las inspecciones fiscales del petroleo,
ell diputado Alexandra ataco las par
tidaS que consagran los sueldos de
los inspectores dependencies de la Sc
cretaria de Hacienda. Explico que
como miembro de la Comision de
Presupuestos, no firmo ell dictame
por no estar de acuerdo, precisamen-
te, con Ell parecer de sus compane-
ros a este respecto.
En- su opinion, ell departamento ms
pector, debe depender de la Secreta-
ria de Industrial y Concrete, como
otros similares para que de ALI Sc en-
wien a Hacienda los informes que lie
sean necesarios. Y lie rarecio il6gi-
co que en- dos Secretaries de Esta-
do hubiera oficinas destinadas al mis-
mo fin. CocIuyo dicienGo que solo
Ihubiera dos o tres inspectores para
recabar los datos mas Indispensable,
y que Sc rechazaran los demas.
Contesto Cabrera que TO era il6-
gico que existiera el doble personal.
porque eli de Hacienda esta encargado
de dictaminar sobre los impuestos
fiscales que deben reportar las COM
panias y cl de Industrial Y Concrete
tiene un cometido netamente tecnico.
FL primero debe conocer de Ia capaci-
dad de los tanques de los buques, de
Ia densidad del petr6leo, de las fe-
chas de SUI exportacion, ETC., para fl
jar cor equidad ell impuesto que debe
cobrarse Y aunque es cierto que los
inspectores de Industrial Y Concrete
podrian hacerlo, este seria ilogico,
p7rque son funciones que no CORES
ponden a esa S~ecrctaria, nj, consi-
guientemente a su personal.
Por otra parte-agrego Cabrera

stolen third, across the plate and
leaving Bailey on second. Then
came the wandering Gideonite whose
ability to WELD the club is second
only to the great Cobb himself,
with one mighty stroke he hit a
Texas Lacquer just to the left OF
second, securing for himself full
three base hit, in the meantime scor-
ing both Bailey and Holder. Bailey,
Thomson and Brown were not as
fortunate as their team mates who
preceded them and by supreme
effort on the part of the Rondo
battery, they in turn failed to get
a safe hit and the Aubrey locals
took the field with Holder on the
mound.
Wooren, Campbell and Hardin of
the Rondo aggregation met their
fate at the hands of the willy twirl-
er. Each inning from the second to
the ninth was only mere repeti-
ton of the first, in so far as the
success of the Aubrey locals was
concerned, they having secured for
themselves during this time a lead
over their opponents of 16 to 0.
On the last half of the ninth, due
to the sympathy of Brown and
Bailey in allowing Campbell's fly
to drop unmolested, the Rondo club
was allowed two runs. The main
feature of the game was the superb
pitching of Holder, who held his
opponents at his mercy throughout
the entire game.
Batteries: Rondo-Adams, Cope
land, Gist and Campbell
Aubrey-Holder and Bailey.

Illinois Farmer
Is Mental Prodigy

Have you ever heard of any per-
son who is able to say his muitlpl-
cation table up to one million, the
St. Louis Globe Democrat asks:
William Strong, a farmer OF
Washington, H., claims the distlnc-
ton of being the only person in the
world who can solve mentally with
out pen, pencil or paper any prob
lem given to him in addition, sub
traction, multiplication or division,
fractions, cube and square root.
Bankers, auditors and public ac-
countants who are familiar with
handling figures which run into the
millions have for the past FIVE years
tried in vain to originate some prob
lem which will stump the Illinois
farmer.
Not long ago a half dozen bank
ers. auditors, and expert accountants
decided to stump Strong with math-
ematical problems if such a thing
was possible. :.
These experts carefully compiled
The courier-index. (Marianna, Ark.) 1917-current, 1919-05-16

and computed the answers to loo
! problems, including addition, sub
Traction, multiplication, division,
fractions, and cube and square root.
When the work was complete Strong
was asked to appear.
The experts had prepared for a
long session. They had taken most
of one day to originate and compute
the answers to the problems.
The first question was something
like this. Add the following:
142,987
21S,339
457,856
367,892
Scarcely had the expert account
ant finished S92 of the last number
when Strong gave him the answer.
Strong's answer tailed with the ex-
perts'.
The next question was something
like this: Subtract s1,428,967 ,232
from s9,453,77s,999. Strong fash
ed the answer Immediately, and
again it was correct.
The next question was in multi
plication. The experts asked him
to multiply 548,999 by 999,999.
Without any apparent effort the an
swer came instantly, and it was cor
rect.
The accountants then shot one at
Strong, confidently expecting him
to fail, admitting that the problem
was a difficult one to figure, even
with paper and pencil.
Strong" the accountant said,
tell US how much 1,234,677, 999
2-5 times 999,988,766 7-8 is"
Strong didn't even hesitate and gave
them the answer almost Immediately.
Again it was correct.
1t took less than ten minutes for
Strong to solve the hundred prob
lens and every answer given by him
was found to be correct. He used
neither pencil nor paper, the cal
culating all being done mentally.
How about higher mathematics?
Strong was asked. Nothing doing
in my line above cube root" Strong
replied.

