APPROACHING MR.. AND
MRS. PARKER

AS a token of their high regard for
Mr.. and Mrs. c. c. Parker and in ap-
probation of their valuable services in
musical way to their church. the mem
bers of the Central Methodist church
arranged for reception at their
church on last night which was in the
nature of farewell, as Mr.. and Mrs.
Parker are leaving this week for Pei
ham where they will make their home
in the future.
A large number of their friends were
out, including many outside of the con-
gregation, we'll filling both rooms.
Rev. Langston in behalf of the
church members and Mr.. ]. E. Turner
speaking for the Board of Stewards,
expressed their deep regret at the loss
of Mr.. and Mrs. Parker while Mrs. Cliff
Saunders spoke with similar apprecia-
ton of what Mrs. Parker had been to
the Missionary Society and choir. Be-
sides the talks there were some piano
numbers by Misses Hazel Jolley and
Minnie Lovet; Punch and sandwiches
were served This informal reception
followed the regular prayer services
and is indicative of the general esteem
of the Fitzgerald people.
They will be sorely missed in many
WaVS-nOne more than in their churc h
where they have been long and faithful
workers, and they carry the best wishes
of all who know them for success and
happiness in their new location.

The reading by Miss Helen Williams
was particularly enjoyable, an encore
resulting in another one equally as
good.
The quartette composed of Mrs. L
a. Turner, Mrs. w. A. Adams, Mr.. ].
M. Davis and DIR. L. A. Turner with
Mrs J. A. Parrot at the piano gave
beautiful selection
We are proud of our youngest tai
ented singer, Mary Frances Turner,
who sweetly sang Somewhere In
Naples" We predict for her grea
future in the musical world. 81
-a The reading by Miss Nora Johnson
greatly pleased the ladies' present as
in this the man acknowledged him
self, alone, to be to blame for all do
mestic troubles.
After the program, ice cream and
cake were served until late hour.
Great credit is due the young ladies
and young men who labored for it
and they especially thank all who as
sisted in any way to make this festi-
val success.

No. There is tax of $500 per ST. 600 to be levied
on real estate transfers
Alta boy ssoat my landlord. This is mig taz; saao
it first.
It won't touch your landlord He isn't transferring
his property but holding it and milking you. This
tax will swat the man who might become your land
lord by making it more expensive to acquire land
and build new housing for you.
What nert?
A tax of 21a per cent on the undivided profits Of
corporations
What's the matter aUith that?
Nothing except that corporations are now pretty
well drained. Better let them get their breath.
Many of them have not profits this year, but deficits
You can't tax those.
That's the last tar, eh?
No; one more There is to be a tax OF $25'OOO,-
600 collected by increased parcel post rates.
Great Guns! What's that for?
Don't know. Perhaps to throw business to ex-

Well they couldn't get any revenue from little tao
like that. 1t isn't enough.
Yes, they could The Treasury experts have
figured that such tax will bring between $75OOO0,-
900 and billion dollars a year.
Is that much as the tazes of these Rep@6hccn
Congressman aoould bring?
Twice much.
win this $75Ooooooo be enough to pay the Soldiers
Bonus due this year?
Twice as much az is needed. The Sales Tax Will
pay the bonus and leave big surplus in the
Treasury.
Are you sure you're not talking theory? Has this
Sales Tao been tried dnyUhere?
Yes, up in Canada They are raising 100000
600 year with it now
Much sqaa,oking?
No, it's the one tax nobody complains of.
How about the rate in Cdnadd2
Same as I've been talking about; per cent on
manufactured goods
There's something phoney about this. With simple,
painless productive like this lying around, 1ohy did
those Republican Congressman propose these nuisance
