counties for the increased cost OF
teachers. If we are to receive our
proportionate share of school funds
from the State to defray the increas-
ed cost of teachers, why not wait un-
til we receive that money, since it is
the experienceY of everyone that
money borrowed is always spent,
especially public funds. 1 would like
,, for some one to tell me explicitly
what the extra cost of teachers was
| in this county and the amount that
we are to secure from the State to
pay this cost. Certainly none of this
school deficit is due to building op-
erations as this has been covered by
| the several bond issues and the credit
!, of the county should not have been
pledged for this purpose.
With reference to the deficit in
the county fund realize that it costs
$4,000 to put over the property re-
valuation, and that it required more
lfor the paupers and general county
expenses.
! With reference to the road fund
there was an increased cost for feed
| ing and maintaining the convicts and
building of bridges, but the $55,O0O
| impresses me as being an excessive
expenditure.
have no criticism for anyone but,
Mr.. Editor, feel that it is your duty
as newspaper man to give us the
information. We are entitled to this
information as tax payers, and any
public servant will not object to a
complete elucidation of the entire
mater since our public servants want
to do the best they can with the
money of the people with the lights
before them and if in any sense of
the word they are not carrying out
the wishes of the people they would
like to be shown I trust that I felt
that way about it when I was on the
board of county commissioners.

nouncement was accompanied by
specimens of little fishes discovered

and that information be given from

Yellow fever is carried from one

a cart, guns, table cloths. bed linen
and a number of articles
A push cart was identified by Mr..
Whaley, a shot gun that belonged
to Mr.. Barnes, two bed quilts that

TOMATO THIRD CROP
IN VALUE IN

New York, Feb. 14.-The tomato
crop is third in value of the vege-
table crops in this country. A large
portion of the crop is. canned or
made into soups and purees In the
United States from 100000 to 3OO,-
600 acres are devoted to the crop
annually for canning and manufac-
| turing purposes. The yield is about
100000 tons per annum. The in
dustry is widely scattered over the
United States, but Maryland, New
Jersey, Virginia, Indiana and Cali
fornia produce large part of the
crop.
'*The tomato" says James H.
Beattie, horticulturist, United States
Department of Agriculture, sis one
of the few vegetables of American
origin that have attained great COM
| mercial Importance. Introduced in
to the United States about 1900, it
was for a long time looked upon
largely as an ornamental plant. Ow-
ing to its relation to the nfghtshade
family, it was regarded with suspi-
| cion and was said to be poisonous,
and it was not until this strong
prejudice had been broken down that
its cultivation began to attract at
tention and it's use became general.
about the middle of the last CEN
tury canned tomatoes were intro
duced as an article OF trade, and the

CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS.

Nine men those participating in the
erection of the Knickerbocker
Theatre building are being held as
responsible for its faulty construc-
tion.
Following the cave in of the roof
with its attendant loss of life there
was general examination of theatre
buildings in the large cities of the
country, with the result that not only
theatres but buildings generally will
receive more care and attention in
their building.
Inasmuch as building must be
fifty framed together, it seems that
all who had anything to do with the
building were held responsible for
whatever defects there were in the
construction. +s+lsass'

1887 the total pack of canned to-
matoes in the United States was
about 100000 cases, e9ch case con-
tanning two dozen No. cans, each
holding approximately one quart.
Tomato production has grown
until at the present time the tomato
occupies third place among the vege-
table crops in value, being exceeded
only by potatoes and sweet potatoes.
The average annual pack of canned
tomatoes for the ten years ended
with the season of 1920 was approx
imately 12,794,610 cases of No.
cans or their equivalent. In addi-
tion to the tomatoes canned large
quantities were used for the making
of soups, purees and pulp.

KNOWS TOO MUCH.

The Presbyterian minister Of
Philadelphia, when he essays to
know what the court language of
Heaven is, and declares that Tele-
pathy only is used by the Father, the
Holy Ghost and Christ for Communi-
cation and that these never had any
physical organs of speech, is reach
ing too ia rinto the mysterious and is
losing respect for things beyond the
veil, that it is unlawful for any man
to utter, even if he were informed on
the subject.
To say that God has no way to
communicate His thoughts and pur-
poses to. men, except through tele-
pathy, denies the scripture which
time and time again says that he
spoke to the patriarchs and men OF
old. Not only knowing all things and
the way that all things originate, and
their course through the ages, he
knows all the languages of men. II
this is not true why on the day OF

TALK IN WASHINGTON
OF MELONS RESIG

Washington, Feb. 14.-Talk was
current tonight that decision by
President Harding in favor of the
plan to issue bonds to pay the bonus
to former service men might be fol-
lowed by the resignation of Secretary
Mellon.
! The head of the Treasury Depart
ment refused today to discuss for
publication the developments in the
bonus situation. 1t is understood that
President Harding talked with him
on the telephone, and it was thought
significant bylsome that the Secretary
was not summoned then to the White
House. There was a report that Mr..
Mellon would go to the White House
later, but nothing came out to show
that he did SO.
It was indicated today that Mr..
Mellon remained steadfast in the po-
sition he took when he wrote to
Chairman Fordney of the Ways and
letter he said:
"The estimates which have been
given as to the prospects for the fis-
cal years 1922 and 1923 and the pro-
gram which has been outlined for
the refunding of the short dated debt
do not make allowance for any ex-
traordinary expenditures within the
next few years for soldiers bonus
or socal1ed adjusted compensation
for veterans of the World War.
''The figures show that there will
be no available surplus, but more
probably a deficit, and that with the
enormous refunding operation which
the Treasury has to conduct it would
be dangerous in the extreme to at
tempt to finance the expenditures in
volved in the bonus through new bor-
rowings. The position of the Treasury
remains unchanged, but If there is to
be soldiers bonus, it is clear that
it must be provided for through tax
alton, and through taxation in addi-
tion to the taxes imposed by existing
law"

DIED WHILE AT SHOW

AUDIENCE DID NOT KNOW.
New York, Feb. 14.-Mendel Dell
son, 67, of 76 Bay Street, St. George,
Staten Island, was seized with a
heart attack yesterday afternoon
while witnessing a performance in
the Liberty Theatre, in Beach Street,
Stapleton, and died in his seat. For
an hour afterward persons near him
were unaware of his death, and con-
tinued to laugh and applaud the
vaudeville and motion pictures.
The audience filed out at $3.50,
leaving Dellson apparently asleep. A
girl usher tried to rouse him, and
then notified the manager, who sum-
moned policeman. DR.. George P.
Mord, Deputy Medical Examiner, said
that death had been due to heart dis

AGAINST THE SOLDIER BONUS

President Harding is against the
soldier bonus on the ground that a
bond issue would seriously disrupt
the financial situation at time when
the world is getting on it's feet. He is
opposed to tax to raise the money
on account of the burdens already i'm
posed on the tax payers of the coun-
try. The sentiment in the country is
found to be against a bonus at this
time if it shall be paid in taxes,
though every one wants to do all that
is possible for the soldier who has
been injured and is not able to pur-
sue means Of livelihood.

clever jokes and a good time for

congratulation for her work in nat
capacity. The end men (all girls)
were exceedingly clever with songs
and skits.
The ladies remembered a number
