LAS sheriff and tax collector
of Forrest County, l will mail
the taxpayers of this county a
statement of the amount due for
the year 1910, and state that

STORIES OF THE WAR
No Reception In Occupied Area.

)sNo neSSptioH tn OCGupted AFod.
 Correspondence of The Associated Press)-Public receptions and meet ings planned by civilians in honor of returning German prisoners of war are not to be allowed in the American occupied area, notice to this effect re- gently having been sent to the author ities of the local government. The German Red Cross has been collecting funds for several months in prepara- ton for the home coming of thousands of Germans from France and England.
 recent order by Major General Henry T. Allen, commander of the American forces in Germany, quotes a letter to the Ober- President of the Rhine province as follows:
 While sympathizing fully with the natural desire of the German people to accord welcome to the returning prisoners of war, nevertheless, in view of the fact that the military occupa- ton must continue until the treaty of peace is ratified by the allied govern ments, and particularly in view of the necessity of preventing any semblance of disorder which might compell a re- sort to disciplinary action, the com manding general directs that you have the regierungs- presidents of Coblenz and 1rier notify the population of their respective bezirks that the recep- rion of returning prisoners of war fly receptions, and must not be made the occasion of official receptions. pro- sessions or any other public assem- plies.
 This will not, of course be con- strued to prevent the Red Cross auth critics from serving refreshments at railroad stations"

PROTECTING INVESTORS.

No one will ever know just how much the people of this country have been f1eeced out of by worthless stocks, fraudulent sa1esmen. gold bricks and wildcat specu1ating. It would amount to a staggering sum in spite of all the efforts that have been made to prevent it. The fascination of some people for that which is made to look most attractive and the ease with which others can be hypnotized by the smooth talk of the fakir have moved certain states to provide legislation dealing herewith for the protection of the people and at the same time those who are honestly engaged in dealing in safe securities.
 In this respect Nebraska has passed what is known as blue sky '' law. a course that has been followed by not a few others, for with the farmers of that state having reaped a rich har- vest from their grain crops the money sharks have not been slow to deplete the we'll filled pocket books. or in other words to make a handsome hv- ring off of the farmers by giving them nothing for much legitimateIy earned zeash. Because these shysteFs kept on the move few could be reached through federal investigations They were invariably gone before they were SuSpeCleus put hehte1ortH uAuSI the state trade commission provided for by the new legislation all those engaged henceforth in the sale of stocks ip the state must secure l- cense from this commission This doesn't guarantee the success of the company but indicates that it is sound and honestly managed It thus affords a protection to the investors which they might not seek for them selves but which means the prevention of a tremendous amount of waste Many Nebra skans will unGuestion- ably be protected against what other swise might mean large losses through 5their own poor judgment.

:. Ire encounter of the RIA with the severe thunder storms between Ncwl foundland and her goal must, indeed, have been an anxious time for Major Scott and his crew. Balloons floating freely in the air at the speed of the wind currents are practically immune from lightning dangers but it is quite another thing with aircraft propelled by their own power.
