OUR COUNTY PRINTING
Reply By County Clerk To Arti- cle In Yesterdays Daily
 News.

In yesterdays issue of the Daily News, Mir. F. J. Johnson comes out with an article, in which he attacks the statement of the County Clerk, recently published under the Publicity Act.
 In the article. he claims that the recent statement as publish ed, shows at the heading of said statement, to cost the Tax Pay CTS" $37.50.
 l am glad to explain to Mir. Johnson and all other Tax Pay CTS" why this is.
 In the beginning, I wish to call your attention to the fact that at the Polls, in September 1914, in this County, the Tax Payers" voiced their sentiment. about 2 to l against the meas ure-said they did not want the Publicity Act to become a law. But, as the measure was forced upon the Tax Payers" of Nev- ada County, by the votes of other counties, 1 felt that the Tax Payers of Nevada County expected me to have this print ing done with as little expense as possible.
 Mir. Johnson was correct in stating he was asked to bid on this printing, and that he pro- posed to the County Clerk that the statements be made in all the papers in Nevada County, and that the County pay the maximum rate therefor. Why this proposition was not consid- cred, he says he does not know. This proposition was considered, and also twas the interest of the Tax Payer" put the same proposition up to Mir. Andrews that l did to Mir. Johnson. He said hit or miss" he would take it this year for $50. %, which is $37.5 per quarter, and for this reason his claim for the past quarter is $3750.
 Judge Thomas says that Mr. Johnson told him that he had estimated the cost of this print ing at $300.00 per year at the maximum rate. Tn en why should the Tax Payers" of Nevada County pay $300.O0 for something they had said by their ballots they did not want, when they could get it for $150.00?
 Anyone that knows anything about the business of the Coun- ty, knows that the October re- port will be the heaviest report of the year This report will contain all the work of the Equalization Board. The last year the Equalization Board con- sidered the assessment of real estate, and they will consider it again this year, 1 mailed out over sixteen hundred cards noti- flying the people of the work of the Equalization Board, each | card having from one to five

S15,000 SALE OF
 FLOUR IS MADE
 OVER TELEPHONE
Philadelphia Milling Co. Sells Belgium Relief Commission 2,000 Barrels Five Minutes After Calling New York.

A $15,OOO sale of flour to the Commission for Relief in Belgium was made over the long distance telephone yesterday from Ark adelphia to New York by the Philadelphia Milling Company, according to w. N. Adams, man. ager of the company, who called at 10:55 Central Time) and was connected with New York in less than five minutes and secured the contract at one minute be- fore 12 o'clock (Eastern Time). The sale is one of the largest made in this State and is consid- cred deal of special significance in the relation of the telephone to salesmanship, inasmuch as the market was fuctuating con- stantly and a bid could not be placed until the last moment be- cause of the need of knowing the exact market quotations.
 We were advised that the contract would be let at 12 o'clock (New York time) :" said MT. Ad- ans today in disclosing the sale. The market was so active we could not quote prices several hours ahead. We decided to call Mr. Broenniman of the relief commission by long distance tel ephone and put in our call at 10:55 o'clock, which corresponds 11:55 Eastern time.
 When Mir. Broenniman ans wered the phone he asked us if we were in the city of New York. We responded that we were talking from Philadelphia, Ark, and his surprise was complete. Wonderful, wonderful he ex- claimed. It was almost like talk ing across desk to him.
 We secured a contract for 1000 barrels, or about $15, 900 worth of Arkansas flour. Mr. Broenniman frankly told me that in letting us have the con- tract he was allowing us a prem lum of 25 cents a barrel, or about $500 on the deal, because the flour we had been sending him hitherto had been of such excell ent quality.
 We moved one day last month one train of ten cars of flour for the Commission for Relief in Belgium. This consignment was loaded aboardship for exportat- ion seventy-two hours after it left Philadelphia.
 MT. Adams paid a high con- pliment to the service of the Southwestern Telephone. and Telegraph Company for the speed with which the connection with New York was made.
 The call was routed from Ark adelpnia to Little Rock. thence St. Louis. Chicago and New York.

The Bashful Lover

The shy man, like the ugly woman,
has a pretty poor time of it in this
hard, cynical old world. For he is
held up as an object of ridicule, he is
ignored and overlooked at parties and
social gatherings and he seems so
dreadfully i'll at ease that one feels
really sorry for him, although at the
same time one wishes that he wouldn't
be quite SO awkward, quite so gauche,
for his nervousness is communicable,
and we ourselves begin to feel "jumpy"
in his presence.

take us at our own valuation. Nothing

neglected.

MILADY'S PERFUME.

Milady has a most attractive new
fad. 1t is a rather expensive one, to
be sure, but she manages that part Of
the affair very cleverly. She is living
a perfumed existence, as it were, for
she is devotee Of the perfume habit
The great expense in the perfume hab
it lies in the fact that you must choose
good perfume or none at all. Can
you imagine anything more nauseat
ing THAI an overpowering scent OF
cheap perfume? Surely you have
been victimized at one time or anoth
er, in the street car, for instance. by
this terrible trial.
The woman who likes delicate oiors
will always like violet extracts. You
can get this in as high-priced Or as
reasonable bottle as you choose.
Sachet powder gives a faint and allur-
ing odor too. The advantage about
using this is that you can usually get
a sachet powder to match your face
powder, and it will scent your whole
costume.
One fastidious lady keeps an atom
izer of her perfume on the glass shelf
of her bathroom, and another on the
dressing table. Long fiat sachets are
placed in the drawers of her bureau,
dressing table, shirtwaist box and
dresser.
Not content with this, the much
perfumed lady places sachets in the
bandeau of her hat, and even in her
satin slippers. The tiny ones are
secreted in among her laces, lingerie.
satins, ETC., and on the edge of her
corsets. The morning boudoir cap has
a sachet sewed in the inside and you
can't imagine anything more fascinat-
ing than the faint odor of woodland
blossoms on very pretty girl.

Trip. S. D., Dec. 15.-The arrest of
Jacob Knodel, a drayman of Trip. on
