City Tax Board Nearing End of
Labors, to Take Up Adjust
ments With Taxpayers
the board of tax equalizers of
Americus, composed of Charles
Lingo, C. J. Sherlock anc. I’. B.
Williford are n.aring the end of
their labors. At least the wcrk of
the board has advanced to a point
where the body is prepared to
meet taxpayers whose assessmca’.s
lave been raised in an effort to
adjust these assessments without
the necessity of arbitration.
The first of a serie of hearings,
upon complaints filed by taxpaj-|
ers who object to increased valua
tions will be held Monday at.er
noon between the hours of 3 and 5.
At this time taxpayers who have
been notified of change- in their
assessments will be heard and ’t is
expected that in most of these cases
adjustment of diliercnccs will be
reached easily. It has been the
policy of the board, it is stated,
since beginning their work to avoid
increasing valuations as compared
with those upon the same property
as returned last year.
A substantial loss in taxable
values here has been discovered by
the assessors through the removal
of a large fertilizer manufacturing
plant which will reduce the taxable
property lure by approximately
' 15,000, it becam e known today.
1..A8Y STAR WINS HEARTS OF

Critics and public alike have been
asking who the clever kiddie is that
I It ys such a big part in “The Chec
i ahcos ’ the Alaskan motion pictui ■
which i., now showing at the Rylan
<l r theater. H stage presence
and delightfully natural personality
makes h r stand out prominent:).
Wnile this is the first picture, in
which tne youngster lias appeared,
i„ is certain that it will not he her
»ast, as she has that ‘. park’’ direc
tors arc ever ne king.
Lnc youngster’s real name is Mar
guei :te Schecheri and her home is
in Seattle. On the west coast she
is well known under the name of
“Baby Margie” as she has appeared
in numerous dance recitals. She
has the distinction of being the
youngest Bosha toe dancer and clas
sical dancer in the country. She is
a pupil of Prof. Hamilton Doug
las and of Dorothy D. Snowden
dramatic art teacher.
Her teachers predict a sensati n
ally successful career for her and
her work in this Alaskan master
piece seems to bear them out. ‘The
Chechahcos is proving one of the
most universally popular pictures
that has ever been shown here. It
appeals to all classes and both
i exes alike as there is romance, ad
venture, educational and scenic
value, all blended together skillfully

JVhen grandfather
~ was a little boy
Every fall there would come a day when his moth
er would say to his father, John, it s time to see
about the children’s shoes.” s
Shoes were matters to reckon with in great-grand
father’s family. As in many other families of the
countryside, calves had to be killed and skinned.
The skins were taken to a tannery across the river,
and in due time young John would set off with the
leather to the cobbler to have his measure t a ken. /
Old Sam, the cobbler, was a friend of thfe family.
They knew him. They knew his work. They
knew the quality of the leather they had furnished
him. They could have estimated pretty accurate
ly the time young John’s shoes would wear him. /
Those days are gone forever. No longer do you *
know personally the makers of your shoes. Your
clothing, yur food, your furniture, your household
utilities are produced by men and women you nev
er will see.
That element of confidence, however, which in
former days came from personal contact of neigh
bor with neighbor and friend with friend is still
present.
Nowadays, advertising is the bond between manu
facturer and consumer; between merchant ’ and
t patron. ‘ . -
Through advertising, maker and dealer build with
i you their reputations. 1 • . \
Through advertising, they make a bid for ' your
friendship. •
To them, your friendship is essential, and to assure
it, they see to it that their goods are as adver
i- tised. ' ' : ■
By reading advertisements, you kndw where and
what you can buy with confidence.
By reading the advertisements in The Times-Re
corder you know WHERE to buy, WHAT to buy,
and WHEN to buy.
Ele who fails to read the advertisements daily is
LOSING MONEY. The advertisements make it
possible for your dollars to do DOUBLE and
TRIPLE duty.
Examples :
Tuesday men were notified that shirts, pajamas and hats *
could be bought for one-half, or one-third their regular
retail value.
In another advertisement Tuesday $5.00 shoes were be- >(
ing sold for less than half; $lO dresses at less than $4; $2
aluminum pitchers at 69c; as well as 50 other similar bar.
gains.
Ladies trimmed hats worth as high as SB.OO were sold at
SI.OO.
Children’s and misses shoes were sold this week for half ,
their regular price—two pairs for the price of one pair.
In another edition—in fact in several editions recently— s
the finest fancy and staple groceries were being sold for
one-third and even lower than one-half their regular cost.
If you read your paper regularly it will save you
hundreds and hundreds of dollars every year.
It’s not the dollar made—but the
dollar saved—that makes rich
