Iniixc'tant Notice.
Wo are in receipt of the following
communication from the Ford Motor
Mo., which Is self-explanatory:
"Our attention lias been called to
the recent newspaper articles and ru-
mors to the effect that there Is to be
a price drop January first. As there
is no foundation to such rumors And
we are not contemplating any price
changes, we have 110 hesitancy in
making a denial of the report."
Now is the time to buy the Ford
car. truck or tractor.
DOI",KING MOTOR CO.
The public will save approximately
,500,000 a month as a result of the
elimination of the war tax on express
shipments, according to George C.
Taylor, president of the American
Railway Express company. An an-
nouncement to this effect was made
yesterday by A. T. Ray, local express
agent.
The revenue act of 1921 eliminates
the war tax of 1 cent on every 25
cents and fraction thereof In trans-
portation chargeed on all express ship-
ments. This tax during the year of
1920 amounted to $17,502,918. The
average transportation charge for
each express shipment was approxi-
mately $1.50 and the average war tax
for each shipment was 8 cents. The
elimination of the tax, therefore, Mr.
Taylor states, will virtually amount to
a decrease In rates of a little more
than 5 p r cent. Mr. Taylor believes
that this should have a tendency to
stimulate business and thereby accel-
erate the rapidly improving conditions
throughout the entire country.
"The American Railway Express
company handles approximately 1,-
000,000 shipments a day, or nearly
400,000,000 shipments a year," Mr.
Taylor goes on to say "The elimina-
tion of the tax will relieve the com-
panv of an immense amount of labor
which has been involved in calculat-
ing, entering on way bills and collect
tion of tax, not to mention the ex-
pense of checking and accounting en-
tailed.
"The treasury department has re-
quested express carriers to advise all
claimants who have claims pending,
for overcharges, or who file such
claims after Dec. 31, 1921, that claims
for refund of tax should be filed separ-
ately on treasury departemnt form
No. 40, with the commissioner of in-
t rnal revenue within four years from
the time tax was paid, claim being
barred by statute of limitations if re-
ceived after such time."
Mr. Ray pointed out that as the
revenue act becomes effective Jan. 1,
1922, th • tax on all shipments for-
warded "prepaid" or on or before Dec.
31 will be collected. On ship-tents
fonvraded "collect" and ..rVTTng op
or after Jan. 1, the tax will not be
assessed.

If your husband drove home with
his car with some of these inscrip-
tions chalked on it yesterday morning,
he was only the victimized innocent
bystander at a wedding and not neces-
sarily polygamist or Mormon.
A wedding party from the Seaton
community, east of here, yesterday
morning stopped three automobiles
in front of a local photographer's stu-
dio and left them parked while they
went upstairs to have their pictures
made. With white ribbons and furls
the five girls wore and the ungainly
smiles the boys couldn't help quickly
advertised that the crowd wfls a wed-
ding party.
Leisurely street strollers, enjoying
the Christmas holiday, very quickly
chalked up the automobiles and were
not content until every other automo-
bilt within the block was chalked up.
This was necessary because no one
knew for sure which cars belonged to
(he wedding party and the "Cupid
special" had to be properly labelled.
The bride-groom, who was driving
the first automobil • to leaue the
scene, was so excited and his heart
was so aflutter from the jokes of the
crowd and such signs as "The worst
is yet to come" on his car that ho
was unable to shift the gears and po-
licemen had to back the crowd away,
turn his car Into the street and start
it off with a push.
