and other miscellaneous expense.
About seven years ago the cost of
operating the sheriff's Office was very
high because Of q system of arrest
ing many men and Of boarding them
at an extravagant price. That sys-
tenn was discontinued, and In the
changes of the times we have come
to where there are seldom many
prisoners, sometimes not any, but we
have q lot of expense for running
down bootleggers and very large
expense for serving papers in civil
cases. For instance, II you sue me
for a debt and l live far out from
the county seat, the sheriff has to
60 out to my place and put copy
of the complaint In my hand, and
he charges 20 cents mile for the
round trip, while, under the law,
the sheriff can only collect from the
litigants, (the parties to the suit
20 cents a mile one way and the
county government has to lose the
other 20 cents q mile. That amounts
to thousands Of dollars year.
Under the old methods of team
travel, 20 cents mile one way
would pay the sheriff's costs, and as
the law has not been amended, and
as the commissioners have never
been able to operate a county car
for 20 cents mile and as the Of
ficers have refused to operate for 20
cents mile going out, and then re-
turn without pay, the county simply
had to lose the difference. There
is no law for 1t, it is an illegal trans
action, but 1t meets the necessities
OF the time and so long as nobody
can suggest better and legal way
Of doing it, county commissioners
all over the state are making the
best OF a bad situation. sf,
The next chart here, shows a COM
parison Of the various county Offices,
as to cost Of operation. The treas
urer's office costs q little more than
either Of the others; they put in one
machine that cost $500 and . new
system OF bookkeeping that raised
1t to 1900 OF ao,s and they operated
under an unnecessary expense for
quite q while, and that has been re-
dueed; they are trying ITO >make up
what they wasted In 1921, by this
new machine and the new system OF
books. The commissioners expenses
are almost as great as the treasurer's
expenses, The clerks office oper-
ates under considerable expense. The
expense comes out of the public
treasury, but. the fees. coming into
the till nearly pay the expense OF
running the office. The probate
judges office expense is much less
than the county clerk's-there are
two people thereo while there are
several in the other. The county

T wonder what the Rooster has done now" Jimmy murmured. He soon learned that it wasn't because of anything the Rooster had done that Henrietta was scolding him. It was because of something he hadn't done
 "A great, strong creature like you ought to be able to scratch up a few worms for as fine a family as mine," Henrietta Hen spluttered. Here l am with a big family of chicks to feed; and you loaf around and watch me working from dawn until dark and never offer to help me"
 Now, now, Henrietta." the Roost- CT protested weakly. But Henrietta Hen wouldn't listen to him. T despise a shirk," she declared.
 The Rooser now made a dash and tried to slip past the angry Hem rietta. But she headed him off and drove him back into his corner.
 i've not finished with you yet. sir" she snapped.
 The Rooster pleaded that he had an important engagement and could not stay there any longer,
 She paid no heed to that excuse.
 Let me pass, please." he begged her then. T don't feel well. I need drink of water"
 "Nonsense'' she cried. You've never been i'll in your life"
 DO let me say a few worlds" he Lor son for not helping you"
 Huh" Henrietta Hen exclaimed, witb upturned nose. What is it?"
 If I scratched for your family. all the other Hens in the flock would insist on my helping them, too. And I couldn't very well refuse. I'd be so overworked that I wouldn't have enough strength left to crow"
 Henrietta Hen gave a cackle.
 We could do nicely without your growing" she sniffed.
 That was as bitter a remark as she could have made to a proud person like the Rooster It was little more than he could endure He rushed forward. And, darting first to one side and then to the other. h. managed to squirm past Henrietta And off he ran across the henyard and through the open gate
 She did not follow him, but called to her children and began scratching worms for them.
 Poor Henrietta" Jimmy Rabbit murmured softly to himself She has a hard time. Something ought

THE ROOSTER THAT WOULDN'T
 WORK.

Nibbling at a choice head of let tuce in Farmer Greens garden one morning, Jimmy Rabbit heard sounds of trouble. Somebody near the farm buildings was talking steadily in a high pitched voice. Such words as shiftless, lazy worthless, good- for-nothing made Jimmy Rabbit stop eating and cock his long ears toward the place from which this slamor came.
 That's Henrietta Hen" Jimmy Rabbit decided after he had listened for a few moments T wonder what has displeased her.
 Being a curious person, Jimmy left his breakfast unfinished. Hurrying across the garden, he jumped through the fence and stole toward the henyard. Crouching behind a big burdock he peeped around it. And there in a corner of the yard looking most unhappy, stood the Rooster. Facing him, and cutting off his escape, was Henrietta Hen.
