Talked With the Mayor.
II talked with the mayor of Rome.
said Mr.. George His name is Nathan
and he was very much interested in
learning about Washington. He said it
had been described to him as IA most
wonderful city. Then he started in to
tell me of the troubles which the city
was having with real estate sharks. He
did not know my real estate views at all.
but the situa ton he outlined was most
interesting to me-.
Seated in the mayors Office. Repre-
sentative George heard OF the develop
ments in real estate in Rome which had
been going on recently. The old city.
which rose to the height of empress of
the world, and which furnishes Latin
text books with seven eight thousand
sentences for schoolboys to parse. is
now cramped and out of date. The old
chariot ways do not lead to modern
Roman Chevy Chase. but wind heller

walls on which friend Nero sat and
played alleged tunes upon his tabled fd-

The modern city wishes to extend itself.

plumbing in muse ha flowed clay YET
wherever the city goes the people find
that real estate sharks have bought UP
all the land long ago, and are holding it
at fancy figures.
Now, to put a penalty on this-which
Mayor Nathan told Representative
George was retarding the growth of
Rome outside the old walls-a tax has
been laid. 1t is a two-edged tax 1t taxes
the land at the value which the owners
put on 1t, and the law makes it abso-
lutely incumbent upon the owners TO ac-
cept that tax valuation in case of sale
1t was this feature which interested
Representative George, whose real estate
legislation is not yet completed for the
District.
II have seen many instances of this
situation in America. he said. but the

49, -
When the cut-Over agricultural
lands have been turned over to the
commissioners by the settler subject
to preferential re-purchase. the CON-
nissicners shall give he settler sell
ing the tract the preference, when
letting contract for clearing and i'm
proving same, providing he accepts
the sale terms and conditions speci-
fled by the commissioners. 1t is
therefore clearly seen that any set
tier wishing to have 20 acres of his
land cleared practically gets it done
at his own price, for he can do it
himself and get paid for it, then hav.
ing twenty years in which to make
all payments.
The Settlers Agency plans to assist
in establishing an agricultural devel-
opment district on 1000 acres of
Humptulips river land in this county,
making it one of the first sections
in the state to take advantage of the
new law. This land is held at $3.50
an acre. Should district be Great
ed, the settler will turn over to the
district 20 acres for which he would
receive $3.50 per acre, or the sum
of $3.50 assuming the land was ap-
praised at that price, so he really
would make no investment in the
land.
The commissioners call for bids for
improving this 20 acres, and the set
| tier agrees to clear it for, say $50
per acre, being $1,000, or total con-
sderation of $3.50. Add to this the
per cent administration charge, be-
ing $3.50, making the total sum ST.
ALSO. Divide this amount by 20
years and you have S7S75 which the
settler must pay annually. plus per
cent interest on deferred payments,
which is paid each year until fully
paid.
In this manner the settler gets the
use of 20 acres of improved land,
without really putting in any money.

For cherry shortcake make soft
dough by mixing together two cupfuls
of flour sifted with heaping teaspoon
full. of baking powder, teaspoonful'o of
salt and half cupful Of shortening,
which may be half each of butter and
lard or bacon fat. Add two tablespoon
fuls Of sugar and mix with well
beaten egg. Add enough milk to make
the dough of the right consistency.
Roll out in two layers and bake in the
same pan with flecks of butter be-
tween.
When baked the two layers will sep
arate easily. The cherry filling should
be in readiness to spread between the
shortcake and on top. Large ripe
cherries are pitted and crushed slightly
in bowl with sugar. Taste tile Juice
to tell If it is sweet enough. Prepare
the cherries some time ahead and you
will find them much nicer. Serve with

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.
Treatment Of Burns.

The toxic factor is regarded
by many physicians as the most
important one to combat when
dealing with a case Of severe
burns. The routine practice is
to swab the burnt surface gent
ly with benzine and then to pow
der it thicikly with novoiodine
powder and to cover it with
gauZe. No attempt to render the
skin absolutely aseptic is made.
Morphia and anaesthetics are
avoided as tending to promote
or increase shock.
When pain Is very severe
anaesthesin powder is also used.
This is both antiseptic and anal
gestic. The old dressing is re-
moved in a bath when necessary
and the process repeated. Bis
tiers are shipped before the novo-
iodine is applied. Cardiac slim
ulants are given freely. and a
great point in the treatment Is
copious saline infusion, which Is
stated to have given admirable
results. All wet dressings, ONT
ments and sedative drugs are
avoided religiously.
