One of the most auspicious open
ings of any store ever held in Ham
ilton and one that attracted unusual
interest was that of the George
Krebs Sons new home of furniture
which took place on Wednesday of
this week. All day long the three
spacious floors and basement of this
beautiful new furniture establishment
was crowded with admiring throngs
And indeed there was much cause
for admiration. Never before has
there been SO much handsome fur
niture and household furnishings
crowded in any Hamilton store as the
store of the George Krebs Sons con-
tains. Furniture, draperies, carpets,
rugs, inoleums, Estate stoves, musi-

Third street. The Krebs Company
occupies the second and third floors
of the four numbers mentioned with
entrance at 107 South Third street
When the lease of the other concern
expires the George Krebs Sons will
occupy the entire building with great
display windows running the entire
length of the building both on Third
street and Court street, and the firm
will then have one of the finest and
most elaborate household furnishing
stores in southern Ohio.
The firm is composed of the four
sons of *the late George Krebs than
whom there was no. more capable,
popular or well liked business man in
the city of Hamilton. 1t is only to
be regretted : that the father is no
longer here that he might witness the
capabilities and the progress being
made by the sons to whom he handed
down this great business concern and
of which he was the founder.
The four sons are Adolph, Louis,
Arnold and Joseph Krebs. Adolph is
the elder of the four young men, and
to him much credit is due for the
phenomenal growth of business of the
concern during the past few years
While working as one, each has charge
of certain departments and all are
thoroughly conversant with the busi-
ness of their several ends. They have
built about them a wonderful organi,
zation of sales people and department
heads. They are: George Krucker
in charge of the rugs and linoleums
Richard Kraus looks after the Estate
stoves and furniture, Joseph Schroe1
handles the musical instruments and
flikes to play for the customers, James
Leonard Asees that there is always a
complete line of the Hoover sweepers
on hand, Linus Berger is head book
keeper, Miss Thelma Meyers, always
anxious to please, is stenographer and
full of information for those seeking
it, Mrs. Mary Ebel keeps the fur
niture spick and span at all times
William Hensing, assisted by William
Carpenter and Jack Schrudder, take
good care of hte deliveries, and
Henry Henkel sees that linoleums are
laid-right. Miss Loretta Kilfoyle is
the efficient assistant in the record
department on Saturday evenings.
The George Krebs Sons has always
been union store, that is, it displays
the card of the Retail Clerks Union
employees only union clerks and is con-
Quoted under strictly union conditions
All remodeling and repairs on the new
home were done by union labor, this
being strictly specified in all con-
tracts. The firm is very much de-
serving of the patronage of organ
lied labor.
All Hamilton joins in wishing the
George Krebs Sons unbounded success
in their new home.

The Poet Laureate.

For many centuries in England the
poet laureate was an official attached
to the kings household. He was orig
inally called the kings versifier." In
modern times the honor is usually con-
ferred upon a poet of some distinction
and is held for life He has no COM
pulsory duties to perform, but he Is
expected to compose an ode of honor
on special state occasions. Great poets
have held the office, including William
Wordsworth and Lord Tennyson.

TO RECLAIM LAND
Holland Plans to Drain Part of
the Zuyder Zee.
Project. if Carried Out, VIII Add an
Enormous Amount of Territory to
Little Country.

The wonderful little country of Hol-
land is maintained as a safe place for
human habitation by means of huge
pumping stations and miles upon miles
Of dykes. Were it not for the dykes,
the result of years upon years Of
building, the sea would sweep over
the land. It you should take a ride
in motorboat around the coast, and
peep over the dyke, you would dis
cover the roofs of farm buildings just
level with your eyes.
At the seaside resorts the only hill
in the place is the hill you must climb
in order to get to the waters edge
The hill was built by human hands
In the age-old fight against the inces-
SAINT and tireless assaults of the ocean.
Until about so years ago the Dutch
depended entirely upon windmills to
pump the water to the canals which
carry off the surplus water, so that
the farm lands may not be submerged.
Then steam pumps came into general
use, and the quaint but cumbersome
windmills were pulled down. During
the war, it looked for a while as
though the Hollanders would have to
rebuild their windmills on account of
the acute coal shortage.
However. looking upon the other
side of the picture, the Dutch enjoy
advantages not possessed by other
countries. By means of dykes and
pumps they may enlarge their do
mains at will. Today cattle are graz
Ing over wide areas, where so years
ago fishes were swimming
A much larger scheme still is now
on foot which will add to Holland a
whole large country consisting of farm
ing land as rich as the richest por-
tion of many of our states. The whole
of the southern part of the Zuyder Zee
Is to be reclaimed, after being TOO
years under the water.
For the redemption of this particu-
lar area Is In the nature of q coun-
ter-offensive by the Dutch. On st.
Elizabeth's day In 1923 their he
leditary enemy, the North sea, made
a big and successful push. Advanc-
ing in huge tidal wave, it swept over
$50 square miles of low-lying farm
lands, and formed what has since been
the southern part of the Zuyder Zee.
Many villages vanished beneath the
water and 10000 people lost their lives.
The plan now Is to recover all this
land, and besides the economic gain,
romantically minded people look for
ward to finding rich treasures there,
ancient boards engulfed with their
owners on that wild night when the
North sea raced over the land.
Some, however, foretell disastrous
results from tampering with natures
dispensations. The Zuyder Zee, they
say, forms a great drainage basin for
the whole of northern Holland; If 1t
is suppressed the water that would
have flowed off there in time of flood
may cause inundations. The question
Is a serious one, for in Holland even
great rivers flow to the sea only by
artificial aid.

he will only make their notes for 80

notes for 90 days longer, provided
they will pay an additional bonus OF
$40. Another money lender loans to
working men who have secure posi-

pay up every month. In that way he

HUNT ENDORSES BVERY WORD
Written by Capt. Bnllenger In Re-
gard to Tax Matters.

Editor keowee Courier:
please allow me a little space In
your paper. for | want to endorse
every word that Capt. Ballenger said
IN his article on the tax situation. 1t
seems to me that our county and
State are getting in most deplor-
able condition. There are thousands
OF farmers in the State Of South Car
olina to-day who are not able to pay
their taxes. What are we going to
do about it? What Is the remedy?
Are We going to sit still and offer no
remedy and let them go into bank
ruptcy? / have heard OF some sarm-
ers whose rents for their lands will
not pay the taxes. ut seems TO me
that something must be done, and
when we are all forced into bank
ruptcy.
There was no kick coming when
cotton was bringing 40 cents per
pound. but the condition of the coun-
try is quite different now, and our
taxes and other expenses must be
adjusted to suit the conditions Of
the present times. The only remedy
| can offer Is that we, as State
and county and as individuals, must
live within our means and cut ex-
ponses-and commerce cutting at
the top and cut on down till we have
reached tho bottom.
Yours for more light on the tax
| situation, w r. Hunt.
