AMERICAN FORCES NEEDED IN HAITI Washington, Feb. 13.?The United States having "put its hand to the plow" in Haiti, must not now turn back through withdrawal of the American forces there, Rear Admiral H. S. Knapp declared today in a report in which he presented inrtihai form the results of his investigations in the island republic for the navy and state departments. ' \ Agitation against the American occupation of Haiti, Admiral Knapp asserted, is inspired by a desire on the part of a small group who, he said, represented at the most less than 5 per cent, of the population. This group of agitators, he added, are working to gain a hearing and the sympathy of the people of the United States, although their real object is to obtain aborgation of the treaty t between the United States and Haiti -and to bring about a return of the old conditions of government. "Could this .be attained," Admiral Knapp in his report continued, "I think that 999 out of every 1,000 RUB MY - T1SM Is a powerful Antiseptic and Pain killer, cures infected cuts, old sores, tetter, etc. Relieves Sprains, Neuraleia, Rheumatism.

In other words, the Haitians, even the worst agitators among them, would be willing to have the j United States act the part of policemen and otherwise leave them to LlltTXl u%\ li UCVH.^,N "The people of the United States," the admiral's report said, "should not allow themselves to be deceived by the words 'republic of Haiti' into believing that there exists in Haiti or ever has a republic in any true sense founded upon the expressed will of an intelligent ar.d educated electorate. The socalled republic of Haiti, left to itself has been a tyrannical oligarchy in which those in power fastened upon The vast mass of the population, while those of the governing class out of power sought every opportunity to get into power by fair means or foul, with the .same corrupt personal ends in view. Tranquility and security now exist in \ Haiti practically throughout the country. From all that I can gather, persons can move about the republic on their lawful occasions without fear of molestation. This is the direct result of armed intervention." THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK BRIGHTENS The busines outlook is much brighter than it was thirty or sixty days ago. Business itself has not yet TAX NOTICE. According to law the Counts* Auditor will add the following pesalties: On January 1st, 1921. 1 per cent, penalty will be added to those who have not paid. On February 1st, 1921, an additional 1 per cent, will be added to those who have not paid, making 2 per cent, penalty for February. Still an additional 5 per cent, penalty will be added on March 1st, making 7 per cent, penalty to be paid by those who have not paid by March 1st, 1921. Poll Tax, $1.00: Capitation Road Tax, $5.00; Capitation Dog Tax, 50c. TAX BOOKS CLOSE MARCH 15, 15)21. "When remitting give each Township and School District your property is in.

A few weeks ago nobody could predict confidently how far the spirit of I panic might go. There were prediction of wholesale failure, after Jan| uary 1. These seem not to have j come. There was even a tear that a money panic, with disastrous runs on J banks, might come before the business depression ended. This is no longer anticipated. We have turned the corner. Recovery may be slow, but it is on the way. The banks have been able to take care of the imperative needs of nearly every properly conducted business. They would have been able to take care of the farmers if we had a properly developed marketing and warehouse system. The Federal Reserve Act has also given elasticity to our Red Ru? SEED \ I .

We may soon have again, not the flush times of war days and post-war days, but at least decently good times, if other business now will only share losses with the farmer and reduce other prices as prices of farm product? have oeen reduced.
