WHERE TAXES GO.

The gool old popular question
What is done with our tax money!"
is answered for the year 1913 on
page seven of this issue of the Re-
publican by ]. T. Carruth county
clerk. We published it at this time
last year and the year before, and
yet when taxpayers held an indigna-
tion meeting at the All-Cut building
last December there were we'll in
formed men in the meeting who
thought that no accounting had ever
been made so people might know
just what is done with the money,
and made some very absurd state
ments about expenses which they
thought had been paid out of it.
At that meeting a committee was
appointed, made up of some of the
men who seemed the most anxious
to have things investigated, and they
were directed to investigate ana re-
port as soon as possible and before
the legislature met. The committee
has never reported and so far as we
know they never have tackled the
long columns of figures at the Court
House.
When the ordinary reader and stu
dent looks at the figures on page
of this paper, he sees something that
has the appearance of hard work
and he passes it. We suggest that
you cut out the financial statement
to study at tax paying time wher
protest rises in the bosom.

HOW TO KILL FLIES
QUICKLY AND
~. CHEAPLY

Professor K. |. Smith, entomologist,
North Carolina agricultural station,
says: "Formalin is very successful
poison for flies in spite of many re-
ports to the contrary. l have recently
used it extensively with excellent re.
suits. The method that ! have found
most successful is the use of fOrmalin
in milk with the following proportions
zone ounce two tablespoOnfuls) of
formalin; sixteen ounces Zone pint OF
equal parts milk and water.
"In this proportion the mixture seems
to attract the flies much better than
when used in sweetened water. Tht
mixture should be exposed in shallow
plates. A piece of bread in the middle
of the plate furnishes more space fol
the flies to alight and feed and in this
way serves to attract greater mum
Der of them.
81 first used this poison In q milk
room where the flies were very numer.
GUS and poisoned over 5000 flies in
less than twenty-four hours on severa!
occasions. Over a pint Of flies were
swept up IN this room each time the
poison was used.
Another experiment was used In a
large calf barn where the flies were
numerous. exposed six ordinary
sized plates Of the formalin poison
mixture and killed about 10000 -four
quarts Of fiies) between ~ o'clock noon
and 8 the next morning. This Is only
an Illustration Of what can be done
with formalin around stables where
flies are breeding. could cite num-
ber Of cases where the formalin poison
mixture has been used in unscreened
kitchens and dining rooms and resulted
in killing practically all the flies.
"a good place to use this formalin Is
on the front and back porches, where
flies are frequently numerous and wait
ing to enter whenever the doors are
opened"

THE PATROL SYSTEM.
Great Success Of Government Test
Near Fort Myer.

Great Success Of Government Test
Near Fort Myer.
The office of public roads Of the de-
partment of agriculture has been max
ing experiments on an eight mile
stretch of road In Virginia to demon
strate the results that may be obtained
on country earth roads by continuous
work under patrol system. A patrol
man was employed to furnish a horse.
cart and small tools. and he was sup
piled with road drag built of plank
and required to furnish two horses to
drag the road whenever it was in suit
able condition for dragging. usually
following each rain.
The entire eight miles Of road are well
Travelled. and there is considerable
heavy teaming over parts of it. The
United States cavalry stationed at Fort
Myer frequently passes over portion
and batteries of artillery also use the
road at intervals. A traffic census for
three days last March showed the fol-
lowing daily average Of teams travel
ing over the road: Loaded one horse
wagons. fifteen; unloaded one horse
wagons. fifty-eight; loaded two horse
wagons. thirty eight: unloaded two
horse wagons. forty-nine: loaded four
horse wagons. nine; unloaded four
horse wagons. four: saddle horses.
ninety-six. and motor runabouts, one.
The patrolman was paid $50 month
and 81 a day extra whenever he used
two horses to,drag the road. His pres
ence was required on the road from 8
a. m. until 4 80 p. m.. with one-half
hour allowed for lunch.
The average cost of dragging last
year was $16.11 per mile for six and
a half months. which is at the rate of
$2974 mile for the first year Of
twenty-four draggings. or approximate
ly $1.25 per mile for each dragging of
three round trips.
The use of the road drag has greatly
improved the daily condition of the
road and rendered it smooth and COM
Portable for travel for greatly In
creased number Of days in bad weather.
The department expects to continue
the experiment this year. for 1t Is al
ready apparent that the entire eight
miles Of road will show remarkable
improvement under the systematic
work of the partolman.

There are many sources Of charit-

applications should receive aid and
the unworthy ones receive punish
ment. Fakers can, 60 up and down the
streets at Blackfoot and find enough
generous folks who give without
making any investigation, to supply
them in idleness for some time. and
there ought to be we'll known organ

Oil For Cou ntry Roads.

A most interesting experiment is be-
ing conducted In central Illinois near
Springfield The state highway COM
mission is making test Of oil on
country roads. While oil roads are no
novelty in many parts Of the United
States. they are not known on the
heavy black soil of central Illinois.
The top soil of the road is being mix
ed with an asphalt oil to the depth of
six inches. In many parts of the Suck
er State stone roads are ont Of the
question. Without the material near at
hand the great prairie states cannot
expect to save stone pixies. as do some
Of the eastern states. Good roads must
be secured by drainage. special care
and possibly by the use of oil. This
experiment will be watched with a
great deal Of interest.

II is estimated by the Office Of public

that about 10 per cent Of the roads IN
