ELL $1.50 .75 LAST INSTALLMENT OF INCOME TAX NOW DUE December 15th is the last day for the payment of the fourth installment of the income and excess profits taxes due this year. To avoid pen alty the tax must be in the offices of the collectors of internal revenue o Ijiineh offices by midnight of sih.ic .late. Two thousand residents of the ruined French city of Nieppe held a double celebration last Christmas day. Besides the Christmas tree given for the. 400 children of the town by the Junior Red Cross of America, they saw, for the first time since the war, the great bell of the cathedral which had been buried in a nearby field before the German ad vance. The great bell, the big Christmas tree and the "Bon Cure," aS Cure Van Deel is affectionately known, were all equal attractions in the great festival held among the ruins of the town, i In honor of the Christmas tree which was provided by the Americans, the Bon Cure summoned the men of his district and, with a carefully pre served plan, they went to a spot be side a nearby hill and digging brought out the great bell, six feet high and weighing wto tons, and brought it to the school yard, where it was placed beside the Christmas tree. It is said to be one of the finest bells In France, cast in 17()S and decorated with the coat of arms of the town. It was lowered from the church and buried in 1914, and none too soon, for within 24 hours after it was hid den the walls of the magnificent old church crumbled, and today are but a heap of dust, ground down by Ger man shells. The town was evacuated by orders of the French government, but the Bon Cure remained behind caring for the sick until the Germans enterd and forced him to leave. It was enly when he had gotten the last of his people safely out that he mounted his bicycle and with a great bundle of sacred church relics on his back, pedaled out of the town and joined a group of citizens of Nieppe who were refugees n southern France. The Bon Cure was the first to re turn and out of his slender resources he erected a small school. Because of his labors for all of the children of parents who came back to live among the ruins, the little colony was selected by the Junior Red Cross as the site for a barracks, where more than 400 of the smaller child ren are taught. It was for these children that the Christmas tree was given and when they danced around the tree and the old bell, the circle of parents and Bon Cure looked on and smiled at the promise of new life held forth for the first time since the great war to the town of Nieppe. Inquiries reaching the. commis sioner of internal revenue indicate a belief that taxpayers have 10 days grace on this installment. Such a provision was contained in the 1917 revenue act but was removed by th revenue act of 1918. Payment of the fourth installment mav be made in cash or by money order or check. The bureau of in ternal revenue urees that whenever possible payment be made by check or money order. This method help the taxpayer by saving him a trip to the collector's office and avoids congestion at the cashier's window. Check or money order should be made payable to "Collector of Internal Revenue." Bills have been sent to taxpayers, but failure to receive a bill does not relieve the taxpayer of his obliga tion to pay on time. PRIMARY ELECTION EOU OREGON GKOWERS IS ON The primary election for the: i lection of directors of the Ot'...oii nnimiM fn-nni'i-ntivo associa f 10;i i will close Friday, December 17. (Hi ll. CITRUS FRUIT GROWERS ARE HEAVY ADVERTISERS During the past year, 1 oik tv has been represented by Butz of Pallas, and F. C. Kwk'ir ef route 1, Salem. As there are two large fruit areas in Polk county, the Dallas section and that adjacent to Salem, it has been the custom to elect, one director from each dis trict. It is probable that hereafter, vot ers will be able to elect a director from the district in which they do business, rather than by county lines. Thus members of the asso ciation doing business at Salem ana living in Polk county, would vote in the Salem district. There are 21 directors to be chosen and any member is eligible to run for director. The 21 chosen select an executive committee of five which meets monthly. i n S-ieaidlquailei SLAYER CRABTREE MARSHAL INDICTED BY GRAND JURY for Holiday Orange and lemon growers in outhern California are not only quite prosperous this year, hut navs been in fine financial condition for several years, according ' to C. I. Lewis of the Oregon Growers. Mr. Lewis visited the big growers' as sociations in California ' recently for the express purpose of taking note of how these big growers' exchanges handle the lemon and orange crop. The southern California growers are not afraid to spend money in ad vertising:, Mr. Lewis found. The California Fruit Growers' Exchange with headquarters at Los Angeles, is spending for the citrus growers alone this year, the sum of $(500,000, with a budget of $750,000 for next year. This is just for national ad vertising, the cost on oranges run ning ZVi cents a box and on lemons six cents a box. It was found that while during the past few years all costs were ad vancing, through organization the southern California orange and lem on growers had actually reduced the selling costs, until it was only 64 cents a box, with the actual packing costs reduced to 47 cents a box. Albany, Or. James Ward of Crab- tree, has been indicted by the grand jury of Linn county on a charge of manslaughter incident to the recent death of M. Story, acting marshal of Sweet Home, whom Ward is alleged to have attacked on Labor day when the aged officer was trying to ar rest him on a disorderly conduct charge. Robert Bruce of Waterloo was in dicted for assault with a dangerous weapon upon Dr. II. J. Schenk, may or of Sweet Home who went to the marshal's assistance, when Ward is alleged to have attacked Storey. IJ I I WRfl. QUARTIEIR 5 10 - 15c STORE Independence, Ore.
