Last Half Taxes
Are Due Monday

Last half real estate taxes become
due and payable October 81 but in
asmuch as this date falls on Sunday
the taxes may be paid on the follow
ing day without penalty.
Remittance may be made at any
bank or other authorized collection
agency or may be sent direct to the
office of the county treasurer, o. R
Dickson, at Pine City.
Although tax collections in the state
are now back to normal, there re-
mains over $38, 900, 900 in uncollected
real and personal taxes that have
been accumulating for several years
according to the Minnesota Taxpay-
ers Association. The bulk of these
unpaid taxes are from the depression
years.
BY paying up old taxes now from
current high incomes, the association
points out, the taxpayer can help
make new tax increases unnecessary
stop penalties and interest on old
taxes, provide local government with
extra money to pay its debts, allow
local units leeway to build up sur
pluses for postwar use, help control
initiation, and gain clear title to
delinquent property.

BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

During the most recent weeks it
has become clear that Axis resistance
on the three principal battlefields is
more intensive than it had been for
some time. That is the case in Russia,
in Italy, and in the Southwest Pacific
sector; also, there has been step
ping up of Nazi air aggressiveness,
while reported revival of submarine
warfare still is imbedded in uncon-
firmed rumors.
Although all this may be mere
ly the last flickering of the candle
before it burns down, the United
Nations cannot take that for
granted to, they go ahead with
same grim determination as be-
fore.
At the present moment the Rus
slams seem particularly bent on the
task of trapping the Nazis in the
Crimea, or driving them out.
The Soviet victory at Meltipol, the
gateway to the Crimea, few days
ago, was achieved a little behind
schedule, and not yet have the Rus
slams captured the very important
Ukrainian city of Kiev, nor Gomel
and Vitebsk, farther north. 1t is
thought that Hitler has sent reinforce
ments to the Russian front, and that
this may account for the slower So
Wet progress.
But - and that is something that
should not be overlooked: there is
at no point any Russian retreat; there
is marching ahead, even though
the tempo may not be quite as fast
as some people had expected.
Italian Front.
A somewhat similar situation exists
on the Italian front where American
and British progress has been i'm
peded by stronger NaZi resistance;
also, to some extent, by rain and
mud.
A few days ago bulletins called
attention to the reported fact

international News Review

that the progress of the American
Fifth and the British Eighth
Army took place at the rate OF
about mile day.
Until recently, the march, all the
way from the tip of Sicily to Saler-
no and Naples, had been much faster.
But here, too, it is merely a matter
of speed. The situation itself is as
encouraging in Italy as in Russia
in this that the enemy retreats, how
ever slowly, in all sectors, and that
the Allies 60 ahead - bit less fast
than formerly. But ahead they do
60!
Air Front.
It has become a trite saying that
the Allied powers have definite air
superiority over the enemy, and that
is still true; it is likely to increase,
too, since the production of airplanes
in the United States and the British
Isles is growing by leaps and bounds,
while that of Germany is being cut
down by almost inceSSant American
and British bombardments of manu-
featuring centers.
Lately, however, the Nazis have
started to strike back, for the first
time in couple of years, and they
have made few raids on London
and other English cities. But the
characteristic fact is that the raids
have been rather insignificant, hint
ing that the air power of the Nazis
is far less of dangerous factor than
it has been at any other time during
the last four years or more.
New Guinea War.
AS is we'll known, the latest i'm
portant American and Australian cap
ture of an important Japanese posi-
ton in the southwest Pacific was that
of Finschhafen on the island of New
Guinea a few weeks back.
The enemy now is trying to
recOnquer that air base, and has
surprised the Allies by his en-
tirely unexpected strength.
1t seems that in spite of all Amer

Woods Searched
For Aged Farmer
E. C. Ellison Missing From
Home Since Wednesday
Of Last Week.

The woods in the area west of
Willow River are still being combed
at this writing for E. G. Ellison, IL,
retired Bremen township farmer who
disappeared there Wednesday of last
week. He was last seen that morn
ing by neighbor who stopped to
pick him up, giving him a ride sew
eral miles.
Mr.. Ellison was believed to have
gone into the woods to search for a
bicycle he had left there the pre-
vious day, and though he had been
used to the woods, his health has been
failing lately, and relatives are Of
the opinion he became confused and
wandered for some distance in the
wrong direction. Searching parties
later found the bicycle and some
trace of the missing man was also
reported.
Woods Searched.
Friends and relatives of Mr.. Ellison
have been securing the woods and
the area surrounding his home daily
since last Thursday morning but all
efforts to date have been futile. Sew
eral heavy rains have hindered the
search, which has been under the
direction of Sheriff Hannes Rypkema
of Pine county and other law Off
cials.
A large searching party is wanted
for Sunday morning, beginning at 10
o'clock, and all volunteers who wish
to lend aid are asked to report at
that time. The search will begin at
the Aitkin-Pine county line about
10 miles west of Willow River and
will be conducted to the west and
northwest where Mr.. Ellison is be-
lieved to be lost Sheriff Rypkema
of Pine county and Sheriff Ned Price
of Aitkin county, together with for
est rangers, will have charge of the
searching party.
Three Sons in Service.
Mr.. Ellison has made his home on
the farm west of Willow River many
years, and though he and Mrs. ELL
son continue to reside there they
have turned most of the work over
to son, Vernon. They have three
sons in the armed forces, another son,
Leonard, postmaster at Finlayson;
and Ray, farming north of Askov,
and four daughters, one of them be-
ing Mrs. Guy Eccles of Askov.

|RatesAnnounced
For Dairy Feed
Payment Set-Up
Milk Prices 80 Cents Per
Cwt.; Butterfat 4 Gents
Per Pound.

Under the new dairy Feed Payment
plan announced recently by the
War Food administration all Pine
county dairy farmers will receive pay
ments of 80 cents per hundredweight
for whole milk and four cents per
pound for all butterfat sold between
October /, and December 81, 1943.
The payments, which will be made
by draft directly to the producers
are being made to offset increases in
dairy feed costs since September,
1912.
AAA To Handle Payments.
Cornelius Nieboer, Pine county
AGA chairman, announces that the
payments will be made through the
county AAA committee upon receipt
of satisfactory evidence of the guam
tity of milk and butterfat sold.
To simplify the method of obtain
ing evidence of milk or butterfat
sold, the AAA committee is contact
ing all creameries in this county and
in other counties having Pine county
patrons asking them to submit to the
Pine County AAA office list OF
their patrons and the number OF
pounds of milk or butterfat sold by
these patrons. Farmers who do not
sell milk or cream to professors in
this or adjacent counties are asked
to submit their evidence Of sales di-
rectly to the Triple A office at Sand
stone.
Correct Records Necessary.
After satisfactory evidence has
been obtained regarding the amount
of milk or butterfat sold by each
farmer, drafts will be made out by
the county committee to each indi-
vidual farmer for the amount he
sold during the month of October.
Dairymen delivering whole milk
should be sure that the records be-
ing furnished them by. the buyer
show the hundredweight of milk de-
livered, and not merely the quantity
of butterfat in it, since the feed pay
ment will be based on the weight of
the milk delivered rather than on the
pounds of butterfat in such milk.
