Germany's Hell Worse
Than That of Dante

SOUTH BEND. Ind, Feb. 1s.-"The
German soldier Is the most diabolical
person the world has known. His heel
has left upon Belgium and northern
France a worse hell than the most
vivid Imagination Of Dante ever con-
ceived." This in nutshell is the
opinion expressed by the Rev. Samuel
C. Benson, who recently returned from
Europe, where he has been engaged in
Red Cross work.
Before the war was declared / was
a pacifist. l opened halls at my own
expense and preached the doctrine of
peace. Since l have been to Europe,
however, | realize that I was wrong
and that the war in which we are now
engaged should go on until the Hun is
wiped out completely that he will
never again be able to think of forcing
a war in the future

TAX COLLECTIONS
JUMP $4,000
IN -FOUR YEARS
Auditor Bowman's Plan OF
Forwarding Delinquent
Taxes, Successful.

The new plan Of forwarding all de-
linQuent taxes, from year TO year
shows a decided increase of taxes col
lected over the old method OF drop
ping delinquents at the end of the
year.
L. S. Bowman. county auditor pre-
sented to the Indiana tax association,
several years ago, plan by which all
DELINQUENT taxes should be carried
over from year to year instead OF be-
ing dropped and no attempt made to
collect 1t.
For the last four years the plan
has been under experiment and has
proved to be successful as shown by
the following figures compiled by l..
S. Bowman, county auditor.
In the years from 1910 to 1912 in
elusive the total amount OF delinquent
taxes collected shows that the total
for the four years amounted to $69,-
SPAS with an average collection OF
$17 .40561 per year.
The plan was then carried into ef-
feet and the figures for the following
four years, 1914 to 1917 conclusive are
evidence Of what 1t has saved to the
Wayne county taxpayers. The total
amount of delinquent taxes collected
for the last four years $122,031.37
showing an average per year Of $780,
507.S4, almost double the tax collected
during the proceeding four years.
The average increase in the last
four years of the collection of taxes
amounted TO s52.40S.S4 making an
average per year of S13.102.23 in
crease over the former average.
Although this method OF carrying
the delinquent taxes forward from
year to year causes the amount of de-
linquent taxes apparently to grow
from year to year. the real value is
shown by the figures in the increase
OF delinquent taxes collected which
means that whereas these taxes were
formerly lost they can now be collect
ed
The increase can be noted from the

TO HOLD OVER COTTON

Atlanta, Ca, July 11th-The most
important point in the plan outlined
by the Cotton States Official Advise
ry Marketing Board, at the recent
New Orleans meeting, for the gradu-
al marketing of the 1918 cotton crop,
as pointed out by Commissioner of
Agriculture j. ]. Brown, is this:
"The cotton producers in each of
the cotton growing states are to be
urged not to market more than 20
per cent of their crop in any one
month; and to held over for twelve
months, or until such time as the war
is terminated, or shipping facilities
are ample to move the surplus freely,
one bale out of every three"
That is the gist of the whole thing,
toward the success of which every
thing else is to contribute. Every
bale of the 1918 cotton crop will be
needed Conditions as to export and
otherwise, are such that it is felt
steps are necessary to bring about
the proper, gradual marketing of the
crop.
Compression and proper warehOus-
ing, with the maintenance of all nee
essary warehouse facilities, are urged,
both to facilitate transportation and
protect against damage and waste.
Each cotton state is to be organ
lied by counties and school districts,
canvasses made and pledge cards dis
tributed and signed. Members of the
Cotton States Marketing Board are
to work comparatively in the varioEs
states, and every available agency is
to be used in completing the organ
ization and completing the plans a.
dopted.

NEW WELL SHOWS UP
l76 GALLONS
A MINUTE
Nearly as Much as the Flow
of All Other Wells in
Use Combined

Water, good water, and that in a.
bundance, will be available for city
use in Marietta from this time forth.
Last week, the well that the City
has been drilling on the lot of the
Marietta Knitting Mills, reached a
depth of 312 feet, of which the last
204 feet has been granite, and water
was struck which has flowed up with
in eight feet of the surface.
Under twelve hour test of 176
gallons per minute the water has
maintained this level, and it is there
fore certain that at last well has
been found that will produce an ad-
aquatic supply.
The test rate would indicate a
flow of seven million gallons per
month, while all other wells in the
city use combined have only produc-
ed nine million gallons per month.
The necessary machinery will be
procured as quickly as possible and
the new well put into service.
We congratulate the mayor and
board upon their perseverance.

To belong to the wheat club you

Most of the pig club members are
doing fine. March and April pigs
belonging to the boys and girls, are
weighing from fifty to one hundred
pounds. Do not forget to give them
plenty of clean water this hot wealth

charcoal ashes and lime mixture.
If all the club memebers finish up

to take to the other fairs.
In order to take hogs to the fairs,
they must be doubly inoculated. The

When doubly treated your hog is

school and get expert advice on it.

A DESPONDENT FIT
CAUSES WOMAN
To END LIFE
She Swallows Carbolic Acid
Before Her Husband
Can Stop Her

The tragic end of the life of Mrs.
Nina Mae Poole, ats the home of her
husband, Mr.. T. J. Poole, near Hiram,
on last Friday was one of the sad
events of the day.
Mrs. Poole, aged 80, and the moth
er of six children, had appeared des-
pondent when her husband left the
house for work on his farm.
When he had gone, Mrs. Poole
took a revolver in her pocket and
went into Hiram to secure cartridges,
but failing in this, she managed to
buy small quantity of carbolic acid.
She then returned to the field
where her husband was at work and
in his presence poured the contents
of the vial down her throat, after
saying to him, 'This ends it ALL"
Her husband, although near, was
unable to reach her in time to pre-
vent it, and after hurrying to the
house with her, sent for physician,
DR.. Ragsdale of Hiram responding,
but all efforts to save her life were
in vain.
She was buried on Sunday from
the Methodist Church in Hiram.
No cause was apparent for her
rash act, other than a temporary fit
of dependency.
She was the daughter of Mr.. Oil
yer of Roswell. She leaves six child
ren, the oldest girl of II years.
The sympathy Of the community
goes out to the bereaved family.
