state on Uio collection of 1U10 tuxes
and that tho amount of delinquent
taxes in that county for the year of
1010 docs not exceed three fourths of
one per cent. Wo do not like to cast
ntiy shadows ovor their brilliant record,
but we do believe that the party re
sponsible for thiH statement covered a
little too much territory, or he did not
tahc Webster county into' considera
tion when ho doped out his reccrd
sheet. We horeby offer him the fol
lowing figures which arc taken from
"Webster county's ofllcinl records:
Total taxes in Webster county in
1010, $2(1,000.18. Total taxes collected
for tho year of 11)10, ' $220,1111.40. De
linquent $U!8.78. This leaves tho de
linquent amount at less than two
thirds of one per cent

Following Is a copy of a letter Sep
ator Gilbert M. Hitchcock recently
sent from Washington to his little
niece, Miss Kntherlno Doorly, whoso
father Is Harry Doorly, business man
ager of the Omnhn World-Herald:
My Dear ICatlicrlne:
You are a small citizen of tho
United States and your Uncle Samuel
Is appealing to his small nieces and
nephew, as well as his Iar:;e ones,
for money to be used In the present
war. He has asked the bankers to
lend him money, ami the business
men to lend him money, and the pro
fessional men to lend him money, and
now he Is asking the children to lend
him money by menus of savings
tamps.
You can buy "Thrift .Stamps" for
20 cents each and when yoil have got
four dollars' worth of lhc.e stamps,
by adding 1'J cents to them you can.
get a "War Savings Stamp." That
would make your total Investment
14.12 for a big stamp, und then your
Investment begins to draw Interest.
Unelc Sam will allow ou that stamp 4
per cent Interest, and every lhrot
mouths he will figure up the Interest
und udd It to your Investment, so you
will get Interest not only on the $4.12,
but also on what has been earned In
Interest during the previous three
BiontUH. i
At the end of five years your certi
ficate which costs you $4.12 now will
be taken up by your Uncle Sam for
$0, so that you make a profit of 88
cents on each stump.
I think It would be a good plan for
you to got as many of these stamps as
you can during the present war, and
In order to glvo you a start I am en
closing a five-dollar bill so that you
will Imvo more Hum enough to get
your llrst War Savings Stamp.
When you have succeeded In gutting
enough money together to buy your
second Wur Savings Stamp, wrlle mo
uud I will send you another $f. You
tcan go on then during the year saving
money for Mumps und I will send you
$5 after each stamp you aro able to
buy during Uu year up to a total of
Mx.
Thjs Is a sort of a present, huj. ItMa
alo a business. proposition, you see.
