CHAUTAUQUA TAX REDUCED
Attorney General Rules Tat Only
Ten Per Cent of $500 Be Paid.

Notice was received by Circuit
Clerk E. F. Elliott Wednes lay that
the Attorney General of the United
States has completely reversed the
stand taken by the Treasury Depart
ment, which ruled that the war tax on
chautauqua tickets should be ten per
cent of the total price of all the ell
tertainments rather than ten per cent
of the reduced prices Of eascn tickets.
This made the war tax for the chau-
tauqua in Mexico amount &C about
sixty cents . According to the At
torney Generals ruling the tickets
will be taxed only ten per cent of th4
price of a season ticket, which is
$500.

Mexico Testimony Remains I'm

Time is the best test of truth.
Here is a Mexico story that has
stood the test of time. It is a story
with a point which will come straight
home to many of us.
Mrs. John Reeds, 1104 HARDWOOD ST.,
Mexico, says: 81 suffered for some

pains in my hips and a bearing-down
sensation in my loins. I had pains in

Pills at the Buckner Drug Co., and

manned permanent"

Another evidence Of the decrease III
the amount Of crime in Audrain since
thecoming of prohibition is the fact
that the Grand Jury cost the county,
less this term Of court than it has in
the last seventeen years, ard perhaps
longer. Both jurists and witnesses
arepaid by the day; therefore the g.
mount paid them is indicative of the
work they find to do.
The cost of the Grand Jury recently
employed was $154.30, and the witness
fees amounted to 81, thus making the
total expense of the proceedings
$165.3 80. Records for the sixteen
years preceding 1920 show no Grand
Jury costs to be so small, and it is
thought that if time permitted all the
records to be examined, there would
rot be any SO small. The Grand Jury
next lowest in cost was the one fol
the March term of court in 1912, when
the total expenses amounted to
$182.70.

WHAT THEY SHOULD HAVE RE-
 CEIVED.

Carlisle Independent:
 Under an act of Congress every en- listed man in the American Army in the recent war was entitled upon hon orable discharge and return to civilian fife, to permanently retain the follow ing property:
 One overseas cap (for all enlisted men who have had service overseas) or 1 hat and 1 hat cord for all other enlisted men; 1 olive drab shirt; l service coat and ornament; 1 pail brooches; pair of shoes; 1 pair leg gins; 1 waist belt; 1 poncho; 1 over coat; 2 suits underwear; pairs stock ings; pair of gloves; barrack bag; 3 scarlet chevrons; 1 gas mask and cant has served with the A. E. F. and the articles were regularly issued while overSeas.)
 If any soldier did not secure all of the above property on discharge, he is now entitled to receive it. Upon request of any soldier I will send the necessary blank to be filled out to enable him to obtain any property which was not given to him upon his discharge. Officers and enlisted men who have returned the gas mask or helmet may make similar application for these articles that they may De issued if available.
 Under the same act of Congress, each enlisted man honorably dis charged since November II, 1918, and before the passage of the Act of Feb ruary 28, 1919, is entitled to five (5) cents per mile from the place of his discharge to his actual residence, and, if he did not receive this mileage upon his discharge, he may obtain it upon filing proper application.
 As a kindness to ex-service men l would appreciate it if you would pub- fish this letter in your paper, giving the soldiers this information, as 1 am confident that a great many, upon their discharge, did not secure the full equipment to which they were enti- tied, and 1 desire to obtain for them any articles above enumerated which they failed to receive.
