warrant Indebtedness. The county
could then be placed OH cash basis
which would do away with the dis
counting of county warrants which
would wipe out another approximate
10 per cent waste to those who have
claims against the county and must
of necessity accept county warrants
in payment
Once the present warrant indebted
ness is refunded and the county's $
business placed on cash basis, every
effort should be made to keep it So.
We now have sufficient taxable pro
perty in this county SO that this could
be done, and besides, the taxable pro-

increase as more land is proved up
and more Indians are given patents
to their lands, SO with little ecoho-
my and business judgement there Is
no good reason why we could not con
tinue on cash basis Indefinitely,
once we had our present indebtedness
taken care Of for a period Of years, and
thus save the taxpayers neat little
sum each year.
AS to the other points made In the
County Auditors letter we will say
that they are no doubt true and well
taken. OF course comparing the in

good showing can be made, as every

In conclusion we will say that the
political campaign is over and we did
not write our comment last week with
the idea of casting any reflection on
any individual or a political party,
but merly stated facts as we deducted
them, with the hope that we might
arouse public sentiment, and perhaps
in this way devise some means OF bet
tering our condition as regards the
county's Indebtedness and also effect a
saving.

THE POULTRY INDUSTRY.

The poultry industry in Mellette
county is branch OF farming that
will let stand considerable develop
ment. 1t is fact. that with the ex-
ception Of possibly very few months
in the height OF the summer, Molet-
tie county does not now produce en-
ough eggs to supply the home demand
ct alone any for shipment to the east
ern markets, and poultty raising at
The present price of eggs and chickens,
is certainly branch Of farming that
is worth while.
Poultry farming. If rightly conduct
ed can be made TO yield mighty good
income on the investment We need
more poultry yards in this county,
and right here we would suggest that
it is just as cheap and much more
profitable to raise pure bred stock
than it is to raise the ordinary mon
grei barn yard fowl There are sever
Ill fine tlocks Of pure bred chickens in
the county now, and we would like
to see nothing but pure bred poultry
on every farm in this county.
We would like to see enough poul-
try raised in this county to supply
the home demand for eggs and poul-
try and then good surplus to ship,
and when enough is raised to assure a
good export supply, then we would
ike to see the cooperative marketing
plan in marketing eggs and poultry.
that we spoke Of last week with re.
gard to hams and bacon, used. The
surplus eggs and poultry could be
sold direct to the consumer In the
larger cities, and delivery made via
parcel post.
BY raising only pure bred stock the
eggs would be Of uniform size and col
or, and il guaranteed strictly fresh,
would command better price and
there would soon be good market de
veloped for strictly fresh MeIette
county eggs. Then to, a pure bred
chicken when put on the market looks
much better than the common mon
grel, and has tendency to command
better price, even for eating pur-
poses.
The marketing Of both eggs and
poultry should be under the super
vssipn Of an expert in that line, and
the packing should be such that both
eggs and poultry should reach the ulti-
mate consumer In prime condition.
and in this way Mellette county pro-
ducts could build up distinctive mar
ket and the demand would grow and
probably be greater than the supply,
and therefore the price would always
be the best.
In this cooperative marketing plan
when fully developed, there should be
a central store house and shipping de-
pot, located at Wood, and this should
be in charge Of an expert In this line,
and when 1t got to running In good
shape, regular monthly or weekly
bulletin should be issued giving a list
of absolutely pure, wholesome Me Gillette
county farm food products that could
be supplied to the consumer direct

loved children, especially children of
his own stricken people. 1t hurt his
great heart to see them suffer, and he
was determined to save their young
lives at his own expense, so he built a
magnificent children's hospital and
furnished it with the most modern in
struments and improvements. He got
for it the finest medical experts and
nurses. Now there are thousands of
Rumanian children who are alive to
bless him, because of its existence
This children's hospital is one of the
finest institutions in Rumania and

During the war when there were
many suffering war victims, he Or
ganized the first relief committee. He
gave much from his own funds and
collected still larger sums from others
and aided the war stricken as far as
ne could. In cooperation with Others
he later established public kitchens
which distributed millions of plates of
soup and portions of bread. Thous-
ands were saved from the cruel fangs
of starvation through his efforts.
When the work of the Joint Dis
tribution Committee extended to Ru-
ia, Adolph Solomon was unanim-
ously elected chairman of the local
committee, and he devoted his days
and nights to the relief work.
The war orphans were not forgotten
by him, either. Through his initiative.
and at first with his money, the Blu.
charest Jewish women founded one or

asylum, especially for girls, where
several hundred destitute Jewish chill
dren are given home and real jew
ish education.

