The public is cordially invited to attend. - R. M. BOWERS, Sec. City Lighting Opposed Although gas illumination was known many years before the first street Illumination, the improvement was opposed on the ground that such a practice would be blasphemous, God having divinely divided light and darkness, and also that people would be induced to stay out at night and catch cold and fall prey to robbers. No True Perfection Perfection does not exist. To flnderstand it Is the triumph of human Intelligence; to desire to possess It Is* the most dangerous kind of madness. --Alfred de Musset Seeing Animals "ut Home" The best time to see animals in the woods or mountains is ti'uout sundown or early morning, as during the heat of the day they usually seek shelter.

Cannot Be Overestimated A talkative man is seldom overestimated ; a silent man often is.--Henry Ward Beecher* Mexican Indians Inferiaar Physical measurements show that Indians of Mexico are, on the average, shorter than Indians of the United States. Mexico City.--The first place touched by the Spanish "conquistadores" on their way to the American mainland to explore the New world, was an island in the Caribbean, off Quintana Roo, the Inaccessible Jungle territory of tropical Mexico. This Island, called "Isla Mujeres," or "Women's Island," today is a sunny strip of coconut palms along a beach of silver sand. It Is a perfect setting for a treasure island, with Its many natural caves. When the Spanish conquerors landed at Isla Mujeres they found the remains of a Maya temple where female Idols were worshipped. Here they set up the first cross In the New world, upon the remains of the temple. These ruins have been washed away for years. On Isla Mujeres there ts an ambitious little school, attended by about eighty of the Island's 350 inhabitants. The school has three teachers. Like most Mexican rural schools, this one has a garden. In the garden pink* white,, yellow and blue sea'shells are used by the children to mark off the patches of lettuce and beans. The school also maintains an outdoor theater, where children recite poems, execute their native dances and sing. The inhabitants of Isla Mujeres are cordial and hospitable to visitors. Among the island dwellers Is an old man, who Is always pleased to welcome strangers, and Invariably finds an opportunity to tell them proudly about his 43 children who liye in Payo Obispo, across the water on the mainland. Once a month a ship touches the island, coming from Progreso, In Yucatan. Recently thi^ ship left a radio sending and receiving set in the island, but so far not much has been accomplished in the way of establishing communication with the outside wOrld. Thefe is no post office on the lsJaijd, and no telegraph service. Taxless Town May Lose Incorporation Status San Joaquin, Calif.--This municipality, the San Joaquin valley's only taxless city, finds that being free of taxation Is not what it's cracked up to be and may return to the status of an unincorporated town. Sentiment to that end has been lii the process of crystallization for some time and now a definite move is under way sponsored by the chamber of commerce. It is declared that dissolution of the municipal corporatiori will bring added benefits to the citizens through the county board of supervisors, while a city that levies no taxes can do nothing for its population. By Increasing the county tax levy fractionally, police and fire protection and street Improvements could be made by the supervisors, whereas such advantages, when provided by the city, would necessitate a substantial levy of taxes, proponents of the dissolution assert.

Sled Dog Survives 4 Months in Far North ; Ottawa, Can.--^To find a sled dog ln~the vastness of the Barren Lands after losing him more than four months before, was one of the experiences of Warden A.
