SAVANNAH, Ca, June 1s.-Nc
city in the country has taken so
heartily to the American tuber-
culosis exhibition as has Savannah.
On the opening day the exhibit
ton was. more widely advertised
than any other occasion the city
has ever known.
Twenty committees of the Young
Women's Christian association, in
GLIDING 200 matrons, scattered
about the city and pinned on the
clothes of every person they met
tag which told of the show. The
tags were free, and were used only
for personal advertising.
In addition to this the young
ladies of the Kings Daughters cal
led up every telephone In the city
and graciously invited the person
who answered 1t to attend the ex-
hibition and to invite other per-
sons.
BY nightfall the whole city knew
of the great display and had gained
personal interest in the fight
against the white plague.

lust ABOUT TO BE SETTLED
Contention at That Moment Was for
the Purpose Of Answering Min

One more comparison should es-
tablish the Scotsman's claim to wit
and fix upon Irish pleasantries the
label of humor.
A Scot minister of the Gospel,
while making his usual rounds
among the members of his flock,
came to the door of a house where
his gentle tapping could not be
heard for the noise of a contention
within.
After waiting a little, he opened
the door and walked in, saying with
an authoritative voice: 81 should

"Weel, sir" said the husband, eff

BEAUTIES OF DESERTS.

Our deserts are to give us some of
the surprises of the near future, as
DR.. C. R, Keys points out. The arid
regions, with an inch to a foot of
rain a year, r by no means re-
pulsive, but even scientific men are
only just becoming acquainted with
their beauties and possibilities. The
landscape is striking. The deserts
are mountainous, yet the broad
plains are the dominant feature, and
the mountains though bold and lofty,
rise sharply from the level expanse.
The earth as we see it has been
carved by water. The deserts, as has
but lately been discerned, have been
sculptured and leveled by the wind,
and the rocks, free from chemical
action, are unweathered, bright and
fresh.

LITTLE SCHEME THAT FAILED

Thorough investigation Of Con-
e~ressman's Affairs.

At the last session of congress
there was a very close division on an
important measure that was pend
ing. A western member was fight
ing the bill with all the vigor at his
command, and his success depended
absolutely on his presence at his
post, A clever member of the oppo-
sition devised a scheme whereby the
troublesome man could be lured
away. Accordingly, on the morning
of the day the vote was to be taken a
telegram was sent to the hotel of the
fighting member. 1t read: "Come
home. Your wife is dangerously
ILL.," The congressman glanced at it,
read it carefully two or three times,
and then started toward the capitol.
The perpetrator of the scheme asked
the congressman what the telegram
contained. He showed it to him,
what" gasped the inquirer,
"and in the face of that you are go
ing to the capitol?'
81 am" was the cool response.
"But don't you feel worried about
your wife,"
"Not in the least was the reply.
"Why?" asked the other.
Because" replied the fighting
member, 81 have no wife"

there is no probability of the switchmen

The report that they would do so is

anticipate no trouble. While the switch
men in the employ OF the Northwestern
system in the city are union men, they
are not likely to join the strikers. The

result. The supply is light, but enough

REPORTED WITHOUT
A BONDED DEBT
Lawrence Leads All Counties

Pierre, s. D., Dec. 1~0.-According TO
the report OF the state auditor 80 coun-
ties in the state have no bonded debt.
out of his list Is have warrants out
standing for less than $1,000 each. some
of them below 500, indicating that all
their debt is In the way OF warrants
which have not been presented for pay
ment, and that they are on a strictly
cash basis. Twenty-Five counties are
carrying bonded indebtedness, running
from $4,000 for Buffalo county, up to
over $500, 900 for Lawrence. While Ly-
man and Gregory counties show no
bonded debt, both are carrying heavy
warrant debts, and would be saving
money by lower interest bonds. The
report also shows that the delinquent
state taxes are growing, having in
creased $50, 900 the past year, the total
of the thi amount on the LIST of July
being $592,672. over so per cent of
this can never be collected, n should
be cut off the tax rolls as soon as a

DECEMBER REPORT
SHOWS CONDITION
OF The STATE DEBT
Next Legislature Will Have to
Provide for Payment OF
$1,000, 900 liability.

Pierre, S. D., Dec. 9.--The report OF
the condition of the state treasury the
first of December shows S347 500 in all
funds. OF this S116, 400 was in the COM
mon school income fund, and IT VIII
be drawn out of the treasury for the
December distribution of that fund.
The general fund showed but $5,Oi4;
The Irvine plant fund was $l03 ,459, ana
the game FUND showed Ss,ooO OIL tna
date. The capitol building fund showed
cash to the amount of $10,2I9 as an
offset on the issue of $114,2 2l warrants
issued on that fund.
The general financial condition of the
state on the first Of December SHOWS
general fund warrants out TO the
amount of SAT- ,496; revenue warrants
for $500, 000, and $135 due the twine plant
fund, making a total outstanding debt,
outside the warrants issued for the
capitol building. of 81, 052, 495. The build
ing warrants up to q date were via,
221, or a total of outstanding obliga-
tions of 81, 161, 643.
This amount will be cut by 1925, 00O
on a call early in January from the COL
lections of the December call for taxes.
After that there will not likely be a
call of any great amount before july,
as the receipts of the March call Will
be needed to take up the outstanding
revenue warrants which will be due
April l.
This will allow an accumulation OF
indebtedness of about a million and a
quarter up TO July, with the expenses
OF the state running abou as they now
are. The probabilities are, Of course,
for an issue of revenue warrants to
AXE up a large amount Of this debt and
keep the interest rate low. The receipts
of the next wear on a levy of / mills
should meet running expenses and help
reduce the debt to a certain extent, but
the indications are that when the next
legislature meets 1t will find approx
mately a million dollars to care for in
some manner.
