FINANCIAL STATEMENT"

In view of the fact that there has
been so much unjust censure of the
Ohio COunty Fiscal Court for failure
to have a statement made of the
County's finances. feel that the PEG
pie are entitled to know the facts re-
garding the same, so | am giving you
some of them, as / feel it is due the
Court to have the facts known by the
people. One of the first IT'S of the
present Court was to appoint Rowan
Holbrook and w. S. Tinsley, to make
financial statement showing the
condition of the County, at the tine
the present court went into office.
and as everybody knows, the war was
on and help scarce and hard to get,
and the two gentlemen above named
we're unable to make said statement;
whereupOn the Court requested me to
make the statement for said time,
and on account of the assessment be-
ing about three months late, l was
not able to do so, and the court not
being able to get suitable person,
the statement was not made. At the
regular April term 1919, of the Ohio
County Fiscal Court, Rowan Hol-
brook, c. o. Hunter, and myself were
appointed to make a financial state
ment of Ohio County's finances and
| made frequent requests of Mr..
Hunter, that we get together and
make the statement but Mr.. Hol.
brook was, during that time, in Ow-
ensboro, and Hr Hunter said that
he could not possibly help with the
statement. So ii has not been made,
but 1t is no fault of the Court. How
ever, the court at its Special August
1919 term, appointed another COM
mittee to make said statement, which
is composed of the fol-
lowing: ]. ii. Wood, j. l.. Brown ami
myself. so If You do not get the state
ment, do not blame the Court.
l give the above facts feeling that
II is in justice to the Court. in view
of the statements made by some of
the citizens of the County.

TREATY FORCED FROM
PRESIDENTS HAND
Senate Publishes Secret Pact
Made To Save
France

| Washington, August 6.-Aftef the
PRESIDENT had refused to make pub
lie the secret treaty by which tie
United States and Great Britain prom
ised to go to the aid of France in the
event of its again being attacked by
Germany and the Senate had printed
in the records copies made public in
London and Paris in which it was
shown to be stipulated that the Presi-
dent had agreed to submit it with the
general peace treaty, the White House
finally sent it along after again de-
clarinE that it would not do so.
In this treaty, which a majority OF
the Senate is said to believe abrogates
all the traditions of the Republic and
bellies the statements so frequently
made that the league of nations, will
prevent all future wars, it is agreed,
Just as between "His Majesty the
King of Great Britain and Ireland
and of the British dominions beyond
the seas, Emperor of India" and the
President of the French Republic.
that whereas the United States of
America and the French Republic are
fully persuaded that an unprovoked
movement of aggression by Germany
against France would not only violate
both the letter and the spirit of the
treaty of Versailles to which the Unit
ed States of America and the French
Republic are parties, thus exposing
France anew to the intolerabIe bur-
dens OF an unprovoked war, but that
such aggression on the part of Ger
many would be and is so regarded
by the treaty of Versailles as a hostile
act against all the powers signatory
to that treaty and as calculated to
disturb the peace of the world by in
volving inevitably and directly the
States of Europe and indirectly the
world at large
In such an event the President
agrees, as signator, that the United;
States go Immediately to the aid of
France. 1t is stated in the document
as a part of the agreement that ''the
present treaty will be submitted to
the Senate of the United States, at
the same time as the treaty of Yer.
sallles is submitted to the Senate fer
It's advice and consent to ratification
The President told the Senate that
the k'ranco-Anerican treaty and the
peace treaty were linked to
yether. He had made an agreement
with the French Republic to submit
both at the same time. Yet, in de-
lance OF this, ne held one Of them w

Tarpon Bus Line
Changes Schedule

Starting April 1, the Tarpon Bus
line will take off one of it's big buses
and will operate on the following
schedule:
Leave Tarpon Springs at s a. m. and
2 p. m. Leave Tampa 1915 a. m. and
6 p. m. This allows one and one-half
hours running time for the trip.
The Ta1pon Bus line has given ex-
cellent service in the past and is now
reducing service for lack of sufficient
traffic to justify maintaining the two
buses during the dull summer season.
Next winter they will be equipped
with big modern buses of the White
type, carrying twenty-five passengers,
and will give the best and cheapest
service possible.

FINE CELERY

F. J. Zimmerman, of the Carmen
Grape company, brought to The Lead

men of celery as we have ever seen.
1t consisted of a stool of "a stalks, "a
inches long, thrifty, brittle and of a
splendid flavor.
The celery was grown in Mr.. Zim-
merman's garden, just off from upper
Tarpon avenue, in pure sand soil. No
fertilizer was used on the ground this
season but plenty of water was sup
piled the plant.
The prevailing idea that muck land
is necessary to the growing of fine Gel
cry seems to be without, foundation of
fact, for, as we have already stated,
this celery, which is a fair sample of
the entire crop, was grown in sandy
soil.
