given expression during the evening,

Mrs. Steffens, Mrs. Sibley, Mr.. Haynes
and Rev. Mr.. Mackenzie. The leader
said he would like more than all other
things to see Palisade united in COM
mon cause for the good and the uplift
of the village. Palisade was the most
important place in the world to every
one who made it his or her home, and
he wanted to see everything and every
body united, if this We're possible.
Mrs. Sibley said she, too, wished Pail
SADIE to be united and feelingly said
she wanted the Palisade Union Church

help him along ON his ideals about Civ

taxation in general and of Federal tax
alton in particular was pointed out in
a way that will impress the minds of
all readers. It is true as Editor Lori

Everything is being Detailed ex-

except the tax gatherer.'
"As a rule the tax gatherer is one
of the tax spenders and naturally his
viewpoint impels him to see the ne

taxes. The spender of public money
is impressed with the Importance Of
the service for which the money Is

public and perhaps sincerely believes
