Taxpayers Talk
Of Lower Taxes
Meet Commissioners Mon
day and Ask that Cuts
of Costs Be Made

A most interesting afternoon was
spent by number of people on the
courthouse lawn Monday. The
county commissioners had advertised
that hearings on the 1922 budget
would open at 2 p. M. The COM
missioners' room was filled with in
terested ranchers, business men and
citizens, to an extent hat doors and
windows We're blocked by interested
listeners. Srhe suggestion that the
meeting adjourn to the lawn was
quickly accepted, anu about 90
people gathered in a ring on the
lawn to discuss the problems of cut
ing the budget.
Chairman J. H. Savage, of the
board of commissioners, had charge
of the somewhat informal session,
ard anyone who hereafter asserts
that Mr. Savage is not an expert III
handling rapid-fire meeting will
demonstrate that he was not present
Monday.
The continuation Of the county
agent was discussed pro and con, the
Arguments ranging all the way from
the inefficiency of his squirrel
Lesson to his s'cceaful efforts foi
the Farm Bureau. Some ranchers
thought that new spring tooth
harrow would be worth more on the
farm than the county agent, while
others showed the financial profits
they had reaped from the agents
efforts. A vote of the crowd was
about even up as & whether the
agent would be co1t.nre.i.
The county nurse was next under
consideration, and the discussion
covered a wide range of ideas, from
the cause of cancer and whether a
tonsil was gone after it was remov-
ed, to the cases of tuberculosis she
had discovered in schools and pre-
vented ether children from acquir-
ing. A vote of the assernblage Was
again about even up.
The commissioners finding that
nothing definite could be gained
from the votes, reading of the
budget was ordered, and the dis
cussions covered such topics as how
much salary deputy ought to
draw, how much it costs to run
county cars, why taxes are high and
how much money county school
teachers are drawing. The discus
sion was largely in general terms,
and no particular remedy for high
taxes was offered for the aid of the
commissioners.
At 5 o'clock the officers of the
Stevens County Antituberculosis
league appeared with a comparative
tabulation of INDECENT costs for
the last II years, showing that in
digent care now amounted to 20%6
of all current expense money and
was yearly increasing. The league
pledged a united assistance to the
commissioners if the county will
continue the effort begun last year
to curb this increasing debt of
poverty by endeavoring to eliminate
the causes, and recommended that
the work begun by the county nurse
be vigorously prosecuted.
The commissioners have been busy
all week on the county budget, and
have succeeded in cutting number
of items from the total announced
in the estimates. However, it is
outside the power of the commits
sioners to cut the greater percent
age of the taxes, as taxes are voted
by the people, by the legislature, and
created by laws over which the COM
missioners have no control.

Stock Show and
Fair Successful
Attendance and Exhibits at
COlville Last Week Were
Most Excellent

That the eighth annual Stevens
County Livestock fair was COM
plete success from the stockman's
standpoint is the general opinion of
the Livestock Association officials.
Not only did the fair go over big
from the number and quality of
animals and farm products on ex-
hibit but it proved to be a financial
success in that the association Off
cials will be able to pay the pre-
MUM list without any aid from the
local banks.
"On behalf of the association and
myself, | want to thank the people
of Colville and the chamber of com
merce for the support they gave
the fair. Without their help it
would have been impossible for the
fair to be the success that ii was"
Such was the statement of 7. {.
Bell, president of the Stevens Coun-
ty Livestock Association.
That such quantity Of exhibits
were shown surprised the fair off
cials; owing to the general condi-
tion of the county at this time, even
the most optimistic had not looked
for such representation. Livestock
to be exhibited started coming in
late Tuesday afternoon, something
which had never been done since the
fair was started. The quality ex-
hibited was also surprise, the ma
iority of the people believing that
the best stock would be kept at
home
Asked about the quality of cattle
shown, c. II. Hubbard, one Of the
Judges from the State college at
Pullman, who Judged the hogs,
horses. sheep and beef cattle, said
that he had never been a judge at
any fair where the competition in
the lines that he had judged was so
keen.
Probably the animal that attract
tN lllt most dJlcHIlOH NdS IIt iecb
Pollcd bull, the property of A. +.
Skidmore. The Shorthorn, Jersey,
and the Red Polls had capable rep
rcsentation The best breeds Of
each type in the couty were on dis
play and gave evidence that the day
of the scrub cattle in Stevens coun-
ty is Il thing Of the past.
The hogs, particularly the Poland
China and Berkshircs, were well
represented, the best animals from
the farms of f. NJ. Curtis at Fruit
land, J. II. Kruse at Boyds, and f. S.
Forncy being shown. The rabbit
and chicken exhibits were far above
par.
Although the past year was ad-
mittcdly a bad year for growing
crops in this county, it did not him
der the farm exhibits from being
the highest quality that have been
shown at any fair held by the Live
stock Association. Visitors who had
taken in the Interstate fair at Spo-
kane were loud in their praises,
saying the farm exhibits shown at
the local fair were on par with
any that had been shown at any fair
in the Inland Empire this year.