Adolph Solomon was versatile ge.
MUS. His forceful character made him
leader everywhere. He was one of
the foremost leaders of the Rumanian
Jews in their struggle for emanicpa-
ton. In the absence of the President
of the Federation of Rumanian- Born
Jews" who was abroad for several
years, the whole work of this organi-
cation devolved upon him as vice pres
ident, and several other leaders. Dur
ing the German occupation of Buch-
Arrest, he represented the Jewish inter-
ests. 1t was a difficult, critical period
which demanded the utmost loyalty
and devotion, much tact and great
personal sacrifice. Adolph Solomon
did his duty honestly and faithfully.

city and the Rumanians began to or
ganize pogrom against the Jews. He
went to the Mayor of Bucharest, to
the Minister of the Interior, and to
the Project of the Police and demand
ed protection for the Jews. When
these refused him and pretended that
nothing was going to happen, he re-
turned to the Allied Command. Here
he was told that they could not inter-
fere with the internal affairs Of Ru-
mania. So he organized Jewish de-
fence guard and warned that the Jews
were going to defend themselves. For
the first time in the history of Ru-
mania, the Jews organized and armed
themselves to stave off brutal attack.
When the pogrom did come, the Jews
bravely defended themselves. The au-
thorities stormed and threatened, but

ADOLPH SOLOMON, LEADER OF
RUMANIAN JEWRY, DEAD.
By Leo Wolfson.

in Bucharest last June 10Th. he news
papers also report that all the Jews
of Rumania are mourning for him;
that on the day of his funeral all the
Jewish business houses in Bucharest
were closed, and that thousands GATH
cred at his grave to do him final hon.
or. Panegyrics were delivered by the
leading rabbis and the foremost Jewish
citizens. In many of the other cities
of Rumania memorial meetings were
held. Everyone mourns the irrepara-
BILE loss which Rumanian Jewry suf-
fered through his demise. In him all
have lost staunch defender of their
interests; the orphans and the wild
ows-a protector; the Destitute
friendly, helping friend and teacher.
Adolph Solomon was one Of the
most interesting personalities in Ru-
mania. He was self-made man. Born
of poor parentage, seventy years ago,
his educational opportunities were
most meagre. Altogether, he only
completed two grades of the primary
schools. As boy he worked as an ap-
prentice at iron work. After learning
the trade thoroughly he opened fac
tory of his own, the first modern iron
factory in Rumania. 1t was he that in
troduced and developed the hearth
process Of producing iron. In time he
became a great manufacturer and en-
ployed many workers.
But Adolph Solomon's interests
were by no means limited to iron and
steal production and the accumulation
of wealth. He educated himself, mas
tered a number of languages, and for
the last forty years took keen inter-
est in all Jewish affairs. During the
last number Of years, especially since
the war between Rumania and Bulgar-
ia in 1912, he has devoted his time and
energy to Jewish interests. Having
worked hard all his life time, he
sought to instill in the Rumanian Jews
a respect for manual labor. In Ruman-
in the workers were regarded as men,
bers of an inferior class, and 1t was
against this prejudice that he fought
with all his might. He felt that the po-
sition of the Jews in Rumania would
improve when they would cease to be
ashamed Of honest handiwork. AT his
own expense he built manual train
ing school where hundreds Of young
men learned trade and were enabled
to earn a respectable living through
their work. For years he kept up this
school at his own expense, and at
great sacrifice Of time and energy
His is the only manual training school
for Jews in the whole Of Rumania, and
Il will remain a monument to the ben
evidence and generosity Of Adolph
Solomon.
So dear was this school to him dur
ing his lifetime that hardly day
passed, rain or shine, however busy he
might have been with other things,
that he should not have visited it to
encourage the teachers and pupils,
There were periods of depression.
Sometimes there was lack Of money.
Mr.. Solomon was not one Of the rich
est Jews Of Rumania. He put himself
into debt. He borrowed money-that
the school might continue, and that
Jewish children might receive an edu-
cation.
In Bucharest there were many jew
ish poor, and many Jewish children

FINANCIAL WIZARD STILL IN DEFIANT
 MOOD TO OFFICIALS
"Show Me My Liabilities, I'll Show Cash," Says
 POnZi

Boston, Aug. 4.-Charles Ponzi whose offer of 50 per cent return on investments in ninety days has re- suited in federal and state investi- gations, declined today the sugges- tion of Attorney-G General Allen, that the state conduct an investigation to determine his assets. The audit now being made by federal authorities is or the purpose of disclosing his lia- bilities.
 "There is no law which can force me to show all my assets" MT. Ponzi asserted. "Show me my liabilities and I'll show enough cash to cover them."
 The offers of the Securities Ex- change company, conducted by Ponzi continued throughout the day to hon. or all notes presented by an ever di- minishing line of investors. At the end of the eighth day, the run on Ponzi, caused by investigations and published criticisms of his business methods appeared to have reached the end.
 Holders of notes were paid off to- day at the rate of sixty an hour and at no time were more than 100 wait ing in line.
