A program of the joint Teach
<‘rs Institute has reached here
and shows that most of the
teachers of this county have

dicussion of school problems.

nell and an address of welcome

Car Turns Over on
Curve Near Dunk Ranch.
Last Sunday afternoon while
Mrs. Hankins and Misses Lois
and Blix and Miss Lottie Hey-
man were returning from the
A. & M. and Texas foot ball
game, the car in which they
were riding, turned over on one
of the curves near the Dunk
Ranch, about eighteen miles out

as they were rounding the curve
one or the tires blew out, caus-

the car, which turned complete-

top was torn up and the radia-

of the first day.
The combining of the teach-
ers’ institutes of the two coun-
ties will have many advantages.
Both counties have a limited
number of teachers, thus mak- „„„ fcW1II u„ ttIIU ,ne r<lulfl

eliminated in the meeting of the
teachers from both counties.
Again, it will give the teachers
of the two counties that are so
closely associated in every way,
an opportunity to meet each oth-
er and to arrange a bigger edu-
cational program for this part
of the State.
The programs were printed
aside from a few minor sprains
and bruises no one was hurt.

HAY MAKING WITHOUT SUNSHINE.
An English farmer, Mr. R. Borlace Matthews, has installed
a device on his 600 acre farm at Greater Felcourt, East Grinsted,
Sussex, England, that has made it possible to get good sweet hay
in perfect condition without the sun. Photo shows some of the
hay made without the aid of sunshine, also part of the electrical
equipment used to drive the fans.

Last week a news item on the
front page stated that the an-
nual motor vehicle license tax
was due on the first day of De-
cember and that on account of
the plates being late, that the
time would be extended to De-
cember 15th in this county.
This information was furnished
us by Sheriff Taylor and pub-
lished at his request. This
item has resulted in quite a hit
of confusion to the people own-
ing cars and the further fact,
that during last week a number
of fx'rsons were informed on the
streets and at the several gar-
ages by some one outside the
Sheriff’s office that the 15th of
December was the time limit,
caused a number of car owners
to |wy license fees Saturday.
We regret the fact that we
did not look the matter up be-
fore publishing it, and in order
to be relieved of any responsi-
bility for a decision in the mat-
tor, we gi\e below the law as it
is printed, and as tin* statutes
are very clear on the subject, no
comment need be made. This is
the latest revised statutes, in
eluding the acts of the 37th
Legislature, showing that the
tax »s due and jmyable on Jan-
uary 1st, each year:

Considerable discussion of
the date when newly elected
County Officers will take charge
of their respective offices is be-
ing heard. The 37th Legisla-
ture passed a law providing that
the date be changed from the
1st day of December to the 1st
day of the following January.
Heretofore the county officers
took charge at the end of the
fiscal year, but in passing this
I law the legislature failed to
change the date for the ending
of the fiscal year, and quite a
bit of extra reporting and extra
work is necessary, on this ac-
count.
Those officers who receive fees
as all or part salary will have to
make two reports, according to
a decision of Assistant Attorney
General Bruce W. Bryant, ren-
dered recently.
“Under the provisions of Ch.
15, General Laws, passed at the
Regular Session of the Thirty-
seventh Legislature, and under
Sec. 17, Art. 16, of the Constitu-
tion of the State of Texas, all
county and precinct officers, now
in office, will continue in office
until January 1, 1923, and there-
after until their successor shall
have qualified. Such officers as
are affected by the “fee bill”
should make an annual report on
December 1, 1922, as required
m Art. 3mm, rc. s., iiiii, arm
another report, when they go
out of office, covering that part
of the fiscal year, served by
them, beginning December i,
1922.
" I he amount of fees a county
or other officer whose fees are
affected by the “fee bill" may
retain for services rendered as
such oilier between December 1,
1922, and the time his successor
qualities can not Ik* determined
until the close o| the fiscal year
ending November 30, 1923.
"All county officers as well as
all justices ot the |>euce and con-
st aides serving in cities of more
than twenty thousand inhabi-
tants, will b«* entitled to receive
as com|M*MHfition tor official ser-
vices rendered for that part of
the fiscal year beginning De
comber I. 1922, and etiditp when
their successor shall have quali-
liod, such proportional part of
the fees accruing to the office
tor the fiscal year beginning De
comber I. 1922. as the turn of
then service bears to the entire
the law in dealing with compen-
sation of such officers makes the
“fiscal year” the unit of time
tor which such officers are to be
paid. Each officer is to be paid
in accordance with the time he
served and each officer is enti-
tled to receive his proportional
part of the annual earnings and
that regardless of the amount
earned during his tenure of of-
fice for such fractional part of
the year.”
Weather Report for Last Month

tered freezing or below. During

lam fell, as follows; on the 5th,
65-100; on the 16th, 53-100, and
