IS THANKFUL FUR
RED CROSS PACKET.

At least one Of our fighting men has
been made happy with Christmas
packet from the Baraga County Chap
ter of the American Red Cross. The
following letter has been received by
Martin Voetsch, former chairman Of
the County Chapter.
Camp Meade, Maryland.
My dear Mr.. Voetsch:-
Will you please extend to the men,
bers of the Baraga County Chapter
who were responsible for the Christ
mas box / received the sincere thanks
of soldier boy who is not yet lover
there" Although my home is near
the great state of Michigan (Chicsgo)
must confess that l do not know
whether L'Anse is in the upper or low
er peninsula, whether it is near De-
troit, Jackson, Kalamazoo, Benton
Harbor. Grand Haven or Alpena, but
wherever it is, it must be in the heart
of Michigan-the good heart, I mean.
Thanking you and your organization
again, am
Sincerely,
Sergeant C. H. Stone,
Co. A, 304th Field Signal Battalion.

LARGE BOUNTY
FUND PAID OUT.

Since the bounty law on noxious
birds and animals went into effect the
latter, part of August, quite a large
sum has been paid out in Baraga couB-
ty. Although the mentioning of IL
may be Of no particular credit to any
district, it may be well in passing to
sa that Barsga county will probably
ssue the largest number of warrants
for bounties of this kind of any county
in the upper peninsula, if not in tue
entire state.
Since August bounties have been
paid on 28l weasels, 5 wolves, 8 wild
cats, s hawks, 8 fox and II owls.

TOBACCO CARDS
ARE COMING BACK.

With the reesipt of the return postals
placed in each 25c. carton Of tobacco
sent to our soldiers. it is expected that
the Sentinel's soldiers tobacco fund
will gain impetus. To date w. T.
Menge and Martin voetsch of Lame
have had some Of their cards returned,
but in some manner the postals re-
ceived by Martin Voetsch have been
returned from Camp Dix at Trenton,
N. J. James F. Clark of the 309th
Infantry and Corporal E. Lindsey Of
the 35Oth Field Artillery both send Mr..
Voetsch their sincere thanks for the
remembrances.
When we undertook to collect for the
fund, it was with the understanding
that all Of the tobacco would 60 to our
soldiers and sailors abroad, and we
shall at once take up this matter with
the men in charge Of the fund at New
York. Wherever the tobacco goes,
however, it fulfills it's mission and it
should be q fine remembrance to the
givers to know that they have helped
make the work of some soldier boy a
little more cheerful.
We want to hear from more of our
local people as contributors to our
fund. We have a whole bunch of good
hearted fellows in this county whom
we knew would be glad to contribute
quarter or . dollar. Don't put this off
waiting for some one To come around
and collect, for this is strictly
voluntary subscription. Think of the
cheer good carton Of tobacco would
give soldier in the trenches right now,
Mr.. Smoker, and we do hot believe you
would hesitate toward contributing
any longer. Send in that dollar or
quarter today.
The Sentinel's fund is the only one
in this district that divides the money
received between all the tobacco com
panies without favor for the purchase
Of the cartons. To date over 500. 600
has been collected, the Providence,

OF INTEREST TO
ALL TAXPAYERS.

Seldom are we COMPELLED to differ
with our big brother. the Houghton
Mining Gazette, but quite recently a
paragraph appeared in that publication
to which we must we take exception,
in order that the taxpayers may be
correctly informed. The paragraph
was as follows:-
Taxes for state, county and
township purposes are due De-
cember and up to and including
December 8 the collection fee of
the treasurer.is only ! per cent.
After that date and up to and in
GLIDING April 80 the collection
fee is per cent. After April 30
the tax rolls are turned over to
the county treasurer and taxes
not paid are considered delinquent
and thereafter the taxpayers
must pay the per cent plus l
per cent per month until the
tax sale two years later"
Our reasons for this difference of
opinion is due to the fact that the
former state law and the tax rolls tell
US that the collection fee up to and in
ciuding January 10th on taxes is one
per cent and after that up to and in
cluding March 1st the collection fee is
four per cent. March first is the last
day one may pay taxes to the township
treasurers.
At the last session Of the legislature
law was passed and approved in
February, taking immediate effect, by
which the township treasurers have
only sixty days for the collection of
taxes. A one per cent collection fee
is added for the first thirty days, and
for the next thirty days collection fee
of four per cent is charged. There
seems to have been a mistake some
place however, for the tax rolls furn-
ished the townships here make the
collection dates the same as before.
The new law is the first one in the
book of Public Acts of 1917.
Another matter which should be not
ed by taxpayers is that not one cent
of the collection fee charged by the
county treasurer is retained by him
personally, but all goes into the gen
! eral fund of the county.
Township treasurers are required by
law to remit to the county treasurer
all state, county, county road, county
bond and Federal road bond taxes COL
lected up to and including January 10th
within three days after the tenth of
January.

STOCK MARKET


New York, Aug. 12-Wal street,
1880 a. m.-Stocks were firm at the
opening Of today's trading, retaining
the greater part of last Saturdays
general advance, but eased slightly
later. U. S. Steel lost a point and
other equipments, especially Baldwin
Locomotive were heavy. Tobaccos
and U. S. Rubber registered substan-
tial upward progress and rails also
hardened, st. Paul preferred gaining
a point. Liberty 312's made. a new
maximum for the year at 10000.
The early reaction, was succeeded by
irregular quotations. Canadian Pacific
gained points, accompanied by
hasty shorting covering, and other in
vestment issues of the transportation
group were fractionally higher al
though Reading Jagged. U. S. Steel
regained the gerater part of it's loss,
and Crucible and Midvale steels were
comparatively strong. Prices shaded
again in the second hour, American
Telephone and Coppers being subject
ed to pressure. Liberty 3Rs made a
further advance to 10000,
