those who are desirous of purchasing
supplies. Mr.. Bakers long experience as
a merchant enables him to buy goods at

will do you right.
The usual penalty for non-payment OF
taxes next Spring will be saved, as the
tax books will not be ready until Septem-

in he treasury and the inc reased receipts
from phosphate royalty will meet the
current expenses of the government until
taxes are collected in the Fall.
