which began on November 10. 1914,
when Captain Won Muecke reluctant.

other members OF the crew of the
Emden when their boat was sunk in
the Indian ocean by an Australian
battleship after the Emden had de-
stroyed more than 10000 tons of Brit

Muecke and his men, who had
been sent ashore at Cocos island to
destroy the wireless station there,
were marooned when the Emden
fought her last fight. Selling

George r. Bablon, agent OF the Fidel-

that he must collect all outstanding
taxes. Collector Hicks said today that
there is about $4,000 due by Mill Creek
hundred taxpayers. that must be paid
at once. Consequently Collector Hicks
beginning December 1. will CONNIE &c
to levy upon and sell property in the
hundred to satisfy the claims.
Taxpayers are making grave mis-
take by allowing their taxes to re-

taxes for 1913. will find that he must
pay twenty cents a month extra and
on the 1914 taxes there will be twelve
cents fine on every dollar that is owed.
That is the law and not the work of
the tax collector So it can be seen
that instead Of getting a rebate OF five
per cent in 1913 the taxpayer has to
