Last March Springfield woman,
going out on shopping trip, hid the
pocketbook containing the family saw
ings in the oven of a gas stove and
when she came back home some hours
later forgot that the oven was tenn
porarily serving as safety deposit box
Being in hurry to prepare supper, she
lighted the burners of the stove and
when she again looked in the oven
found the ashes of what had once been
nine $50 bills, one $40 bill, an insur-
ai,ce policy and some other valuable
papers. What remained of the mon
ey was taken to the Springfield Saw
ings bank and that institution for
warded the ashes to Washington to
see what could be done in the way Of
obtaining the value of the burned bills.
Monday the savings bank received
check from the treasury department
for $3.50. which will make good the loss
to the family.

The Hemlock and Green Mountain
water powers. which were sold to Mas
sachusetts capitalists few days ago,
have been resold to the Public Electric
and Lighting company of st. Adams,
which now supplies the municipal plant
in Burlington with electricity. While
the price has not been made public,
the stamps on the deed indicate that
it was around 100000. 1t is the in
tention of the st. Adams company to
begin work on improving these powers
next fall. New dams will be put in
and a pond three miles long viii re-
suit. One of the dams will be 40 feet
high and it is estimated by the engi
neers that the plants will generate at
least 5000 horse power. They are four
miles below the Fairfax power and
will have electricity enough with the
other power, to furnish a city of l00,
900 people, according to the officials.

LET THEM BURGIE
THEY CAN'T GET IN

Quite heavy, awkward Job was
done last week when the Belding Saw
ings Bank people took out their old
safe equipment and installed new
modern burglar proof safe in their
vault of capacity to meet the banks
requirements for some time to come
The new safe is as near burglar proof
as it is possible tosmake them. 1t is
Of the latest ratd NJ ard designed to
give absolutely nd os.anre to the yegg
or other person who might gain en-
trance to the banks vault with evil
intentions in his mind and heart. There
isn't the slightest chance for man
to run explosive substances in any of
the cracks where the doors come to-
gether because there are no cracks
everything is machined so that il is
as if the safe were one solld block
with large cavity inside for the stor-
ing of money and valuables. The safe
weighs more than two tons and is pro-
tected by a triple time lock which in
sures instant publicity for anyone who
might attempt to tamper with its
locking mechanism. 1t is absolutely
water tight, air tight and so heavily
provided with safety devices that nevs
er since this type of safe has been
used has there been any record OF one
of them being broken open and rob
bed. incidentally, we want TO tell you
that when Cashier Lambertson showed
us the big safes interior we saw a
pile of the stuff that we are all chasing
after in there that very nearly upset
cur erstwhile steady, reputable char
acter and we turned away just before
we went wrong. However, every time
we have thought of the traditional
rainbow's end since then, somehow we
have connected it up with the interior
of the Belding Savings Banks new
safe. It's really a tragedy to show a
country editor such a sight.

DEPORTATION OF
REDS AND !. WV.
WILL PREVENT THIS
HORRORS OF BOLSHEyISM ARE
DESCRIBED BY AN ENGLISH
PREACHER WHO SAW THEM

A subscriber brings in the following
clipping. Having formerly resided
in England and being personally ac-
quainted with the Rev. r. Courtier-
Forster, its author, he says that the
seemingly unbelievable atrocities and
barbarities are unquestionably too
true.
lrhe deportation Of /. w. w. and
Red people from this country will
keep such condition from ever COM
ing to pass here.
Do English people really imagine
that the published accounts of the ap-
palling atrocities and brutal tyranny
of the Bolshevist rule in Russia are
an exaggeration?
Before God i wish | could believe
they are not true to the actual facts.
Could but find them untrue, would
speak for the Bolshevists from end to
end of England, for | have always
done what lay in my power to alleviate
the conditions of life of the manual
workers and to raise the standard Of
living and the opportunities for per-
sonal development under which they
live.
Unhappily, have spent nearly a
year in Soviet Russia, and was in
the hopless country over Seven years
before that. | have read and re-read
the letter from a British officer to his
wife respecting the unspeakable hor-
ror Of the brutalities practiced by the
Bolshevists on their martyred victims
and can find nothing which my own
experience tells me is probably in
accurate.
While / was still British chaplain
of Odessa, the city was deluged with
blood When the Bolshevist clements,
grating on to their main support the
1000 criminals released from the city
goals, attempted to seize the town,
people of education, regardless of So
cial position, offered what armed re-
sistance was in their power. Workmen
shop assistants, soldiers, professional
men and handful of officers fought
for freedom and liberty thru the
streets of the great port for three
days and nights against the bloody
despotism Of the Bolshevists. Tram
cars. were overturned in the streets,
machine guns placed in the upper
windows Of houses to NOW the thoro-

