The Might Meeting

Across the fields the neighbors go
Their lanterns swinging to and fro;
Overhead are the marching stars;
Restless sheep crowd at the bars;
Underfoot the soft turf springs:
Among the trees the night wind sings;
In all hearts high faith glows.
Going to night meeting.
Tagging behind, the young folks talk;
Banter and laugh will shorten the way;
There is smell of trodden hay;
Old and young and babes in arms
Cuddled and safe from all alarms
Go across the' silent fields
Vending to night meeting.
Hark! from the small church belfry
The measured tones of the summon
ing bell;
The willow sprays, in passing bent.
Give out fragrant. spicy scent.
Within the church the parson old
Tells the Story he oft has told:
Then fervent hymns and prayers
Closing the night meeting.
Back through the fields the neighbors
Their lanterns swinging to and fro:
Overhead still march the stars;
Slumbering sheep lie at the bars;
Silent and grave the elders walk:
In tender tones the. young folks talk:
Nearer to God all of them are,

Auburn shoe manufacturers made
public Tuesday in a meeting with the
city officials statement that a
crisis in the shoe industry is sap
ping the strength of the trade to
its roots and offers no promise of
relief. y decrease to less than 80
per cent. of last years production
was admitted. A cut of about ST.
100000 in the payrollS for December,
January and February under last
years figures for that period. a
reduction to about thirty per cent
of the shops actually running, and
q falling off of 2,1S0,210 pairs of
shoes in the compared three months
period were some Of the specific
revelations. The cause of the de-
cline in Auburn is mid-western
competition on terms that threaten
the life of not only Auburn but the
whole New England industry. 1t
was said that Mid-Western cities
with their offers of free factories,
and free taxes, particularly in the
st. Louis district are competing
with production and marketing costs
that cannot be met in New England.

GOOdceH Gives
Instructions AS
to Tax Returns

Southern California taxpayers
will receive an immediate reduction
in income taxes under the new rev
enue bill which was signed by Pres
ident Coolidge.
Under telegraphic instructions re-
ceived from Washington yesterday
by Collector of Internal Revenue
Rex p. Goodcell the reduction of %
per cent ON taxes payable this year
ON 1923 income will take effect
with the second installment which
must be paid on or before June.l5.
Collector Goodcell announced the
following simple rules to guide tax
payers III taking the benefit of the
% per cent redction:
tIf at the time you filed your
income tax return you paid three
fourths of the amout of TAX report
ed no further payment will be due.
''If at the time you filed your re-
turn YOU paid one half of the
amount of the tax reported no fur
ther payment will be due until Sep
tember 10.
eff at the time you filed your
return you pau 0H1N one iOuTtH ol
the amount of tax reported, you
must pay on or before June ID one
half of the amount paid by YOU
when you filed your return.
The main point to be borne in
mind is that one half of the tax due
from you this year must be paid
on or before june 10.
- In other words if the total tax
due on your return was 1920 and
you paid $50 on March -, you
would have to pay SIS on June 10,
1920 cn September 10 and final
payment of $22.50 on December 15.
This would give you the benefit Of
the % per cent reduction and would
conform to the procedure provided
for by law.
I" Where taxes have been paid in
full refunds or credits will be made
in accordance with II procedure to
be announced later
