TAX COLLECTORS
ARE BUSY MEN
IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT
TAXES
ENTAILS MUCH EXTRA WORK
Small Per Cent of Taxes Haze
Been Paid Up To This
Time.

Sheriff Bob Keel and his of
flee force of three deputies are
now about the busiest men in
the county, as they find it nee
essary to put in much overtime
in order to accommodate the
eleventh hour tax payers. The
work is also very much heavier
because of the road improve
ment district taxes and the col
lectors report that about half
of their time is required for
this item.
To date, abuot $500 tax re-
ceipts have been issued and
there are approximately 5000
more to be issued. About 250
less receipts have been issued
than were issued up to this
time last year.
April 10th is the time for
the tax books to be closed and
the law attaches a penalty at-
ter that date. The collectors
urge that taxpayers attend to
their taxes as soon as possible
in order to facilitate their work.

GREAT RED LAND
Is IEAnERI,ES9

Russia is a headless monster
leaderless nation, and bolshevism Is
able to control because there Is no
elective organization to oppose 1t
and no leader in all the land who
is great enough to rally the people
in a movement to set up a govern
ment of law and order"
This is the definition given by r.
S. Dennis, United States vice-consul
in Russia, in speaking Of conditions
in the great, helpless nation which
stretches over two continents and
challenges the worlds sympathy as
it struggles in the grasp of an auto
cracy which competent authorities
declare is worse than that of any OF
the old czars. Mr. Dennis has been
obtained for the Audubon chautau-
qua this summer
Among other things, Mr.. Dennis
will bring home to his audiences the
lessons which all the world must
learn from Russia's plight. His
lecture is mighty appeal for loyal
support of the. government of the
United States, for It contrasts condi-
tions in America with those in Rus
STA; 1t draws a distinct and anthem
tic parallel between radical agita-
ton in this country and that which
brought Russia to her present terri
Bile conditions. 1t translates Rus
sian terms into every day American
words, and traces the Relationship
between the American radical and
the Lenine-Trotzky rule OF red ruin.
Mr.. Dennis is one of the ''headlin-
ers on the present seasons list of at
fractions announced by the Redpath
Vawter Chautauqua system Hav-
ing served in Russia as American
vice-consul, the information he
brings is authoritative, and he is
capable of serving as an animate en-
cyclopedia of facts about the worlds
most misunderstood and most dis
cussed country.

When you plighted your troth at the

Having passed all i'll omens in safety
You welcome this day with laughter
and song.
Mind often reverts to youths care

Hope banishes hazard, faith conquers
fear;
Striving to gain rare coveted treas

Love ever triumphs in unions most
