AUTO Use STAMPS
PLACED ON SALE

The new $5 automobile use tax
stamps were placed on sale in all
poStoffice and offices of collec-
tors of internal revenue Saturday.
The law requires the owner of eV-
cry motor vehicle which is used
upon the highways to buy this
stamp and to display it on the We
hicle beginning June l.
Joseph .. Nunan jr., commission
of internal revenue, advised own
ers of motor vehicles not to be
misled by false rumors alleging
that this tax has been repealed.
The stamps will be sold over the
counter at all pOstoffices and Of
fices of internal revenue collectors.
The law requires that lne stamp
be prominently displayed on the
motor vehicle on and after July l.
Where possible, the stamp should
be placed on the windshield.
Motors Will find that the stamps
usually will stick better if they
dampen the windshield instead of
the stamp. Motorists may reinforce
the stamp with adhesive tape or
similar aids.
To protect themselves against
loss or theft, Commissioner Nunan
advised motorists to keep a sepa-
rate record of the serial number
which appears on each stamp. Mo
torists also are asked to write on
the back of the stamp the make,
model, serial number and State Ii
cense number of the vehicle.

ing chairman.
Mr.. Liggett will succeed Charles
l.. Splitter, who has resigned as
chief clerk to devote full time to
his automobile and garage business
Mr.. Liggett was appointed June 4
Offices of the Union county rat
ioning board will be continued in
its present location in the Splitter
Motor Sales garage, at least for
the time being. There will be no
further change in rationing per
sonnel, it was also announced.
Auditor Four Years
The new chief clerk, who is well
known throughout the county,
served as county auditor from 1891
to 1884, inclusive. Prior to becom-
ing auditor, he was employed at
the H. l. Huffman & Company
garage, For the past two years. Mr..
Liggett has been associated with
Scott Mills, Inc.
Mr.. Splitter had served as chief
clerk of the Board since May /,
1912. Prior to that he had served
as county rationing chairman from
Feb. l to May /, 1912. He was or
iginally appointed as chairman to
succeed William j. Conrad, the
first rationing chief, who resigned
Feb. l, 1912 after serving as chief
for three months.
AT that time, the only rationing
duties were concerned with tires.
Later, when it became apparent
that the duties of the rationing
program would include a much
larger list of commodities, and
that a vastly increased personnel
was necessary, Mr.. Splitter accepted
the position as chief clerk. Mr..
Frederick was then named chair
man to succeed him.
Came Here In 1885
Mr.. Splitter entered the automo-
bile business in Marysville Jan. 5,
1895. Prior to that, he had oper-
afed y garage ia Milford Center
since March |, 1928. In all that
time in the automobile business he
has represented Chevrolet eXclus-
lively.
At the present time, he is vice
president of the Marysville Board
of Education. He is also a former
member of the village council,
haveing served two terms on that
body.
AS chief clerk of the rationing
board, Mr.. Splitter has been ex-
tremely capable and we'll liked.
Often, he has been forced to carry
out governmental regulations un-
popular with the general public,
but has served with a tact and
fairness which has met with APP
proval from all.

buted tremendously toward the
sale of 7th War Loan securities
when il was here recently. In a
letter to Gen. Joseph w. StilWen,
Drive Chairman Lloyd Wall de-
clared:
"InaSmuch as our individual quo
Ia stood at 35 percent the day be-
fore the unit arrived and reached
SO percent the day after they left
town, / believe we can conserva-
lively estimate that Here's Your
Infantry directly and indirectly
raised 20 percent of our 7th War
Loan quota.
The officers. and men OF the
Unit No. 26 were well trained, po-
lite, and exemplary in conduct, and
it was a pleasure to have them in
MarySville.
Mr. Wall has also written to Gen.
Robert s. Beightler, to thank him
for sending the two pairs of major
general stars which he wore into
Manila as commander of the 37th
Division. The stars sold for $4,000

one pair going to a Milford Center
man and the other to a Marysville

that their names be withheld.
Your spirit and influence has
helped us a great deal in this
toughest of all War Bond Drives,
and we sincerely thank you Mr..
Wall wrote
Another $4,000 in bonds has been
sold to matrons and inmates at the
Reformatory for Women, and this
is expected to be doubled before
