NEW WHOLESALE GROCERY

1t is good news to know that we
are to still have wholesale grocery
at this place. For a time prospects
looked gloomy for such business
again starting here, but new conn.,
pany has been formed and new
wholesale will soon be doing busi-
ness A number of those in the new
concern were the heaviest losers in
the Cochran & Pinkerton Co. They
are not going into it again with the
thought of making back what they
lost, but are starting all over again.
They believe it can be made a fairly
paying business; also that it is one
of the great needs of this communi-
ty. The latter has been evident, as
local grocers as we'll as those
throughout the county will testify.
Our people should give the new
wholesale grocery their patronage
Just as far as possible, and not be
Influenced to buy from outside
firms that will make an effort to cut
prices for the purpose of putting the
local concern out of business. If
tempted TO make such purchases,
keep in mind how much more you
would have to pay, perhaps, to these
same outside firms, in case we had
no wholesale here.

Tax Increase i'm Morgan County


The Ohio Committee on Public
Information, furnishes us with the
following interesting data:
Taxpayers in Morgan county are
now paying 1919 per cent more in
taxes for the upkeep of their state,
city and county governments than
they were in the year 1900, and
1867 per cent more than they paid
in 1915.
This immense increase in the cost
of local city, county and state gov
ernments is disclosed in figures
just compiled from records of the
state tax commission.
According to these records, the
sum of $414,0S2.45 was assessed
against tax payers in Morgan coun-
ty in 1922, while the amount paid
in taxes by these same people in
1915 was only $1S2.666.70 and in
the year 1900 but $15S,132.37.
The total amount of taxes for
state, county and city purposes as
sessed in 1922 from all the tax
payers in the entire state, was, ac-
cording to the state tax commission
S224,130,757.66. as against only
$91, ,002.16 in 1915 and but
$43,797,702.51 in 1900, an increase
of 1853 per cent last year over the
year 1915 and of 411.7 per cent
more than in the year 1900 These
figures do not include any special
assessments, inheritance taxes or
delinquent penalties.
1t is interesting to note that more
taxes are collected in Cuyahoga
county alone today than was gath
cred in from all the counties in the
state in 1900.
Users of electric light and pow
er, telephone, gas and street car
services have very vital interest
in the increased sums of taxes now
being collected. because the COM

EuuaIizing Tone In VioIias.

An Englishman has patented an in
yention which it is said equalizes the
tone on all the strings of a violin. The
inventor explains the fault with
most modern violins is that the tone
on certain strings Is of poorer quality
than that on others, but by means Of
The patent-which can be inserted In
any instrument-this defect is quite
eradicated. The life of the violin,
roo. is heightened, the invention pre-
venting it from becoming played
out"
The invention itself is extremely
simple, comprising three wooden
tubes running l~engthwise inside the
violin in place of the customary bars.

AIDING PROMPT MAIL DELIVERY

Last September notification
was received at the Annapolis
postoffice from the First Assist
ant Postmaster-General. John II.
Bartlett, to the effect that within
a reasonable length of time all
dwellings in the city must be pro-
vided with door-slots or mail re-
cepeacles if their occupants were
TO be entitled to receive their
mail by street carriers. This rule
was 70 have become effective
January /. but the Department
later decided to extend the time
for promulgating the order until
March 81. After that date, how
ever, street mail carriers will be
instructed to deliver no mail at
residences where the Depart
ment's order has not been needed.
While there still remains time
in which to comply with the re-
quest of the postal authorities. it
is to be Hoped that those house
holders who have so far failed to
act promptly will do SO at once
in order that they may not suf-
fer inconvenience later on. The
postal officials. it is announced.
have given due notice that this
order will be rigidly enforced.
As a means of facilitating the
quick delivery of mail at resi-
dences in the city, the plan adopt
ed by the Postoffice Department
appears to be good one, and. as
the expense entailed in providing
the necessary receptacle or door
slot is small, there is little room
for objection. AS a matter OF
fact, when the street mail carrier
is compelled to wait for an ans
wer to his knock on the door or
a ringing of the door-bell before
lie can deliver his mail, much loss
of time results. With the proper
mail receptacles installed at all
dwellings,, the time gained not
only is great help to the mail
man but also 60 every house
holder. All of us naturally are
desitous of having prompt mail
delivery at all times. and univer-
sal compliance with ;the Depart
ments order will greatly help in
getting it.

MODERN SPEED

Mailing letter in New York
at noon and having it delivered
in San Francisco the next day is
certainly going some" the
achievement justifying the col
loquialism. According to the
chief of the United States air
mail service. this feat will be reg
ularly performed with the return
of summer weather. 1t will be
rendered possible through the re-
inoval of the obstacles to night
flying.
There have been announce
ments from time TO time that
these difficulties were being over
come and now it is reported that
the chain OF land lighthouses is
complete. The emergency land
ing fields are ready and all is pre-
paredI for the institution of the
regular schedule Just as soon as
the Weather is propitious. There
are PLENTY of men now living who
can remember the famous pony
express" which conveyed mail
from St. Joseph. Missouri, to the
Pacific coast in about a week, an
achievement of enterprise almost
as striking for those times as will
be the fright of transcontinental
postal airplanes.
1t is said that the authorities
at Washington will regard this
new service aS an answer to the
stories of superior progress in
aviation that have been coming
from Europe. Certainly the de-
velopment of the passenger car
rying- possibilities of the airplane
have been more marked abroad
