LOSES SLIGO 81 BOX GAME"
St. Louis Saloonkee pcr Is Red,,ced to
Perjury by Series of
Rcbberies.

st. Louis.-John Cicerich, proprietor
of saloon. was swindled out of $9CG
in cash and $500 in Liberty bonds by
two men who worked the ancient "box
watching" game on him in room at
the st. Francis hotel. Cicerich sew
eral months ago was robbed in his sa-
loon by bandits and more recently two
strangers with whom he took walk
robbed him of $500.
He told the police a stranger had
asked him to see friend who was
dying in the St. Francis. In a room
there Cicerich saw man, fully
dressed, writhing on bed. The first
man explained that the man on the
bed was dying and that he wanted to
leave his wealth to an honest person.
Cicerich agreed to prove his honesty
by drawing all his money from the
bank, and was made beneficiary Of the
estate" The dying man placed a
cloth-cOvered package into metal
box. which was to receive Cicerichs
money also and be deposited in the
bank. The key to the locked box was
given to Cicerich by one of the swim
dlers. At the bank Cicerich discovered
that he had been duped. Both men had
fled. Cicerich declared he was now
penniless

MEXICAN OIL TRADE DOUBLES
Shipments for Year 1920 Expected to
Exceed 125,oo0,000
Barrels.

Mexico City.-Figures showing that
oil shipments from Mexico doubled
since the first of last year have been
published by the department of indus
try and commerce, which records Oc-
tober shipments Of 1901 900 barrels,
as against 1S,OG1,2S9 barrels in jan
uary
These figures are striking in view
of the fact that in 1901 Mexico shipped
out 10,345 barrels and in 1910 1884,
900 barrels.
Shipments in 1919 totaled S7,072, 1854
barrels and there is reason to believe
that this years shipments will amount
to more than 125,0O0,OO0 barrels.
Announcement was made recently
that United States petroleum compa-
MES have just paid the Mexican gov
eminent more than 100000 pesos
in taxes.
1t Is estimated that the petroleum
industry in Mexico represents value
of $7O0,000,000 gold.

give to the work of the hog-choera
serum. 1t is unwise and uneconomical
to depend entirely upon the serum to
protect the swine from this costly dis
ease. In 1918 the farmers paid Sc
rum bill of over $5,00O,OOO and they
still lost 100000 worth of pigs.
There can be no doubt as to the effec-
tiveness of the serum treatment, but
the sensible farmer will do what he
can with shovel, hoe and disinfectant
to remove the cause of the trouble. The
threat of cholera is always present so
long as there are undrained cesspools
and wallows. Straw stacks should
never be left from one year to the next
if they are where the hogs can reach
them. Shelters and pens should be so
constructed that they may be easily
cleaned and exposed to the sunlight.
A few days devoted to work of this
sort in the fall when the hogs have
been taken from the pens will do much
to protect the herds of another year.

PICTURESQUE Nantucket.

Until several years ago Nantucket
had its town crier Old customs are
followed as closely as possible Some
of the old streets are paved with cob
blestones, and houses are built of
wood with old wood shingles for a
roof Many fishing dories are locked
along the 0ne.time busy wharves, and
while its glory Is gone the town of
Nantucket becomes more picturesque
every day.

do your duty in filling out the list
yourself.
Only One Escape
There is one chance for you to get
correction made if things 60 SO far
as that, and that is to meet the board
Of equalization ON the fourth Mon
day of June and show them that your
assessment is erroneous. They will
have the right to make the correction
provided you have not made any eff
fort to deceive them or the assessor.
Having neglected your duty in the
matter makes it justifiable for them
to refuse to hear YOU That applies
only to real estate. If there is some
thing wrong for the assessment on
your personal taxes then you may
appear before the board on the first
Monday in December to ask to have
it equalized or corrected, and any eff
fort you may have made that looks
like deception will be valid excuse
for them to refuse to hear you. You
have got to deal squarely with the
assessor and the board of equaliza-
ton or you forfeit all the rights that
you were born with. Wherever 1t
can be proven that you have made
any effort, or lack of effort that is
intended to shield you, from the pay
ment of your just share of the taxes,
then anybody who is camping on
your trail has the advantage Of you
and you are the victim of your own
acts and must forfeit accordingly. If
you fail to fill out your statements
correctly then you are guilty of per-
jury and you are also guilty of that
other crime of trying to evade the
payment of taxes and you can be pro-
secuted, fined and imprisoned on
both counts.
Getting to be Famous
How would you feel anyway in the
year 1921 to be prosecuted as tax
dodger? If you reported smaller
number of animals than you actually
own, the man camping on your trail
would have you at his mercy; if you
report your property and left out one
city lot or any other individual piece
of property, whether you forget it
or not, the person making the in
vestigation and complaining against
you has you at his mercy. There are
always some people who would like
to have you pay the full amount of
your taxes; there will be somebody |
in the year 1921, who is determined |
that you shall pay just exactly your
share OF the taxes as near as it is |
humanity possible to figure it out. If
in the course of the year 1921 it gets /
rumored around that you are a tax
dodger, don't lame The Idaho Re-
publican for it for we are bringing
to your attention all the information
we think you need to handle your
tax problems correctly. II you
should be prosecuted as a tax dodger
In 1921 don't blame The Idaho Re-
publican for it because we are giving
you all the information we can to
enable you to protect yourself
against that contingency. This is not
personal, but it is liable to become
PERSONAL if there is any tax lodging.
There was less than seventeen mill
ion dollars worth of property listed
IN our Bingham county tax roll in
1920, and we think it can be in
'reased five million this year. If you
eft out any of your property when
'ou listed it last year, you are de-
tined to supply part of that five mil
ion additional for 1921 and we are
the records for that pur-
ose.
