Theodore Roosevelt has set the tongues
of the political gossips, not merely So

the shores OF his native heath it may
be expected that the talk, vigorous as

Not alone does the talk concern the
political fortunes of the colonel ana
whether he will be a candidate in
1916. but it concern the democratic sit

is a most entertaining line of specula-

YOU CAN PAY-oR PAY.

For several years past the city
officials have been having rou-
BILE in collecting road or poll tax
from goodly per cent of the peo-
ple of this city. This year they
have not been worrying them
selves to any great entent as to
whether the people come in and
nav or not. There is a law which
provides that this tax shall be
paid after due notice has been
given, and as it is a miSdemeanor
not to do so, the officials have
simply been issuing warrants for
the arrest of the delinquentS and
they have been brought into court
and in addition to having the tax
to- pay, they have also been as
sesSed a fine and also the costs OF
The case. Several of these war
rants have already been issued,
and the parties have been assess
d the tax, the fine and the incl
dental trimmings, and as a re-
Q suit road tax receipts have been
greatly in demand the past week
from persons who heretOforehave
passed up this part of their taxes
as a useless expenditure of money.
If the tax is a good thing for one
man to pay, it is a good thing for
another, and the officials are TAX
ing the right steps to make them
all come across"

furS? Last year we paid out in
cash over $4,000 for furs that
were caught within a few miles
OF Great Bend. To one man alone
| paid Sl4.OO for one bunch of
skunk hides which he told me he
got out of one den the day before.
On account of the war the mar
ket is much lower on furs than
last year, and this is one of the
very best times for the mail order
houses to reap a harvest on the
furS that are Seht to them, so look
out, for when you send them in
they only y pay the price they feel
disposed to pay, and you have no
say. Bring your furs to me and
l will pay you every cent | can,
and If you are not satisfied with
my offer you are at liberty to
keep your furS and do as YOU
please with them. This is one
advantage you do not have when
you send them to commission
firm. We want all the furs we
can get and will pay you all there
is in them and you take nc
