on the subject, much doubt scents to
exist ns to the possibility of issuing
the road bonds and slil! not raising
county taxes over whai they haw
been in the past Instead of listening
to hearsay and gossip on the subject
the best way is to go to the court
house xvhere public records arc ip - -
slide to you that contain autlx-nlii
information. After you examine ilx-m1
and learn the truth as to the pn-t
talk to your county commissioners a-
to county levies in the future
The records xx-i 11 disclose that tin
total county lew for tie |,i t i lit
years has been a follows
In 1919 the total levy was 7.5 mills
In 1920 the total levy was 8.0 mills
In 1921 the total levy was 7.3 mills
In 1922 the total levy was 8.0 mills
In 1923 the total levy was 7.2 mills
In 1924 the total levy was 7.2 mills
In 1925 the total levy was -1.927 mills

mitfhly Yangtze river, China’s chief
trade artery, Is the dividing line be-

Every day sx*es some change in the

suffer reverses at some points and
push ahead at others. But the gen-
eral trend is northward, toward I’ek

Already the Cantonese have with-
drawn the nationalist government

cient and famed city of Wuchang,
which, xxitli Hankow and Hanyang,
makes up the "Wil liam" group of the
middle Yankize some 600 miles up-
river. Wuchang figured largely in
spiting the flame which consumed, in
its revolutionary heat, the Manchu
lynnsty and established the Cluing
iixxa Min (lau—the republic of China.
It combines its sentiment aspects with
i concrete trade and strategic import-
ance. (hereby carrying on the new
Cantonese tradition of an idealist-
business coalition.