Bank Robbery Jury Disagrees

and Sald that her attention was
directed particularly to him because
he asked if he could come in and
sit down, and on being refused, ask
ed for a drink of water.
Walter Nugcnt, a rancher Of
Meteor, told of making a trip from
Meteor to Addy few days before
the robbery, in company with doc"
and Hyland; that they discussed the
possibilities of robbing the Addy
bank, and that "Hyland was willing
in a way, and in a way he was not
willing" the deduction being that
Hyland had a wife and child and
was afraid of possible consequences,
but otherwise was willing.
James Reed of Inchelium testified
to the presence of Hyland during
the days preceding the robbery, and
supported Nugent's testimony that
Hyland was connected with the Oak
land car which participated in the
robbery.
Arthur f. Aikman and Harry NJ.
Anderson, detectives on the Spokane
police force told of the arrest of Hy-
land in Spokane, and the previous
searching of the Hyland apartments
on liquor warrant.
Defense Witnesses
Only three witnesses were called
by the Defense Mrs. b. j. Roning,
Miss Mildred Clark and Mrs.
Rachael Hyland, the wife of the de-
fendant.
Of the three, Mrs HyIand proved
to be the best for the defense,
claiming that her husband was home
on the night of June 10 and on the
morning of June II, the time when
the state claims that the bank was
robbed.
Mrs. Roning and Miss Clark tes-
tilted that they lived at 2lS east Pa
cifc avenue in Spokane, the place
where Mrs. Hyland had rented some
furnished rooms. They also testi-
fled that they knew little of the Hy-
lands whereabouts but that they re
membered something of seeing them
at home on the immediate days be-
/ fore and after the robbery was COM
rlitted.
In her testimony, Mrs. Hyland
said that she and her husband were
/ getting ready to leave for the east
so that they could be near her par
! cnts and that this was the reason
/ WHY some of their things were
! packed when her husband was ar
! rested for his alleged participation
in the Addy State Bank robbery
Attorneys Make Pleas
In the pleadings before the jury,
the attorneys for the prosecution
/ presented the argument that the de-
1 fendant was amply identified as one
of the robbery participants. The de-
/ Tense argued that the identification
was indefinite, conflicting, and not

one of the robbers. A strong plea
for the presence Of a reasonable
! doubt as to identity was the basis
of the defense argument
On presentation of the jury's YER
dict, Judge Carey set the retrial of
the case against Hyland for $3.50
next Tuesday. A new venire of 80
names has been drawn.

meal produced 7 percent more milk
and Ia percent more fat,than the ear
corn. Where corn-and- cob meal was
compared with corn meal it was found
that the corn meal was slightly the
best producer. There was a difference
of 2 percent in butterfat in favor OF
the corn meal.
On a basis Of IA percent moisture
in the Corn, it was found that 100
pounds of corn meal had the same
feed value as 125 pounds Of corn-and
cob meal and 14O pounds OF ear corn.
The corn-and cob meal has the advan-
tage OF providing bulk in the ration,
due to the presence Of the cob, and
all COWS need plenty of bulk
Production costs on the basis of
$1.25 per bushel for ear corn show
that where corn meal replaced the ear
corn the net return was increased

was slight difference in cost between
the corn meal and corn-and-cOb meal.

FILLING THE sILO
(From the Iowa Homestead)

sk#t tfTOm the iowa f1OmeStedQJ
Those who have silos to fill this
fall are fortunate, because they are
able to get more feed out of the corn
crop in the form of silage than in any
other way. The silo is a money saver
regardless of the price Of corn. It is
economical when corn is worth S1.5O
bushel, and equally so when it is
worth SO cents or less.
The quality of si1age depends very
largely upon the time the corn is cut
and the way 1t is packed in the siIo.
AS with other farm practices one can't
always cut the corn at the most de-
sirable time, but the best time to cut
it is when the crop shows the first
signs of maturing. Just as soon as
the lower leaves on the stalks begin
to turn yellow, and the kernels are in
the hard-dough sage and dened is
the time to start cutting. At that time
the corn contains enough moisture to
make it pack well in the silo, SO there
is no need of adding additional water,
If, however, the crop should become
more nearly mature, and the leaves
and husks have begun to show distinct
signs of maturing, water should be
added to the silage while it is being
put in. There is little danger OF add
ing too much.
Manchester Democrat., 1921-08-31
GRIND THE CORN FOR cows,

Corn fed to dairy cows will more
than pay for itself If ground and then

cording to the dairy section of the

who have recently completed an ex-

Corn as a food for other animals
has been studied extensively but out
side of one investigation this is the
only test conducted to determine the
influence of the preparation of corn
on the production Of milk and butter

Cows used We're all in good smilking

and one part ground oats by weight.
In addition they were fed the kinds
of corn under test. Salt was given at
free will and cows were watered
