TALL CEDARS TO HOLD
LADIES NIGHT APRIL 5
Arrangements Completed For
the Gala Event in Milford at
the Plaza Theatre.
RUMORS ARE CROUNDLESS
That President Harding Would
Be in Attendance at This Af-
fair.

Z. Damon HOlzmueller and DR.
Walter L. Grier have been in Phila-
delphia this week completing arrange
ments for the talent for the Ladies'
Night entertainment of Evergreen
Forest, No. 40, TAN Cedars of Leban-
on. This affair will be held the ev-
ening of Wednesday, April 5th, in the
new Plaza Theatre, in Milford; which
building is the finest of it's kind on
the peninsula. This week letters are
being sent out to all the members of
the Forest. These contain return en-
velopes with application cards for ad-
mission tickets. The idea at this La
dies Night is to sell each member
two tickets. One is for himself and
wife (Or sweetheart), the other for
another gentleman and lady who is
not member of the Forest. Those
who attended the last entertainment
of this kind given by the Cedars will
remember with pleasure the fine quar-
tette which provided entertainment.
Plans have been made to bring these
men back for the meeting April 5th,
in addition to which several other
acts equally as good. will be provid-
ed. One feature of the Tall Cedars
entertainments is that only good,
clean and wholesome entertainers are
secured.
Rumors to the effect that President
whose application for mem
bership into the Forest has been re-
ceived, would be present that night |
are groundless. When the President |
comes to Milford to be made a Tall /
Cedar DlanS other than those for an
ordinary Ladies' Night will be made.
Members of the Forest should return
their application cards at once in Or
der that the committee may know
now many persons to provide for.

Time Extended Until Monday,
March 20, For Making Return

As the School Tax Commissioner
for Delaware, at Wilmington, and the
deputies at Dover and Georgetown,
were unable to handle all the great
crowd during the last few days for
receiving the returns, the Tax Com
missioner made the following state
ment on Wednesday afternoon last.
He said:
Because of the fact that the cler-
ical force of the State School Tax
Department is unable to handle the
various returns made by taxable un-
der Chapter 8, Volume 80, Delaware
Laws, the Tax Department has decid-
ed that in its judgment, good cause
exists for allowing further time for
filing returns and it is hereby order
ed that the time for filing such re-
turns shall be extended until and in
cluding the twentieth day of March,
A. D., 1922"
This applies to the Offices at Dover
and Georgetown.

Commissioner Jester made very
important announcement, when he

said that beginning next week, depu-
ties would begin a house-to-house
canvas of Wilmington, seeking the
names of all persons over. 21 years
of age. simultaneously, agents will
go from farm to farm in the rural
sections and from door to door in the
smaller towns seeking similar infor-
nation.
Those who have failed to file a re-
turn, no matter for what cause, will
be given five days notice by mail or
otherwise to make a return and fail
ing to honor this summons will have
their name handed over to the attor-
ney general for prosecution. The law
is very plain on the matter There is
no need of any hearing or trial what
soever. Failure to file a return by
Monday renders very man or woman
over 21 years liable. 1t does not mat
ter if their home is in Reading or
PENIS Grove. If they have resided
here within the last six months, ac-
cording to Commissioner Jester, they
are liable. The question OF voting has
nothing to do with the statute.

but hesitates owing to a peculiar
influence which Belknap seems to
exert over her. Convinced OF his
deception, however, and suspl-
coius of his actions, she is ali the
more determined to ferret out
his real identity. Katherine has
formerly had an experience as

titled at her pretense of being
