WINNESHIEK TANES $3.50. GOO
Above Amount Collected in March
SO, 40 Automobile Tax Received
From State.

The county treasurer office Of
Winneshiek county has been a busy
place since March l. The taxes have
been we'll paid up too. The amount
collected for 1915 was $4,000. Of
this amount $4,000 was paid in by
DEBORAH Corporation, which means
that DEBORAH pays a little more than
one-siXth of the taxes of the entire
county. In 1913 the amount of tax
.es was Sal, 900, and in 1914 $173,-
900.
The County Motor Vehicle Road
Fund" or automobile tax for Winnie
shiek county was received by the
treasurer from the state last week
and amounted to $S,44O, which is the
largest amount the county has receiv-
ed yet. The above amount is only
for six months, which ended April
LIST, and another apportionment will
be along later in the year. The law
as passed by the lhirty-fourtn general
assembly directed this money to be
expended only for the crowning,
dragging, graveling, macaGamizing
of public highways outside the limits
of cities and towns, and for building
permanent culverts on sucn high
ways"
The automobile tax is appOrtioned
out by the state according to the
number of townships in the county
This county with twenty townships
would receive twice as much as a
county with ten townships, regard
less of the number of automobiles in
the county.

The Girls Got An Education.

Lewis Follman lives eight miles
from Sigourney and he is the HAPPY
father Of five handsome daughters.
Four of them are graduates of the
high school and the fifth one is now
junior in the school. Mr.. Follman
says that just one of the things he
has done that he did not really count
was the bringing these girls to school
and taking them home In this he
says he recently figured out tnat he
had travelled $4,000 miles, 5000
miles more than the distance around
the world, in order that these girls
might have the advantage OF a high
school education. Figuring at the
cost of riding in an automobile now
adays that would be worth $4,000
for travelling expenses.

Loans on Cotton
at 6 per cent

Last year the First National
Bank loaned money to EVERY
farmer who offered warehouse
receipts for cotton as security,
and by means of these loans
hundreds of bales of cotton were
stored and sold later at higher
prices which put thousands of
dollars in the pockets of our
farmer customers.
We do not advise the farmers
to store their cotton this year nor
do we advise them to sell at the
present prices. This is a matter
which should be decided by each
individual farmer according to
his needs and circumstances.
We are prepared however to
make loans, secured by ware
house receipts for cotton, to
those farmers who may wish to
hold their cottcn n at Six Per Cent
Interest.
