have Of a monthly report and Balance
Sheet. But your ledgers should re,
fleet the same condition. You told NE
yourself that you did not particularly
Fay much attention to the ledger.
Some such error has happened in the
past, before January /, 1919. similar
to the one you mention in the year we
audited when you did not carry the
correct balance of $24,130.O1 instead
of $1S,771.52 as you have it.
The only way the County could be
injured would be in case some time
when you were endorsing warrants
there should be $11,00000 more to
credit of General Fund than you have
and interest was paid when there were
no funds with which to redeem or if
in the future your General Fund should
be depleted according to your ledger
and warrants were endorsed while
true balance would show money on
hand to redeem.
Another thing, if in making the bud
get there were $11 100000 more entitled
to be credited to General Fund than
the ledger accounts show it might
make some differenhe in regard to the
amount to be raised by taxation
Those two points are the only ones
mentioned in my letter to the Court
touching on the matter.

ter simply as a clerical error that
should be corrected.

Toledo, Or, May 25th, 1920.
To the Honorable County Court,
Toledo, Oregon.
Gentlemen.
In the Yaquina Bay News of MAY
18Th, appeared an article relative to
letter written the court by Max
Crandal regarding his examination of
the books of my office, and indicating
in said article that some fake had been
jugglei so that the county had lost
scme interest or had paid interest on
outstanding warrants that it would
not have paid if the amount had been
properly accounted for In the issue
of said paper dated May Goth, they
attempted to correct the former article
but still leave the impression that the
county was injured by a clerical error
In balancing the state and county fund
November 30th, 1919. AS matter OF
fact the error made in balancing said
fund was $5,35S.49, and not $11 900 90
as indicated by said article and the
letter Of Crandall, and is fully explain
ed in my letter of the 18th addressed
to Crandall, copy OF which | here
with submit for your inspection, also
the reply of Mr.. Crandall.
| regret very much to be drawn into
making explanations over as absurd
and foolish matter as is envolved in
this controversy. Any book-keeper
knows that errors of this kind are
common and frequently made, and no
one with any knowledge of the hand
ling of the county funds would al.
lege that any INJURY was done the
county by clerical error of this kind.
However in view Of the fact that
some good people might be led astray
by the articles above mentioned /
herewith submit to the Court, the fol-
lowing proposition: That the court
select any expert accountant that they
wish, to make an examination of the
books of my Office from the time took
charge Of the Office down to the date
of the Crandall report, and If said ex-
animation shows that all money re-
ceived by me has not been properly
accounted for or that the County has
lost one cent by any official act of mine
as County Treasurer, | will personally
pay the expense OF said examination,
but If said examination shows the
contrary, then the court to pay the
expense of said examination.
Insinuations may be proper in the
heat of q political campaign, but 1t
is facts that the taxpayers Of Lincoln
County want, and they are entitled to
the same.
Respectfully submitted,
Ira Wade, Co. Treasurer.
TIC the Honorable County Court,
Lincoln County, Oregon.

GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur

Hair that loses it's color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by lack Of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur to keep her locks dark and beau
tiful and thousands of women and
men who value that even color, that
beautiful dark shade of hair which is
so attractive, use only this old-time
recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix

other ingredients by asking at any
drug store for bottle of Wyeth's

darkens the hair so naturally, so
evenly that nobody can possibly tell
it has been applied. You just damp
en- sponge or soft brush with it and
one small strand at time. By
morning the gray hair disappears;
but what delights the ladies with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is that, besides beautifully darken-
ing the hair after few applications,
