Squash Versus Pumpkin
$ Waterbury Republican )

(Waterbury Republican, #.
 Can a squash of 122 pounds weight make more pies than a pumpkin tip ping the scales at 150 pounds?~ Tot tenville staten Island, has just seen the question settled, to all outward appearances, in favor of the squash. It seems that two bakers, % rivals, brought about the test ref One eN- hibited the giant squash in his win dow and announced that he expected to make 1000 pies of it. The other, a woman. thereupon placed the man. moth pumpkin in her window and let it be known that she planned to con- vert it into 5000 pies. Interest was hot in the Staten Island village and the coming contest was the pie, so to speak, of the conversational menu. Then the squash was converted into pies and made 173. Next the pump kin disappeared from the window and reappeared on the counters in pies, just 100 of them.
 Thus TottenNille believes the ques- tion is settled in favor of the squash Tottenville is a long ways off and we were not on the ground at the time of the contest Nevertheless con-
 cerning this decision we advise

On all sides employees are de- nanolnS increased wages and many labor difficulties have arisen with in- talcatons of unrest among the Ger man Workmen for at least some months.
 NO extensive sales of German goods to foreign buyers are recorded sln the German newspapers but Ameri- can army officers who keep account or the industrial and economic sit,a- tion assert that it is an established Tact that foreign buyers are taking advantage of the low value of the mark to purchase German products whenever possible. In Coblenz Bel gian buyers recently have been pur- chasing chinaware, kitchen utensils,
 
 ticles of general use.
 The situation has reached such proportions that the ministries of economics and finance have been dis cussing the advisability of establish ing duty on exports on the ground that "a largo part of the German ex- ports is being sold at sacrificial prices"
 The Cologne Chamber of Com- nerce, in calling attntion to the large : purchases of goods by foreigners, says that in view of the low value of the mark, these foreign purchases constitute nothing more than q com mercial plundering of Germany" The chamber, as well as others in Frankfort and elsewhere, have ad- rised German merchants when selling to foreign buyers. to charge prices somewhat in proportion to the actual value of the goods in the markets of the world.

Honolulu, Dec. 12.-The effects of bone-dry prohibition are being felt even in the Pacific, where on the Ha- Waiian islands rice is being used by illicit liquor makers into a drink al most as powerful as Japanese saki.
 Deputies of the United States mar shals office on Waialae road have seized 2,000 gallons of the mixture, which Is called okolehao mash, and the alleged owner was arrested and held for federal authorities.
 The find was made in a dilapidated wooden building where nine vats con- tained the intoxicating beverage. About 15 bags of rice were contained in the mixture and 10 more were found on hand ready for use.

was so strong that the whole question
was left open for. further consideration

In the course of his remarks on his
resolution, Doctor Tomkins read

The Singing Class from the
Odd Fellows Orphanage at Colds
boro was in the community the
first of the week, and rendered
most excellent programs.
The first concert was at Pee
Dee school Saturday night, when
$50 was realized. Sunday morn

lection amounted to $43. Mon
day night at Roberdel $54 was
taken in, and Tuesday night at
opera house at Rockingham
$74.70 was secured. The class
went from here to Aberdeen for
Wednesday night, thence to Rae
ford and will close the season at
Goldsboro Friday night. Misses
Southland and Davis are in
charge, and IA bright boys and
girls compose this excellent class.
The local Odd Fellows are al
ways glad to- have the represen-
tatives of their Orphanage come
here.
On Sunday morning a special
sermon was preached to the Odd
Fellows at the Baptist church by
Rev. Bruce Benton, the members
marching to the church. The

Lost Steadily And Could Not
Find Relief----Every Sign
of Trouble Disappeared
Since He Took Tanlac.

The remarkable experience of
Y. M. Hall, a wealthy farmer
living just out of Adrian, Geor-
gia is another striking evidence
of the extraordinary merits of
Tanlac. In speaking of his two
years of suffering and subsequent
relief, Mr.. Hall said:
Il am proud to say that have
gained fourteen pounds in two
weeks taking this Tanlac.
my trouble had been growing
worse instead of better all the
time he continued. 1T was
almost impossible for me to lay
on my left side on account of the
terrible rheumatic pains. l be-
gan to lose weight and had
fallen off until l only weighed
one hundred and thirty-eight
pounds, away below my average
weight, and could not find any,
thing to relieve my pain or build
me up.

than two years without getting
any better, someone recommend
Tanlac to me and | started TAX

AUTOMOBILE license fees paid
the Secretary of State in July
amounted to $992,O27 against
$434,913 for the entire fiscal year
of 1918.l919. The increase Is due
largely to the increased cost of
license fee, but it is also due to
the far greater number of cars
in use. For instance, in July
86,409 were licensed as against
81,7l2 for the entire previous
year.
During the year 1918-1919, the
total number of automobiles
reached 1850; motorcycles 1850,
and dealers, 682. July of the new
fiscal year brought in an ava
lanche of license applications in
which were numbered 79,200
automobiles, 934 motorcycles,
6,561 trucks, and 7l4 dealers.
The 1919 General Assembly
virtually doubled the license tax
on automobiles and motor vehi-
cles and stipulated that the. en-
tire fund, after deducting the
cost of collection, be turned over
to the State Highway Commits
sion for expenditure in the con-
struction of a State system of
roads.
The collections for Richmond
and neighboring counties are as

Mr.. Everett Writes of School

A'A~ A'>ASSS NNAAe~S va SSAACOA
AS prices commenced to mount
in the fall OF last year, it soon
became evident that we could
not expect to run the school
without providing some slight
increases in the pay of our
teachers. The School Board met
and went into a close examina.
ton of the situation and by a
unanimous vote agreed to instruct
the representative from Rich
mond County to have a bill pass
ed increasing the school levy in
Rockingham from the then rate
of 45c to &c. At that time there
was no escape from the conclus-
ion that this action was absolute
ly necessary if the schools were
to be kept going.
Things so shaped themselves
in Raleigh that this increase in
the rate was not asked for. And
why? Because the State is 60
ing to give us $4,000 per year
instead of $500 per year! We
are participating in taxes levied
in the rich counties.
In other words, we can pay
the interest on the cost of the
new building, and on the debt of
the old building and still have
left of State funds $1,000 or
1900 more from this source
than we had the year just passed.
What about the poll tax, some
one may ask. When the Consti-
tutional amendment is adopted
at the next general election, see
page 305, Public Laws 1919, the
State can never levy a poll tax
in excess of $500 and cities and
towns can never levy a poll tax
in excess of $1.O0. Total $500.
mo other poll tax shall be levied"
| You paid in 1918, State and
county 1854, town $3.75. Total
|$7.29.
When the. people ratify the
amendment it will be reduced
to $500, there to remain until &
voc of all the people of the State
shall change it. This chance is
remote, for the present section
of the Constitution has been in
force fifty years.
This, taken in connection with
Mr. Pell's article, gives the case
for the School Board, They are
asking the people to vote a build
ing which is a pressing necessity,
and have found a way to get il
without making your tax burden
Heavier.
Take the case, gentlemen, and
say how it is.
