What the Overhead" Amounts To.
1t will thus be seen that of the to-
tai expenditures in 1914, 262 per
cent was for road maintenance AS
Stunning, for the sake of argument, that
the lines of expense are the same
from year to year, five-twelfths Of
zu1a per cent of this known expense
of 1914 should be added to the over
head of the road department for tie
first five months of 1915, and would
increase the road engineers figures
by 1,323.95. This very nearly off
sets the whole of the stables and quar-
ry accounts for the period. 1t must
be remembered that only that portion
of the overhead which has direct
bearing on road work has been enum-
Grated. The attorneys department,
which presents the cases, and the jul.
dietary department, which unravels
the tangles of highways, has not been
considered at all; nor have donations,
amounting to $500; band, $27,S40, or
hospital expenses, $4,000. In this
connection it would be interesting to
know what the city and county have
in office equipment and automobiles
and what interest on such investment
would amount to.

"All of these departments come in
direct touch with road work, either in
doing the preliminary work, getting
the money to pay for it or in disburs-
ing the same, and their proper proper

to overhead expenses
The objection may be raised that
the tax office is territorial institu.
ton and has nothing to do with city
and county affairs This is not the
case. The city and county money is
handed over by the tax office, less
cost OF collection. In other words the
city and county guarantee expenses.

SO their tidy little sum of $102,556.67
becomes an overhead expense to the

arises as to what part of this amount

TT is reported that the Chinese gov
III eminent has taken steps toward the
demolition of the famous Chinese
wall, that barrier which has for twenty
centuries extended for more than LOO
miles over mountain and valley.
The great powers of today were I'M
dreamed of when this celebrated wall
was reared to repel the invader. 1t had
endured 200 years when Christ came to
earth, but it was the work of no new
nation, since China can trace its his
tory back for 5000 years.
1t appears that the project for de-
molishing the great wall originated
some years ago, and that the late en-
press and her son, whose deaths occur
ring nearly simultaneously, SO suddenly
changing the whole aspect of China,
had cor scented to the removal of the
barrier, and had even signed the con-
tract for the work when superstltlous
fear seized them and the order was re-
voked. Descended from the Tsin dy-
nasty that built the wall and possess
ed of that worship of ancestry SO deep
ly ingrained in the Chinese heart. they
feared. at the last moment, to commit
the masterpiece of the dead.
But, it seems, the progressive Chinese,
possessed of full authority, nave no
such scruples. They are not the de-
scendants of emperors. and there is
nothing, therefore, in this relation to
hold them in check.
The wall is. the symbol of the ancients
and of the force that for so long held
the country in check. If it is brought
down, the modernists will take 1t as a
sign that the new rule will enforce the
new ideals. Modern artillery would
speedily reduce the last vestige of the
ancient barrier, but it was not built to
withstand this sort of attack. and In
the days when it reared it's head over
the landscape it was an impossible
stronghold.
The foreigner who gazes upon this
stupendous construction is amazed. Ex-
perts of all nations have cited 1t as one
+ of the most astounding works ever per-
formed by man. 1t has been given
credit over even the pyramids and the
Sphinx.
If he who looks upon the Chinese wall
be of an ina ginatfve turn of mind, he
is transported back twenty centuries to
of Chinese heroes. China then led the
world in wealth and in culture. The
! rich rewards of conquest constantly in
spred the Mongols, wild tribes who
! lived in the country now called Mon
| golia, to make forays
The Mongols had invaded the country
! on the northern borders and were en-
croaching farther toward Picking and
the provinces of the south.
| 1t was in this crisis that Shi- Hoangti
performed the feats of valor that made
his name forever famous in Chinese
song and annals. Assembling mighty
army, he threw himself on the Mon
golian hordes, and, signally defeating
them, sent them flying from the Chinese
| territory.
But it was not enough to have re-
PEELED the enemy. The Mongols were
| a pertinacious foe; they always re-
turned. 1t became necessary, therefore,
to construct a barrier that would un-
Ifailingly perform Its duty. The work
had to be accomplished by hand. since

Withstand any assault the Mongols
might make.
Its battlemented walls are fifty feet
high. and at intervals of every few

The wall is twenty-five feet thick and
is built for the greater part of the way

Briuht Future for Peanut.

The peanut early came into favor
with a class of persons who did not
move in the highest society, and this
unfortunate Introduction into the hui
man family has perhaps operated as a
check upon the proper and spontaneous
recognition of the charms and graces of
the peanut. But from Il trivial thing
and as an accompaniment to minstrel
shows and ctrcuses it has developed
into an important article OF commerce.
Large communities in Virginia as well
as in other paris of the United States
depend upon it for support. The use of
the nut az human food is extending, a
good many varieties of food being de-
rived from the peanut.
1t has recently made its appearance
as valuable plant food being admin
istered in the form of fertilizer. 1t
has been reported that LAST year there
was a very large crop of peanuts grown
in Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Mis-
sissippi. Alabama and Arkansas. The
crop was so. heavy that prices ruled
very low. An enterprising fertilizer
manufacturer. on account of the high
prices of cotton seed, experimental and
found that. these nuts. made a. very
superior grade of oil, besides leaving
q cake which contained per cent of
potash and to IL per cent nitrogen.
The statement has been made that p"a-
nuts are now being regularly gro i
I'D for fertilizer, and one of the prop .e-
cies is that because of this new use for
the peanut the peanut acreage next
year will be greatly enlarged.

GERMANY CANNOT CLAIM A
MONOPOLY I'm ssEFFlCuENCY'

6NHE force and influence of iteration
and reiteration are great and the
oft and nearly constant repetition
of the phrases German efficiency" and
German industrial efficiency" have had
a marked effect on the public mind, an
effect which before the great war
worked to the advantage of Germany's
industrial output
The question of German industrial eff
ficiency, and particularly of German
| manufacturing efficiency, is being very
much discussed by men whose training
and whose status in world affairs give
them authority to discuss it. The gist
of all the comments and observation is
that while there is high order of eff
ficiency in Germany's system of pro-
ducing goods and in marketing goods,
yet efficiency is not a German mo-
nopoly.
In his presentation of the question,
What is German efficiency" Prof.
Walz of Harvard says: 1T is German
/, efficiency that America and other neu-
trail nations will have to fear"
One of the industrial magazines, the
World Review, says: mo one will deny
the industrial progress of Germany
since Bismarck introduced the protective
tariff with government aid for encour-
aging capitalistic enterprise. but other
countries have prospered also. and it
would be interesting to have some de-
tails as to the particular lines in which
there is any evidence of this superior
efficiency to be found"

though the useful and humble ground
nut has had a meritorious past and
has a prosperous present, its friends
predict for it a glorious future. the
peanut is known by every one and Is
esteemed by a goodly circle of &C

some persons and the charge has been
brought against it that it is an inele-
CANT article of food and that it makes
its appeal to popular taste instead OF
to aristocratic appetite. This crushing
accusation has no doubt Influenced
many persons in their opinion of the
homely and the 1owly peanut. but the
plant and the nut seem never to have
been conscious of the slight. At any
rate. the peanut has never risen to re-
sent or repel the insult, but has gone
its way. trusting that it's merits would
finally win for it fame and fortune and
a place in the affection of all mankind.
The peanut in no way is responsible
