Association.

Aside from the extra service
sven in the distribution of Christ

H,he association last month, as COM
,ared TO $50 in November, and 697
IN December, 1920.
This report was made this
sternoon by Mrs. Mary E. Morgan,
ace secretary, at the meeting of
M association at the Y. M. G. A.
ca great was the work during De-
amber, that last Saturday the
vorkers cared for IS families,
fotaling several hundred individ-
uais. in one day. This meant that
Zach was given clothing and food.
December's records surpassed
all others in all ways. There were
az Office calls, 165 new cases and
lg3 old cases handled, $50 orders
were filed, and 1S3 calls made at

Plush coats
reduced O
fourth

A reduction of one-fourth on plush coats
is indeed a generous one in view OF the fact
that we carry only the highest type and the
most expensive garments on the market and
that this year we gave women the opportulIn-
ity to purchase their plush coats early in the
season by making the prices extremely low.
We have a complete assortment of models
many of them were purchased on the last
trip to New York Some have fur collars,
Others are plain and straight of line; some
are short some long, while most of them are
three-quarter length; all are lined through
out; all sizes and all prices are to be found

IOWA TAXES TO BE LESS
Contribution to Uncle Sam to Show
Material Decrease.

Income tax returns are now practi-
cally all in for the 1921 period. Be-
fore this country entered into the
war with Germany the internal re.
venue collector at Dubuque, acting
for the entire state, received about
100000 from income tax collections.
Since that time all manner of tax
ing features have been added and
large increases to a plain income
tax have been demanded, so that now
Iowa contributes thru the internal
revenue department something over
S4,000,000. Going from a half mil
lion to over four million represents
the distance in a financial way be-
tween peace and war. The vast sums
now necessary must be continued for
many years, and we will probably
never again get back to the small
contribution that pre- war conditions
exacted.
1t is announced from the internal
revenue Office that the number of
returns to be made during 1922 will
be greater, but the amount of taxes
will be less. Increased exemptions,
the clause providing for returns
where gross incomes exceed $1,000
and general lassitude of business will
all contribute to make returns of
1922 less than for this year.

FORECLOSED LAND SMALL IN
ACREAGE
But the Mortgages Are Immense in
Cass County. o.

Atlantic, Iowa-Five Cass county
farms, aggregatihg 900 acres, are
being sold under the hammer this
week to satisfy mortgage liens total
ing more than quarter of a million
dollars.
In number of farms, total acreage
and aggregate mortgage liens, this
exceeds any previous weeks record
in the history of the county, declares
Sheriff Will A. Mckee, who is con-
Quoting the sales under order Of the
District court.
The claims to be satisfied aggre-
gate $239,000, or an average of
S265 an acre on the 900 acres. 1t
is doubtful if the land will sell for
more than enough to satisfy the
mortgages.
The largest mortgage in the list
is for $4,000 and is on a farm of
240 acres. There are two other
mortgages for $4,000 each, one for
$31 600 and another for $4,000.
Within a few days Sheriff Mckee
will dispose of two more farms un-
der execution. The acreage in the
two is 315 acres and the mortgages
total $150,000. 80.
Including two farms sold earlier in
the winter and those being sold this
week and the two Last mentioned,
