NOTICE TO PUBLIC!

Taxpayers of Audrain County are
reminded again that the Internal Rev
enue Collectors have an office at the
Court House, and are ready to assist
in making out income tax returns.
All those who are subject to the pay
ment of income taxes are urged to re-
port to the Government Collectors as
soon as possible, because they will be
here only until January 26th, and af-
ter that date the tax payers will not
have the assistance of those officials
in making out their returns. 1t is rec
commended that this important matter
be not deferred until the last few
days, for in that event it would be
manifestly impossible to accommodate
everyone; and after the departure of
the Government Agents, taxpayers
will be thrown upon their own re-
sources for information. We there
fore request all to attend to this with
out further delay, and thus avoid pos
sible disappointment, confusion and
mistakes.

MRS. ]. H. LANE HON
ORED FOR 18TH. TIME

At the county meeting Of the W. C.
t. U. held at the Methodist Church
Friday, Mrs. Lora S. La Nance talk
ed generally on the work they must do
in regard to the war and to keep up
interest in the church work. "We
must keep the fires burning on the
church hearth" she said, "for when
the boys come back from the front
they will probably have lost some of
their church interest. We must see
that they come back into the church
work and their interest revived"
The following officers were elected:
Mrs. John Lane, reelected president
for the 18th term; Minnie Whitledge,
vice-president; Mrs. .. T. Bondurant,
corresponding secretary; Mrs. Emma
Holmes, recording secretary; Mrs.
Kate Peterson, reelected treasurer
for the eighth term.
Mrs. L Nance is one of the strong
est speakers in the W. C. 7. U. work
in the West and her message was
heard by a large audience. The en-
tire meeting, which drew members
from all parts of Audrain, was a
splendid success.
The reelection of Mrs. Lane as
president for the 18th time, was a
greatly deserved honor. Mrs. Lane has
been tireless in her efforts in behalf
of the W. C. T. U. and has a high
standing throughout the state as well
as in this city The Audrain county
organization is one of the most active
and strongest in Missouri.
When 1t was necessary to draft a
new constitution of the Missouri w.
C. T. U. nine years ago, four women
were chosen for this duty. Because
of her proven executive ability, full
understanding of the work, the field
and the needs of the same, Mrs. Lane
was named member Of this commits
sion. This is the largest woman's
organization in the world and in her
quiet and unassuming way, Mrs. Lane
continues one the state leaders though
preferably working in the back
ground.
