The highest tax rate that will be

highest rate that will be paid by the
town of Philippi while Belington is
close second with $1.57 almost a

why the difference? Is it because
the people in town think more Of their

some people in the county of Barbour

way, snatch two months shooting

There is a reason.

and Must BE Replaced.

Rome. Benito Mussolinl, Fa-
cisti head Of Italy's new govern
ment. was In his effice to begin his

An hour later he and his colleagues
In the cabinet were received by King
Victor Emmanuel and individually
took the oath Of office.
Upon reaching the government Of
fee after his nights rest, Premier
Mussolini called each OF the members
OF his cabinet By telephone In order
to ascertain whether all these civil
servants OF the state were at their
posts, the new premier having knowi-'
edge many ministers In former re-
gimes had the habit Of appearing AM
hour or two or even three hours Late
whoever negleots his duty shows
himself unworthy OF his post and
must be replaced" Premier Mussolini
announced In his direct way.
The premier made an early report
to the king of the entire situation
throughout Italy and the latest reports
from abroad, giving his majesty AM
impartial view OF how the solution Of
the crisis in Italy had been received
both at home and in foreign countries,
as the premier did not omit trans
hitting such criticisms as had appear
ed, his idea being the sovereign might
have an accurate view Of the attitudal
OF his own people and Of the thinking
people throughout the world.
The premier then directed the en-
tire membership of the cabinet be-
ready to take the oath Of loyalty in
the presence Of the king.
Everybody must wear frock coat
and top hat" the premier told each
minister Turning to his secretary,
he asked to be supplied himself with
these articles Of apparel
II never possessed either one"
he remarked. Half an hour later hel
was trying on various sizes Of ready
made frock coats, and shortly after
wards he was fully equipped to meet
the king formally.
King Victor Emmanuel received the
cabinet members In cordial, earnest
way. He shook hands with each min
lister, congatulating them all, but
adding severe task was before them
and saying he trusted their devotion
to the welfare Of the nation for the
success Of their mission.
Premier Mussolini was the first to
take the oath. He ftood rigidly at
attention before the king surrounded
by the ministers The sovereign read
the formula Of the oath In which the
taker swears to be faithful to the king
and his legal descendants and to the
constitution and fundamental laws of

$4,000 CALLONSOF
RUM MADE MILLIONS
Trial Of ConsplTatoTs Reveal
Huge Profits.

Cleveland. More than $15,000,-
600 changed hands in q little more
than year in the alleged transfer Of
$4,000 gallons Of alcohol by Louis and
Abraham Auberbach and others, 1t
was revealed when the Auberbach
brothers, Morris Moss, Abraham Linn
bert, Moritz Cohen and Samuel SEEKER
entered pleas of not guilty to indict-
ments charging them with conspir-
acy to evade the prohibition laws, and
attorneys for the Auberbach brothers
made a vain attempt TO have their
$4,000 bonds reduced.
The government alleges the men
withdrew alcohol on federal permits
on the ground they were using 1t in
the manufacture of toilet prepare
lions, and then sold 1t to bootleggers.
Federal investigators pointed out
that the $4,000 gallons Of grain al
cohol alleged to figure in the trans
aston were purchased Mt about SO a
gallon. 1t was then sold, the govern
men alleged, to bootleggers for more
than $26 gallon. This transaction,
they point out, would net profit close
to $2,000000.
In the hands OF the bootlegger, the
investigators said, the alcohol was d.
luted so that where one gallon origin
ally existed, three gallons appeared.
Colored and favored with rye ex-
tracts, the liquor was then sold at
$40 q quart, or $64 gallon.
Thus, the original $4,000 gallons at
SO, would increase to 100000 gallons
at $64 gallon, or the grand total
revenue OF $15,380,000.
'0f course, some Of the alcohol was
used for making toilet preparations"
declared Assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney Joseph G. Breitenstein.
