WHO'S
WHO
In the Scramble for rAssessOrshIps
Will BE UnfOIded Tomorrow
When List Arrives.

Deputy Tax Commissioner Morrow
yesterday received a letter from the State
Tax Commissioner stating that the eligi-
bic list of applicants in this county for
tax assessors would be received by him
tomorrow, Saturday.
The assessors must be appointed not
later than next Wednesday, the 4th, and
file their bond on or before the following
Saturday, the 7th, when Mr. Morrow is
instructed to call them together, give
them instructions on their work and fur
nish them with the necessary blanks.
The work of assessing will not be COM
menced then until week from next
Monday, the 9th, a week later than it
was presumed the assessors would get
to work.
The State Commission lays particular
stress upon the fact that appointments
must be made to the letter under the
civil service law.
Politics, religion or personal reasons
must not enter into the selection of the
assessors" " says the Commission in its
letter. Business and other powerful
influences may be used to persuade you
to forget the worth of candidates. Such
influence filled the duplicates in the past
with special favors for few and injus-
tice for the many"
The bond forms which Deputy Tax
Commissioner Morrow will expect each
of his appointed assessors to fill out
arrived Wednesday, and he now awaits
only the eligible list of applicants to-
make his appointments.

HELP US
RAISE POTATOES

1t is a well known fact that the soil of
Mercer County is adapted to the raising
of potatoes equal to any in the state.
And the fact that thousands of potatoes
are shipped in each year to supply home
consumption tends to show that the
farmers of this county have not turned
their attention to the raising of potatoes,
which is one of the most profitable crops
that can be raised.
In order to increase the raising of po-
tatoes in Mercer County, the Agricul-
tural Society of this county has conclud-
ed to give potato contest to the boys
under IS Years old. Each boy who de-
sires to enter this contest will be given
five pounds of the best variety of pota-
toes. This will give each one who takes
advantage of this contest start of
good variety of potatoes for another
year, besides the pleasure the boy will
receive out of the contest.
The first premium for the boys who
produce the most and best quality in
each township, will be $500 in cash; the
second best $500. The boy who pro-
duces the best in the county will receive
a free trip to the State fair.
Now is the time to write to the Secre-
tary for entry blanks. We would like to
have 800 boys enter this contest and
teach the farmers of the county what can
be done with a few pounds of potatoes.
Boys, here is challengs. The secre-
tary of the society intends to plant five
pounds of these potatoes, not to enter
the contest, but the boy in Mercer Coun-
ty, who raises the second best, his ex-
penses will be paid by the Secretary of
this society himself.
Now, boys, get down to work, and see
who will be the luckySboy to secure
free trip to the State Fair, at the expense
of the secretary.
Where is the farmer in Mercer county,
or the business man in Mercer county,
who will come forward and advertise his
business by paying the expenses of the
third best in Mercer county, which will
be but few dollars, and we will give
such man a free page of advertising in
our premium list If there is such
man, let him come forward and help
make some boy happy by giving him a
free trip to the State Fair.
Write at once for application blanks
and particulars.

RICE
AND COUNCIL
Done Good Days Work Chief and
Fire LaddIes Were Given
Lease on Jobs.

Council met in regular session last
Tuesday evening with all members pres
ent but Miller and with Mayor Rice pre-
siding. After the usual opening routine
Chairman Winter of the auditing COM
mittee suggested that the State Bureau
Inspection of Public Offices be called up
ON to examine the books of the Clerk
and Treasurer, and the clerk was in
structed to ask the Bureau to audit the
officers books.
Chairman Rentzsch of the fire commit
tee reported on the excellent condition
of things at the engine house and gave
a word of praise for Chief Weisman and
his fire fighters.
Mayor Rice then re-appointed the
whole force-Chief Weisman, Driver
Adams and Firemen Brock and Teeters-
while the dads done the unexpected
trick OF rightfully boosting each one of
the laddies salary five dollars a month.
One more name was added to the list
of applicants for Street Commissioners
Casts job, when d. c. Freeman
entered the race. But, undoubtedly, d.
{. S name did not even fill the bill for
after a noisy executive session of length
the dads returned to the public chamber
and the announcement was made that
the selection would go over until the
next meeting.
Fire Chief Weisman presented his an
nual report which was accepted. The
report, in brief, states that the depart
ment responded to 10 alarms last year,
two less than in 1912; two thousand feet
of hose was laid and AZ gallons of chemi-
calls was used. The total loss by fire
and water was 50, 398; of this amount
S908 was damage to buildings, and Sl409
on contents. Value at risk was S18, 400.

Man a Defective Swimmer.

Man is said to be the only animal
that does not instinctively swim.
When the Minnehaha struck on the
rocks of the Scilly islands pony and
all the cattle on board, 234 in number,
were put over the side and forced to
shift for themselves; and all except
ten of these creatures reached the
shore in safety-the pony being
among the survivors. If 235 human
being had been cast into the sea under
similar conditions how many of them
would have lived to tell the tale?
Even a hen will swim If she has to;
cat, dreading the water as it does, will
paddle along as briskly as dog. But
man makes poor work of it, unless he
has been taught; and too frequently
he has received no instruction. !

