Along Auto Roc
BY T. n. LACY.

Al long step forward was taken oy
automobile dealers last wednesday
when they deterrni ned to- organize an
automobile dealers association Tor
Pensacola. Permanent organization
wiz be effected Wednesday night,
Jan. 81 when a meeting viii be held
at o clock in TIE rooms OF the
Chamber Of Commerce. Temporary
President Tebault desires that every
auto and accessory dealer be present
1T the appointed hour. No one should
walt for a special invitation as this IS
q matter which vitally interests every
person who sells anything pertaining
to an automobile.
An automobile association elevates
the business and b-ings dealers into
closer relations ana as result the
dealer as well as he public is bene-
fitted After a constitution and by
laws are adopted and the association
gets on a working basis. then the mat
ter of affiliating with other organ
izations will be in order. It has been
suggested that the automobile club
should place itself under the protect
ing wings of the Chamber of Com
merce from the start. If they allow
themselves to be absorbed before they
are scarcely born it will be a great
mistake. AS a matter OF fact IL the
Chamber OF Comm cree had felt the
need of an automobile dealers club
they should have aiken the initiative
IN the organization. The Chamber Of
Commerce has its ( cid and the mission
OF the automobile dealers is entirely
different. Every dealer should belong
20 the Chamber OF Commerce and if
thew don't it is probably due to the
fact that the membership committee
~ the Chamber OF Commerce hasn't
been as aggressive as they should
have been.
The main thing sor the new organ
iZation to consid IS whether or not
to hold an automobile show during
February. 1t is a big undertaking
but one that is eu tirely worth while
An automobile show viii bring fac
tory experts to Pensacola and attract
visitors from every section of West
Florida. 1t win be worth thousands
OF dollars to the city and result in
much good advertising. Everybody
VIII be talking aut omobiles and aside
from sales made during the week
there win be enough prospects uncov-
cred to keep the dealers working si1
months. Such was the result Of the

vile. the publicity for which wa.
handled by the writer In 1918 the
war interfered with the Jacksonville
show and in 1919 the fair absorbed the
auto exhibits with The result that VERY
few OF the dealers were satisfied. AT
automobile show is big enough to be
the whole thing and does not thrive
when It becomes a side show. The
same applies to al automobile deal
er's club.

books of adventure

"Snow White and the

positively the most
immoral tale! "Im-

Sixth District Netus Notes
Items and "reminiscences by An Old Timer With His
Ear to the Grass Roots.

to go to New York and meet Gould
and ask of him a donation to help
meet the Indebtedness of the college
which had been named for him. Han
back made the trip. he saw the big
man and made known to him what he
was there for. Gould turned him
down. The boom quit the town some
time after, and the college closed and
was torn down and the material used
in other buildings.
One of the popular water resorts in
northwest Kansas in the early times
was Lake Beaver, adjoining Atwood.
The lake was formed by damming the
Beaver creeks. At one time there were
from twenty-five to thirty-five sl1iff
boats owned by business men and
citizens on the lake, and in the sum-
mer season they were usually in use.
Tho writer of these notes was spend
ing a Sabbath IN Atwood. Judge G.
Webb Bertram was holding court. We
visited the lake after dinner. We got
into a boat, and when in rnid-lake a
fearful wind came up, the boat rocked,
the waves dashed high, we were wet
up to our necks, and the boat full of
water. By wading a part of the way
and pushing or hauling the boat we
got back on land, and taking the
back way we went to the hotel, nor
did We leave the room until our
clothes were dry. Judge~Bertram
the Associated Press daily papers the
next day arrived in Atwood telling all
about the narrow escape of the judge
from drowning in Lake Beaver.
In pioneer days the two most IA
nous hotels in the Sixth district were
! the Little Soddy located in Plainville,
and the Occidental in Grainfield.
Every candidate for office, either con-
gressiona1 or state, campaigning was
glad to eat and sleep at either of these
hotels. The one was built almost en-
tirely of sods, hence it's name of Little
Soddy; the other was frame. They
were crowded all the time, and Sun
days there wasn't room to accommo-
date the guests. Nor would the land
lady tolerate a bed bug in either
hotel. The dining tables were always
the Occidental one seldom sat down
to a meal without some wild game on
the table before him. The sod hotel
was torn down years ago to make
room for fine residence; the other
was operated for many years by Geo.
S. Dryer, now postmaster in Grain
field. The district never had more
popular hotels than these two were.
The first Populist congressional
convention held in the Sixth district
was at Hill City. William Baker, of
Lincoln county, was nominated in a
hall behind locked doors. No one
could get inside without the pass word
i Even the windows were guarded. Ba-
ker served three terms. He said to
your iternizer at the close of his third
| term that he had easily saved $4,000.

