talking “Mexico.” Mayor Hol-
land is all but pleased with the
way things are being conducted
in that country and since he is a
p&perty owner, he has t right
to register s kick. Especially
has he the right to kick and
kick good and hard from the
manner in which that govern-
ment has been drawing on him
for the “long green” during the
past few weeks,
Recently Mr. Holland sent the
sum of 67.92 to pay taxes for
the ensuing year. Monday
morning he received a receipt
for the taxes, paid in full for1
the current year, and in the
same envelope was a statement
calling for $19.85 more tax, a
war tax. Mr, Holland says he
would have appreciated the
things more if the authorities
had even gone to the trouble to
use two envelops. When it
comes to inclosing a receipt for
taxes for the current year and
at the same time asking for
more, this is enough says Mr.
Holland.
Mr. Holland owns property in
last Sunday. The attendance
was a little below normal.
The Sunday School hour was
marked by the splendid attention
and interest.

services next Sunday.
