Hon. Jack Mills, U. S. Comm
issioner, J.P. farmer etc, of Sol
ano called with his bride Satur-
day and admitted the truth that
he is married. From his diffident
conversation we gather that Jack
Pierce Mills and Miss Vera Marie
Burton were married at the home
of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. G. j. Burton, of Solano,
Wednesday, June 9th at thigh
noon" the VOWS being administ-
cred with the ring ceremony by
Rev. DR.. H.R. Mills, of Clayton,
brother to the Groom, in the
presence of relatives and a few
specially invited friends.
Following the ceremony a we'd
ding dinner bounteous and elabo-
rate in keeping with the occasion
and such as few besides the
brides mother know how to
prepare, was served and in the
evening the newly-weds were
entertained at the home of the
groom's mother, Mrs. Mills
Young and on Thursday motored
to Claton in company with DR.,
Mills and family remaining until
the following Sunday when they
returned home and are since at
home to their friends at the
home of the groom's mother.
The groom was born at Dan

and has lived in N. NJ. for q
number of years. He is a mem.

Tax Delinquents

The current issue of the N. M.
Tax Review presents some start
ling facts regarding delinquent
taxes. Our own Mora County
has delinquent taxes in the pa t
four years amounting to S Sc, 463
.08 which the Review figures up
makes the taxpayer who does
pay MISTAKES pay $10.49 more on
every hundred dollars taxes than
he otherwise would have to pay.
Adding to this the property
unassessed in previous years and
we will see that honest tax-pay-
ers have been compelled to pay
more than one fourth more tax
than they would had the assess
ment been far and all been COM
PEELED to pay their taxes.
The law,goes to the extreme
allowing a penalty of 5 percent
on all delinquent taxes where
judgment is secured for the pay
ment to hire special counsel as it
is said the District Attorneys
who are paid a salary will not
prosecute these tax dodgers, who
are usually party leaders of the
dominant party in the Judicial
district and, of course a Public
prosecutor must not bite the
hand that feeds him and gives
him his job. 1t furthur also
points out that County Boards
can employ special lawyers to
collect this tax and under the
law, pay such lawyers their fees
while the judgments are only en-
tered against tax dodgers and no
sale of property Or other means
taken to make them actually pay
in the money thus robbing the
Court funds and making the
whole matter Of collecting from
willful tax dodgers.a a joke.
Mora County is not the worst
county in the state by any means
Political barbarism runs rife in
many others. Socorro County
where Bursum is supposed to be
almost a despot, is St54, 250.09
delinquent and assessments not
nearly up toknown values and
burden of about 80 percentis add
ed to the honest taxpayer.
There is much other informa-
ton of interest in this magazine
and some things which it does
not attempt to. explain or deny
that seriously affect the tax
payer but there are enough to
make any thinking man wish for
a different sentiment in the polit
ical machinery Of his state.

Paul Anderson will take Bob
Grunig with him as separator
man when he goes threshing
this fall. They have a nice run
promised and are getting ready
for it. One of their improvements
is a trap at the bottom of the
straw blower which catches any
grains that carry over in the
straw and returns them to the
grain pan and gets every
grain in the hopper where it be-
longs.

Your Flag and My Flag
By Wilbur ID. Nesbit

Your flag and my flag!
And how it Flies today
In your land and my land
And half a world away!
Rose-red and blood red
The stripes forever CLEAN;
Snow-white and souI-whie-
The good forefathers dream
Skybue and true blue with stars to CLEAN Alright
The gored gudon Of the daya shelter through the night
Your flag and my flag!
And,O how much it holds
Your land and my land
Secure within its folds!
Your heart and my heart
Beat quicker at the sight!
Sun-kissed and windtossed,
Red and blue and white.
The one fag-the great flag the flag for me and you
Glorifes all else beside the red and white and blue
Your flag and my flag!
To every star and stripe
The drums beat as hearts beat
And ffers shrilly pipe
Your flag and my flag
A blessing in the sky;
Your hope and my hope
. 1t never hid lie
Home land and far land and half the world around,
Old Glory hears glad salute and rppes to the sound

The report of the explosion at
the mare Island Navy Yard at
Vallejo, California, Monday eau
sed us to look at once in tho list
of killed and wounded. Randolf
Grouse, of Roy, has been employ
ed there the past year and the
Vallejo, headline naturally made
us think of him. 1t is d little
hard to be patient when the lis.
treats these worse than pagans
like they were human. If every
agent of the German govern
ment in this country was execut-
ed promptly when caught in
such reasonable acts there would
at least be fewer Of them to
watch.

grudgingly tells the truth thus
"The Springer base bali team
contested with the Mills aggre-

the game the score stood 8 to 6

desecrate a Mexican graveyard. MY
country. it has a government. An
officer of the state of Texas, under
arms, has crossed the Rio Grande.
What does that meanw
Captain Evans had a sense of hui
NOR; Longorio's ominous words amused
him. "Say, general, it amt the first
time" he chortled "And you're an Off
GER too, amt you? You're in Texas
at this minute, and I'll bet if frisked
YOU I'd find that you was under arms"
The Mexican understood English suffi-
GENTLY we'll to grasp the significance
of these words. After a moments con-
sideration, therefore, he modified his
threatening tone.
''But my mission was friendly. had
no criminal purpose" he said mildly.
''However-perhaps one offense con-
dones the other. At any rate, we must
have no international complications.
There is a more practical side to the
matter: If Don Ricardo Guzman met
his death in Mexico, there will be a
rigid investigation, / assure you"
Evans agreed. ''That's fair! And
I'll make bargain with you: you
keep still and SOIL we. We never
aimed for this affair to get out, any
how. I reckon these men"-he indi-
Gated Lewis and his followers-"ain't
liable to talk much"
The two Guzman boys, greatly

accept their evidence.

to you. Since there is nothing more
to be said, apparently, 1 will return
to Romero" With bow to Mrs. Aus
tin, who had silently watched the play
of these opposing motives, he turned
away, and Tad Lewis followed him.
But Dave Law had recognized Adolfo
Urbina in the crowd, and, stepping for
ward, disarmed him, saying:
"Adolfo, there's warrant for you,
so I'll just take you in."
For a moment Adolfo was inclined
to resist, but, thinking better of it, he
yielded with bad grace, bitterly re-
GREETING the curiosity which had
prompted him to remain to the end of
this interesting affair.
Tad Lewis gave him some comfort
"Never mind, Adolfo,' ne said. 'They
can't prove anything on you, and TIL
go your bail. Ed Austin knows where
you was the day that stock was stole" :"
He and his two remaining men moved
toward their automobile, and moment
later the vehicle went gathering away
up the thicket road.
So ended the attempt to foil the re-
turn of Ricardo Guzman's body to
Texas soil.
When Alaire came to look for her
