POTATOES MISSING,
THE RECORDS SHOW.
The inventory showed from seventy
FIVE to 100 bushels of potatoes. yet the
Door farm receipted for only fifty bush
els. Out of Il half barrel of vinegar
live gallons was given to the poor farm
There were 19I half gallon cans of to
matOes and the only record Of tOmatt
distribution shows that one dozen gul-
Ion cans went to the detention home
out of twenty seven one-half gallon jar
of pickles only seven gallons went t.
the detention home. Six dozen boxer
of matches turned up missing, the Other
half dozsn going to the courthouse JAM
tor.
The receipts also demonstrate the lax
ity with which the inventory was mad
For instance the invoice shows 300
pounds Of coffee, yet receipts for SO
pounds were filed by the institutions
The same Is true Of 200 pounds of bro
ken rice, the receipts showing that 3l5
pounds were accounted for.

the items Of which there is no official
trace are: One ironing board, one cleo
trio iron. one wringer. four ironing
boards, one dozen fiat iron, two eighteen

shOtguns, two carpets (the third beina
receipted for by ]. J. Griffith. county
Surveyor. one hall llnoleum, one elec
trio motor.
The hardware and furniture evi
IDENTIFY proved attractive also. for In few
instances do the invoice and the re
ceipts correspond. An organ is missing
as well as two ice boxes, twelve lamp
shades, n small sausage grinder. 13:'
beds, two boxes Of buttons, two sewing
machines, siXty-siX mOps, two lawn

net, four record books, one water
cooler, twenty-one chairs, one clock.
three swivel chairs. three cabinets
three lock boxes, three fiat top desks
and one roll-top desk.
The distribution Of the clothing and
bedding also does not tally with the in

new shoes are missing out OF 246 shown
in the invoice. Fourteen and three
quarter dozen undershirts are unac-
counted for. l02 straw hats and ninety
eight caps.

hundred blankets were listed. but 354
were taken out. Receipts show that 203
pillows and pillow slips were received
