I’. B. Williford are n.aring the end of their labors. At least the wcrk of the board has advanced to a point where the body is prepared to meet taxpayers whose assessmca’.s lave been raised in an effort to adjust these assessments without the necessity of arbitration. The first of a serie of hearings, upon complaints filed by taxpaj-| ers who object to increased valua tions will be held Monday at.er noon between the hours of 3 and 5. At this time taxpayers who have been notified of change- in their assessments will be heard and ’t is expected that in most of these cases adjustment of diliercnccs will be reached easily. It has been the policy of the board, it is stated, since beginning their work to avoid increasing valuations as compared with those upon the same property as returned last year. A substantial loss in taxable values here has been discovered by the assessors through the removal of a large fertilizer manufacturing plant which will reduce the taxable property lure by approximately ' 15,000, it becam e known today. 1..A8Y STAR WINS HEARTS OF ALL AT LYRIC THEATER Critics and public alike have been asking who the clever kiddie is that I It ys such a big part in “The Chec i ahcos ’ the Alaskan motion pictui ■ which i., now showing at the Rylan <l r theater.

Ranew an nounce the birth of a son July 18th who has been given the name of Richard Ausborn. JVhen grandfather ~ was a little boy Every fall there would come a day when his moth er would say to his father, John, it s time to see about the children’s shoes.” s Shoes were matters to reckon with in great-grand father’s family. As in many other families of the countryside, calves had to be killed and skinned. The skins were taken to a tannery across the river, and in due time young John would set off with the leather to the cobbler to have his measure t a ken. / Old Sam, the cobbler, was a friend of thfe family. They knew him. They knew his work. They knew the quality of the leather they had furnished him. They could have estimated pretty accurate ly the time young John’s shoes would wear him. / Those days are gone forever. No longer do you * know personally the makers of your shoes. Your clothing, yur food, your furniture, your household utilities are produced by men and women you nev er will see. That element of confidence, however, which in former days came from personal contact of neigh bor with neighbor and friend with friend is still present. Nowadays, advertising is the bond between manu facturer and consumer; between merchant ’ and t patron. ‘ . - Through advertising, maker and dealer build with i you their reputations. 1 • . \ Through advertising, they make a bid for ' your friendship. • To them, your friendship is essential, and to assure it, they see to it that their goods are as adver i- tised. ' ' : ■ By reading advertisements, you kndw where and what you can buy with confidence. By reading the advertisements in The Times-Re corder you know WHERE to buy, WHAT to buy, and WHEN to buy. Ele who fails to read the advertisements daily is LOSING MONEY. The advertisements make it possible for your dollars to do DOUBLE and TRIPLE duty. Examples : Tuesday men were notified that shirts, pajamas and hats * could be bought for one-half, or one-third their regular retail value. In another advertisement Tuesday $5.00 shoes were be- >( ing sold for less than half; $lO dresses at less than $4; $2 aluminum pitchers at 69c; as well as 50 other similar bar. gains. Ladies trimmed hats worth as high as SB.OO were sold at SI.OO. Children’s and misses shoes were sold this week for half , their regular price—two pairs for the price of one pair. In another edition—in fact in several editions recently— s the finest fancy and staple groceries were being sold for one-third and even lower than one-half their regular cost. If you read your paper regularly it will save you hundreds and hundreds of dollars every year. It’s not the dollar made—but the dollar saved—that makes rich men out of poor ones. . - . . . . » U’ 2,500 I amilieg read The Daily Timea-Recorder Every Afternoon, representing 10,000 Persons or more ■ •- . . ■ '• .
