J OTICE within the circle of your personal
Y acquaintance and observation the suggestion
fraught fact that the people who are in the habit of
reading ads usually have money to buy advertised
If it is not already true of you personally that
when you see something you need advertised at a
bargain you can usually take prompt advantage of
the offer it will become true of you very shortly
after you have become a regular reader of THE

TO THE TAXPAYERS
OTTAWA COUNTY
i Ow ing to the fact tli ut the last Le" is-
j lature of tlir State of Oklahoma
changed tlie law with reference to the
(time anil manner of paying taxes I
lielicve that it will save you and my-
self considerable trouble and possibly
exHnse to make a statement in regard
thereto
Taxes are now d ie on the l"th day
of CVtolier of each year and where
not paiil hv the 1st day of January
tieeome delinquent on the 1st day of
February of eueh year together with
a jieralty of IS per cent per annum
until paid The new law make all
taxes payable at the County Treasur-
j er's office at the county seat but pro-
j vides that nothing therein shall pre-
vent the County Treasurer or bis
(deputy from visiting other places than
the county seat for the purpose of re-
ceiving taxes Believing that will
t le to the l st interest of the county
J 1 nod therefore to the taxpayers thereof
I w ill I s in the diiTi rent places us de-
signated Ih-Iow for the purpose i f

I should like to make my stay in
each place a little longer hut twin
to tlie fact that the tax-rolls will not
reach me until sometime after the 1st
of Novemlier 1 will have to necessari-
ly make my stay short
As soon as 1 receive the Tax-rolls
I shall mail to each party owing a
M-rsonal tax a statement thereof at
thy address as given by the assessor
this I believe will save misunderstand-
ings such as have occurred In the last
year but kindly remember that I am
not and you are supposed to know
what prou-rty you own therefore if
you own real estate in this county
bring the descriptions thereof w ith you
and lie aure they are correct

aecured the editorial services of Mr
Flower tlie founder of The Arena and

Initial numlier of which Wars date of
October
It Is the atm of Mr Flower and his
staff of associates to make The Twen-
tieth Century Magazine superior to
The Arena even In the liest days of the

“The Income Tax and the Proposed

Though this review is militantlv ag-
gressive in the defense of the fumia
mental principles of democratic gov-
ernment it is distinctly optimistic in
tone and will acul to the growing
