TAX PAYMENT IS
REQUIRED AT ONCE

Business is again picking up, &C
cording to Theodore Peterson, in
come tax man stationed in Moline.
He states that he expects to be even
buster during the next few days.
The reason for this rush lies in
the fact that the Moline business
men and corporations have failed
to make their early payments. They
must do this by June Is.
There will be no extension, sa:d
Mr.. Peterson. The time for these
payments has already been extend
ed from March Is to June Is. Dur
ing the past two months there has
been little doing in the city hall Of
flee of the revenue department.
Mr.. Peterson urges that Moline
business men and corporation rep
resentatives hurry and file their re-
ports.

The outcome is bghted reputa- tion, shame and disgrace felt often most keenly by those who have loved the wayward child best, and whose hearts are wounded by lack of confidence and trust

 In any such secret affair there is treason to the family tie and the love that holds it's units together The girl who away from home has little thought of the anxiety and distress she her parents feeling of gratitude for the and affection lay ished upon her, no sense of duty toward those who have conferred countless benefits And yet, how of shamed, repudiated, unable endure life with the she chose she is glad to creep back to the despised home and the sheterng she aban- doned!
