WANT TO KNOW WHY !. COUNTY EXPENSES
 CAN'T ALSO BE GUT

Several taxpayers who had read an editorial in The Republican yesterday morning on the excellent showing made by the report of the Water Users association. called in person or by telephone upon the board of supervisors yesterday to inquire why it could not have made such show ing. evidently contrasting the lowered assessments for water with the in creased levy for county purposes.
 There was no intention to institute a comparison between the methods of the Water Users association and
 those of the county board. whose af- fairs are quite different. It was mentioned. however, that a private or semi private business is generally more economically conducted than a public business. The editorial was alluding only to the system which prevails all over the country, from the federal government down There has not been any complaint. so far as The Republican is aware. of extrava- gance on the part of the board oi 1 supervisors.
 The clerk of the board explained to l a reporter of The Republican yes terday that the increased rate was in- evitab1e for several reasons. In the l first place there was deficit of $76.- 900 to be made up, carried over from the previous year. There was the first interest on the $4,000,000 roat bond issue for which very large
 majority of the taxpayers had cheer fully voted, the interest amounting tt l $20S. .o0o adding IS cents to the levy And then there was the change in ths
 school law which made necessary af l increase of the levy for the genera
 school fund from 20 cents last year ts | 50 cents this year.
 That, however, is something which l though reflected in the levy, will no l involve the raising of any more mon ey. but the raising of it from othel | sources

GETS CHAIN MADE OF
 WATERMELON SEEDS

Governor Campbell yesterday be- came the recipient of a gift of a watch chain which will hold its own through the ages. It will tarnish less than a chain of either gold or plat mum. There is no metal in existence that will so preserve it's brilliancy against exposure to the atmosphere. The donor. B. Edmen of Houston. enclosed the following note in the box containing the chain:
 "A Gift From the Lone Star State. II take pleasure in presenting you chain cut out of Texas watermelon seeds, guaranteed never to rust or turn brass; a chain that will keep us linked together forever. Accept with my best compliments"
 The center has been cut out of the seeds, forming links. The openings made in the links for the bringing of them together are so deftly closed that they cannot be detected
