ABOLISH FEE FOR
REGISTERING OF
ARMY DISCHARGE

Aledo, ILL.,, June 11.-No' fee will
be charged returned soldiers for
the registering OF discharges.
Its adjustment is due to action
taken yesterday by the Mercer
personal appeal OF Circuit Clerk
Sam Nelson. According to the
statutes the circuit clerk has been
charging and collecting a small fee
for this work. He learned that
this was not being done in other
counties. Disapproval was also be-
ing voiced here by relatives and
friends OF the discharged men
Hence yesterday morning MI.
Nelson appeared before the board,
presenting the proposition to its
members. The supervisors voted
unanimously to have the county
bear the expense.
About one hundred men have al
ready paid for having discharges
registered Circuit Clerk Nelson
stated. These men may get their
money back upon application at the
circuit clerks ONCE, it is stated.

HOT LUNCHES IN SCHOOLS.

School lunches have been estab-
lished in 70 rural schools OF nine
Indiana counties where home dem
onstration agents have been at
work. By this means 1897 school
children in the last year have besn
served with at least one hot dish
at noon. The immediate aim has
been to improve the physical and
mental condition of the children
and to educate them to the value
of milk, vegetables and fruit in
their diet. The ultimate aim is to
convince the school authorities of
the importance, of a hot lunch to
a child. One home demonstration

avoidable absence have maintained
a passing standard.
ITO bring up to grade those who
have failed in one or two subjects
ITO advance especially strong

Pupils are expected to attend
regularly and to maintain the same
grade of work as is required during
the regular school year"

HURRY TO AVOID
DOUBLE LICENSE
ON GAS WAGONS
Reciprocal Agreement With Iowa
Urged Upon Members Of
Illinois Legislature.

If anything is to be done to re-
move the burdensome and onerous
double tax on automobiles, and es-
pecfally trucks, operating across
state lines,it must be done at once.
The Illinois legislature is con-
stdering the license subject 1t
has before 1t bills amending the
motor vehicle fees and making
them larger, much larger for
trucks, but letting the nonresident
section stand as it is.
Iowa has just increased its IL
cense fees SO that they range from
SIS to $165 per annum. It also
adopted a provision reciprocal III
its nature. Residents of states
which do not tax Iowa motors may
operate cars and trucks in Iowa
without mourning the double bur-
den.
Motor owners in Illinois are
urged to Immediately bring pres
sure to bear upon the legislature
for a reciprocal amendment SIM
liar to that adopted across the
river.
Appeal for Action.
The following statement on the
subject is submitted by the tri-city
committee of the Interstate Motor
Vehicle Protective association, Of
which j. T. Marion of his city is
chairman:
THE law passed by both houses
of the Iowa legislature some time
ago provides for greatly increased
license taxes on both passenger
automobiles and particularly on
commercial trucks. The scale OF
license fees ranges from SIS to $165
per annum.
There is pending at the present
time in the Illinois legislature a
similar amended motor vehicle Ii
cense tax bill. The increase on
passenger automobiles is slight,
but that on trucks and other COM
merciaI vehicles is about the same
as is now provided by the new
Iowa law. A bill. known as house
bill No. 474 was introduced in the
house of Illinois about the same
time that senate bill No. 361 was
introduced in the senate of the gen.
GIdl dSSSIQ ACy
in their provisions. The house bill
has apparently passed the house as
it is now reported to be in the COM
mittee on judiciary Of the senate,
while the senate bill is still in the
senate committee to which 1t was
referred.
1.-THE amendments of the Illinois
motor vehicle law, as proposed. do
not cover section eight OF the pres
emit Illinois statutes on the subject
which has been the occasion of Sc
much difficulty in the past among
the tri-cities. That section is
known as the nonresident section
and has been construed to mean
that automobiles licensed in other
states must also be licensed in
Illinois If they are driven in I1li-
nois This led 70 retaliation on the

few. Unequal taxation has always
led to difficulties. It not only IN
duly hampers and restricts BUSH
ness and commerce in general, but
is usually followed by a repeal and
the good for which 1t was orig
inally intended is lost sight Of and
little or no provision made in place
of it."

Probably no Christmas would seem

popular hymn, "Hark the Herald

The word carol, which originally
meant dance, is thought to have
come into our language either from
the Norman French carole or from the
Celtic carol.
In 1922 Davies Gilbert published
"some ancient Christmas carols, with

In many English villages there are
carols peculiar to themselves, to be
lealously guarded and retained for

The Christmas carol dates from the
birth Of Christianity itself, the
angels having sung their carols at the
birth of Jesus Christ.
Among the early Christians carols
were sacred hymns representing
