Tax Notice.
After April the Ist, I shall be at
my office at the courthouse to receive
! returns for state and county taxes sot
the year 1913.
The first four days of the week will
e devoted to the country districts. Fri
days and Saturdays only in my office
until after May the 15th, un
til July the 15th, when my
j books close. Taxpayers for the year
1913 make returns on all property
owned on the first day of February,
1913.
It is very desirable that you make
your returns early. The law requires
that all male citizens between the ages
•j r 21 and 60 years pay a poll tax, un
less exempt by law.
Land owners will give land lot num
bers and specify number of acres in
fractions of lots.
City property will show streets and
house numbers; vacant lots should be
plainly located.
I will not knowingly accept a return
ror state and county taxes at a less
value than is made to the city.
It is respectfully asked, and ex
pected, that all properties be returned
for taxation as the law directs. The
receiv • cannot make a respectable
showing on digest without the help of
the taxpayers, which is most respect
fully asked.. Very respectfully,

NO NEW HAT FOR YEARS
Penalty for Violating a Rill in Texas
About Women’s Headgear.
Austin, Texas, April 3.—Because his
view was obstructed by the hats of wo
men when he attended Easter church
services, Seator H. W. Brelsford to
day introduced a bill in the legislature
making in unlawful for any female to
wear in church or any public gathering
any hat or head dress having a crown
or any ornament exceeding two inches
in height or a brim more than four
inches wide. The penalty provision
reads: "Any person who shall violate
the provisions of this act shall be
guilty of a msdemeanor and upon con
viction shall be deprived of the privil
ege of purchasing any new hat for a
period of three years and then only be
allowed to purchase one costing less
than $2 and to be of uniform design,
cost and ornamentation."
Itt’s all righ to talc™ time by ,he
forelock, but don’t try to snatch him
baldheaded. ■
How can you be happy if
>our shoes are not right? The

A poorly fitting shoe is as
out of place as a Madero in Mex
ico. Here we insist on perfect
fit. Our shoes cling to the feet
like a lawyer to his fee. if
