EASTER EGG HUNT
PLANNED FOR
COUNTY KIDDIES
Chamber of Commerce
To Sponsor Event
On Saturday, April 13

Sponsored by the Noble County
Chamber of Commerce, the first
Easter egg hunt ever held in this
community is being planned for Sat
urday afternoon, April 13, between
the hours of 100 to 200 o'clock.
Sponsored solely for the benefit OF
the kiddies throughout the entire Of
this county and adjoining commun-
tiles, and in order that they might
enjoy a fun-fest all their own, the
Chamber of Commerce is moving
ahead with the idea of making this
yearly event.
The Noble county commissioners
gave permission at their regular
meeting Monday to use the court
house lawn and it is here that beau
tiful Easter eggs of multiple colors
will be hidden, to be discovered later
by the eager kiddies of six to IL
years.
Business places around the public
square are doing their bit for the
children and each store will be asked
to donate at least two dozen colored
eggs, preferably more.
Each store will give several prizes.
If the child finds an egg with the
name of a certain store in Caldwell
on it, then it has a double value. He
takes the egg to this store and re-
ceives in return a beautiful prize,
selected by the owners. The number
of prizes given by the stores de-
pends entirely on the owners.
Other than the Christmas treat,
this is the first time that the busi-
ness men have made festive plans
for the kiddies only.
There is every reason to believe
that it will prove so popular in the
county that it will become a yearly
event.
Business places are being asked
to have the eggs colored not later
than Friday evening, April 12. They
will probably be picked up that eve-
ming or taken to a central place in
the courthouse on Saturday morning.
The committee has gone ahead
with these plans, but John D. Wheel
er, president of the Chamber of
Commerce, points out that only
through the cooperation of each
business man, will it be a success.
The participating merchants will
be listed at a later date.

Caldwell is still whirling and each
week sees a different owner for a
piece of property in the immediate
vicinity.

Crop Insurance Adjuster
Appointed For County

Carl T. Stevens, Harriettsville, has
been appointed crop insurance adj
Juster by the Federal Crop Insur-
ance corporation. 1t will be Mr..
Stevens duty to adjust all crop in
surance losses in Noble county.
If your wheat is insured under
federal all-risk insurance, and it be-
comes apparent that it may not pay
to leave it stand, the grower must
notify the county AAA office so that
the condition of the crop can be ap-
praised by Mr. Stevens before it is
disked or plowed up. If the crop is
appraised as total loss, the insured
will be paid at the rate of so per-
cent of the insured production, as
the operator saves the cost of har-
vesting and has the land available
for another crop.
Applications for all-risk crop in
surance on the 1947, 1948, and 1949
wheat crops can now be made at the
county AAA office.

armed forces, according to a state
ment released today from the office

their vocation where they left off
when war was declared.
This does not mean, however, that
all the boys have returned home, for
there are still a number overseas
sweating" out transportation to re-
turn them to the United States. But
the next month or two should see
them back in Noble county.

month of March includes: Howard

U.S. S. MURRAYS COMMISSION PENNART AND COLORs
GIVEN TO PARENTS OF SAILOR WHO LOST LIFE AT SEA

Mr.. and Mrs. Delbert Knox, Cald-
well R. D. /, have received the U. S.
S. Murray's pennant and colors that
last flew from her flagstaff-as a
symbol of the admiration and re-
spect which the crew and officers of
this ship felt for their son, Orval
Knox, 20, who lost his life in battle
action on March 27, 1945.
The u. S. S. Murray was decom-
missioned last week at the U. S.
naval base, Charleston, South Caro-
lima. The letter of appreciation and
respect, accompanying the pennant
and flag was written by F. M. Radel,
Lieutenant Commander, in command
of the ship.
Mr.. and Mrs. Knox are the par
ents of three sons, all of whom saw
service in the U. S. navy. Okey
Knox, "a, was recently released from
the navy after serving four years.
Olden Knox, 10, is still in the SER
vice and is stationed on the U. S. S.
Cabot. 1t was on this ship that the
late Ernie Pyle did most of his
writing and the down to earth COW
erage of the war.
The honor which has come to Mr..
and Mrs. Knox is very unusual
one but in itself speaks highly of
their son, who made the supreme
sacrifice.

Lyric Theater Bldg.
Sold To Kirchners

The old Lyric theater building on
North street, landmark in Cald-
well since 1918, was sold Tuesday
afternoon by the William Hill heirs
and Ray McVay to Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Kirchner.
The Lyric theater, in it's heyday,
was at one time, Caldwell's only
amusement spot and during the
reign of silent pictures, it drew
nightly crowds. With the advent of
talkies, the owners kept time with
progress and installed modern equip
ment.
But in 1888 it closed its doors to
the public, giving way to the two
modern movies now in Caldwell.

If the Federal Bureau has selected
Noble County to be checked, local
public officials at the courthouse
have not been informed and to date
there has been no indication that
inspectors were checking the books.
Recorder States
County recorder Clyde Wharton
stated that it is very possible for
an inspector to come and check the
records there and since they are
public, it is not necessary fdc the
inspecting officials to discuss the
reason for their doing so.
The situation may be summed up
in this manner: A property may be
listed on the tax duplicate as valued
at $1,000 and the taxes are being
collected each year on this valua-
tion. But during the current boom,
it is possible that the real estate
changed ownership and the selling
value was $4,000. If the owner places
such a value on his property, then
it should be re-appraised and the
current value placed on the tax dup
Iicate, in order to increase the tax
collection in this county.
Unless there is a change made at
Columbus, no general reappraise-
ment is planned for the county for
several years.
Inspectors can check and double
check tax returns filed with the
county against the income tax re-
turns filed with the Internal Rev.
enue Bureau.
Representatives of the state tax
alton department are armed with
reports on incomes of various in
dividuals, while the revenue repre-
sentatives will check the income tax
returns with the personal tax re-
turns which were filed.
Individual Inspections
However, there will be investiga-
tion of individual cases where it has
come to the attention of officials
that the valuation on certain prop
critics is considered too low. inns
has been brought about through
sale at a price much higher than the
property is listed on the tax duph-
cate.
Profits Must Be Listed
Many federal stamps are beng
purchased at the treasurers ot1ice
TO be attached to deeds which leads
officials to believe that purchasers
are being honest as to the prices
being paid for property. however,
IL is said that in cases where more
stamps were purchased than was
necessary, in order to give the I'M
preston the purchase price was
higher than it really was.
It is pointed out that persons sell
ing property which they have had IN
their possession for at least SIX
months must pay income tax on the
profit they received through the
sale. This profit must be added into
the income received from salary or
dividends.
For an example, property pur-
chased at $4,000 which required
$4,000 repairs and then sold for
SIS 900. the seller would be re-
ouired to pay an income tax on So
nercent of the $4,000 profit.