Inheritance Tax Comes Mostly
From Nonresidents.
Out of $125,OOO So Far This
Year, They Give $4,000.
DOES NOT MEAN DISL0YALTY
Out of State Indirect Heirs Re-
spOnsible for Funds.
One Payment Recently From
Two France Residents.

The greater portion of inheritance
taxes paid to the state of Kansas IN
der the state inheritance tax law
comes from without the state. Rec
ords of inheritance tax payments for
the past six months-the first six
months OF the current fiscal year,
July l to February 2S-show $125,SS1
of which the payments from outside
the state aggregated $72,080, and from
resident inheritance taxpayers, 1891.
The inheritance tax payments are
growing from year to year, indicating
either that estates are much larger
than heretofore or more of those own
ing large estates are passing away.
The inheritance tax payments for the
fiscal year of 1919-ending June so,
1919-amounted to $24S,531, of which
non-residents paid S170,756, and resi-
dents of Kansas paid $T7,775. The
record tax paid by heirs of a single
estate since the inheritance tax law
went into effect in 1904 was 100000
Tax From France.
An inheritance tax payment recently
was made by two residents of Paris,
France, Albert Jean and Jules Tsch.
1t was for 1910.
The fact that non-residents pay
larger per cent of the inheritance tax
does not necessarily mean that it is
customary for people to grow rich in
Kansas, only to leave their property to
relatives back in the old home state"
said N. A Turner, deputy state audi
tor. ''As a rule the heirs living out
side the state are not direct heirs of
the deceased, and therefore have to
pay a much larger per cent of the
amount of their inheritance to the
state than do direct heirs"

mOdations for 400.
Purchase of 800 Acres of Land
Has Been Contemplated.

Appropriations totaling s35S,000 for
the improvement of the Kansas IN
dustrial and Educational institute east

ress has been made in the negro insti-
tuition since it was placed under the
control of the state board of admins
tration in July. 1918. There are now
154 pupils enrolled, and il is desired
to extend the buildings to accommo-
date at least 400 persons.
Among the recommendations which
the principal makes for the improve
nent OF the institute are: repairs of
the present buildings and the building
of some new cottages and dormitories;
improvement of the sewage system;
purchase of 400 acres additional land:
construction of a central heating
plant and equipment; a greenhouse
and equipment; adequate fire protec-
ton; roads and sidewalks.

Topekans with relatives in Germany
are gradually learning the story OF
hardship and want kept secret so long
by the news blockade maintained by
tho German government during the
war.
With the opening of mail communal
cation between Germany and the
United States and with the ban lifted

y. H Wolff, Topeka tailor, 42s
Kansas avenue, in letters he has re-
ceived from relatives living in Ger
man provinces, has learned the story
of food shortage existing there. Cof-
fee is as rare in Germany as cotton
hosiery in the wardrobe of Topeka
stenographer.
Several months ago Wolff sent .
sister two pounds of coffee, which is
the limit in one shipment. She wrote
telling him that it was the first tins
in two years they had tasted real cof-
fee. Toasted wheat was used as a
substitute.
Soap is another rare article in that
country noted for its cleanliness. But
ter also is placed in a list of Injuries,
especially in the cities.
Bootleg Prices for Candy.
Chocolate candy and all other as
sentiments of candies vie in fabulous
prices with whisky in Kansas. Wolff
has sent many small boxes of candy
to his relatives in the old country and
in letters of appreciation he learns
that it was the first time real candy
had been eaten since the days befors
the war cloud broke over Europe.
A limit of two pounds is placed by
the government on all articles. No
American citizen is permitted to send
more than two pounds of any one
articles at any time.
Before the war Germany always re-
ceived the bulk OF the foreign mali
sent out of this city. Now with the
ban lifted. German mail is again in
the lead in mail sent out of here TO
foreign countries, according to post
office employees.
