Beware the Fat Oyster.

Many people seem to regard the
plump white oysters, so often served
now in restaurants, as preferable to
the grayish, thin oysters that the gour-
mand is accustomed to consider the
luscious delicacy best suited to his
taste. Because of this false taste, oys-
ters are bleached and rendered plump
by dealers on the way to local markets.
Normally, oysters are accustomed to
sea water. II they are removed there
from and placed in fresh water for a
time they become much whittier than
before and apparently grow fat, be-
cause they absorb the fresh water.

fail to pay their taxes before that
time will be assessed the additional
penalties provided by law. Sheriff
Linville and his deputies are now MAX

Under the new law property owners
have been enabled to pay their taxes
In two installments. The second in

are largely second halves Although
this years roll amounted to almost
$l7400O. only about $4,000 will be col

having very generally made full pay
ment.
OF the balance of about $4,000 re-

collected from those land owners who
took advantage of the installment plan.
This will reduce the amount to about

BILE portion of this $4,000 will doubt

that the delinquent roll will be small

The timbermen protested against the
increased valuations this year. Ir
many instances timber land valuations
were materially raised and the timber
men, acting concertedly. declined tC
make payment. They offered to COM
promise, but the county refused TO ac-
cept anything less than the amounts
assessed. The big owners who are
still delinquent are C. H. Wheeler
Charles A. Rust, the Whitney Com
pany, Blodgett & Co.. John E. Dubois
and O.. A. Ritan. The last-named has
paid his individual tax, but has failed
to settle the assessments against his
partnership holdings. Should a few
of the delinquent timbermen pay up
the roll will be very small October 4
Considering the increased valuations
this year collections have been excel
lent.
