LAST CALL FOR
PAYING TAXES

Saturday Of this week is the last
day on which the tax books will be
open. After that date they will be
closed and executions will be placed
in the hands of the sheriff for col
lection.
There still remains a considerable
amount due on the books and Treas
urer Leaphart is expecting rush for
the remainder of the week. He urges
all who can do 50 to attend to the
paying of their taxes as quickly as
possible in order that all who wish
to settle up may be waited on.
At the close of business Tuesday,
May 10, there remained balance in
unpaid taxes of the treasurer's books
of $26,934.75. The total amount for
collection was $373,464,54, of which
S346,529.79 was taken in. This un-
collected balance represents the lar
sest amount remaining unpaid in
years. AS a basis of comparison it
may be said that last year there were
placed in the hands Of the sheriff exc
cutons amounting to only s5,5OO.OO.
lfile a good many more people will
settle up before the close Saturday,
it If certain that unless expectations
ares exceeded the amount will far ex-
ceed this for the current year. Mr..
Leaphart, however, is, anxious that as
many as possible be saved the addi-
tional expense entailed by an execu-
ton and he urges all who can pos
sibly arrange for money to pay their
taxes to do so this week and avoid the
expense and annoyance of having the
collection put in the hands of the
sheriff.

LEGION POST
TO ENTERTAIN


by the local board as Offices for the
clerical work connected with the
draft and for the examination of
prospective fighters have been select
ed, strange as it may appear, to be
the home of the local Post Of the AM
erican Legion by some of the very
men who were examined in them and
accepted for service.
This accounts for the transforma-
ton that has been wrought in the
suite. No longer it is a stiff black
and white proposition with the atmos-
phere of very grim and serious task,
stripped of everything that would
make it comfortable and attractive,
bristling with all kinds of war forms
and thousands Of questionnaires, some
tear-stained, manned by important
looking members of the Board" and
numerous apparently intelligent and
/: would-be jocular doctors, and clut-
tered with scales for ascertaining the
avoirdupois Of applicants and unin-
telligible arrangements of the alpha
bet for testing their sight-in some
cases, their veracity-, and with un-
inviting gymnastic arenas where as
pirants were put through all grades
of repugnant exercises and allowed
to give demonstrations Of their
prowess. But now the walls have
been tinted with pleasing shades,
curtains have been hung, the floors
have been oiled, comfortable and
'cozy furniture has been purchased
and installed, electric lights have
been added, writing material is at
hand, playing cards are plentiful,
pool on a dandy new table is free,
and poker-no, there aren't any
poker chips, yet. But the comfort of
the men has been cared for even to
providing trays for the ashes Of their
cigarettes, while they may read a
half dozen or more Of the best per-
iodicals procurable.
And you don't have to appear at a
certain time in order to be admitted,
as in the good old days, and branded
a deserter if you failed to show up,
but each member has key and may
come and go at will. And after he
gets in, he takes no orders, for now
he is absolutely lord of all he surveys,
and he may enjoy his authority to
the fullest for all of the windows
and doors are completely screened
and the wood work freshly painted,
so that there is not a trace or re-
semblance Of the former war Office
And you'd be surprised to know how
nlucn easier all lIllS makes lue clllllD
of the flight Of stairs on the outside
of the building. Most Of US carried
heavy load when we used to climb
those stairs, and it was hard pulling.
But it's lots different now.
; The local Post is planning Il recep-
ton or sort of hOuSc-WarminS for
Thursday evening. May 10Th, at eight
thirty and cordially invites all it's
friends and the public generally to
come and see it's new quarters and
spend a while with them in the
wholesome atmos. lere which they
declare it obtains. Details haven't
been finally planned, but announce
ment will be made in this paper next
week, and it is hoped that the men,
bers of the local Post may have the
pleasure of entertaining all friends
on this occasion.
