The game will j begin at 8:30 o'clock and the ad-J mission will be 25c for adults and | 15c for children under 12. An added attraction will be the Donkey Derby which will be run | just before the game. Local dig nitaries have been selected to be the jockeys. The winning jockey will receive a beautiful hand painted, red plush pillow. The committee in charge of selecting the players for Donkey j Baseball game and ' » jockeys feel that they have organized two outstanding teams and a field of jockeys that cannot be surpassed. Much time and care was spent by the committee members in search for men who understand mule psychology and temperament All the players must ride don keys but they get their feet on the ground once in awhile. (Need less to mention there are occas ionally other parts of the players' anatomies on the ground.) It is when they are batting that the men get to rest from riding. How ever, as soon as the batter hits the ball he must aboard a donkey to ride to first base. The Bar X Ranch troupe of baseball donkeys are said to be in tip-top shape for the battle. The frisky little jenny, "Mae West," is Aid to be in particularly good shape. Stokes Farmers May Be Refunded For Taxes Paid Under Kerr-Smith Act All farmers who paid a tobac co tax under the Kerr-Smith Act, ;in 1934, 35 are entitled to a re- I fund of the tax. In order to se j cure the refund it is necessary to file a claim on the regulation form I j "T. A. Form 110' which is now | i available; and also to file proof 1 of the cl;'.im with the form. All farmers who paid the ta:: are entitled to a refund. This • eludes not only those who did not j sign up under the act but al:-.o 1 those who signed u,i and soil ' more tobacco than they were ai loted. Those farmers who filed a claim °n the old form, "T. A. Form 113"j must file their claims again on a new form "T. A. Form 116" in or der to recover the tax. They must also file proof with their new claim, even if they filed proof with their old claim. It is noi j sufficient to refer to the proof filed with the old claim. | The forms arc now available j and must be filed between June 25. 193S and July 1, 1939 in order to be recognized. The proof which necessarily must accompany the claim con sists of the bills of sale of the to bacco on which the tax was paid, i or certifiled copies of the bills of sale in case the originals have been lost. I It is impossible to estimate ac- j curately the amount of taxes j that will be refunded to the far-i mers of North Carolina, oi the j amount that will be refundel toi i the farmers of Stokes county, but I 'they are entitled to recover all of. ' the taxes that they paid under j that above mentioned act in the j years 1931 and 1935, and it is \ believed that the farmers of ! Stokes county will take advantage l of the act of the last session of congress and file their claim with in the statutory period. i Wall Street (By C. R- Wall.)
