| The cost Of operating the court
house in 1919 is double of the cost
Qf 1918 and ~ per cent over 1917.
This is accounted for by the extended
alterations necessitated by the need
OF providing the County Treasurer
with quarters large enough and ar
ranged to properly take care OF hi,
new and increased duties. and several
Of the incoming officers were furnish.
ed additional furniture and fixtures
The new system Of heating seems to
be working in fine shape, as there is
Il decrease of 81 per cent in the fuel
account from last year. The cost per
square foot OF space occupied shows
an increase OF 30 per cent and 100 per
cent over 1917 and 1918 respectively
County Jail
Under the new statute, whereby tho
feeding Of the prisoners is done ut
actual cost under the direct supervi-
| sion Of the county board, IA consider
able saving is effected. While the
number of prisoners declined 100 per
cent and 90 per cent from 1917 and
! 1918 respectively, based upon the
! 1918 allowance Of 60 cents per day
10 the sheriff per prisoner, the saving
amounts to about 100000. OF course,
the overhead, otherwise being fairly
! constant, the decrease in the daily
cost per prisoner is only - per cent
from last year. Taking in considcra-
! ton the fact that last year a new
/ heating plant was installed in the Jail
there is practically no variation in the
repairs and Improvements account.
County Fee Offices
In comparing the percentage of ex.
p"nSeS to earnings OF the yarious
county fee offices the only fair com.
parison is with the year 1917, when
the business done was more normal
than during the active war period of
1913. We then find that he percent.
age is the same in the offices of the
Circuit Clerk and the Sheriff a de.
crease is found in the offices of the
Probate Clerk and Recorder, and an
increase in the Office Of the County
Clerk. A material reduction in the
deficit OF the Office Of States Attor.
ney is shown from 60 per cent 10 T.
per cent.
Total Expenditures.
The total expenditures for all pur
poses snow reductions IN the accounts
Of the Tuberculosis Sanitarium. Re
coider and superintendent Of Schools,
with increases in the accounts OF
roads and bridges. elections, treas
urer and Improvements of the court
house Expenditures for all CHART;
able purposes show little variation,
and he decline in the cost of the
court and criminal business is chiefly
due to the reduction of expenditures
at the county jail. There is a total
decrease OF about SI,50000 from last
year
In conclusion | wish to state that
the danger Of not being able to SO.
cure sufficient coal for the various
county institutions has passed, and
we are now getting cars released by
the regional coal committee fast
enough to take care OF our wants, and
am further assured that we will
have prompt attention in the future.

Laying Out Grounds.

When laying out grounds, planting
plans should be made first showing
the location of every tree and shrub
on the place. Decide whether the
method of planting is to be formal or
natural. In the city or town lots where
space is limited the formal plan is per-
haps the best, while with the large
suburban homes and country places
there is a splendid opportunity for the
development of the natural style.
Where the area is large 1t is possible
to have a small body of water, groves
of trees, and large groups of shrubbery.
For small lots, where more care can
be given to the plants, an elaborate
plan may be advisable. In some cases
home makers are able to devote a
great lea of time to the upkeep of the
landscape. Some trim their hedges in
such shapes and fashions that green
statues of all the animals and fowls
of the barnyard are left posing on the
lawn.

REMARKABLE RACE BY HORSE

In a 3OO-mile endurance contest
with horses of the purest Arabian
breeding, Castor" a Morgan gelding
bred by the United States department
of agriculture at its Middlebury, VT,
Morgan horse farm. was the only
horse with a clean speed record at
the end of the fourth day of the
grueling contest. Castor won third
place for speed at the end of the con
test, Notwithstanding the fact that he
fell In the deep sand on n bad bit of
road, injured his nose, and made the
last five miles in a walk. This
achievement is an indication of what
has been accomplished by the depart

Painting adds greatly to the APP
pearance and service of all buildings
and appliances. One may buy ready
mixed paints or may purchase paste
pigments and oil and mix them. All
surfaces should be clean and dry be
fore they are painted. Use a printing
coat made of equal parts of paint and
linseed oil and cover with one or
more coats of paint, which should be
thoroughly brushed into the surface.
WhitewaSh is the cheapest of all
paints, and may be used either for ex-
terror or interior surfaces. 1t can be
made by shaking about ten pounds of
quicklime in n pail with two gallons
of water, covering the pail with cloth
or burlap and allowing it to slake for
one hour. Water is then added to
bring the whitewash to a consistency
which may be applied readily. A
weatherproof whitewaSh for exterior
surfaces may be made as, follows:
% Stake l bushel of quicklime in II
gallons of hot water; (2) dissolve 2
pounds of common salt and / pound of
sulphate of zinc in . gallons of boil
ing water; pour (2) into Q), hen add
2 gallons of skim milk and mix thor
oughly. Whitewash is spread lightly
over the surface with a broad brush.

thought Can Do to Aid in
Towns Development.

The business men of an Ohio COM
munity discovered, some years ago,
that a considerable portion of the saw
ings Of its people were flowing out into
the hands of promoters of wildcat
schemes, and that other funds were
being invested outside the community
in enterprises that were certainly no
more promising than the community
itself could afford.
SO a committee of members of the
commercial organization was formed.
and it was announced that this COM
mittee would pass upon investments
offered to the people-this being before
Ohio had a blue sky" law. The COM
mercial body frankly announced that
capital was needed for the further de-
velopment of the city's natural re-
sources. While members of the COM
mercial body pledged themselves to
give preference to local investments,
there was little difficulty in gaining
almost as complete cooperation from
non-members of the organization.
Money was kept at home, and it went
largely into the financing of the city's
natural industrial expansion.
Here was another instance wherein
the natural curse of development was
most obvious, but in this II the peo-
Pile saw it, while in so many instances
they overlook 1.-THE Nations Busi-
ness.
