POSSUM CHAFFEE

Col Willis l.. Moore, chief of the United States weather bureau, tells a good one on Frank r. Chaffee, secretary of the Fair association. Mir. Chaffee and Mir. Moore once attended the same military training school together just out of Wash ington, D. c.
 "One day I was riding horse along a. mountain road" said Colonel Moore. when saw the body of a man stretched out in the road before me. came nearer on a tour of investigation, and discovered that it was Chaffee. Great Caesar said I, I never knew before that Chaffee took a toddy, and here he is dead drunk
 But 1t was no time for meditation; something had to be done. So I began tugging away at him to lift him on my horse to take him back to where we lived. In his inconsistencies he helped himself along a little, and between his aid and my very, very strenuous efforts. finally landed him square in the saddle on my horse was just going round in front of the horse to lead him off when that scoundrel Chaffee suddenly strengthened up In the saddle and rode my horse off, leaving me to walk in.
 "It was several miles back to the school, too.'

oodio LII ItSfCHuC We examined the board of revenue from August l. 1907. to August 31. 1911. It's books are kept in accordance with law. The claims allowed against the county are properly itemized and veri- fled
 "The board has been allowing nearly s200 per month for the support of paupers outside the poor house. On it's attention being called to the illegality of such al- lowance, it promised to comply with the law in the future
 "A local act approved February D. 1901, fixed the salaries of the members of the board of revenue at $s3.33 2-3 per month. August 15, 1907, this act was amended increasing the salaries to Sl5 per month and on March 4, 1911, 1t was further amended, increasing the salaries to $166.67 per month.
 Hons. J. T. Reed, Job Going, H. w. Crook, C. M.

Each member drew an increase of s4.56 per month, making > total of s62o.l3, in- crease drawn by each member.
 Section 261 of the code provides that the salary, fee or compensation of any officer shall not be increased or dimin ished during his term of office. ''As to the legality and constitutionality of the members of the board of revenue drawing this increase in salaries during their terms of office. the attorney gen. eral rendered the following opinion: |" Montgomery, Ala, September 4, 1911 1" Hon. J. T. German, Examiner of | Public Accounts, Birmingham, Ala: | |" Dear Sir-Your letter of the 20th inst,
 submitting to me the following question, | received
 l." "Where members of board of reve- nue receive salaries and the salaries are l increased during their term of office, are
 they entitled to the increased salaries ?'' l " Tn reply, I beg leave to advise that | section 2S1 of the constitution of this state | is as follows:
 1.-The salary, fees or compensation of any officer holding any civil office of profit under this state, or any county or municipality. thereof, shall not be in- creased diminished during the term for which they have been elected or ap- pointed
 Members of the board of revenue are clearly officers within the meaning of this section, and I therefore advise you that in my opinion they are not entitled to receive the increased salaries during the term for which they were elected. Yours very truly,

 As to the work of his department in the courts of justice Professor Moore related the following:
 "In Chicago a rich young man was suing his wife, a pure young, beautI- ful woman. Detectives had been bought to swear that she was in an improper place at o'clock in the morning. They swore that it was balmy morning in Chicago. They swore that the lady came to window at o'clock. shook out her hair and the raised window disclosed her taking deep breath Of the balmy air. Strange to say she, could not prove an alibi.

PLANT OF The NATIONAL
SEWER PIPE COMPANY
II -

Indiana, in the spring of 1906 and
purchased the clay land now
owned and operated by that COM
pany. This company, composed en-
|tirely of eastern capitalists, was the
first to bring out the real merits of
the Lehigh clay for large pipe. They
were followed a year later by the
Lehigh Sewer Pipe & Tile Co., which
owns one of the finest plants of its
kind in the west.
Mr.. Hearn soon discovered that
the companies with plants located
directly by the clay beds were more
or less handicapped for want of
room to build their plants on ac-
count of the hilly conditions and for
want of adequate railroad service,
being located on a couple OF spur
lines and having no through lines
passing near the location. After
keeping a carefully complied cost ac-
counting system, he discovered that
1T would be cheaper to ship the clay
in the raw state to Webster City,
where he would have plenty OF room
to build plant with a large yard
on which to stack the finished pro-
duct and at the same time be locat-
ed on two main lines Of railroads,
the Illinois Central and the North
western, than to ship the manufact-
ured product which must come ov-

where it will be dumped and con.
yeyed on three endless belt convey
ors to as many nine-foot heavy-duty
dry pans. On the second story, Just
above the six eight-foot wet pans,
will be located large clay room to
store the clay when ground. Just
ahead OF these pans will be located
two sewer pipe presses with room
for the third as the trade may later
demand.
with this equipment the company
will have capacity OF about zoo
tons of ware per day or from 10 to
liz cars of pipe. It is the object Of
the. company to so equip the plant
that two large kilns Of ware will be
turned out daily.
The company will install Its own
lighting system 90 that on dark
}cloudy days and winter afternoons
no time need be lost. Tho entire
building will be erected az nearly
nre-proof as it can be made. using
concrete for foundations and brick
for all walls. When completed this
will undoubtedly be equal to the
best equipped plants Of its kind In
the country. Experts have been at
work ON the present plans for more
than year and much careful re-
search and study has been spenb
thereon. The company is making Its
larrangements to begin building In
the early spring or as soon as the
frost Is out OF the ground. The most
skilled engineers will be employed
to superintend the building OF
the plant, which according to esti-
mates already will cost about $751;
600 to erect.
The officers and directors OF the
company are as follows: Directors,
