COUNTY BOARD in
REGULAR SESSION
JEROME'S WORST FEARS ARE
REALIZED-TAX LIST
CLAIMS HELD UP

The board of county commissioners
was in session the first three days of
this week and reports indicate that
there were some strenuous moments.
The officials who are pledged to give
the county square deal and are try
ing to handle the county funds eco
nomically and businesslike, have had
real battle on their hands.
A sheaf of claims of The Poplar
Standard, official paper and printer
for the county, were on the table for
consideration. The whole amount, it
is understood, footed around thous-
and dollars. Part of these were for
job printing, some nice orders having
been placed in December by the old
officials. These job printing claims
were allowed and ordered paid. They
amounted to several hundred dollars.
Wants $2140.OO
But the trouble came over two
claims filed by The Standard for pub
fishing the delinquent tax lists the
second and third times. The bill for
the first publication of this tax list,
amounting to well over $1,000, was
presented to the old board just be-
fore the close of the year and allow
ed by them. The Standards claims
for the last two publications total
over $3.50, making total for pub
lishing the list of over $2,140.
Believing that the tax list h<d been
set in unnecessarily extended style
and that the claims should be care
fully investigated, Commissioners
Leeson and Young declined to allow
these claims at this meeting. Pub
Usher Jerome of The Standard
started a couple of weeks ago to put |

Editors Note-Public records must
be accepted as authentic and the
above statement makes a splendid
showing for John Anderson in the
important Office he fills, saving to
the county of $701 in one month.
The Herald is proud to have sup
ported him in 1920 and again in
1922. But John better be careful
about putting genuine economy into
practice. Somebody at Poplar might
start custer proceedings against him.
They do not like to have the records
shown up.

SECRET OUT AT LAST
M. E. WOMEN WIN EASY

A lot of wise ones are saying: "I
told you so, I knew it all the time, !"
and The Herald's socitey editor
heads the list. Immediately after he
had finished his supper at the M. E..
church Tuesday evening land it was
a well finished meal, be assured) he
registered a prediction that the wo-
men had won the supper contest

women because the said public be-

penalty of losing the supper race,

ment and it wanted to see a high
class show.

ceeds turned into the church fund

CITY PoWERLESS NOW

One of the reasons for the local
farmers market being given a
black eye" by many persons is the
presence of twenty or twenty-five
improvised stands at which mer-
chandise of all descriptions can be
purchased. This condition seems to
be completely beyond the control Of
the city as the stands are not on the
market property, they being located
on private property, the owners of
which give these itinerant merchants
if they might be called that-per-
mission to use the space for spec
flied rental
These stands appear to be a part
of the market and the persons con-
Quoting them endeavor to get as near
the heart Of the market activities
as possible. Large quantities OF
cheap dress goods are sold at these
sta3ds, it hav'ng bean said sEa:
more cheap yard goods is sold at
these stands adjoining the market
thar in any othtr store in the city.
The men ard women conducting
these stands have different ways of
bringing their stock to the market
Some have hors IS and wagons, others
automobiles while still others haul
it by hand in small express wagons.
Arriving at the market they place
two or three rough boards in pos
ition for a counter. lay out their
wares and start business. They are
not required to pay any fee as no
storekeeper dealing in such goods
is licensed. These persons, however.
escape paying a tax whereas the
storekeepers doing business regularly
must pay a good-sized amount yearly
to the city as tax il they own their
own stores.
