MAIL TO BLUEJACKET
AS PRECIOUS AS GOLD
Loyal Girls of Amreica Make
Life Brighter for Soldiers
and Sailors.

CHICAGO. June 20.-Interest mani
Tested at the country crsos roads post
office in the daily arrival of the mail
Is nothing to the expectancy displayed
on the big battleships of the Ameri-
can navy when~the jackies are mus
tered on-deck for the distribution Of
letters.
Many OF the youthful sailors are
away from home for the first time
and even their pride in being par. Of
Uncle Sans first line. and regular
fighting men," cannot keep them from
feeling just n bit homesick when they
see their comrades receiving letters
while their names are not called.
Loyal Girls Enlisted.
To remedy this condition and TO
make every sailor boy know that
ashore, somewhere In the land he is
defending. are those who think of him,
an organization has been formed, the
principal duty OF Its members being
to write frequent letters to the sailors
of the battle fleet. Its name is "The
Loyal Girls of America Society,"" and
the secretary OF its mother chapter
has names of sailor boys and an
nounced that she will be glad to send
them to any Loyal Girl" who will
write to her.
The Loyal Girls of America society
is pledged to write to soldiers and
sailors of the United States. The So
ciety was organized last month, an in
direct outgrowth of the request of
little Evelyn Young, who asked Cap
tain Moffett, commandant of the Great
Lakes Naval Training station, for the
name of a sailor recruit to whom she
could write as If he were her big
brother and had gone to sea. Captain
Moffett encouraged the little girl and
suggested that an Evelyn Sisterh1od"
be formed to encourage the lonesome
recruits.
The Evelyn idea was taken up and
mother chapter of the Loyal Girls of
America society was orgaizned May o
with headquarters at 6616 Kimbnri
avenue. Chicago. Miss Gertrude FL
more is secretary and Mrs. Burton
Hanson president
Encouragement Appreciated.
Indicating the welcome which let
ters receive on shipboard. the quarter
master OF one of the big battleships
says in a letter to Miss Elmore:
THE l.. G.. of A. could do nothing
finer than to encourage us in every
way The recruits especially who
haven't gotten over their homesick-
ness. In my capacity as postmaster
can see what n difference 1t makes
in a big majority of the boys II they
don't get any mail for n few dave.
where just a postcard arriving st the
opportune moment would ngnten up
their day wonderfully"
Another letter from n sailor says:
Mail to a bluejacket at times Is
more to him than the paymasters
check. | only regret that you cannot
have the opportunity of seeing the
boys line up for their mail."
The society asks for no cOntribu-
tions. as 1t Is self-sustaining All 1t
desires is to increase the happiness Of
the lads afloat and to give to the girls
ashore an opportunity to do something
for their country.

HUNT FOR
POLL. TAX
DODGERS
County Treasurer Brown
Issues Edict Regarding
Young Fellows Who Pay
No Poll Tax.

CROWN POINT. IND. Aug. IT,
County Treasurer II. j. Brown is going
after the fellow who enjoys the privil-
ege of citizenship and refuses 20 pay his
poll tax Convinced that there are
thousands OF dollars or unpaid poll tax
that can be collected Mr. Brown is de-
termined TO 60 after it hard and some
young chaps who find Lake county levy
ing on their personal property may be
surprised soon. IF they pay now they
may save themselves a lot Of money.
County Treasurer Brown points out
that the law compels him TO collect this
tax and moreover the Indiana State
Board of Ta1- Commissioners has sent
the county official the following letter:
TO the County Treasurer:
Section 10291 Burns r. S. 1914 de-
aning the duties of the State Board OF
Tax Commits sioners provides among
other things. The following
'FIFTH--To see that all taxes
due the State are collected.
SIXTH--To enforce penalties
prescribed by any revenue law of
the state for disobedience OF it's
provisions.
We call your attention to this law.
an dive shall insist on you performing
your duty as he law provides. At this
time an apReaI is made to everybody TO
be patriotic ard do his duty to the gov
ernment. This should include duty TO
county and state. Every citizen. as
duty he owes to the county and state.
should pay the taxes due from him If
all delinquent taxes shall be collected.
there will be a large increase in the
public revenues. often these dehnquen-
cies are due to 'the carelessness Of the
officer or his failure to impress the pub
lie with its duty 10 pay taxes
Section 10325 Burns r. 5. 1914 says:
County auditors shall not be
authorized TO credit the treasurer
with any uncollected delinquency
for which he claims credit unless
such treasurer shall show by prop
er returns a : above provided. veri-
fed BY his oath or affirmation. that
he has diligently sought for and
has been unable TO find any personal
property from which to collect
such taxes. Of that having made a
levy. he was enjoined or otherwise
prevented from making sale or col
lection by a court OF competent
jurisdiction; and in all cases where
he has failed to make demand upon
levy and sell when personal proper
~ can be found in the county out of
which to make the tax. he shall be
liable on his official bond, for such
Uncollected delinquency and ten per
centum thereon.
Every county treasurer is charged
with the total of all taxes due and is
not entitled TO credit on this charge un-
less he can show that he has made every
effort required by law to collect all
taxes. The treasurer should not stop
with collecting taxes voluntarily paid
but he should see that all taxes are paid.
We trust that you will see the inn
portance of these suggestions and that
it will not be necessary to call your at
tention to them further
