Farmers Civil and Business Asso.
citation Meeting.

The Farmers Civil and Business Association
met ON Saturday, June IA. 1918, at Cedar Farm.
The meeting was enthusiastic in its spirit and
purpose to inquire into and aid to its best
ability every movement for the projection of
the taxpayers Of Cecil county. We are facing
an ever increasing tax rate. The present tax
exorbitant viii be increased undoubtedly, and
the increase win be considerable.
In connection with this serious situation,
the following items were discussed, and by q
vote Of the organization personal inquiry Is
to be made into the affairs in question, and q
statement made and printed by the organize
ton for the benefit OF the. taxpaying public.
Two districts, the Sixth and Ninth, being
more largely represented in the local organi-
zation. win be used as basis of inquiry.
First, as to the amount of money expended
on dirt roads in these two districts. What has
actually been done on them, and how care
fully the work has been done and supervised
Also to note what per centage of each farm
ing community are dependent on dirtroads, for
travel and hauling.
Second, to find out the actual amount OF
money expended by the county on stone roads,
and what per centage of the tax payers can
use the stone roads now constructed.
Third, to compare the cost Of building and
maintaining stone roads. with the cost Of max
ing and properly caring for dirt roads, To relate
the difference In cost to the per centage of
service given by each road to the largest num-
Der Of taxpayers. And then to ask why tax
payers are willing to pay for something they
cannot afford and do not get chance to use,
that is stone roads.
Fourth, do we need Road Engineer at a
salary OF sl,So0 per annum, or at IS cents per
annum under the present system j? Are we
getting results sufficient to justify the present
system2 It was the unanimous expression of
the meeting that the Office of Road Engineer
should be declared vacant the remainder of
the year, being useless expense on the tax
payer.
The organization reported good balance in
the treasurx.and ali bills paid.

Gettysburg In Text And Picture

Special 5 Pape North American Supple
ment Will Tell Human Story.
More than fifty photographs and almost
an equal number of drawings help to tell
the very human stories that are embraced
in the Gettysburg Semicentennial Section
of the Sunday North American to be pub
lished June 90.
First in point OF novelty and interes,
among the features in the section is "A
Guides Story of Gettysburg. (" in which Is
set forth the tale Of the great fight as It Is
told daily TO visitors to the scene of the
great conflict. In the text are interspers-
ed pho,og raphs Of the points visited aud
described by the veteran guide.
OF special interest to Pennsylvania
veterans and to students of the battle is
General David McMurtlie Gregg's own
article on the part played by the cavalry
ia the battle. OF the same local interest
is DR.. Charles K Miller's article on the
work Of the emergency men during the
Gettysburg campaign.
An intensely human feature is the story
Of Jennie Wade. The only woman killed
during the battle Its title is The Ro-
nance Of the Hero and the Martyr"
The Drummer Boys at Gettysburg is
based upon the story of one of the drum
mer boys who was in the battle.
Equally thrilling. equally interesting is
every other feature in the section. 1t will
certainly boom the sales Of The North
American for the Sunday preceding the
hisie.h anniversary Of Gettysburg.

Of Dunn-Hanks-Ko -Koetting, and reads
as follows: Arthur Koetting came
to the Dunn restaurant Friday after
noon pretty well loaded with Slower
wet goods, surely the Slower brand,
for he started rumpus as soon as he
could get to it. Mr.. Dunn's assist
ant, w. S. Hanks decided to put Mr..
Keotting out. but Mr.. Dunn took
part in the aHray as peacemaker. and
while trying to smooth over the dif-
ficulty City Marshal Sullens came
along, and by the time he got through
with them had all three arrested, and
Friday evening Mr.. Koetting was be-
fore his Honor, plead guilty to dis
turbing the peace, and was fined
S. 90 and costs. Tuesday Messrs.
Dunn and Hanks had their inning,
Hanks being acquitted, while Dunn,
just an innocent bystander, was found
guilty OF disturbing the peace by US
ing loud, profane and unclean Ian
guage on the street, and fined 81 90
and costs, and on the second count
for interering with an officer in the
discharge of his duty when he tried
to persuade Sullens not to arrest
Hanks, was found guilty and fined
IS. 90 and costs. We would advise
Dunn to join the church, Koetting to
cut the boose, and Hanks seems to
be all right. Bring on your next
