1922 TAX COLLECTION
BEHIND LAST YEAR;
MAY | is FINAL DAY

Tax collections for the county treas
urers office are considerably behind
the point they had reached at a car
responding period last year, according
to the statement of the county treas
urer, Thomas Ali. A total of 1853, 266
has been collected to date, as compar
ed with $357,11S last year at this time
Ten thousand dollars had been col
lected up to o'clock Saturday after
noon, and indications were that $780,
600 would be taken in by nightfall
The largest amount taken in for any
single day this season was $4,000,
last Wednesday
The collections for this year are
not only less in amount but less in
proportion than last year. it was stat
ed. This is seen in the fact that the
tax rate for last year was lower than
that of this year
May 1 is the final day of grace for
taxpayers of the county In order TO
take care of the rush before that date
announcement was made that the Of
fee will be open Tuesday and Thurs

lows the tap Of the conductors baton {;
then sounded a long, quivering note
from the first vioiins.
But all this Kate Denny neither saw
nor heard. Behind the two men who
had talked Of l;ronofslEy she sat tense
and motionless, her eyes staring
straight ahead, her ears hearing only
the words that had just been spoken:
Gail his life he's been controlled, not
in control. All his life he's done an
others will, not his own. Bronoffsky
isis just what you see, a first-rate
second fiddler
So that was all she was, or could
ever hope to be-a second fiddle.
b. Suddenly, now, Kate Denny became
conscious of the music from the plat
form. It had dropped to- pianissimo,
yet clearly, sweetly, the melody still
ran through it like a silver thread.
Fainter and yet more faint it grew,
until only an airy, swaying cobweb of
sound aoated from the leaders baton.
There was a moments GREATNESS
hush, then deafening applause In her
seat Kate Denny relaxed suddenly.
With the strains of that perfect music
still in her ears, she declared to her
self that only ,selfshness, pure selfish
ness, had made her rebel at getting
'Edith's breakfast, washing Edith's
dishes, and eating Edith's biscuit
centers; and only seltishness again
had grudged Edith the sleigh-ride with
John Kennison that afternoon. This
was not. indeed, exactly a new course
of reasoning for Kate Denny to pursue.
She had argued along the same lines
before. But tonight. especially, stu
under the sway Of those marvelously
blended harmonies, she could see moth
ing but Well-deserved failure for anv
second fiddle who attempted to assert
his own individuality. nse@5
One by one the days came and went.
To Edith and her mother they seemed
not unlike many other: days long
passed. To Kate Denny they were
hardly dissimilar, except, perhaps, for
the growing frequency of John Kenni-
sons visits. Not that she herself saw
so much of him.. but that she knew he
was there, and that his presence began
to mean so much to her that she. was
frightened.
Very conscientiously these days Kate
Denny was leaving to Edith the crisn
brown of the biscuits, and the excln-
sive attentions Of John Kennison-

May / Sees lnaugurated First
General Campaign Of
Kind in Service.

Without the Postal Service, business
would languish in a day, and be at a
standstill in week. Public opinion
won1d. dieof dry rot. Sectional hatred
or prejudice only would flourish, and
narrow-mindedness thrive.
1t is the biggest distinctive business
in the world and it comes nearer to the
innermost interests of a greater num-
Der of men and women than any other
institution on earth. No private busi-
ness, however widespread; touches so
many lives so often or sharply; no
church reaches into SO many souls,
flutters so many pulses, has SO many
human beings dependent on its min
istrations. ~.
"Postal Improvement Week" has
been set for May 1, by the Postmaster
General. This is the first general cam
pa1gn of its kind ins the Postal Service
for several decades. Business men
and their organizations, large users Of
the mail. newspapers, motion pictures,

MAIN PURP 0SE WAS
T0B00S STEAD
Six Speakers Held Forth Tire,
Days in the Swedish Mission
Church.

