lA*st you forget, we again call your attention to the
fuct that this is the last month in which to pay your
Poll Tax thus qualifying yourself to take part in im-
portant political matters that will come up during the
year of 1920.
To the ladies we wish to say that it is just as im-
portant that you pay your poll tax as it is for the men
to do so. No doubt 1920 will he one of the hottest
political years in the history of Texas. By paying
your |>oll tax you will not only be qualified to take a
part in the issues that will come up, but the larger per
cent of the $1.75 you pay in will go into the sadly de-
ficient school fund.
Think and act NOW.
