Who Pays
Slo1lS.

The recent audit made of the Com
missioners' Office in Talbot county has
raised question that is more or less
agitating every county in the State.
The Auditor, in his report, said:
I'VE notice that your board is pay
ing the expenses of certain offices
which are conducted on fee basis.
We are not certain whether or not this
is permissible and are not making a
point of it other than to call same to
your attention in order that you might
give the matter consideration.
The auditor was referring to the
fact that the county was paying for
the court records, etc., for the offices of
the clerk of the court and register of
wills, following the custom of years.
The commissioners of nearly every
county in the tSate are doing as Tai
bott has done in paying for the Court
supplies, ETC., and have had no idea
that the custom was without warrant
until the question was raised by the
Auditor. Talbott's County Commits
sioners have referred the matter TO
their legal counsel for advice. Mean
while this new question is agitating
many minds in the county offices

Potash Cut OFF

One of the collateral features of
the present European conflict, that
will be of great interest to farmers
and fertilizer people, is the prospect
of a shortage in potash. The Kali
Syndicate of Germany supplies pretty
much all the potash that is used in
our commercial fertilizers and until
peace is restored in Europe no more
potash will be available from that
source. Unless the Fertilizer manu-
facturers carefully conserve their
present stock of potash, the output of
such fertilizers will be in a very seri-
Gus condition in the near future
possibly for a year or two.
