FOR DEAL IN TIRES

George Walters father had to
pay $6S4.25 to get George out of
the city Jail in Moline today. A

Is SOON TO LEAVE
FOR NEW CHARGE

Rev. Mr.. Timmins. who for six
and one-half years has been pas
tor of St Mary's church 1t Keiths-

will be greatly missed by the peo-
pie in his parish, as he has labored

TAX BOOKS not
READY BEFORE
FIRST OF week
Same Plan WIN Be Followed In
Making Collection IN County -
Was Csed Last Year.

I'VE will not start collecting
taxes before the first of next week."
said County Treasurer C. A. Freise
this morning. while the books
are practically finished there are
several matters which make it i'm
possible for the collection Of taxes
to start this week As planned"
The same plan will be followed
this year a. last in the collection
Of the taxes Small duplicate tax
books, showing the description sof
all property, both real and per-
sonal, in the county and the amount
of tax ON same have been made
and will be distributed throughout
the county. There are q Of these
books in every township having
banks. The books will be left at
the banks. Books for the four
townships of the county that have
no banks will be distributed at
places in the township which can
be easily reached or at banks in
adjoining townships. Books fof
Ohio Grove township will be placed
at the Seaton and Burgess banks.
The Eliza township books will be
found at the Bishop store in Eliza
The Reynolds State bank will have
the Perrytol books and the Duncan
township books will be placed at
Joy. The idea of the duplicate
books was originated by Mr.. Freise
and proved to be very successful.
Under this system taxpayers do not
need to come to Aledo to pay their
taxes, but may inquire at the bank
or place where the book is left the
amount of the tax, which can be
paid at the bank and forwarded to
the county treasurer, who in return
sends q receipt for the taxes back
to the bank, where the taxpayer
may obtain the same. II the tax
payer SO desires the amount Of tax
may be sent direct to the treasurer.
This system eliminates a long trip
to the county seat, which would
otherwise be necessary for the tax
payers living in the outlying dis
tricts Of the county.
An efficient Office force has been
secured by Mr. Freise and will start
the work as soon as the collecting
begins. Miss Leota Hause. who has
assisted in the Office both years that
the collecting has been done by
the county treasurer, will have
charge of the Mercer township
books. Miss Gladys FELTON,. Frank
Brown and Fred Jobusch will make
up the remainder of the additional
force, who with Mr.. Freise and w.
n. Duffeld, deputy treasurer. ex-
pect to make the county treasurer 8

developed fresh strength today. In
fiuenced BY signs Of continued ex-
bort demand. France was said to
be- asking for offers Of 10000 BUSH
els. Bulls contended that allowing
for the clearance Of large amounts
Of wheat already sold to Europe. .
close adjustment for tho remainder
of the season was indicated. Open
ing prices, which varied from un-
changed figures to INC higher,
with March 1.67H to 168A and May
1.5S to 1.5Sh, were followed by .
material upturn all around, and
then something Of reaction.
Statements that importing coun-
tries need $4,000 900 bushels Of
wheat and rye in excess Of the sur
plus Of exporting countries created
considerable blllish effect. The close
was unsettled, 3Ac to 4Ac net
higher, with March 1.70x to LII.
and May 1914 to 1.61h.
Despite big receipts. corn ascend
ed with wheat. A sharp falling OF
in arrivals hereafter was predicted.
After opening unchanged to sc
higher, including May at 6SAc to
68%c, the market scored general
gains and then receded somewhat
in sympathy with the strength Of
other cereals. starting 1sc of to a
like advance, May 44Ac to 44%c,
and later hardening for all deliv-
cries.
Seaboard demand for corn help
ed later to lift prices still more.
