Audits to Recover Overpayed Aircraft

Washington, FeD. 13.-lt was learn
ed today from Honorable John II.
Bartlett, chairman of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission, that the War De-
partment had authorized further aud
its of contracts for aircraft which
were terminated by negotiated agree
ments during the latter part OF 1918
and early in 1919, with view to
the recovery of overpayments esti-
mated at S25,OO0,000.00.
Nh. Bartlett said that the Civil
Service Commission was interested
ia this matter in connection with the
clerical work of the audits. He said
that he had been informed by the
War Department that three audlts
recently completed established over
payments for aircraft totalling ST.
100000. He said that informal
figures obtained from accounting firms
indicate that it would cost the gov
ernment a sum close to $1,000, 100000
to complete the additional audits which
are contemplated; that, by the use
OF accountants obtained through the
Civil Service Commissions examina-
tions, the three audits completed,
totalling recovery of more than
S7,OOO,OO0.00, had cost the govern
of she audits, and that the War De-
partment further stated that the ad-
ditional auaits could be performed by
civil service employees for less than
sl50,00O.00, as against the $1,000
10000 asked b. private auditing com
panies, to recover the estimated over
payments OF S25,0O00GO.00.
Mr.. Bartlett said that the three
ardits which had been made by civil
service employees had been placed in
the hands of reliable public account
ing firms b. the contractors affected,
to determine the correctness and ac-
curacy of the audits, with the re-
suit that all the cases had been de-
clared fawless from an accounting
standpoint, and could not be upset.

Last Days of the Russian Court.

(From The New York Herald)
A truly dependable and most hu-
man document is added to our know.
ledge of the last days of the Roman
offs by the recently published book
of Pierre Gilliard, a former tutor of
the Czarevitch. NJ. Gilliard became
Instructor to the children cf the Rus
sian imperial family in 1904 and con-
tinued with them until he was forci-
bly, separated from them ut Ekaterin-
burg, where they are believed to have
been murdered. The last five years
of his service was with the young
Czarevitch, for whom he had much
affection and whom he accompanied
into banishment and captivity.
NJ. Gilliard's intimate association
with this unfortunate boy and his
knowledgesof the home life of Gar
and Czarina permit him to write
with authority upon the Czarevitch's
illness and to explain the rlaleficent
influence of the inlpostor Rasputin.
The disease from which the youth
suffered was haemophillia, tendency
to profuse and uncomfortable hemor-
rhage. This is generally considered
herditary disease, and the belief
that it had been transmitted from
her family caused the Czarina deep
pain and modification. She nursed
her son with the greatest devotion,
and she believed that Rasputin had
saved his life.
Nicholas had little faith in the
man and mistrusted him, yet M. Gil
lard says he did not wish to send
him away, "for if Alexis Nicolaie-
witch died, in the eyes of his mother
he would have been the murderer
of his son." Writing Of seeing the
Czarina just after Rasputin was
killed, NJ. Gilliard says: "Her ag-
onized features betrayed in spite
of all her efforts how terribly she
had suffered. He who alone could
save her son had been slain; any
misfortune, any catastrophe YVES now
possible"
Or the day the Gar sent to the
president of the Duma telegram
telling of his intention to abdicate
in favor of his son ne called in Pro-
fessor Fiodorof and asked him if the
boys malady was incurable. The
The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1922-02-16

professor appreciated the motive back
OF the inquiry and replied that
"scence teaches that the disease is
incurable, and while those afflicted
with it sometimes live to an advanced
age, yet Alexis Nicolaievitch is at
the mercy of any accident" The
Car hung his head and murmured
sadly: eff he can never serve his
country as l should like him to, we
have the right to keep him ourselves"
He then abdicated in favor of his
brother Michael.
The peculiarly trying mission of
telling the Czarevitch Of his father's
abdication fell to NJ. Gilliard. He
records this conversation:
"'You know your father does not
want to be car any more, Alexis
Nicolaievitch.' He looked at me in
astonishment, trying to read in my
face what had happened.
"'What! Why?
"'He is very tired and has had a
lot of trouble lately
"tOh, yes! Mother told me they
stopped his train wner he wanted to
come here. But won't papa be car
again afterward? But who's going
to be car, them
"T don't know. Perhaps nobody
now.'
"Not word about himself. Not
single allusion to his right as heir.
He was very red and agitated.
"There was a silence, and then he
said:
"'But if there isn't czar, who's
going to govern Russia p"
After his dethronerent the czar
scarcely spoke of nic own position
and never complained of the treat
ment he received; iris was true also
of the Czarina, though once, NJ. Gil
lard says, he noticed that she
flushed when KercnSky addressed
her as the "former Czarina." NJ. Gil
lard has undoubtedly written with
deep affection for the imperial FAM
lily. To him it was e family of which
the father and mother appeared low
ing and anxious parents and one of
which all the members were refined
by suffering end mad their last days
of trial lightened by q. deepening. fam
lily affection and religious devotion" !"
His book will be valuable to future
historians because he saw many things
which few other persons saw, and
realizing their value ne wrote them
feelingly and honestly.

