good corn at IS cents bushel in 100 bushel lots,
the feed situation isn't SO very alarming. The
price for seed depends entirely upon the quality

Some Residents Who Have Paid in

Have to Pay in No. 2 Also.

There is some little agitation
among few of the residents of
Waterworks District No. / who
have already paid the assessment
for the year 1911. They have got
ten the erroneous idea that an at
tempt will be made to collect from
them also the assessment for 1911
in the new second district. Such
will not be the case. The moneys
which have been paid in from the
old district No. 4 will be turned
over to The new district No. 2, and
credited on the accounts Of those
who paid it in. The only other Wa
ter tax collection which will be
made this year will be from those
who live in the new district outside
of the old one. Due notice will be
given in The Star of the time and
place of such collections.
