king, MIMI, Rep. l92U.
Editor Warren Sheaf,
Warren, MINI.
Dear Sir:
Your mention in the Sheaf about who
pays the largest and smallest amount
Of taxes in the county, reminds one of
the fact that the county is cheated of
many hundred dollars every year be
cause people will not give up their
money and credits correctly to the as
SCISSORS. We who pay the small
amounts, need not be ashamed, we pay
the correct amount on our credits, while
many with several hundred dollars in
the banks pay nothing.
I have been assessor many years my
self and know it is very difficult to
get the money and credits correctly, be-
cause some do not understand and
many will not understand that it is
their duty to pay the small amount of
taxes charged on money and credits. !
know some in my neighborhood that
should have paid some, but pay moth
ing and some that I think should have
paid more than they do. I have known
some that come with all kinds Of ex-
cuses and finally sign their name to a
false oath simply to escape payment OF
the small money and credit tax.
Shame! But often such people think
they are the best in the neighb0rhood.
Yours truly,
- c.. S. Samuels0n.

HUNTERS USING AEROPLANES
ARRESTED UNDER BIRD LAW,

The first arrest under the Migratory
Bird Treaty act for hunting wild fowl
from an airplane was made in Mis-
souri, recently when the long arm of
the law reached into the air and
seized two men for hunting and killing
wild geese from an air craft. The ar
rest was made by warden of the Bio
logical Survey, United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, which administers
the Migratory Bird Treaty Act Fol

Warren; Mimi, JAN. 30 1920
In view Of the public criticism made
in the Warren Sheaf Of the Home Tai
ent Play given last week, the under:
signed feels that the following explain.
alton is justified. The Ladies Reading
Circle of Warren, to whom the pro.
ceeds of the play are to be given, was
not in any waysrespo for the sci
ection Of the play nor Of the members
of the cast.
The undersigned was. appointed chair
man Of committee (of the Reading
Circle) to raise funds to defray the ex-
penses incidental to entertaining The
Federation Of Womens Clubs of the 9th
District, which meets here! this spring;
and inasmuch as the members of the
Dramatic Club were already rehears-
ing "The American Bride they were
asked, by the undersigned, to donate
the proceeds of the play to the Reading
Circle. This they readily agreed to.
This explanation is made for the pur-
pose Of absolving all the other members
Of the Reading Circle, as well as the
other members of the committee, from
any blame or criticism whatever in con.
nection with the play
The words "Under the auspices OF
the Reading Circle" were used mad
visedly.

Farmers Urged to
Test Seed Grain

The Northwest Experiment Station
urges all farmers to test their seed
grain before planting this spring, due
to the wide variation in tests made SO
far. Without testing, many people will
plant seed, especially corn, and get a
very poor stand. With the prevailing
high prices Of grain there is urgent
need for every grower to know what to
expect from the seed he is sowing. For
those not In q position to make their
own tests the Northwest Station will
run tests for them. Samples can be
mailed in or brought to the schools
booth at the Winter Show In the Live
Stock Pavilion during Farmers Week
February to 10.
