CROPS IN POLK COUNTY

REPORTS from the districts below the
mountains show that crop conditions IN
Polk county, in some respects, are the
best ever known in its history.
It is said the wheat crop is the best and
largest ever harvested and this condition
extends to most of the counties IN East
Tennessee.
Corn in thin lands is not doing very
we'll, but in the good lands the prospects
were never better.
There will be practically no hay in Polk
county, the dry weather of April and May
having literally burned it up. Cotton IS
much in the same shape, and there will be
little gathered in Polk county this year, as
compared with others.

MIGHTY NIMRODS.

&c. Crawford and John Allen, accomPa-
MED by their famiIie, hied themselves away
to Appalachia, Sunday, to rest in cooling
breezes that abound in that region.
AS f. C. bought about Sl3 worth OF
tackle and was heard figuring with the To-
cal express agent as to what the rate was
on car load lots, there was suspicion IN
the minds of many that the river would be
depleted of the hnny tribe.
An inventory of their possessions, upon
their return, revealed tired anatomles,
a goodly supply of chiggers and ravenous
appetites, but nary "a fish, We are charlt-
able enough to believe that they just gave
away their catch" to those who were
not so lucky.

BOX SUPPER.

The box supper given at the !. M' T. A.
Monday night, for the benefit OF the base
ball club, was well attend and if anybody
failed to have good time it was probably
their own fault.
The affair was not the success, financial
". that was expected. There were only
four boxes offered for sale and this ac-
counted for the smallness of the receipts.
The fact that 1921 was realized shows
that everything brought good prices and
nroves the interest taken in such things.
There we're two contests pulled off that
created much interest and when the Prlzes
were awarded not a word of complaint was
heard.
A cavalier was put up and voted to the
handsomest young lady present. Alter
very spirited contest, Miss Dovie Housely
proved to be the winner

the Net Increase Being
S2,864.02.

The savings of the school children
OF the CITY deposited with the State
bank of Rock Island during 1914
amounted TO S6.397.S7.
The total since the establishment of
the school savings system in January.
1911. now amounts to s1s.5s37s.
This amount Is distributed among
over 1000 school children.
Despite adverse conditions the de-
posts OF the children are being built
up steadily and surely. This is proof
that the children themselves take an
active interest in the school savings.
that their enthusiasm is not tagging
and that they are learning TO appreci-
ate the value OF saving and thrift.

tions but Again Borrows
$4,000.
INTEREST PAID IS S2,725
Circuit Jurors Alone Cost $14,o5o,
While S2,o13 Was Paid for
Mothers Pensions.

Notwithstanding the oft repeated po
litical fib that Rock Island county is
out of debt and in splendid financial
condition, the report of w. H. White
side. retiring county treasurer for the
year ending November l, shows that
the county was forced to anticipate
next years tax revenue to the extent
of $4,000 in order to make both ends
meet. At the December meeting of
the board of supervisors the figure was
boosted to $4,000.
The county has found it imperative
to follow the time IGNORED custom of
the past-spending a big part OF next
years taxes months before the same
has been collected.
At that, the county is gradually get
ting on a firmer financial basis, the
sum of $4,000 ,having been paid out
during the year TO liquidate money
borrowed on anticipation warrants in
1913. Interest to the amount of 81
725.05 was paid out to the banks for
money borrowed on tax warrants.
Excess Fees
During the year some of the county
offices have more than paid for them
selves. The excess fees, being all the
money taken in by the offices, in
elusive of salaries and other necessary
running expenses amounted to consid-

This has been the busiest twelve
months in its history, there being only

Sundays and legal holidays when court

number is considerably below So Last
year there were 234 days of court and

The grand jury was in session

and 33 in 1912. A total of III indict-

against 15s for 1913 and 70 for 1912.
1t is interesting to note that 116
more declarations OF intention were
