Department Plans to APP
point as Many as Possible
During Month.
SHORTAGE Is FEARED
Holders of Emergency
Commissions Due for
Discharge.

Although the appointment of ad-
ditionaI army officers was an
nounced yesterday by the War De-
partment, great apprehension is felt
in the offices of the chiefs of
branches of the army that the ap-
pointment of officers to commissions
in the regular army may not equal
the discharge of emergency officers
by the end of September.
With the increasing pressure of
business resulting from the reor-
ganization of the army the change
of personnel is expected to interfere
with smooth handing of business
To Make Appointments.
TIE War Department will make all
the appointments possible, this
month, according to it's announced
policy, in order to replace those dis
charged from their emergency COM
missions by October l.
The finance department it is
stated, cannot afford q lose many
more officers through discharge, be-
cause of the important transactions
connected with the work of this de-
partment-
Solution Seen.
A possible solution is the tempo
rary assignment of incoming off,
GERS to this department.
The Medical Corps is also hard
pressed for officers, and unless per-
marent appointments are made in
sufficient time to replace those who
are to be discharged from their
emergency commissions it is feared
that regular army officers of the
Medical Corps, Veterinary Corps and
Dental Corps, now stationed in
Washington, will be overwhelmed
with work.
1t is expected that additional pro-
motions to captaincies in the Medi-
cal Corps in accordance with the act
of June 4, 1920, will be made within
the next four weeks.

reasons for the fancy prices which
have been paid for the fruit until last
Saturday. one which seems to be the
most plausible Is that the acreage has
been greatly diminished and the city
folk have found that while they have
been payins greatly In excess OF what
Uey have IN former years, yet they
could afford TO purchase them at the
prevailing prices and then save money
according 10 the prices charged for
other foodstuffs. Another argument
advanced is that the crop OF berries
IN the South this year was not what
it has been heretofore, and thai Mary
land and New Jersey, Two OF lhe great
berry producing States, have had
worse conditions TO face than the
growers In this State.
Preserving factories throughout the
season have been paying topnoich
prices and thousands OF dollars have
been made by growers by selling 90

A STATEMENT

Having heard some talk in this
campaign to the effect that, because
few trials of criminal cases have been
had in the courts of this county, that
the work of the County Attorneys
office has been negleced. / therefore
take this method of informing the
voters just what has been accom-
plished in the way of law enforce
ments.
The expense of a trial of crimi-
nal case increase your taxes. A con-
viction on plea Of guilty saves that
expense and assures punishment of
the offender, where a trial is at best
uncertain.
1t is true that there have been few
trials of criminals in this county in
the past four years. In fact only 8
cases have been tried to a jury and
of the eight the jury returned YER
diets Of guilty in four and verdicts
Of not guilty in a live number.
However 126 cases have been dis
posed Of without expense of trial up
on pleas of guilty and in each of
these the court imposed such punish
ment as he deemed advisable.
Out Of 1873 cases handled by this
office there are only who have es-
!caped punishment.
That you may know something of
the effort that has been made by
both the County Attorney and Sher

ton.
Efforts to gather the relics Of for
gotten worship are being vigorously
prosecuted here.
So completely were the wishes Of
the missionaries carried out that moth
ing remains save traces Of the founda-
tions of the great central temple Of
Marae at Atehurn. on Tahiti island,
where human sacrifices were offered
to the bloodthirsty god of war, "Oro."
Excavations are expected to bring
to light some interesting objects,
which, 1t is hoped, will reveal the pur.
poses and uses of this ancient struc.
ture.
Marae, while being the chief temple
of Tahiti, was not the oldest or the
most Important in the islands. The
temple az Onoa. traces Of which still
remain on the island Of Raintea, was
the sacred center of religion in the
eastern Pacific and not until stone
from this had been incorporated In
the structure did the Marae temple
at Tahiti become consecrated.
1t WAS at Marae that Captain Cook
witnessed the ceremonies Of human
sacrifices chronicled in his Voyages"
The natives, while protesting Chris
tlanity md manifesting 1t by most ac-
tive church attendance, have deep
fear of these places. Under no cir
cumsrances will they approach these
temples at night, nor venture near
them by day without great trepida-
ton, believing that should they in any
way offend the sleeping gods ven
geance will come.