Aubrey SniOthers
The ROndO Team

The fans of Aubrey enjoyed see
ing the local team walk away vic
torious in the contest staged at
Rondo on Friday, May 9.
1t was a onesided affair from
beginning to end. Robinson walked
to the plate, and with his war club
cleaning in the late afternoon sun,
faced Adams, whom the Rondo fans
deemed their best material, and
upon whom they based their hopes
for the defeat of their opponents.
Alas, though, their hopes began TO
wane as the mighty Robinson's war
club came in contact with the old
pill and allowed him to land safe
on second. Next in order came
Bailey with a single, followed by
Holder with another, showing Rob-
inson, who in the meantime had

2,OOO,00O Pennies q
Day Not Enough Yet

Washington, May 11.-For the
second time since the beginning of
the war there is a dearth of small
coins in Memphis and throughout
the south. This time the shortage
lis particularly one of pennies.
The demand for one-cent pieces,
due to the new luxury tax put into
effect this month, has been so great
that Raymond T. Baker, United
States mint director, has ordered
double working shift in the Phila-
delphia mint.
At present this mint is coming
i 100000 pennies day. The mint
at San Francisco is coming 100000
pennies each day. The Denver
mint has a daily output of 100000
pennies day.
A further increase in the coming
of pennies is expected. When the
luxury tax first went into effect
there were 100000 pennies on
hand in the three minis. Since May
! every penny stored away has
been put in circulation and the
minis are keeping only a 5000
working amount of pennies in their
vaults.
Last month, treasury officials say
the three minis coined 25,066,000
pennies. 1t is expected the output
will double this amount this month.
Every day the penny is getting
more popular and the demand be-
coming greater, they say.
During the calendar year ending
Dec. 81, 1918, 370,614, 200 pennies
were coined. Piled side by side
they would stretch in a straight line
375 miles long.
On holidays the demand for pen
MES increases by the hundred thous-
ands. Each holiday, mint officials
say, they look for an increase in
the demand.
The increase in the output of pen
MES before and since the war is:
Pennies coined in 1916, 19l 900
600.
Pennies coined in 1917, 2s4, OOO,-
600.
Pennies coined in 1918, 37O,614,-
600.
Contemplated output for 1919,
400,000,OOO.

THE BIJoU.

What is the biggest question of to- day? Is it the high cost Of living, the peace treaty, the labor question, or Is ii something that interests every man and woman the world overPss4.NNhat question has caused the most agony, the most sIeepless nights and what has made more people unhappy than any other problem since the world beganR What is the greatest question that ahs grown out of our modern social system? The answer lies Tn the question Should a Husband ForgVe?0 and that is answer ed in the big photoplay of that name which comes to the Bijou Sunday night and for. the taree days following and which IS expected to create quite some fur0re i1r Ihis mans town. You, as 8 thinking person, cannot fail to be en- thralleda by this great, gripping photo play which attacks the vital problem from every angie and lays bare the sins and weaknesses of our social system in seriesso situations which grow more and more intense as the action pro- gresses. You will sympathize with
 beautiful Miriam Cooper and with Vim cent Coleman,.as the girl and the boy, you will weep with Mrs. James K. Hackett as the wife whose husband would not forgive. You will hate the loathsome villain who ruined her life, you will see the unmasking of Rex Burleigh the fine gentleman" played by Percy Standing. You will thrill and thrill as one exciting scene follows an other and you will cheer when Ruth finally rides to victory in the smashing race track finale and don't forget that you will witness likewise boxing bout which is the nearest to the genuine
 
 Sunday night there vii: also be shown another episode of The Mid night Man. with James ]. Corbett as the star and comedy "Oh, You East Lynne,s with other features. '-...
 The vaudeville which will be shown the first three days of the week in con- junction with the big picture, Should a Husband Forgive ?" will be headed by Dottie Clare and her Minstrel Maids and it is needless to remind the Bijou patrons of .Dottie Claire for she is an especial favorite with them due to her many and successful appearances here with various acts which she personally staged and produced. Dottie comes with this act herself and she has sep tet of the prettiest and c1everest girls that are swinging around the vaude- vile circuit. The special feature of the DP VIII DG HAOA gall o4i0 IdGCS TWO GIGN- CT chaps in "The Personifcation of Nonsense" and the added feature will be Ray Fern and Marie in their new offering along the lines of vaudeville diversion. Merigan and North, "The Long and the Short of It," and Arthur Hill in a. bicycle riding speciality will complete the mighty varied and pleasing combination bill and there will be con- tinuous performances daily from to 10:30 with the usual small prices of ad- mission charged. For the last half of the week lhe outstanding feature f. the vaudeville will be Tom Mac Raves Scotch Revue.
