COUNTY LOSES THE books or County Treasurer Ooneiniller show Umfc in Alnreh he iuviied in (o the county $200.8: as in terest received from banks for county funds deposited, and in April $32.G0 from (he same source. These are the only records of interest ever received from county funds, and proves that the county has been losing a considerable revenue to which it was legally entitled. Mr. Ooneiniller is serving his third term as treasurer, and yet the county received no other amounts as interest upon tho money it has had on deposit, either during his regime or before. Mr. Cronemiller asserts that tho banks paid no interest until January 1, 1912, since when they - JS nt or have paid 2 percent on daily balances. it the banks did not pay interest before this year, why did not the treasurer exact it from them' Several thou sand dollars could have been realized thus during Mr. Cronemiller's regime. It is customary for banks to pay for the use of public fuuds any bank is glad to get them upon these terms. The city of Medford realizes annuallv. quite a sum from this source. The state of Orocron realizes quite a sum also from the deposit of state "When the banks, according to Mr. Cronemiller, volun teered of their own accord (a custom banks have) to pay the interest, and did pay it for January and .February, why did Mr. Cronemiller withhold it, until threatened by a taxpayer just before the primary election, when he turned in the three mouths interest lumped? "Why did not tJie expert, employed by the county to audit its accounts, make known tho fact that the county was losing its interest money when he made his first examination three years ago, and his later examination this year? Another important leak that escaped the expert and the treasurer 'too, is the keeping of large funds on deposit that until recently netted the countv nothimr and now net two percent, when the money could be used to redeem outstanding warrants that cost the county six percent. For instance, of the tax money paid in for state taxes, o2,UU0 has been remitted $20,000 in the treasurer's warrants with this amount, paying the state out of the tax installment paid in the fall, the treasurer is holding it to remit with the balance next fall, and the count continues the six percent payments on this amount of warrants. The sheriff has had in his custody for over a month approximately $100,000, which will be turned over to the treasurer whenever the clerical work of writing out tax receipts is completed. Under the antiquated system in vogue, this is impossible for some weeks yet. This money is on deposit jn various banks, but no interest is paid for its use, and interest should be paid to the county for it. The present system has been in force for years. It is impractical and obsolete and modern business methods should replace it, whereby the count' treasurer receives daily all the cash taken in by all the oL'fittcs, and the county realizes interest on its daily balances. The sheriff's office should be separate from the tax collecting department, and the office of county auditor be created and the treasurer make the collections, with a system whereby receipts can be issued and entries made as fast as the monev comes in. School Gardens (By U. S. Collins, Superintendent of Schools.) In any phase of educational work, tho first question which presents It self Is, What is the effect of the exercise or tho study upon tho pupil? Those who have tho most experience Jn. tho school garden movement arc emphatic In their statements regard ing the educational valuo of this work. It is claimed that quick. dis crimination Is ono of the pronounced qualities resulting from it. Skill with the hands Is necessarily an out come. Tho handling of small seeds and of various tools naturally devel ops skill and agility. Systematic methods also follow from tho natural order in which tho operations con ducted In the garden must bo taken up. This not only develops a very Important faculty, hut at the same tlmo teaches the young mind a log ical ocquenco based upon the natural order of things. Industry Is not an unimportant re sult which comes from school gar dening. The Idea of ownership and the rights of ownership, which comes from the possession of a garden, in duce tho pupil to exercise his ability to niako his possession as good or hotter than that of his neighbor. Tho natural result of this Is industry. Business experience Is an Important result of harvesting and accounting for tho products which are grown. Tho right of ownership and tho re spect for property rlghtB nro more largely doveloped from tho posses sion of Individual gardens than In community gardens. Tho Idea that "what Is mine 1b my own uecopies very Birongiy oovoi oped, with tho natural sequence that such possessions must bo properly protected and all rights concerned rcepocted. On tho other hand, a party Interest In a community garden docs not so emphatically develop tho Idea of Individual responsibility, and each ono has a tendency to caro less for tho plants which another has shared in producing, with tho result that responsibility Js shirked, nnd there Is lack or Interest, with a con sequent lack of Industry. For this reason, Jn our work from tho very Inception tho Individual garden Idea has boon emphasized and strictly ad- horeu to throughout our city schools, aiEDFOTtf) WKU TRTBTJOTi), arEDFOttP, QRKflON', INTEREST MONEY. funds. the state treasurer, leaving hands. Instead of redeeming and Their Effect The Individual garden has tho ad vantage of allowing each one pos sessing a garden to perform each and every operation connected with the preparation, planting, and caro of tho plants grown In that garden. This, as before stated, not only develops system, hut It furnishes a basis of vpry valuable knowledge, If tho oper ations connected with tho crops nro properly conducted. If the require ments of the different crops In re gard to preparation of soil, depth or planting, date or planting, and man ner or harvesting and training nro all carefully observed, tho young mind has Indelibly fixed upon It Im pressions which will bo retained throughout life. Tho cultivation and management of theso crops in future years will bo looked upon as a Kort ot Instinct, tho tlmo and nt sinner or acquiring this knowledge having, porhaps, long ago been forgotten. Tho skill and ability resulting from tho use of various Implements con nected with tho cultivation aro of no mean significance. In connection with theso opera tions, the teacher can Illustrate the good and evil effects from certain methods of cultivation, of working soil when in good and bad condition, with tho consequent effects upon growing crops; can Illustrate tho value of deep and shallow tillage, together with tho Importance of maintaining a loose soil mulch for tho conservation of moisture. In (act tho school garden should bo looked upon as a laboratory In which tho different stops In tho life of tho plant aro to ho Illustrated and demonstrated. Tho nature of tho soil, tho Importance of fertilization, and tho conditions essential to ger mination, us well as tho conditions conducive) to growth, can all bo Illus trated In a logical and impressive manner In tho school gardpn, WILSON AND UNDERWOOD FIGHT FOR MISSISSIPPI JACKSON, MihH., May 7. -With only Wooihow Wilhoit unci Obcm Un derwood on tho ticket Hie democratic nrchiili'iiiinl preference primary in being held here loduy, The weather 13 ith'Hl' but lh voto is IikIiU M KNOX US S1EMWADP l.OS ANQKI.Ks, Cal, May S.A umriuo whoso ntuiu' I withhold by Cnntnin .1.
