VALLEY NOW
IS FREE OF
COUNTYDEBT
Marks Reduction of More than
5000, 900 Within Last
Eight Years.
Virtually All School Districts
Are Now Being Freed of
Obligations.

Marking a reduction of more than
5000 900 in the last eight years and
from a peak burden of $780, 31 in
1923, Valley county is now entirely
free of debt, it was reported by
Stephen Weber, deputy county treas
urer
Because of a good collection of
taxes for May the county is now
debt free" he stated. I'VE still have
$500 in bonds outstanding, but the
cash has been put aside to meet
these bonds, together with interest,
when they become due. All registered
warrants are being paid"
Records show the peak load in
1923 was composed of $792, 797 in
bonds outstanding and $43,334 in
warrant debt. The interest charge
alone to the county every year was
$780, 94, exclusive of school debt. BY
1884 this debt had been reduced to
S202, 674.
Cut Over S400, 900
The debt owed by school districts
of the county in 1884 was $40, FOB.
This month, three districts are hold
ing special elections authorizing the
county treasurer to retire their en-
tire bonded indebtedness. They have
not only sufficient cash on hand to
pay all their bonds but will still
have an adequate reserve to main
tain school until next November on
a cash basis.
Glasgow school district, with a
small amount, is the only remaining
district with any bonded debt,
which was recently refunded at a
low interest rate.
The county May tax collection
showed current taxes paid of $137,-
900, plus delinquent collections of
S73, 900. Besides the best current tax
collection in years, a very heavy
collection of delinquent taxes was
made during the past year, Mr..
Weber added.

TOWNSPEOPLE |
WORKING In
BEET FIELDS
More than 400 from Glasgow
and Nashua Thinning Crop
in Emergency.
Business Places Closing Until
Noon to Facilitate Help
from Volunteers.

"How's your back?" was the
standard query in Glasgow and IN
Nashua this week for some 43O
town residents who found them
selves utilizing many muscles they
had forgotten existed as they. VOL
unteered their service in valley
county beet fields tc help meet the
emergency brought about by a LABOR
shortage. j..
Roll call showed 303 reporting at
the Glasgow civic center at 6 Mon
day morning but, instead OF talllng
off. the number increased n n
local beet emergency committee
said the number had increased TO
about $50 by Wednesday morning!
More than 80 Nashua residents were
in the fields. More are needed III
both towns.
In both, all business places were
closed each day until noon so that
volunteers could work uninterrupted
through morning hours.
Strangely enough, the answer to
the query about the back usually
brought tie reply. mot as bad as
I thought it would be"
Getting Better
It was estimated that from 35 to
40 acres of beets were being thinned
daily. with the output increasing as
muscles limbered and men, women,
boys and girls became more exper-
fenced.
Professional beet workers use a
short-handled hoe and space out
beets with it, at the same time thin
ming down to singles" spaced IL
to % inches apart. But the towns
felix used varied methods and sys-
TENS, adapted to their p%hysiques
and implements.
Business man-small boy teams are
frequent, the older member using a
ong-bandled hoe and the boy fol-
on hands and knees to dc
the thinning. Husband and wife
sometime work on the same basis.
A few old hands are becoming pro-
with a short bce. Mid
morning sprawl" is a new phrase
fer thinners who get nearer the
ground as the morning advances,
knees grow tender, and backs creak-
.er. Several have borrowed kneepadsf
rom their basketball-playing sons.
One or two women used old sofa
to kneel in rows.
