EXPERTS BEGIN
WORK AUDITING
CITY BOOKS TODAY
Work Of Going Over City's Books TO
Ascertain the Exact Amount Of
the Alleged EmbezzIement of
Former Official Be-
gins Today.

Mayor Thomas NJ Russell yester-
day announced that he expected ex-
perts from one of the most reputable
auditing bureaus in Cincinnati to ar
rive in Maysville this morning to be-
gin Immediately the work of audit
ing the city's books to ascertain the
exact amount of the alleged embezzle-
ment of former City Clerk George
Wood Ovens
Immediately following the an
nouncement of the discovery of a
shortage in the city's funds the City
Council authorized Mayor Russell to
employ experts to go into the matter
thoroughly and ascertain the exact
amount of the city's money which had
not gone for the purposes it was col
lected from the taxpayers for.
1t is understood that the most of the
shortage in the present discovery is in
the brick street account but in order
to clear up the entire situation the
experts will go through the city's
books for several years back and
make a complete report of their find
ings to the City Council
1t was at first thought that the ex-
perts would require several weeks to
go over the books thoroughly but it
is now learned that some two or three
accountants can go through the books
in few days and bring out any short
ages or discrepancies in the city's ac-
counts.
Much interest will be taken in the
progress of the audit and the final an
nouncement of the experts when they
have finished their work will be
watched with very much interest by
the taxpayers who have become very
desrious of complete audit since the
developments of the last few days have
become known to the general public.
Mayor Russell assures the public
that the Investigation starting today
will be thorough for after consider
able inquiring he has at last employ
ed one of the best concerns obtain
able. Many of the prominent audit
bureaus in Cincinnati were very busy
just at this time and it took consid-
cradle work to get concern to un-
dertake the work at once but the May
or was lucky in that he found one of
the best concerns in the city who
could furnish two or three experts
at once.

$500 ROOSTER
A FOWL THAT is MAKING THE
ROUNDS OF DIR. KINNEY'S
AUCTION SALES.

DIR. w. e. Kinney reports today
that he conducted a very successful
sale of the Lars Johnson estate in
Rutland township yesterday. The
feature of the sale, though, was the
sale of the rooster recently sold at
the Peter Olson sale for $54. which
was turned over by Mr.. Olson to Mr..
Kinney, with the injunction to keep
on selling it until it brought $500.
Mr.. Kinney offered the fowl at the
sale yesterday, and be it said to the
everlasting credit of the Rutland
township farmers. they bid generous
ly until the amount of the bidding
was $500. Only one man asked to
bid utterly refused TO fall into the
spirit of the game. The money, OF
course, was for the Red Cross.
There was also a goose offered for
the same purpose which brought
$30.5O-which is as well as a goose
could be expected to do.

STAMP SELLING
FIRST SOCIETY FORMED IN CITY
TO SPEED SALES OF THRIFT
AND WAR STAMPS.

In the Commercial club rooms
Thursday night was formed of 10
young men of town a society for the
purpose of pushing the sale of war
savings and thrift stamps for the gov
eminent. 1t is first of the kind in
Madison, and its operation is on the
chain system. E. Z. Olstad was
elected president of the society and
H. A. Huxford was made secretary.
The name of the society is THE Lib
erty War Savings society"
The sale of this class of smaller
securities, offered with a double pur-
pose of giving the small investor
something of government security
and of making an attractive savings
account for the small saver, has had
considerable success with only the
newspaper publicity and the active
craftsmanship of the p~ostoffice and
bank forces of the country. In Eng
land huge sums have been raised as
a war fund for the prosecution of the
war, and great effort was expended
in bringing it before the public. But
it served in getting the small saw
ings out of the family sock, and turn
ed much money in TO the use of the
government.
The operation of the plan is on one
of the ideas of a modified chain sys-
tenn. The 10 original members
pledge themselves to buy one of the
stamps, and make his regular addi-
tions. Another of his duties is to
get another member every day. The
new member is also to buy a stamp,
and make his regular additions as his
means may allow, and also to get an
other member every day. 1t will be
readily seen that in this way there
will soon be a tremendous number of
members to the society in a short
time, and the aggregate mount of
money thus gained for the govern
ment will mount high in the big fig
ures.

CLOSE ATTENTION
MAKES BIG SUCCESS OF FARM
ING NEAR GARRETSON.

Garretson, March 2.-What close
attention to farming will accomplish
is shown by the record made by S. o.
Bison, a farmer living some miles
from Garretson. He started farming
IT years ago without any capital to
speak of. He gave his farming OPP
erations close attention and has been
very successful, raising good crops
most years because of the systematic
manne in which he cultivated his
fields of growing grain and other
products. He now has n of the
best farm dwellings in eastern South
Dakota. Up to last year he was the
owner of a fine farm of $40 acres.
Last year he purchased an addition
al 24O acres, giving him a farm of
$50 acres, all of which is highly i'm
proved.
