$4,000 GALLONS
OF OIL Per MONTH

County gas and Oil Inspector,
Burton Roberts, estimates that
between $4,000 and 10000 gallons
Iof gasoline are being consumed in
Madison county every thirty days
and this is placing the estimate
very conservatively, in his opin-
i ion.
The tax is being withheld for the
state and Kentucky will hear
from Madison county the first of
| the month. This will be but for
4 part of the month, however,
since the law did not become eff
fective until June II. 1t is also
the belief that there will be some
more satisfactory manner of col
Ilecting the tax, and that the work
will simply consist of keeping a
record of the oil sent into the
county and the appropriate tax
collected accordingly. The re-
ltailers, generally speaking, are
keeping record of all gasoline sold
SO there will be,no complications
arise from this point, however, it
| is desired that the law will soon
become more plain.

KING or ALL "RAINMAKERS"
Secr-. Of Success Of Soil, Greencup,
Who Is Well Remembered - the
West, Was Simple.

Given an Ingenious tnind and an eye
to business, live man can make mon
ey out of almost any old thing.
Perhaps you remember the extraordi-
nary success scored some years ago
by Solly Greencup, the rainmaker. If
not, you can read his record in port
folio of newspaper clippings collected
all the way from Nome to San Diego,
from eastern Oregon to western Kan
sas.
Solly Greencup, indeed, occupied for
a while a position unique In the annals
of meteorology Scientists might doubt
and cynics might scott, but whenever
Solly went after the rain clouds he al
ways got 'em. Moreover he didn't
work on ''the heads-I-win, tails-you-
lose" principle of some other rainmak-
ers. Solly Greencup. when he once de-
cided he could produce rain in q given
district. always backed his opinion
with hard cash. If he asked the farm
ers to put up $1,000 for an inch of
rain, he put up another $1,000 himself
as forfeit in case he failed And he
always won.
Greencup never explained his meth
DDS. All the farmers wanted was the
rain. All Greencup wanted was the
money. With the result both were
satisfied. His apparatus consisted Of
a flag pole, an electric battery, a kite
with a metal tail and an air balloon
filed with a mysterious gas. If scien-
fists demanded the reason for these
contrivances, he shook his head and
smiled.
Sometimes Greencup would have to
stay long time In a locality before
he could find the exact combination
necessary to coax the wet forces into
action. Sometimes he had to confess
that the drys were too strong for him.
But as so0f as he posted his forfeit
and set up his apparatus the desired
moisture followed in a few days
Once in Elsinore valley he gave the
ground good soaking for paltry
$500. thus saving a 81 100000 grain
crop. OF course he made tidy for
y
his charges exorbitant. And everybody
admitted he was q good sport. As he
grew wealthy Greencup never gave
himself frills nor assumed the title of
professor" These things were after
ward remembered TO his credit.
A few gsars ago Greencup went per-
manently out Of the rainmaking bust
ness. In a street car accident he lost
his left foot which had to be ampu-
tated above the ankle After that for
love or money he refused to expert
ment with the weather.
When che secret of his success was
finallr revealed some carping moralists
called him make-helieve. He never
claimed, like another famous person
age, to be in partnership with the
Almighty. But at least he had done
something that nobody in the world
had ever done before.
He had capitalized corn.

Ellsworth will have a democratic
administration the coming municipal
year for the first time since 1918.
The voters so declared Monday, en-
phatically. Mayor A. c. Hagerthy
was victim ofthe periodical desire
for a change that affects the voters
of every community. He has had a
remarkable record as holder of the
mayoralty record unparalleled in
the State Thirteen times he has
been the republican nominee for the
office, and eleven times he has been
elected. The men elected to admin
lister the city's affairs are new to the
business, except Mayor-elect Frank
L. Heath. who has served as alder
man. They are mostly young men,
right-minded, and will, we believe,
setting aside party utilization, give
their best efforts tothe city's inter
ests. Several other Maine cities held
elections Monday. Waterville, Lew
iston and Rockland elected demo-
cratic governments; Eastport, Saco
and South Portland went republican,
while Bath split honors, with a re-
publican board and a democratic
mayor

Jap Industry Hard Hit.

During the war the Japanese zinc
industry was very prosperous and
large profits were made on ore which
vas imported from Australia and the
French Indies The signing of the
armistice, however has dealt a hard
blow TO this industry. and it is reported
that 1t costs 5000 a ton to produce Jap
anese zinc, while the market price Is
only $1S7 a ton. II is expected that
this will result in a request for sub
sides and import protection. since the
deposits of japanese ore are of such
inferior quality that competition with
imported ore cannot be met success
fully.
