SociSte des B0inS de Me1 ct Cercle
des EtTGngers, the corporation
which founded the Casino and built
the town of Monte Carlo to go
with it. The directors refused to
open their posh playground to vul-
gar commerce. Mr.. Onassis was
told to take his dirty oil drums and
20 somewhere else.
Aristotle Socrates Onassis. how
ever, is not a man easy to push
aside. He had left Greece at the
age of 16, unschooled and hungry,
to turn up 10 years later a multi
millionaire. Rebuffed by the stiff
shirted gentlemen of Monte Carlo,
Onassis quietly started buying up
the shares of the Soci4te des Bains
de Mer which was stagnating on
the Paris stock exchange.
He Cot Il All
In THE end he owned the outfit
beach, hotels, theaters, baths,
gardens, restaurants, the historic
Casino itself - and the Winter
Sporting Club, in which the Offices
of his shipping company are now
firmly settled. 1t cost him an esti-
mated million dollars. Without
bOthering to appear at the
stockholders meeting himself,
he deposed the old board of
directors and fired the top
managers.
Monaco went into a dither. In
the golden age of roulette, the old
management, in exchange for its
gambling monopoly, had main
tained the principality's public
utilities and made the nation rich
with its kick-back on the Casino
profits. But it had sunk low in re-
cent years, bringing in a mere five
per cent of the treasury receipts,
or about half that provided by the
sale of the nations colorful post
age stamps.
His Answer
lHE question Monacans were
asking was, would this mysterious
new boss let the gambling business
60 completely broke while he filled
the beautiful yacht basin with his
sludgy tankers?
The answer came soon enough.
Onassis ships would remain regis
tered in Panama, Liberia, Costa
RIGA and similarly indulgent ma

tions. If they sailed under the
Monacan flag, they would be sub
ject to certain French taxes under
the provisions of the treaty be-
tween France and Monaco. Greek
ships are supposed to be registered,
for tax purposes, in Greece. How
ever, Aristotle Onassis, who was
at one time honorary Greek Con-
sui General in Argentina, suddenly
turned out to be an Argentine
citizen.
His ships registered in six
countries, he maintains homes
in four others, avoids the
French tax on his ships and the
Greek tax on his company. How
much personal income tax he pays
and to whom is not known, but his
company, operating in Monaco, is
tax-free. This, Monaco hopes, will
be an example to others who do
not like to pay income taxes.
As a businessman who cannot
refrain from making money, Onas-
sis, having almost inadvertently
come into possession of the Casino
and its satellite attractions, set
about reviving the business of
gambling. For long time, Monte
Carlo had the Riviera monopoly
on roulette, since the game was
outlawed in France. This monop-
oily ended in 1896, and since then
tourists have been losing their
money in the casinos of nearby
Nice and Cannes, as well as San
Reno in Italy.
Aeee1e J0e
Trying to regain its old primacy,
Monte Carlo made two concessions
to the 10th century. Hearing that
Las Vegas, New, was waxing rich
on a peculiar pastime called
"craps," the management dis
patched a crew of croupiers to the
Far West to learn the game and
then set up dice tables under the
carved arches of the Casino. Since
craps players refused to come in if
they had to dress up, the Casino
next relaxed its strict dress regula-
tions and soon shirt-sleeved tour
lists heard croupiers intone 'Leetle
Joe" and "Beeg Deck"
The new Onassis management
has put the emphasis back on
swank. The Casino, its threadbare

They are:

