The Merchants Go on
Record for Finance Committee

page
appoint building and finance com.
mittee, which will handle the fin
ances >of the schools and make dis
bursements, and properly audit ac-
fed that when they vote money, that
it will be expended in a business like
and the most satisfactory way. The
resolution provides that the finance
building committee shall consist of
two members from the school board
and two members from the outside
that have no connection with the
school board.
The meeting was presided over by
President George j. Starr and Miss
Culpepper was at her post. The min
utes were read and approved.
The matter of tax on gross sales to
raise revenue for the federal govern
ment was brought up and discussed
by Elder S. B. Denny and others. The
way the government has of penaliz-
ing merchants who make their re-
turns promptly, and yet either on
account of the carelessness of some
clerk in the department, or the de-
sire of some one to make money was
severely criticized. One of the mem
bers said that he had been advised
not to pay any thing else in penal
ties, since this was a scheme of some
clerk in the department to salt down
extra money. It was agreed that a
tax of one percent on gross sales of
merchants would be far more salts
factory to the customer, and the mer-
chant, save much book keeping and
annoyance, and raise from three to
four billions of dollars revenue for
the government
The report of the committee on
membership was made by Mr.. G. T.
Fulghum. He stated that four new
members had signified their intention
of joining the association These are

ed and agreed upon. The stores will
close in accordance with the request
of Mayor Hill at three o'clock in or
der to give the employees of the
stores an opportunity to see the open
ing game here with Rocky Mount.
Mr.. Garry Fulghum also brought
up the matter of half holiday on
Saturday during the summer from
May first to August the first. There
was much opposition to this on the
ground that it would break up sys-
TENS and seriously interfere with
some who could not put off work, and
the general public who desired to
trade. A committee composed of
Messrs, @. T. Fulghum, C. P. Clark
and Will Taylor will canvass the mer-
chants of the city and ascertain their
wishes and report to another meet
ing.

Harry w. Child, president of the
Yellowstone Park Transportation Co.,
has been in consultation with Mr..
Calkins and other officials of the
Milwaukee railroad for some time
relative to handling the tourists who
come to view the park over that road.
Mr. Child had planned to take the
vice president OF the road over the
Gallatin Way from Bozeman to YeI-
lowstone park had not the storm
made 1t impracticable to do so
1t will be possible for the Mil
waukee railroad to handle the tourist
business to Yellowstone park without
being necessary to do any additional
railroad construction. Definite de-
termination of the matter of taking
care. of the business of tourist travel
will be made during the next few
months so that when the season op-
ems next year the road will be in DO
sitlon to make campaign for the
business.

THE RECORD OF SUGAR BEETs

Statistics on the German beet sug-
ar industry have just been published
by Concerning Sugar" covering a
period of 63 years.
The industry was stimulated in the
foreign countries under nigh protec-
tiOn and the payment of export boun-
ties.
The most remarkable fact shown bv
the report is the increase IN Weld of
all other crops when grown in rota-
ton with sugar beets. With no in
crease IN acreage, Germany alone in
creased her annual yield of cereal
crops by 600 million bushels. North
western Europe by two billion bush
els, the value of the increased yields
OF other crops far exceeded the value
Of the sugar produced.
Such a record as this should encour-
age western farmers in the cultiva-
ton OF the sugar beet. It gives some
idea OF the value of the sugar beet in
dustry to the west and its close con-
nection with the growth of our agri-
cultural and. stock raising industries.

river was normal Saturday evening.
At daybreak today the flood waters
from the Little river came rushing
down through the Brazos bottoms and
over into the Bravor river, and at 3
o'clock Sunday afternoon had exceed
ed all previous known stages. The
rivers still were rising, and are now
higher than for 70 years, # not high
er than ever before that is remember

At Brastrop in Brazos county,
while no lives are known to have been

they had attended with a large
amount Of work accomplished. Good
fellowship prevailed at the meetings
and there was always something COM
ing up to relieve the seriousness of
every discussion.
OFT Schmidt let the members into
a secret which he had been holding
within himself for many years, when
he informed the members that at
the Billings meeting he burst forth
into song, along with all the others
there. This ability to sing has long
been admitted by OFT to himself. He
stated he had never allowed the in
formation to become generally known
as he wished to avoid injuring the
feeling Of fellow members by refus-
| ing to render operatic of other songs
for them. In the future, however, he
promised to sing at any time the rest
of the members desire him to do so.
All that he requires, is that all men,
bers join in the singing, so that he
may have their cooperation and
support.
The singing at the meeting held at
Billings, Mr.. Schmidt stated, was
one of the features that particularly
impressed him. Fo1 it had the ten
dency to further the object of avoid
ing all formalities and bringing a
feeling of closer relationship of friend
!. ly interests to every member.
Mr.. Langohr spoke of the pep and
business snap put into the meeting
and how every subject was handled
with quickness and dispatch. He told
of the chairman allowing only three
minutes for each member to have
his say upon a subject, and the cal.
ling of time upon any one speaking
was taken in the best of good nature
Each realized the time was short bu+
appreciated the necessity of all beins
allowed to express themselves. Th'
time limit met the best needs of thu
club.