'The Flying Squadron has come
and gone at Willmar. 1t did not draw
very large crowds, except Sunday
night when the Swedish Mission
church, where the meetings were held,
was we'll filed.
Saturday Frank S. Regan, lawyer,
cartoonist and chalk talker, gave talks
on taxation which were well received
by those who heard him,
On Sunday afternoon Rev. Norma
c. Brown of Bloomington, ILL.,, spoke
first, tracing the history Of the Pro
hibition and suffrage movements since
colonial days down to the adoption of
the Eighteenth and nineteenth amend
mentss to the constitution. She closed
with a plea to the voters OF the Sew
enth District to re-elect A. J. Volstaad
as congressman.
James H. Woertendyke, an old time
prohibitionista who campaigned in this
county in 1906, spoke on the matter
Of law enforcement He stated that
the greatest obstacle to enforcement
OF the liquor law is the large amount
OF liquor held in bond, which would
last at least thirty-tWo years if re-
leased at the rate Of lOG, 100000 gal
Ions year. He also stated that near
~ 200,000,0C0 gallons had been re
leased during the past year, which he
figured was 9S,000,OO0 gallons more
than could have been used for lawful
purposes. The WOertendyke we knew
of sixteen years ago would have gone
deeper into an outrage Of this kind
He gave advice how to report viola
tons OF the law to the federal admin
istrator and said that the large amount
pof real liquor smuggled into use was
largely camoflauged by and blamed
onto. the use of stills. ..,.. .... 49,
At the Sunday evening session Woer-
tendyke went into a long argument to
prove the selfevident fact that. an
amendment Of the constitution was
not effective until Congress had pass
ed suitable laws. From this he led up
to his plea for retaining Volstead in
Congress. The point that the seign-
iority of Volstead on the judiciary
committee was great asset to the
prohibition movement was dwelt on
at length and emphasized to the limit.
The only issue in this campaign the
speaker asserted, was the prohibition
question and everything else should
be forgotten in the struggle to "hold
what we have Won"
Both speakers expressed themsel-
YES to the writer as being opposed to
the reelection of Senator Kellogg, but
carefully. refrained from mentioning
the fact in their speeches or even
mentioning that the Senate might have
some thing to say On law passed by
Congress. This of course would have
greatly displeased the stand-pat re-
publicans
On Monday Oliver W. Stewart spoke
to handful in the afternoon and
Summed Up the Whole Matter" at
the evening session by another plea
for the election Of Volstead
A plea for funds by means of enva-
lopes passed into the audience was
made at each session.

always J ohm Kennison's orchestra =
and as such it's concerts were enthu.
siastically welcomed. Tonight, how
ever, there was no animation no Joy
in Kate Denny's face as she dressed
herself; nor did even the anticipatory
rustic and hum Of the concert room
itself bring an answering flash or spar
kle as she waited for the first number
on the programme
This was her mood when chance
conversation between two men in front
of her aroused a mild sort Of interest.

eyed creature caressing his fiddle as if

The Dead Letter Office has been In
existence ever since Ben Franklin
started our postal service. Even then
people addressed mail to Mr.. Ezekiel
Smithers, Atlantic Coast" and e1-
pected Ben to know just where Zeke
lived.
Perhaps they had Zeke's address in
letters up in the garnet, maybe chest
full of em, but then it was easier to
let Ben hunt Zeke. Today people are
addressing letters to John Smith, New
York, n. Y, or Chicago, ILL.,, thinking
Uncle Sam can locate him, which is
just as incomplete as was Zeke's ad-

when she found herself unaccountably
walking out Of the concert hall with
her mother, while ahead Kate and John

The second surprise came later,
when Kate, nearly ready for bed, APP
:peared at the connecting door between
their rooms. -
Edith began Kate cheerfully, ''Tm

want my window open, and you don't,
you know; SO if I close the door Well
both be satisfied. Goodnight And
she shut the door.
For one amazed instant Edith stood
and stared at the closed. door: then
she darted forward, her hand reaching
for the knob.
Why, Kate, what are you thinking
of, when you know / never sleep with
out that door open,' she cried. The
next moment she fell back weakly
the door was locked. "'Why, Kate!''
There was no answer, but a moment
later there came from Rates room a
little tremulous melody that sounded
for all the world like the whistle Of a
small boy who is trying to keep up
his courage in the dark. s
Long after Edith had gone petu-
lantly to bed, the melody Still haunted

suddenly she recollected 1t was the
