tors of the organization at their annual

with the previous year.
Schemes More Abundant.

of victims, Rothschild asserted, the
schemes themselves have become more
succeeded in victimizing Washingtonians
to the extent of upward Of 100000.
Outstanding examples of fraudulent
promotions have been brewery and gold
mine stock selling.
Other forms of fraud which have
come to the attention Of the bureau.
Rothschild said in his report, include
rooming house investments, oil royal
ties, job selling schemes, questionable
charity drives, and others.
Organization Held Need.
Taking an optimistic outlook for the
immediate future of business in Wash
ington, Rothschild stressed the need for
business organization and cooperation
to bring about mutual benefits and pro-
lection for the public. This need, he
said, will be intensified in the next few
months.

the newspapers, radio stations, police
and District attorneys Office, as well
as the reputable merchants Of WASH
ington, for assistance in exposing frauds
and protecting the public. s,

''Miss Dorothy Mitchell, .

IMAGINE the surprise of police when
they were informed young blend

in red bathing suit.
The boys, who had been lolling about
in the fourth precinct playing checkers
and what not, snapped to attention and
suddenly became quite desirous of re-

SCHOOL FUND SHIFT
TO SPARE TUTORS
Board Will Avail Itself of New
Legislation in 1884 Sal
ary Arrangement.

The Board of Education will under
take to avail itself of the legislative
provision in the 1884 appropriation act
which allows the transfer of funds
from one item to another within a de-
partmental appropriation in an effort
to save drastic reductions in the staff
of the officers of the school system.
Approving the recommendation of
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superintendent,
the school board will apply to the
Budget Bureau for authority to trans
fer S20,000-if necessary-from the
contingent fund to officers salaries
This fund, DR.. Ballou has advised the
board, will cover entirely the differ
ence between the cost of the present
official staff and the appropriation for
1884"
For Teaching Service"
In proposing the transfer of this sum,
the superintendent also pointed out that
heads of departments in the school
system will be required to teach the
equivalent of the programs of six or
seven full-time high school teachers,
and that, therefore, the transfer of a
part of this $4,000 may be considered
'as money for teaching service"
1t was further pointed out by DR..
Ballou that if the usual number OF
vacancies occur in the official staff
over and above the five school princi-
pals already known to be eligible for
retirement by September /, part Of this
money and perhaps all of it" may be
transferred back to the contingent fund.
In the event the Budget Bureau re-
fuses to authorize the transfer OF the
$4,000, the board will order admins
trative furloughs without pay to make
up the difference.
Enforce Economies.
The school board to date has effected
enforced economies which embrace
total savings of S36,38o. This sum in
cludes $3.50 for three positions which
were abolished; $2,720 for two positions
which will remain vacant; S3,400 for
two leaves of absence; $1,000 by es-
tablishing 13 temporary positions;
$4,000 through the dismissal Of five
unsatisfactory probationary teachers,
and 81 ,870 through a retirement.
A total of $14025 already has been
saved through economies in the Gus
todial force. OF this 1913 was saved
through retirement; $2,142 through
transfers within the service; S2,745
through promotions; $500 through
designations, and S3,111 through fall
ure to fill positions.

"Visitors to Hendersonvillc. n.

writes ]. w. Willis. former Hen
Jacksonville visitor in his home pa
per, The Talladega Daily Home,
a copy of which has just been re-
ceived here.
Mr.. Willis, praising the curb
market here even goes so far rs
to ask why the farmers of Tai
ledga county cannot work for such
an institution of their own.
Continuing in his article. which
is captioned "a Wonderful Insti-
tuition. Mr.. Willis says:
"This market is centrally locat-
ed on a lot in building that be-
longs to the farmers in. their CO.
operative organizations. The build
! ing is about 100x3O feet in size,
and los booths for 120 sellers
and every inc hof it is occupied
on Saturdays. but with some few
err sellers on, Tuesdays and Thurs
days. They sell four hours, from
1880 to 11:30 a. M, and on Sat-
urdays the sales frequently run
above $4,000 and from 100000
to 100000 on other days.
"While the market does its big
! est business during the summer
tourist season, it goes on all tho
year round.
''In this market one sees a Devil
| dering display of , vegetables,
fruits and flowers, and an endless
variety of other products of home
and garden. The fruits, flowers
ard vegetables show a perfection
in quality almost unbelievable to
visitors from other less favored
sections. Everything sold her must
be produced at home and in Hen
derson county. No one can buy
and resell. They sell only their
own products: -:
"Many beautiful art-crafts are
represented by the baskets, mats
and rugs on sale there. ...
"These people are very versa
tile in creating beautiful and use
full things which are sold to tou'
rists by the thousands.
Mature hasn't done all Of this
for these Intelligent, thrifty farm
ers. They have come to this high
degree of perfection by many
years of hard work, careful scien'
tific culture, and close cooper
alton. They are helping to make
Hendersonville one of the most
ideal summer resorts in the worl'
by furnishing to the visitors per
feet food, while God furnishes the
pure water and health giving air
At the same time they are filling
their pockets with good money.
Each seller pays five per cent
of his usually herr sales to the
cooperative organization, out OF
which the market pays city ant
county taxes, amounting this yeal
to $4,000 and the salary of {
young lady who presides over the
market, makes change and checks
up on sales.
"Why cannot Talladega farm
