The following showing of the actual
expenditures for keeping the county
poor was taken from the records, and
the REGISTER gladly gives space for
the correction of some very plain mis-
statements in Mr.. Kelley's letter of
two weeks ago:
The entire amount paid to the super
intendent of the county poor farm for
the year ending December 81, 1892,
was S1279, Al; from this was deducted
5000 for the rent of the poor farm, and
the balance, Sl079, Al, was pain in cash.
This not a salary, but includes the pay
of the superintendent and the cost of
maintenance of the inmates. The
amount paid for maintaining the poor
who applied for temporary aid was
Sl040,95, making the entire cost of
keeping the poor of Allen county for
the year 5000, SO, besides the rent of
the farm. The superintendent of the
poor farm gets $50 per week for keep
ing adults and S1.25 per week for
children, and this includes clothing.
If all those who get temporary aid
should be sent to the poor farm, the
cost would be more than quadrupled;
for as it now is they can get some work
and ten dollars worth of help during
the winter months will often carry an
unfortunate family through to grass;
while at the poor farm it would take
that much per month for each adult.
The above does not include medical
attendance. xxx.

Concerning The Poor Farm

EDITOR REGISTER: Seeing a COM
munication in last weeks REGISTER
from 7. +. Kelley. under the caption
"What is he there fer" l thought l
might be able to answer the question.
1t will doubtless be remembered by
the readers of the REGISTER that the
Commissioners advertised for the care
ofthe inmates on the county poor farm.
There were bidders, the highest by
the present superintendent, and was
$3.50 per week for adults, and the low
est was $2.S0per week. Now, there are
on an average Tor was last year, ten in
mates, nearly all adults, which would
make difference of about 500 for the
year. For reasons best known to
themselves the Commissioners award
ed the contract to the highest bidder.
NJ Arnold has been charging S10i
more fer his work Tor did last year,
than the contract price, which the
records in the office ofthe County Clerk
will show, the county losing in the
two transactions over 500, which is
more than the rent of the farm.
1 always supposed that person was
sworn to all bills and accounts he
brought against the county.
There are two inmates of the poor
farm who have been adjudged insane.
They are as harmless as children and
can dress and feed themselves, while
one of them can do considerable work
on the farm. 1 am informed that the
State pays the county $3.50 week to
to keep the harmless insane. Now,
Mr.. Arnold has been charging and re-
ceiving $3.50 per week, when, in his
bid about six years ago. he agreed to
do the work for $3.50 week. Think
he should not be allowed more than
the contract price, when others are
willing to do the work for less.
In the light of the above facts land
they are matters of record) it looks
like he was there to draw as big sal
airy as he can get. Respectfully,
L. S. BALL.

How to Dry Wet Shoes.

When. without overshoes, you have
been caught in a heavy rain storm, per
haps you have known already what TO do
with your best kid boots, which have
been thoroughly wet through, and which,
if left to dry L. in the ordinary way, will
be stiff, brittle and unlovelyl II not,
you will he glad to learn what heard
only recently from one whose ex-
perience is Of value.
First wipe off gently with a soft cloth
all surface water and mud; then while
still wet, rub we'll with kerosene oil, using
for the purpose the furred side Of Can
ton flannel. Set them aside till partially
dry, when a second treatmeat with oil is
advisable. They may then be deposited
in conveniently warm place, where
they will dry gradually and thoroughly.
Before applying French kid dressing
give them final rubbing with the flan-
mel, still slightly dampened with kero-
sene. and your boots will be soft and
flexible as new kid, and be very little af-
fccted by their bath in the rsin.-lIIar-
