WHERE TOMMY MADE A POINT
Never Noticed That Quite SIM
pie Truth Before.

Arilh, etic, according to the average
small boy, was simply invented in or
der to give teachers good excuse for
furnishing their unhappy pupils. And
certainly little Tommy Smith found it
the unpleasant feature Of his young
life.
"Now, Tommy Smith, said the
school teacher one morning, during the
usual hour of torture, what is the
half of eighth"
(which way, teacher?" asked the
youngster cautiously.
(Which way" replied the aston
ished lady. "What do you mean?'
"WeIl, on top or sideways, teach
err" said Tommy.
"What difference does that make?'
"Why." Tommy explained, with a
.,itying air, "half of the top of eight
is nought, but half of il sideways is
three."-London Answers

CARRIES MONEY IN BARROW
Employee of Treasury Department
Has Carried Millions of Dollars
During His Long Service.

In the redemption division of the
United States treasury there Is a
wheelbarrow which. though appar-
emily only an ordinary wheelbarrow
of the ordinary barnyard type, is In
reality probably the most remarkable
wheelbarrow in the world.
This barrow came to the depart
ment In the administration Of An
drew Jackson and during the 81 years
which have elapsed since then has
transported many billions of dollars
worth of paper currency.
For the greater part of that 81 years
it has been chartered by. James D..
Rowe, eighty-year-old veteran EN-
pIoyee of the department, Who during
So of his "a years of service there has
worked in the redemption division.
That mutilated or badly soiled piece
of paper money which you exchange
at the bank for crisp new bill doubt
less is some day due for a joyride on
Mr.. Rowe's famous barrow. Such cur
rency, recalled from circulation. Is as
sembled by national banks and sub
treasures throughout the country and
shipped to the redemption division OF
the treasury at Washington where 1t
Is stored in vaults in the basement OF
the building
After being counted the usage
Scared banknote is perforated with
two holes at each end to insure cancel
lation. The bill is then cut in two, the
halves going to different offices OF the
department. At each a count is made
as a means of checking with the orig
inal figures of the treasury.
The bureau of engraving and print
ing utiliZes the discarded certificates
by reducing the halved bills to pulp,
which is sold to paper manufacturers
and used for making high grade writ
ing papers. Thus, in these days OF
speedy evolution in domestic relations,
il is not impossible that the 500 Dill
with which you paid the installment
on that diamond ring in 1919 may re-
turn to you in 1921 in the form of a
nicely typewriter decree of divorce.
Mr. Rowe will be eighty years ola
October II, 1920, and has served under
score of secretaries of the treasury.
m addition to his skill in manipulating
The remarkable wheelbarow. Mr.
Rowe in his younger days was re-
novncd as the champion rapid-fire Sill
yer dollar counter of the treasury. On
one notable occasion, according to de-
partment traditions, he counted ana
piled within period of a hours ~
tons of silver dollars, consisting OF 81
600 bags. each weighing GU pounds

GEORGES PATIENCE GONE
And the Youngster Signified the Fact
With Slang Phrase Much to
the Point.

"SIang and children are the two
most prominent paths by which COL
loquiaI and technical terms come into
everyday use," remarked Professor
Jorgan. only the other day l over
heard two small boys talking to-
gether.
George had a better memory than
his brother, and Roger was always
trying to get him to remember things
for him. George got tired of this.
and when Roger wanted him to re-
member something he must do before
school time the next morning, he
asked:

parking place for what you want to

To the Honorable Members of the

Gentlemen:
In conformity to well established
tive OF the city desire at this time to
briefly outline what with your valued
help has been accomplished.
Financial.
In the management Of the city's
finances we have had many serious
obstacles to contend with. The state
took away u evenu from licenses,
exacted a large fee for the work
creased our insurance costs. During
our term, the cost OF labor and sup
plies has advanced nearly, if not
quite n hundred per cent. In ad-
dition to this. our state legislature
penalized us by enacting a vicious
law limiting our appropriations to a
pre-war basis. In spite Of these
handicaps. the city's bonded indebt-
edness has been reduced by $23,000.-
90. 100000 of this was applied
upon our ancient bridge debt. We
expended l 100000 upon a new roof
for the filter plant. During this
time also, nearly $3e,e0o.00 of special
bonds have been can
celled. The city passes from n ad-

lies in the purchase of supplies.
chiefly fuel for the coming months.
We were warned to secure this early
while it was possible 80 to do. This
being now on hand can cry properly
be charged to the incoming adn,inis-
|tration. Taxes have been slightly re-
duced. There is a great and growing
menace to the financial standing of.
the city in the uncollected taxes on
city improvements. All legislation so
far enacted has failed to mitigate this
evil.
Health.
During our term no case Of ty-
phoid fever has developed within the
city. This fact demonstrates the pur-
ity and safetySof our water. We have
had two epidemics of influenza and
one of diphtheria. These are not
classed by scientists as ~preventable
diseases and were apparently UNI

Kind and competent instruction have
made marked and gratifying im,-
provement in their methods. y
Streets and Roadways.
Our streets and roadways have
been kept in as good condition as our
limited equipment and appropriation
would allow.
Fire Protection.
We have had no extensive confa-
grations. The work done by our de-
partment is nowhere surpassed.
Police Protection.
The wave of crime has been kept
at a low ebb. Malefactors have been
quickly apprehended and brought to

has been greatly bettered. Many
have become self supporting and our
expenditures Sare growing lighter
month by month.

accomplishment without the splendid
support you have given and the mag
