness. He nursed the sick, comforted the sorrowing and was always ready to give help to anyone who was in need. Valen- tine dearly loved the children and those who went to him for food or clothes were never turned away. After this kind priest, became too old to g6 among his people he was very sad because he thought he could no longer he . of any help to thenj. Then he remembered that he could write - loving messages to the sick and sorrowing. Soon hia friends began to watch for the kind words th^t were sure to come whenever sorrow or joy entered their homes. Even little children would say, when they were sick, "I think Father Valen­ tine will send me a letter te-day." But after a time no more letters were re­ ceived and soon the news went abroad that good bid Valentine was dead. Then every one said that such a man was good enough to be called a saint and since then he has been known as St. Valentine. It was not long until people cele- brated his birthday by sending loVing messages to their friends. The notes and letters contain­ ing these messages were called valentines. This all happened years ago, but good St. Valentine JtUl remembered $q t^e Springfield.--Attorney General Stead has decided that the decision of the supreme court, holding to be consti­ tutional the amendment to the Juul tax law, will not be effective this year. Collectors will therefore proceed to collect the taxes as already extended and the reduction will come next year. ' Following a day of activity, in which heads of tax collecting bodies sought legal advice, the tax collectors asked for further instructions in their work, aw opinion from the attorney general was secured and the tax collectors were instructed to proceed with their work. • The talk of recalling the books to raake the reductions^ in compliance With the new decision, has been j abandoned. The reductions will not come until next year. An estimate on the reduction shows that a person against whom an assessment of $1,000 had been returned, would be entitled to a rebate of only 52 cents. The decision of the court causes a perplexing entanglement, which will be threshed out next year. The park tax, library tax and county tax, per­ haps would be the only items to suf­ fer by the reduction. The bond tax cannot be reduced, as the court holds that this obligation must be met. If the reduction should come, Sangamon county would be deprived of $57,000, which is the total reduction made in accordance with the decision of the court. In relation to this matter Assistant Attorney General Smith, who was in direct charge of the defense conducted in the supreme court by the attorney general's office in behalf of the state of Illinois, made the following, state­ ment: "The petition alleges that the act was invalid and it was the duty of the county clerk to extend all the taxes as certified. Judge Creighton held the act unconstitutional and granted the prayer of the petition and awarded the writ which commanded the clerk to extend the taxes according to the various amounts certified without re­ ducing them under the statute. That writ was issued and served before the appeal was perfected "and it wa# the duty of the clerk, in my judgment, un­ der that writ to extend the taxes ac­ cording to the mandate of the court. So far as the clerk is concerned he was, under the order of the court, re^ quired to extend the taxes according to that writ and he had no right to disregard it. ' "The books are now in the hands of the collectors and it is the duty of the collectors ±o collect the taxes as ex­ tended on the books so delivered to them by the county clerk. "The att o r ney. gen e ral expressed no opinion as to what rights or proceed­ ings, if any, the taxpayers might avail themselves of ih the premises." „ *• 'V'*" 1 w With tie introduction of manufactured tslr Amines the comics kept pace with the sentimen­ tal variety.

Noble IKing of Bloomington was Temoved from ^the presidency of the , Illinois stallion registration board. He was made ineligible even to -membership on the board when he was not elected to the office of president or secretary of the Horsebreeders' association, which met- in Urbana. Theodore M. Smith of Afcburn was elected King's successor. The law provides that the president and secretary of the Illinois Horse- breeders' association shall be mem­ bers of the stallion registration board. In view of the fact tMnt Mr. King was not named for either one of these of­ fices it became necessary in com­ pliance with the law to declare King not a member of the registration board, which amounted at the same time to his deposition from the presi­ dency. Once Rich; Dies at Poor Farm. Dr. Amos S. Watterman, former master of chancery of Lake county, the first county clerk of the county^ and the first county clerk to officiate as clerk of the board of supervisors after the county went into- township organization, died of old age at the county poor farm. He was 87 years old. At one time he, was wealthy and one of the most prominent residents of Waukegan. His final days were a pathetic picture, for, separated from hia wife, he was compelled to go to tjhe county farm to be cared for in his declining years, having no meana.to support himself. , .•.-*1--~ •. ti*>" 'i" 9*000*000 In Auto yantui^i ^ Approximately $9,0000,000 is repre­ sented in the capital stock,of Illinois corporations licensed in 1909 to carry on some business associated directly or Indirectly with the automobile. 4 search of the records of Secretary of State Rose's ofhee reveals a story of the varied incastries that have sprung into existence through the automobile.

At the next meeting of the acad­ emy, at Urbana, February 18 and 19, the relation of practical and'theoret­ ical science to each other will be dis­ cussed. The men who use the results of the theorists will tell cf their debt to theory and the men of pure science will recount their obligations to those who apply science. Many other inter­ esting addresses will be made. The academy has had a phenom­ enal growth. Among the list of mem­ bers are the most distinguished men of science in the state. Every teach­ er of science in the Btate should be­ long for his own advantage and for that of his students. He should make the acquaintance of his fellow work­ ers and gain inspiration from ti^.r atetivity.- Every man in any line of work which Involves some knowledge of science--the physician, the dentist, the chemist, the druggist, the engineer, the scientific farmer--should join.