MRS. HARDING DEMOCRATIC.
Present Mistress of White House is
"GOOd Mixer"

Mrs. Harding is the best "miXer"
who ever presided as mistress OF the
White House, according to the oldest
attaches there. They cannot recall
+ q first lady who was so democratic.
Many visitors going through the
east room and other public parts Of
the White House nave been given
an unexpected thrill by the sudden
appearance of Mrs. Harding on the
scene. She takes great delight in
coming downstairs unexpectedly and
dropping in on sightseers wandering
curiously about.
Although they usually recognize
her in advance, she always walks up
and, extending her hand, announces
that 81 am Mrs. Harding, and I'm
glad to see you here"
She usually asks what state the
visitor is from and many times they
discover mutual acquaintances. There
is nothing formal about these little
meetings, end if she is busy she says
so and goes on. If she has time
often she shows them through other
rooms.
r Despite the heavy drain On her
energy, Mrs. Harding thoroughly en-
joys her life in the White House.
Her only difficulty is in adhering to
the rest schedule which DR.. Sawyer
insists upon. He cells every morn
ine and watches her closely, because
in his years as the Harding family
physician, ne has learned that Mrs.
Harding is too active for her own
eood, and his hardest job is to get
her to take sufficient rest.

ACUTE SHORTAGE OF HORSES
Farmers Experience Difficulty in OBJ
tanning Animals Required for
Farm Work.

Difficulty is being experienced by
many farmers in obtaining work horses
needed. This fact has been made clear
to w. Fl. Peters, chief Of the animal
husbandry division of the University
OF Minnesota, by the number Of in
quiries made by him and members of
his staff as to the available supply of
farm work horses.
There isn't any doubt that for the
last two years the number of colts
raised has been less than the number
OF horses that have died." said Pro-
lessor Peters. us the inevitable re-
suit Of this condition already making
ltself' evident? If this condition Is
maintained an acute shortage Of work
horses is bound to result.
Farmers who have good. sound
mares will find 1t profitable to breed
them. This will be particularly true
II the mares can be mated to a good
sound stallion of desirable draft type.
In communities where such stallion
is not available any farmer with half
dozen or more mares will find 1t prof
table to purchase and keep such a
horse"

LIVE STOCK
FACTS
PLAN FOR IMPROVING STOCK
Progressive Firm Of Butchers In Ohio
Hit on Novel Scheme to Build
Up Quality.

prepared by the United states pepartm snt
of Agriculture.)
Recognizing that livestock improve
ment Is beneficial to the meat trade as
well as to producers of animals,
butchers are becoming interested In
the better-slres idea. A progressive
firm Of butchers in small Ohio city
seeks to better the live stock Of that
locality by plan described In the fol.
lowing letter to the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture:
"While we have never made bust.
ness Of dealing in purebred live stock"
says the writer, 1--WE have always en-
couraged their use. We try to keep u
line on well-bred young bulls in our
vicinity. and whenever we buy an ami
NAL for slaughter we use our best eff.
forts to have him replaced with some
thing better. We believe this plan
will help to build up the quality Of
cattle in the neighborhood, to the ad-
vantage Of both ourselves and the
farmers.
"When we kill an ANNA! that has
an exceptionally good dress we dis
play the carcass in our window, giving
on card the age, live weight. dressed
weight and the percentage Of dressed
meat. In this way we advertise to
producers that they get more live
weight and we get more dressed
weight from well-bred stock than from
Inferior stock Of the same age. We
have demonstrated also the superiority
of veal calves from well-bred parents
and have shown that they mean more
to the farmer In dollars and cents
than the other kind"
In commenting on the plan, live
stock specialists in the bureau Of ami
nal industry point out that small
town butchers are in a position to help
