a filly getter. To prove the truth of
his claims made earlier In the sea-
son, Mr. Weeks called our attention
to the remarkable fact that of the
first ten colts this spring from thut
premium winning sire, nine of them
are filley colts. This Is a record that
can hardly ever he equalled, and we
don't believe can be excelled by any
stallion. Mr. Weeks says that re-
newed interest in stock breeding Is
manifested among fanners of his sec-
tion of the county this year. His
pretty big l'ercheron stallion is a
prime favorite, too, so lie reports

The Longest Wireless
Message
The wireless station at Tuckerton. N. J., has
been mentioned a good many times since the
war on account of the questions of neutrality
which have arisen in connection with it.
This station is th« most powerful wireless
station in the world, sending messages direct
to Hanover, Prussia, from the New Jersey
coast.
The mast is 820 feet high and the long-
est wireless messages yet delivered have
come through it
TEXACO LUBRICANTS
are used for the operation of the plant
at this point. Chosen because they rep-
resent the high quality and service
which is necessary to keep the station in
perfect running order.

TM ASSESSOR
GUY'S REMINDER
Count,* Tax Assessor I.. T. (lay, In
conversation Willi a representative of
this paper, called attention to the fact
that his oiltcc force und deputies have
about coinpleli d their annual round
of seeing the taxpayers and listing
property subject to taxation. If they
have omitted seeing anyoii", It has
been unintentional and such ones, if
there be any, should see Mr. (lay or
some of Ids deputies at once and gi\ -
in their renditions. Alt unrendered
property after April goes on th
unieinh rcd list, which In all prob-
ability means higher taxes for you.
Mr. (Jay also calls attention of
those property owners who were not
ready to render when Mr. (lay or
deputies called upon them for the
purpose. Tlley haven't the time to
make a second call. Hence, you had
better call at Mr. (Jay's office" to gUc
In your rendition. Don't neglect this,
for If you do forget It. you will go
down oil the unrendered list.
