Newport Raises Tax
Rate Total to $3.50

At the special city meeting it was
voted to raise the tax rate for the
City of Newport $1.19 in addition to
the amount the City Council is au-
thorized to assess under its charter,
making q total tax rate of $3.50.
This at first seemed to be an un
usually large tax but one has only
to get statistics from other cities
and towns in the county and the
state to convince them that the tax
per capita in Newport will be less
than the average. Some might argue
that he grand list in this city is
high, but the transfers of last year
show that most property sold for
double what it was in the list and in
some cases trebled.

BEEF IMPORTS GROW
Figures Are Given Out by Bureau
Of Animal Industry.
Canned and Cured Meats Show Big
Falling Of for the Period
Covered.

There was very little difference In
the quantity of fresh and refrigerated
beef imported into the United States
In 1919 and 1920, The figures are
taken from the meat inspectors re-
ports, bureau Of animal industry, Uni
red States department of agriculture.
In 10 months ended in April, 1919,
21613105 pounds Of fresh and refrige-
rated beef were imported In the
period ending at the corresponding
time In 1920 the quantity Of fresh
and refrigerated beef arriving In the
United States from foreign countries
was 27,068SS0 pounds, an increase of
about a quarter OF a million pounds.
Fresh and refrigerated meats of
other kinds jumped to twice the quan.
tity IN the 10 months ending April,
1920, as for the same period in 1919.
The figures show 7,933,377 pounds for
1919 and 14979,663 pounds for 1920.
But the canned and cured meats i'm
ported during the same periods show
a remarkable drop from 120,624, ,34S
pounds In 1919 to less than 100000
pounds In 1920 This item accounts
for the marked decrease in the total
meat products imported, The total
weight imported in the 1919 period
was 1GS,6O2,9l1 pounds, but 1920
brought only 50246.655 pounds.

1t is often a difficult business TO
get rid of knots, especially If these are
of long standing. BY following the
plan indicated it is a simple matter
to free the hardest knots, whether
these be in straps, harness, rope, cord
or anything Of a similar nature. As a
first step place the knot on some hard
surface and give it good hammer
ing on all sides with mallet or a
thick piece of wood. Now boil up a
little water with soap in it sufficient
to make rather cloudy solution.
Then soak the knot for two or three
minutes In the liquid At the end of
this time it Will be found that it can
be quite easily united, often enough
with the fingers. The loOsening can
be done with some sharp implement,

1.-THE RAINBOW GRE"
Dancing and Singing Entertainment
Friday Evening.

There is only one Rainbow Girl
on tour Consequently the only one
will be presented at Opera House
Friday, August 27.
The piece includes two score of
prominent characters, evolved by
Jerome X. Jerome, except in one or
two minor parts.
In vocal quality, in ycuthfulness and
terpsichorean agility it is claimed
that the chorus elipses anything Of
the kind introduced in recent years.
TO unfold the grace Of the individual
groupings, Joseph Urban has supplied
four interior sets which are credit
to his artistry; the costuming is as
colorful as the subject.
The music is by Louis A. Hirsch,
who wrote the score fer Going Up"
and the "Folies" The duets are
sung by atherine Shaw and George
Lydecker, who play the leads. The
eccentricity of Sam Sdman, in the
character of bishop and the grotes-
queness of Frank Harrington, in the
makeup ow an English butler, guar
antees the merriment, which is
bountiful. Indeed the piece was writ
ten with the fun element dominant.
THE Rainbow Girl is distinctly a
dancing, singing, merrymakng enter
tainment. Louis A. Hirsch has writ
ten an unusually melodic score, some
