TAXPAYERS HERE ARE
SLOW ABOUT RETURNS

Although Tax Receiver G. D. Jones
has had his books open for several
days for the return of property for
taxation very few persons have shown
any disposition to make their returns.
They have several months in which to
do so, and Mr.. Jones, knowing from
that most of his must be
done during the last few weeks his
books are open, is prepared to go
through the same experience again

at its meeting in 1919, makes an ap-

commissioner had examined the road.

The w. c. T. u. meeting at the
pleasant home of Mrs. Louisa Coon
Friday afternoon was well attended
The program was in charge of Mrs
Jennie Cook who gave a very inter
esting report of the state jubilee in
Lansing, April 80, in honor of the
funeral of John Barleycorn and in re-
joicing that the state had gone dry
1t is apparent that the fight has
only just begun. With wet states on
our border and a proposition to license
the sale of beer and light wines being
pushed by the liquor element all dry
organizations must still be awake.
Some extracts from the address of
Mrs. Caulkins, our state president
were to the effect that while the wom-
en- had been working and praying for
40 years for this day and now had
just found out we are an asset, the
cry has come from the government for
women and we must keep the home
fires burning, and are asked to save
and conserve. Still in 1917, 70 mil
lion bushels of grain, so million tons
of sugar and 100 million tons of coal
were used to produce booze.
The need of national prohibition was
strongly urged.
Delegates were elected to the coun-
ty convention to be held at Laings-
burg, May Is and 16.
