WHEEL TAKES :.
MUST Be paid !.
BY DECEMBER 9
GRAND JURY WILL CONVENE ON
THAT DATE TO GO OVER LIST
OF DELlNQUENTS.
RECORDS HAVE Been PREPARED
Lists of Vehicle Owners Returned by
the District Commissioners and Re-
ceipts Issued by the Clerk VIII BE
Carefully compared.

From Mondays Daily Herald.
Owners of wheeled vehicles who
have not paid the road taxes thereon
for this year will have another chance
to escape indictment at the hands of
the grand jury. That body has adj
journed until December 8 and in the
meantime owners of vehicles may call
on Clerk Lipscomb and liquidate and
make themselves safe from payment
of costs.
The highay commissioners of the
county have made out an alphabetical
list of all the persons who have paid
wheel taxes by districts. They have
also made alphabetical Lists or the
owners of vehicles in the county as re
turned by the various district commits
sioners. These two lists are before
the grand jury. 1t is, a comparatively
easy matter to compare the two Ger
titled lists and persons who have been
returned by the district commission
ers as the owners of vehicles and who
have not paid as shown by the records
of the county court clerk, will be sub
ject to indictment.
Every delinquent in the county is
urged by the highway commissioners
to pay the taxes between now and
December 9. the date when the grand
jury is to convene again. The taxes
on wheeled vehicles are small as com
pared with the costs of an indictment.
On every indictment approximately
$40 of costs accrue TO say nothing OF
any fine that the court might want to
impose. That the grand jury Is in
earnest in its efforts to force the pay
ment by all of the wheel taxes Is
proved by the fact that on Saturday
some indictments for this offense were
returned.
Since the election and what is gen.
orally taken as an overwhelm YER
ulct against the present ROAD law, the
impression has prevailed in some
quarters that the payment Of the
wheel tax would not be forced. This
is mistake. for any new road law
that may be passed will have no effect
on the taxes for this Year. They have
accrued and must be paid.

PRICE CRUSADE ALSO
CUTS IN BANANAS
VALUE or ONCE HUMBLE FRUIT
TENDING BACK TO OLD PRE-
WAR DAYS.
(From Saturdays Daily HERALD

From Saturdays Daily Herald)
The banana, once considered a
cheap and humle fruit, but in recent
years became ore of the artistocrats
of the table, having scared in price TO
sixty cents a dozen, has joined the
crusade against the high cost of liv-
ing and can be purchased by the doz
sen at retail at thirty cents. This Is a
far cry from the old ante-war days OF
ten cents. but it is Just half of what
they brought in the days when H. c.
H. was at the topmost pinnacle of the
price ladder. It's another evidence of
the increased purchasing power of the
dollar and proof that hogs are not the
only thing that has had the bottom to
drop out in values. ..