The Adrian Daily Telegram recently
took a straw vote among its subscrib-
ers on the ratification of the peace
treaty. 100 people cast votes. ACT or
approximately SO per cent stated they
were in favor of ratification without
reservations. 246 persons or 81 per-
cent asked for reservations. Still, as
others see it even had the whole 700
readers of the Adrian Daily Telegram
voted solidly for ratification, it must
be re nembered that they are but a
small part of our more than one hun
dren million population, whose silence
on the matter cannot be taken as
consenting to the ratification.

/. 1t is now the duty of all members
of school boards to attend these meet,
ings. All necessary travelling expen-
ses of all members of school boards
shall be paid from the general fund
of the school districts.
2. School officers meetings will
hereafter be held only once in each
two years.
In order that these meetings ac-
complish the object for which they
are held it is necessary that all school
officers be present. At the school of
ficers' meeting this year all phases Of
school law, the administrative work
OF school officers and topics of gener-
al interest to school officers, teachers
and patrons will be discussed. This

ty in two years for all school officers

resentative Of the state department

sonally those things that have to do
with the work Of the schools.
This not only includes the members

Wis EXPLAINS AN
9PARENT D|SCREP-
|lNCY IN TAX RATES
bND WARD TAXPAYERS COM.
PLAIN BECAUSE THEIR
RATE is HIGHER

payers in the second ward have
complaining somewhat because
became aware that their tax rate
higher than that of the people
in the third ward. A number
ond ward taxpayers paid the
is set against their property,
protest.
lrvisor w. B. Travis of the Sec
ard sends in the. following ex-
6tion of the matter.
|litor Banner-News:
Will you kindly allow me
be to say a few words about the
ward tax roll. Soon after the
IS were turned over to the Treas
some one discovered that the per-
f used in figuring up the taxes in
roll was higher than that used by
bervisor Curtis of the 3rd ward.
received several phone calls ask
g as to why it was and upon COM
ring the two rolls | found it to be
fact. The tax on 500 in the third
ard was $197 and in the 2nd ward
.01. / figured out my taxes by the
d ward per cent and found that IL
ould not raise the amount assigned
the End ward and that | was correct
Knowing that there must be some
ason for the difference | wrote the
ounty Clerk and asked for copy
the report of the apportionment
r., mittee of the board of supervi-
RS who apportion the tax to be rails
by the wards and townships in the
unity.
When / received this / found that
e clerk of the board of supervisors
Id made an error and had entered
amount of county taxes assigned
the 3rd ward in my roll, and the I'd
ard tax in Mr.. Curtis roll so that
e 3rd ward tax will fall short 1920
of the amount necessary to settle
ith the county treasurer, while my
IL carried $320.80 more than belong
to the End ward, throwing our fig
'es S641.60 apart and so account for
e difference in per cent used. Meth
Mr.. Curtis nor myself had any
cans of knowing this and each as
ssed the tax as it was charged to
lr wards in our assessment rolls, as
: were bound.
lie End ward should not of course
part of the tax for the 3rd ward
after the rolls are turned over
e is no way it can be changed.
ut at the last meeting of the city
lcil I explained the matter to them
tolj lem that in our summer tax
we a..ouid insist. that the 1920 80
= .educted from the amount of the
ward city tax and added to the
ward as the city treasurer will
obliged to use our excess in his
element with the county treasurer
make up the deficiency in the 3rd
I'd. Taking the figures assigned me
.ssess the End ward tax roll and
persons tax in it is correct.
w. B Travis, Supervisor.
