To do it, we’ve got to lend Uncle Sam 13 billion extra dollars. To date, in the second war loan drive, Hermiston is lagging in bond purchases. It isn’t easy—but war isn’t easy and Victory isn’t cheap. It takes money— and more money—to buy planes, ships, tanks, guns and a million other things our boys must have to de liver that final knockout punch. Let’s help them. So dig deep.

CHANGES LISTED IN TAX LAWS A bill pased by the last legislature is of interest to a large number of tax payers in Umatilla county paying their taxes under the Hess law. This original law was passed in 1936 and provided for the payment of the cur rent tax and at least one-fourth of the oldest year of delinquency each calen dar year, in order to have interest on certain years of taxes remitted. Senate bill No. 271 enacted by the recent legislature substitutes the date of August 15th in place of Dec. 31st as the final date for payment of each year to secure the waiver of interest on delinquent taxes, and also termi nates at August 15, 1944, any waiver of interest on all delinquent taxes on real property, which means that there will be no more benefits under this law after August 15, 1944. It also terminates at August 15, 1943, all waiver of interest on delin quent personal taxes which means that all delinquent personal taxes be ing paid ander this payment plan will not receive further benefits by the law. _________ __ NUMBER 36 EASTER MUSIC SUNDAY NIGHT RAINS PROVE TO BE OF BENEFIT week have proven a boon to garden enthusiasts.

Al though several changes have been made, the property has remained in the hands of home-town people and no new-comers have been listed. Heading the list this week is the purchase of the Thompson Drug store by Sam Moore and Glenn Ripley from Mr. and Mrs. Harold Thompson who have operated the concern for the past several years. The change-over will be made May 1, according to Mr. Rip ley and Mr. Moore who will each own one-half of the business. ■ The deal includes the building, equipment and merchandise. Mr. Thompson has not annouced his future plans but indi cated that he would remain in the store for the time being to assist the new owners. The Igloo Inn is also in new hands. Guy Cronk, who last week announced that he planned to open a cafeteria, decided at the last minute that he did n’t want to go into the restaurant bus iness. Information now is that John Henry Nye and Sam Nye have leased the firm and will operate the bar side, sub-leasing the lunch counter. Work is expected to get underway immed iately to get the place in shape. Naomi’s Beauty Shop also has new owners. Last week arrangements were completed whereby Mr. and Mrs- Edgar Saylor took over the interests of Miss Naomi Brownell in her beauty establishment on Main street.