il efficiently until the fire depart
ment can arrive? Do you know
how to call the fire department,
and how to direct it to the scene
of the fire quickly and accurately?
Do you have ladder that will
let you fight fire on the highest
roof? Are your roofs protected
with asphalt shingles or some
other fire-resistant roofing? Have
you recently checked and re-
charged your fire extinguishers?
The National Fire Protection
Association says that almost all
farm fires can be prevented, but
that farmers, often far removed
from organized fire protection,
must look to their own defenses
to control and hold a fire in check
when it does occur.
County Agent Charles d. Raper
urges farmers in Columbus Coun-
ty to check their fire defenses
now, during Spring Cleanup, to
be sure they can act swiftly and
effectively. Minimum fire fighting
equipment for every farm in
cludeS:
l. An adequate supply of water
available for the use of fire trucks
and portable pumps.
?. Approved fire eXtinguishers
conveniently placed near all haz-
ar6ous locations. such as the barn,
machine shed, and storage tanks of
gasoline and kerosene. Ask the
fire department to be sure you
have the right type of extinguisher
to fight the kinds of fire you are
most likely to have. Recharge ex-
yearly where required.
8. Enough garden hose and a
filled water bucket for each 400
or 500 square feet of building.
4. Ladders long enough for res
cue purposes and to reach the
highest flammable roof top.
5. A back-pack pump and fire
swatter, wet brooms or wet burlap
bags to fight field fires.

Fire Safety
Urged By
County Agent

Spring is one of the best times
of the year to start a practical
year around fire safety program
on the farm, says Charles D. Rap
er. County Agent.
In getting ready for spring and
summer operations, farmers will
find that they can, at the same
time, correct many of the worst
fire hazards around the farm. And
without too much extra effort, if
any.
Most of these chores usually
come under the heading of spring

SoYbean Crops
Profitable In
Columbus County
BY CHARLES ID. RAPER

A number of Columbus County
farmers are looking around for
some suitable crops to replace
cotton and peanuts, since these
two crops have been placed under
allotmentS for the coming year.
There are crops that produce good
in Columbus County that some
farmers may want to substitute for
the acreage taken out of peanuts
and cotton and other farmers may
be interested in reducing the corn
acreage. Fertilizing the corn prop
erly will still make the amount OF
corn that they normally make. II
has been known for sometime that
corn yield under normal seasons
could be increased by 25 TO 50
bushels per acre with closer Spac-
ing and heavier fertilizing.
SoybeanS offer a number of
Columbus County farmers an OPP
portunity to utilize their other
wise idle or land not suitable for
tobacco into a profitable crop. A
new variety Of Soybeans adapted
to this area might enable soybean
growers to cut production cost per
buShel. This bean, the jackson,
has recently been developed by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
In cooperation with state expert
ment stations. Normally it grows
a little higher than the Roanoke,
carries resistance to lodging along
with slightly higher yields than
the Roanoke.
Regardless of the variety of
beans to plant the farmer should
keep in mind that ne needs to car
~ on a good rotation with soy
beans as well as with tobacco or
any other crop. a good three year
rotation for SoybeanS would be
corn, cotton, small grain and soy
beans. These crops are desirable
in the rotation since they carry
resistance to Southern Stem Rot
and to the Soybean Root Knot
Nematode. Tobacco, lcspedeza, and
peanuts should not be considered
in Soybean rotation since these
crops are susceptible to southern
stem rot and the Soybean nema-
tode. An important item in the
production Of SoybeanS is to have
the soil tested in order to insure
enough phosphate and potash for
the development of the soybeans.
Seldom can farmer guess how
much lime his soil needs and the
best method OF fertilization is to
follow the recommendation of the
soil test. slW
Another important item is 49,

usually an application of 400

Another important item in the

in three to three and one-half foot
rows as follows: Ogden, 1912

tween May l and 3Oth. After
planting control weeds early and

Rotary Hoe and peanut weeder are
good implements to use when the
beans are small and cultivation

A Word to the Wise syM'. f,o"t Cobb

With the approach Of winter,
many of the miners returned to
their homes in Illinois, and came
back in the spring when the
streams were thawing, and the
suckers" the first fish of the
season, were running plentifully.
AS the years went by it be-
came a common expression to
say that 1.-The suckers had come
back" On the other hand,
many of the miners, especially
those who had no family ties
to take them away. braved the
Wisconsin winters and spent
their time hunting, trapping,
ETC., and roughed it in primitive
quarters such as caves. dug
outs, mining drifts. and the like,
until spring brought them out
of their holes.
The returning suckers" as
the people from Illinois had be-
come known. would jokingly say
that "the Badgers had come
out" So it is that, though Illi-
nois does not especially abound
in suckers" and badgers" are
scarce in Wisconsin. the States
are still known as ''the Sucker
State" and 1.-The Badget State. "
