A German Ruse

A correspondent of the Associated
Press in Berlin writes that a young
volunteer from Charlottenburg de-
seribes in letter from the front dar-
ing reconnaissance undertaken by HIM
self, with a sergeant major and four
other men, in an effort to learn which
French regiment was posted in the
trenches 600 yards away. A reward
of $50 marks and the Iron Cross had
been promised should the expedition
succeed, but the six men declared that
they would accept no money. They
started on a dark night, walking in
stockinged feet as quietly as possible
through snow, and gradually approach
ed the enemy's trenches until they were
but fifty yards away. They they were
hailed with "who goes there7"
''Patrols who have lost their way,'
answered the young Charlottenburger
"don't shoot, we are comrades"
"Of what regiment9' called the
French.
"Of the Twentieth was the an

How Noah Lost His Bet

How Noah Lost His Bet
Contributed by James s. Kimmel
Old Noah crawled into. his hay,
He knew he'd won his bet;
He looked out of the Ark next day
And saw the state was "wet.''
Then Mrs. Noah lit her pipe
And seemed demure and shy;
She got the gang meal of tripe
And piece of rhu'barb pie.
Well, Noah s sons refused to eat
Without a drink of booze;
And so they gathered up their feet
And laid down for snooze.
The wives Of those three Noah boys
Had voted with the "drys;"
They wanted real homelike joys
Away from pig pen flies.
Then came a strike upon the Ark,
The folks could not agree;
The men in charge of that old bark
Went on glorious spree.
Those Noah men had voted 'wet, )"
Their wives had voted "dry;"
And as old Noah won his bet,
The women took their cry.
The Noah women prayed all night
To see once more "dry' land;
They centered on lawsuit fight
And injunction job they planned.
Of course, the judge was awful "dry,
He sided with the "wets;'
He winked at Noah on the sly
And said: "Rope in your BETS"
The wives of Noah $ sons appealed
Their case to higher court;
And 10, the fact was there revealed
The vote of "wets' was short.
In forty days the land was "dry,"
The judgment was reversed;
The order made old Noah cry
AS the drys' were reimbursed.

into the hands of the collectors will never be used
mail matter and their sale will mean clear profit
to the government over and above the insignificant
cost of printing, cumming and distributing.
The question which arises in this connection is
whether the German philatelists, of which there
are great numbers, will in keeping their collections
up to date, purchase quantities of the Russian
patriotic stamps and thus aid in supporting gov
ernment against which they fighting while pro-
tecting their own particular homes and country.

Shoes for Soldiers

A study of the orders given by Ma
poleon indicates the care he exercised
to have sufficient supply of shoes
provided. On one occasion he wrote,
"You know that shoes are always
needed in war, and at another time he
said to Baron Lejeune, "Shoes help on
marches, and marches win battles.
To Sir John Burgoyne's question ad-
dressed to, Wellington, "What was the
first requirement of a soldier?" " A
good pair of Shoes" he replied. "And
the second requirement." ga good
pair of shoes for change" !" And the
third?" "a pair of soles for repairs. -

COUNTY Finances
ON A SOLID Basis
Continued From First Page.

County Auditors also will audit the
County Treasurer 3 accounts for the
last year, and it facilitates making
preparations for compiling the 1915
annual budget and fixing the tax rate.
The County Controller and the Coun-
ty Commissioners say that the tax rate
will not be raised this year and it will
be determined on Friday whether it can
be lowered. Tt is said by County Off
cials that there is possibility of a
decrease.
Figures on the Bonded Debt
The county during the year paid out
$120 as damages for the killing of cat
tie by mad dogs. The balance remain
ing in the dog tax fund.- which will
be distributed among the county school
districts, is s1,469.72. The road tax
fund, amounting to $1,269.S0, will be
distributed among the boards of road
supervisors. These moneys will be dis
tributed probably before the close of
this month.
Many properties that had been sold
by the County Treasurer for unpaid
taxes were redeemed by the original
owners during the year, this procedure
being based on the ruling that the deed
of title given to the purchasers at the
time Of the sale becomes effective only
two years after the sale and then only
in the event that the original owner
does not reclaim his real estate by pay
ing the amount of the purchase price
. together with twenty five per cent. in
terest. In the redemption fund there
now is $705.SS which can be claimed
any time by the bidders, who must sur.
render their purchases.
The county's bonded debt is divided
as follows: Loan of 1901, $249,000;
1902, $51, 900; 1903, $121,O00, max.
ing total of $421,OOO. There are
now in the sinking fund, bonds, mort
cages and cash-representing the Sink.
ing Fund Commissioners interest bear.
ing Investments, s,-totaling exactly
253,O22.52, so that the county's net
bonded debt is $167,977.4S. There is
a cash balance in the treasury of $751;.
456.35, so that the county would be
able to pay all its liabilities, save less
than $4,000, with actual cash on
hand.
However, the fact that the bonds
will not mature until the years 1881

they cannot be redeemed without the
consent of the county, removes all pos
sibility of the county having to pay of
these obligations on demand
The county's total resources are
about the same as last year, since the
County Controller used the figures that
for years the audit boards have used
The resources are given at $1,269,.
501.43.
Among the Treasury Receipts
Amounts charged against the County
Treasurer include these: 1913 balance
$142,562.O2; 1914 county tax levy

for years 1913, 1912 and 1911, $1S,.
