Celebrities Who Wills
I, Take Part In The Elks ]
5 Minstrel April 9th !
JACK CHUNN.
by Earl c. May)

In spite Of the weeping, wailing
and crashing of teeth following the
untimely departure of Handsome
Harry Hines, the ladies' favorite Of
last seasons Elks' Ministries, word
comes from official sources that it is
darkest before the dawn; every
cloud has silver lining and it's a
long lane that has no turning. In
other words. the fair sex of this COM
munity is advised that Percival
Elijah Jack Chunn will be in the
lineup of the Lakeland Elks' Min
strels April 9 at the Lakeland Audi
torium.
Although it doesn't worry him at
all, it is an unquestioned fact that,
since the departure of Handsome
Harry Hines, whose presence is now
shedding lustre and distinction upon
the good people Of Miami, Jack
Chunn is the best looking man in
Lakeland. 1t is partly because of this
fact and partly because he possesses
a pure lyric tenor that Jack" has
been elected to sing a first part sole
in the Elks' Minstrel Show of April
8. Jack" was elected unanimously
and accepted the honor with alacrity
and quiet dignity, but his acceptance
brought the management to thu
mighty decision as to whether or n,
General Chunn should appear in TIN

ACTION OF BOARD
WAS NECESSARY

We have heard some little comment
on the action OF the board Of county
commissioners in providing for a
deputy for the assessors office, which
seems to be not in direct accordance
with the letter of the law. The law
provides that the assessor shall have
an office deputy only from April 1st
to October 1st, but as We understand
1t, the commissioners have decided to
allow pay for deputy throughout the
year, or during such time as the same
may be deemed necessary.
For the benefit of those not familiar
with the facts we will say that un-
der the present law governing the as
SCISSORS office, work on the assess
ment roll must begin January 1st and
1t must close on the first Monday In
July. During this time it is necessary
for the assessor to be absent from his
Office the greater part of the time, and
without deputy 1t would be neces-
sary to close the office. thereby work
Ing n great inconvenience on the pub.
lie. Furthermore, the work is such
that assistance is positively necessary.
The tax commission and the last leg
islature changed the routine of work
in the assessors office but no pro.
vision was made for assistance to take
care of 1t, and 1t therefore devolved
upon the commissioners to take the
necessary action.
There is no criticism due to the CON-
missioners for their action. and none
to the auditor for vetoing the bill. The
action of the former was necessary
in order to meet with the require
ments of law, and the auditor Is act
ing within the law in vetolng the bill
for the deputy assessors salary. It
Is all the result of confused laws
which the legislature failed to har-
monize.
1t Is hoped that the next legislature
will get the matter Strengthened out.

COSTS OF WAR
MOUNTING SKYWARD

In all the belligerent countries the
cost of the war and the economic
strain involved are the questions just
now most under discussion. At the
outbreak of the war the most general
ly accepted estimate was that il would
cost Europe S4O,0OO,OOO day. or
something like $4,000, 200. 900 a wear,
if the war should last so long, which
few economists deemed likely be-
cause OF the cost, says the Springfield
Republican.
Last week. Dr.. Hellerich told the
German Rcichstas that his recent es-
tmat" of $60,0G0,00G day for the
outlay of all the telligerents must be
Increased by some 100000, and the
cost be put at $4,000, 600. 900 a year,
or S9.000,000,0O0 more than the esti-
mate which seemed so stupefying
when the war began.
The heaviest burden. he frankly ad.
mitted, fell on Germany and ENGLAND.
and the new German war credit of
$1,000, 100000 will put the two coun-
tries very much on a level II will
bring the German bill up to 100000
100000, and not long ago Mr.. AS
quith announced that Britain had
spent $S,300.000,00O, and that its
daily expenses had risen 10 nearly
$25,00O,000.
In France, TOO. statment was
made last week, showing a yearly out
lay of S6,200,000000. of which nearly
S5,O00,000.000 was direct military
charge. The monthly cost for the first
FIVE months of the war was $35, 900, 900.
but this had risen for the first five
months of the present year TO $780,.
100000, or about $16,000,00O a day.
OF the huge outlay of $4,000, 900 900
year. Dr.. HelGfcrich in his estimate
assigns two.thirds to the allies and
only one-third TO the central powers.
which seems not unreasonable, par
ucularly in view of the enhanced cost
OF preparing, as England is doing,
after the outbreak of the war. But
this ratio may be somewhat altered
with the extension of the war. for
neither Turkey nor Bulgaria can stand
alone financially, and they are likely
20 be increasingly charge on the Ger
man treasury. If the war should set
tie into test of endurance, impecuni-
GUS allies might prove source of
weakness rather than of strength.
