NOTICE TO WATER USES

Owing to the continued dryness
and increased danger from fires.I
respectfully request that users OF
water for irrigation purposes kindly
shut off same upon the sounding of
the fire whistle, and remain so un-
til the fire-out signal has been blown
on the curfew whistle. This will as
sist the fire department in properly
subduing fires and preventing seri-
ous losses. f. c. FLANAGAN,

TAX COLLECTOR TO
Be HERE TOMORROW
TO COLLECT
POLL TAXES

For the accommodation of the vot-
ers, j P. Murdaugh, tax collector,
will be in Lakeland tomorrow, and
will receive poll taxes, which may
be paid to him at Tourist Headquar-
tiers in the Bassett building. This
will enable every voter in the three
Lakeland precincts TO pay poll taxes
without the Inconvenience of a trip
TO Barlow. The time for payment of
poll taxes in order that voter may
be qualified to vote in the June pri,
mary is growing short, and every one
should avail themselves of this op-
portunity to attend to this important
matter.
IT is Just as essential that the vot-
er be registered properly as it is
that he pay his poll tax. because, al
though an elector might have a poll
tax receipt he will not be permitted
to vote unless he is registered. The
campaien launched through the
Chamber of Commerce yesterday is
, in full blast today. A number of gen.
i tlemen assigned to various sections
of the district being engaged in max
| ing a house to house canvass to see
that all eligible persons are regis
tered. Due to this concerted action
! 1t is probable that by Saturday. the
last day for precinct registration
very few will have been allowed tc
forget this important prerequisite to
the exercise of the duties of citizen
| ship.
