HIGH COST or KEEPING CLEAN
is RESPONSIBLE FOR LENGTHY
DISCUSSIONS AT TODAY'S MEET
ING OF SOLONS.

Considerable controversy arose in
the supervisors meeting today over
the auditors and committee reports
on the examination of the various
county Offices. The trouble hinged
around fees received for suits in the
county clerks Office. In the auditors
report it was revealed that there were
many unpaid fees due the county and
that some method should be found to
stop the practice of lawyers in dodg-
ing paying costs that rightly belong
to the county.
Lawyers in Arrears on Fees.
In place OF the motion to pass the
report Supervisor HssMnS made a
speech During his talk tho La Sale
man recommended that the report be
held owed until next session and that
tho auditor be ordered TO examine the
books ard make an itemized list of
the sums due from the lawyers.
The debtors will be notified, and If
they do not pay all fees due the county
before next session their names shall
be published. The county attorney
will also be ordered to start suit to
collect the money due

nal and those v here poor persons are

Although not called upon to talk,
Axel Heiberg, county auditor, made
quite lengthy address on the censor
ship of the operation Of the court
house and Jail by the supervisors. He
declared that they had no reason to
censor the sheriff for his disinfectant
and soap deals, as the supplies were
bought because of the delay in the
rairCad arrival of one shipment.
When asked as to the increase OF the
bills the auditor stated that the high
er amount was due to the higher cost
Mr.. Heiberg also declared that the Jail
and prisoners were being kept cleaner
now, which helped raise the cost some
Mr.. HCibcrg estimated the cost OF
each prisoners food to be over 81.

passing of the insurance, recorders
and bridge reports, but there was lit

PROHIBITION ENFORCEMENT
REALIZED IN KNOX COUNTY

Since the appointment of W. H.
Green, one of our citizens. the peo-
pleof Knox County are realizing that
there is a reality in the prohibition
law. He is enforcing the law re-
gardless OF friends or favors and the
remote parts of the county where 1t
was almost impossible to hold Sun
day School or church a short time
ago are now as quiet as can be.
This statement was made by the
Directors Of the Knox County Fair
Association and by hundreds of our
citizens who attended the Fair which
has Just closed:
1--WE have had a Fair here every
year for thirty years and the one
just closed was the quietest and
most orderly, with less disturbance
from liquor drinking than any fair
in the history of the organization.
We saw only one man drunk and one
man with liquor and in less than
thirty minutes after they made their
appearance they were in the hands
of the prohibition agent, w. H.
Green, who Immediately took them
before the circuit court and had
them under bond or in jail. We wish
to extend our thanks to Mr.. Green
and to the men working with him
for the efficient work which they did
at the fair. 1t shows what good Of
ficers can do in the enforcement Of
the law"
We feel that with such officers in
the service of the Government, and
with such men elected sheriffs of
the county and working in harmony
with them as our own Sheriff James
Carnes, that moonshiners and boot
leggers will be a thing of the past.
Let us lend our hearty co-opera-
tion to these men and, as good citi-
zens. do all in our power to help
them for without our assistance they
are handicapped in the great work
which they are engaged in.
Any citizen of the county who
knows of a moonshine still, or of
bootlegging going on can get a
swift remedy by notifying w. H.
Green, Prohibition Agent, or j. NJ.

CHILD HYGIENE WORK, e. s1,.
IN KNOX COUNTY

Mrs. Inez M. Roche, of the Bureau
of Child Hygiene, State Board of
Health, Louisville, was here Friday
on business connected with the well
fare of mothers and babies. Mrs.
Roche goes from county to county
and puts on child welfare clinics, the
the object of which is to inform
mothers-to-be how to care for them
selves before the birth of their child
as well as the care of the children
after they are born. Il Is melan-
choly fact that of the nineteen lead
ing countries OF the world which
take an interest in mother and child
welfare the United States ranks
next to Chile which is at the bottom
of the list.
Thru the Sheppard-Townley bill
the Federal government is now able
to appropriate funds for doing away
with this condition and Mrs. Roche
is one of the number who, under the
guidance of the various State Boards
of Health, are doing their best to
save the lives of mothers and child
rem.
Miss Edna Reinstedler, county
health nurse, is also cooperating as
are the local medical men which, as
Mrs. Roche says, is particularly high
class.
