f Potash for
Side Dressing
For side dressing cotton, corn and other
Southern crops,
200 pounds Kainit, or
125 pounds 20 per cent Manure Salt, or
50 pounds of Muriate of Potash,
furnish the same amount of Actual Potash
which is so profitable in preventing cot

cotton, corn and general crops.
These are the three Standard German
Potash Salts that have been used for gen

Having planted the crop, one cannot
afford to let it starve. A good side dress

Growth of the Kansas Language.
Judge J. C. Ituppenthal of Russell,
author of a Western Kansas diction
ary, and student of American dialects
to such an extent that he is recognized
as nn authority, is of opinion that
much of the corrupted French the
boys brought home from overseas will
remain and become part of our
language. "No doubt," he writes in
the Luray Herald, "our language will
permanently keep such words as bean
tote, bone jar, by joe, bullion, calf,-
fox paus, Jenny's pa, silver plate, three
beans and toot sweet." —Kansas City

A TERRIFIC BLOW
TO LARGER TOWNS
MUNICIPAL FINANCE ACT IS
RULED TO BE INVALID BY
ATTORNEY GENERAL.
' * " * *
LEGISLATURE MUST CORRECT
The Issue Was Raised by Bonding
Attorneys to Whom the Statute
Had Been Submitted.
Raleigh.
Attorney General James S. Manning
ruled that the municipal finance act
of 1921 is invalid and in doing so
held that .a clerical error in the jou>-
nal of the senate proceedings caii
only be corrected by the legislature
itself.
It is a terrific Mow to the larger
cities of the state, like Charlotte,
Asheville, Raleigh, Wilmington and
Greensboro. Unless they get relief
they are debarred from levying taxes
sufficient to indebtedness.
The issue was nftsed by bonding
attorneys to whom the act had been
submitted connection with the of
fering of municipal paper issued un
der the prpvisions of the new law.
They investigated the records and
found that the bill is not recorded
on the senate Journal as passing a
roll call vote on final reading. The
constitution expressly says that tax
ation measures must pass their sev
eral readings on a roll call vote and
be so recorded in die journal.
"Unless the legislature corrects
this error," City Clerk Wf L. Dowell,
of Raielgh, saidT "several towns in the
state might just as well nail up their
doors and go out of business."
Counties Want to Begin Work.
Eight*counties came to the highway
commission with proposals to go
ahead and build their part of the state
highway system and let the state re
imburse them when it was able. The
commission accepted the propqpals,
and ordered the roads built as soon as
the formalities of advertising for con
tracts can be complied wtih.
Guilford, Granville, Pasquotank,
Beaufort, Duplin, Pamlico, and Colum
bus counties had delegations here
with such proposals, and other coun
ties- h»ve delegations in the city wait
ing their turn with similar proposals.
