The True Recipe for Success

rs doing your job the best YOU can
And being just to your fellow man;
It's making moncy--but holding friends.
And staying true to your aims and ends
It's figuring how and learning why,
And looking forward and thinking high,
And dreaming little and doing much
It's keeping always in closest touch
With what is fines, in word and deed;
Its being thorough. yet making speed;
It's daring bthey the field OF chance
While making labor brave romance;
It's going onward despite defeat
And fighting staunchy but keeping sweet;
is being clean and it's playing fair;
It's laughing lightly at Dame Depair;
It's looking up at the stars above.
And drinking deeply Of life and love;
It's struggling ON with the will to win.
But taking loss with cheerful grin;
It's sharing sorrow and work and mirth.
And making better this good old earth;
It's serving. strvng through stran ad stress.
It's doing your noblest that's successl

ALL RETURNS must be made un-
der oath of personal property re-
turned at its market value.
Persons not making their returns
between January /, 1921 and Feb.
ruary 20, 1921, are liable to a penal
ty of so per cent. This penalty will
be enforced against delinquents: for
the failure to enforce it heretofore
has put on neglect of the law.
The returns of those who conform
to the law are placed before the
Township and County Boards, while
those vino disregard the law come in
after the meeting of the Boards and
return to suit themselves. The en-
forcement of this so per cent penal
ty will correct this evil.
Returns will not be taken by mall
unless they are sworn to before
some proper officer. All improve
ments or any transfer of real estate
must be reported to the Auditor.
Employers are requested to return
all their employees after notifying
them and getting statement Of
their property
All tax returns must be made by
