blind father to the county poor farm.
The shock to the county fathers
was so great that ii was some time
before they recovered. When they
did there was a wild clamor of mo-
tions to reject the bill. 1t is practic-
ally decided that the bill will be re-
tanned as evidence of the county's
contention that the creditor named is
truly the meanest man in the uni
verse.
The father is rs years of age. A
year ago he went blind, and has been
practically helpless ever since. Re-
Gently an application was made to
the county board to send him TO the
poor house, none of the three chill
dren being willing to care for their
father during his declining years. al
though ii was he who supported them
and took care of them during their
helpless years of infancy.

sion, which has been called by Bank
Examiner Wingfield, executive officer
OF the commission, which meets at
this city the 10Th of this month, will
have a lot of work TO carry out at

banks of the state. The guaranty
act is one which in its main essentials
vas framed by the bankers of the
state themselves through a committee
appointed by their association fol-
that purpose, and is expected to work
with very little friction. While the
law is in existence through legisla
tive action, there will be two other
acts for this same end placed upor

FARMERS TOO BUSY IN FIELDS
10 COME IN AND PAY TAXES

The ideal weather. enabling the
farmer to be in the fields, has kept
them from coming to town and pay
ing their taxes. "At present the
total payments are much less than
they were this time last year." N.
Cole, county treasurer, said this
morning. With the approach of Der
cember 20, when all taxes are in
reality due, the county treasurer's
office has been filled with taxpay-
ers the past few days.
The great majority Of the pay
ers, fully eighty per cent, take ad-
vantage Of the 8 per cent rebate on
.one-half of the taxes and pay in
full for the whole year. After De-
cember 20 this rebate is cancelled.