TREATIES
ARE TAKEN UP
Discussion Indicates an Early Re-
port TO the Senate Favorable.
Action Is Probable.

Arbitration Paets With Great Britain,
Japan, Italy and Portugal Likely To
Be Reported In the Form They
Were Drawn Up by the State De-
partment-canal Tolls Question the
Next to Receive Consideration.
Washington, Jan. 29.-The senate
foreign relations committee called up
the pending arbitration treaties with
Great Britain, Japan, Italy and Por
tugal A discussion Of the treaties in
dicated an early report on them in
practically the form in which they
have been sent TO the senate by the
state department. Favorable action
on the arbitration treaties is expect.
ed to follow in the senate within
few days.
With the arbitration treaties dis.
posed of the administration will di.
rect its attention to the Panama ca.
nal tolls question. The president al.
ready has indicated to members OF
the foreign relations committee that
he is against the granting of free
tolls to American coastwise ships,
and believes some legislative action
ought to be taken which will remove
Great Britain's ground of complaint
that the Pan-American canal act con.
stitutes a violation of the Hay-Paun.
cefote treaty.
The differences which have devel.
oped between the United States and
Great Britain over the Panama canal
tolls question, the feeling against the
United States in Russia because of
the abrogation Of the commercial
treaty; the failure of the senate to
act on arbitration treaties negotiated
by nations of the first class in the
best Of faith, and the issue with Ja-
pan over the California alien land
laws have developed a situation
which is likely to hamper the United
States in it's efforts to solve the diff |
culties in Mexico.
All Of these matters are giving the |
administration considerable concern |
at this time, not because of any sin. |
gle issue involved, but because of the |
peculiarly isolated position in which |
the United States would find itself in
the event Of serious trouble being
by any nation.

Recent tests In both our navy and
that of Great Britain-although the
results are not given out officially
are said to demonstrate conclusively
the superiority of oil over coal as
fuel for battlesh1ps. For some time
oil has been used on smaller craft, as
torpedo-boat destroyers, and as a sup
Elementary fuel on some of the larger
craft, and naval men have realized its
many advantages, If its use were
found to be practical 1t would mean
great saving of space, reduction of
crews, abolishment of smoke, saving
of time, and an increased steaming ra-
dius. On the other hand, 1t would
mean a general naval remodeling, and
there are the sources and amount of
oil supply to be considered. Petroleum
is found in other countries, but the
best quality and that which is most
effective as fuel is found only in the
United States. Some authorities con-
tend that when a change is made from
coal as fuel in the navy 1t will be to
gas rather than to oil.-Youth's Com

VILLA WOULD NOT
ACCEPT PRESIDENCY
Says He Is Fighting For Gar
ranza'S Principles.

Juarez. Mexico, Jan. 29.-General
villa in discussing the Mexican situa-
tion declared he would not accept the
presidency IL elected; that he is fight
ing for Carranza and for the princi-
Piles Carranza represents, and that IL
Carranza is made president he will
be satisfied
One of General Villas reasons for
coming to Juarez at this time is to
urge the Chihuahua bankers who are
now in FL Paso to return to Chihua-
hua and reopen their banks. Most Of
the banks closed when Villa took Chi
huahua and the bankers came to Ell
Paso. Villa is said to have threat
ened the bankers with confiscation OF
all their property unless they return
ed and reopened their banking
houses.
Two trainloads of rebel troops left
Chihuahua for Jiminez, where the
Constitutionalists are concentrated
for the attack on Torreon. General
Maclovio Herrera is in command at
Jiminez, while General Tribio Ortega
is experimenting the movement of
troops from Chihuahua to the con-
centration point.
Forty-eight members of the Terra
zas family, including the wife of the
aged general, Luis Terrazas, Sr., now
a refugee in Ell Paso, arrived in Jua-
rez. Luis Terrazas, son Of the multi
millionaire, is still held a prisoner in
Chihuahua by the rebels, where he is
held for a ransom of 100000 pesos.

AS GOOD FISH STORY AS ED
PEAKE COULD SPIN

Perhaps the most typical fish story
comes from Norway. Henrick Dahl, OF
Aelesund, was a follower of Darwin.
Wishing to prove the theory Of adapt
ability of species to its environment
he caught herring in the ford and kept
1t in tub of water at home. The water
he reduced day by day until the herring
was able to do without any at all.
The next move was to train II to live
on dry ground. II Topped about awk-
wardly at first, but gradually learned to
move freely and was able at last to fol-
low its master on his walks.
One day Henrick had to cross a bridge
which was old and out OF repair. His
pet was hopping along, jumping at flies
now and then, all needless of danger.
Unfortunately on the bridge it slipped,
missed its footing, fell through hole
into the harbor and was drowned.
