C, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1921 PLANNING TO HOLD FLOWER SHOW NEXT THURSDAY AND FRIDAY iees Appointed To Handle V; I epartmentfi Of the Show. At this season one often hears the question: "Are we going to have a flower show this year?" We surely are. It is the present plan to have it on Tuursaay and Fri day of next week. Some of the flow er growers think today that there is jDme doubt as to the Chrysanthe mums being ready by that time. In that event we will postpone the show a week, but the public will be noti fied positively in Tuesday's Public T A The prospects for a successful show are bricht. Good flowers are i exp'ected; the business men are being generous with their contribu tions toward the premiums; the club women are throwing them selves whole-heartedly into . the work; and last, but not least, three especially good meals are going to be served at moderate prices. All the good things of the season will be there. Even now turkeys are gobbling when-they realize that this time next week they will be the piece de resistance of many $1 dinner. Keep the flower snow in mind, good people. Every dollar you give us or spend withkis stop right here at home and will be spent again With you verv soon. Plan to take a meal with us; our menu and price wrill be published next week. The following committees have been appointtd: Chrysanthemum Show Committee. . Mrs. R. G. Lassiter, Mrs. W. D.

For years the owners and man agers of the roads have desired a showdown. One of the unpopular things that President Wilson did was to compel Congress, to put through the Adamson act when a similar strike was threatened. Big business interests never forgave Mr. Mike? inmn Postpone It is believed that the railroad executives are ready for the worst and think that they can meet it. jj ederal officials are preparing to stand by the roads and see that they have an opportunity to operate their trains. That was made plain here today. Attorney General Daugher ty thinks that the President has the power to act, and plans are being made for action. Postmaster Gen eral, Hays said that the mails would move, strike or no strike. This significant statement was is sued by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States today. . It is from President Joseph E. Defrees and reads: "The strike of railway employes ordered to commence October 30, by tying up the whole rail trans portation system of the nation, con templates a most cruel and unjusti fiable attack upon the cltiaens and government of the United States. The threatened railroad strike by the same bodies of workers in 1916. avoided by enactment by Congress of the Adamson law, could, offer in defense that there was not then in existence any constituted authority having jurisdiction to maKe decision as to the merits of such controver sies. , "Millions of workmen of all trades are. Walking thp etrootc coorth -r-.f " vvku dtaiU VJL I work in order to feed and shelter the millions more dependent upon ! meui. w sucn a time inese men, rail road workers, guided by leaders of too great intelligence to fail to per ceive the consequences of their at tack, flout and defy the award of the railroad labor board, the legal ly constituted body having jurisdic tion to pass upon differences be tween them and their employers."

THE NITRATE OUTPUT IS CUT BY BLAST One-fifth of Germany's nitrate production was wiped out in the ex plosion that wrecked the Oppau works of the Badische Anilin and Soda Fabrik on the Rhine in Ger many. This plant, which was the German mainstay for nitrate production dur ing the war, was capable ofproduc ing 100,000 tons of nitrogen a year, according to information obtained from governmental sources here. The yearly nitrogen output of all the by-product coke oven plants of this country would just about equal the production of - the destroyed plant, while the Oppau output was two and a half times as great as that planned for our ,war-built Mus cle Shoals nitrate plant which Ford is negotiating for. The wrecked German plant could have supplied one-third of all the nitrogen that we are using yearly for fertilizer, chem ical, and all other purposes. LLOYD GEORGE TO COME TO AMERICA Tells House Of Commons On Re opening That He Will Attend Parley London, Oct. 18. Mr. Lloyd George, the prime minister, stated in the House of Commons upon the reassembling of tliL.-body today, that he hoped to go to Washington to attend the conference on limita tion of armaments and discussion of Far Eastern and Pacific questions.

ASKS A LOGICAL QUESTION ABOUT TAXATION He Wants To Know the "Ins" and ne "tmxs" ana tne "whys" and Editor Public Ledger: I have just read the last issue of your paper, and am simply aston ished by the County tax levy as given on your front page. I am writing to ask you, or some one who is on the "inside" and who knows ' the "ins" and "outs" and the "whys" and "wherefores" of these things, to clarify the muddy waters so that the average farmer, whose back is bent and whose head is so near the dust under the weight or this great mountain of taxation that he can not see without help, to so state these very intricate matters that he may understand them. Let us analyze: Last year the school tax was 21 cents on the $100.00: this year it is 50 cents; last year the road tax was 22 cents; this year it is 43 cents. Last year the total rate was 66 cents including 13 cents for State purposes: this year the total rate is $1.08 with no State tax; reduct the 13 cents from last year and the rate would have been 53 cents; or less than half what it is this year. This seems to me to be out of proportion to the reduction in val uation, and the average taxpayer can see no cause for this enormous in crease.. So far as I can learn the teachers are not getting it, nor is there any .more road work going on this year than last year. I am from Missouri. Will somebody show me? B. F DEAN. REV. H. M.

PRESUMPTION PERSONDjTED Mother Of Eighteen Children Wants No Advice By Ameteurs. Mrs. Domenico Zaceahea whose successful efforts to keep a family of 18 on the $20 a week earned by her husband received public notice after President Harding wrote con gratulating her on her large, family has been besieged by an army of so-called experts with minute charts to show the matron lady how to live scientifically, says the New York Times. "One of them was a young woman with big, horn-rimmed spectacles and several books and papers under her arm," said Mrs. Zaceahea. "She wanted to come in, look over the place, interview the children one by one and then draw up a chart show ing us how to live scientifically. "I asked her if she was married. She said she wasn't. "I asked her if she ever tried keeping a big family on $20 a week. She said she hadn't. . "Then I told her to go out and try both and when she had got away with them she might come back and we'd compare notes. That was the last we saw of her."
