ONE DISGUSTED EDITOR. j Will Swap Paper for Farm? I Tired of Empty Honor. Newspaper publishing is the great bonanza of the century, The coin rolls in and can't be stopped. The broom is not able to sweep it all up, so fastly does it accumulate. But the smell of the ink and the clatter of the machines grow weary to one's ears, and we want to get back to the farm, where life moves along in the even tenor of its way, ever serene. And we want to trade ^ the Journal for a farm. About the receipts: Well, last | week, an average one for the year, the amount of money coming in, ''1 ? *- ?f iiraethoimmpn^p Wlinoui geiluiK wui,noo sum of $3.59. Three fifty-nine in one week. Think of it! Ain't it great? % Here are a week's expenses: Labor $12 50 Rents 7 00 Paper and postage 5 00 Ink, lights, fuel, licenses. taxes (average) 3 00 Incidentals 50 $28 00 i The above does not give ye humble servant, the editor, one penny. He's got to get groceries, pay rent, dodge the doctor's and druggist's bills,the grocer and wood man, keep [ body and soul together and continually be cussed as a damned scoundrel and dead beat, and as one that does more harm than good to the f community. % If anybody wants the above prop-! osition notify us at once.

Appropriation for Bathroom Attendants at the Capitol Defeated. h ? ** - ?f? i Washington,Decernt>er i<:?mem- ( bers of the House of Representatives , who desire to take baths in the fu- ( ture will have to do so at some place j other than the elegantly appointed 1 room in the House office building ( fitted up for that purpose, provided j ] the House finally adopts and the Sen-, ( ate concurs in an amendment made , to the legislative.executive and judicial appropriation bill by the com- ; mittee of the whole House on the ( state of the Union. The section appropriating salaries to the attend- j ants at the bath was stricken out and ( a further amendment provided for , the sale of the bathroom fittings and the return of the money to the treasury of the United States. , An effort to have salaries of clerks to the House members increased from $1,500 to $2,000 was defeated.

He has received the unanimous i applause of the nation for this and ; other excellent selections as Associ- j ate Justices of the court. The Columbia Record says it is a little unusual,in fact,unprecedented, that a President should appoint one of another party than his own to the Chief Justiceship. Mr Taft has not only appointed a Democrat as Chief Justice but has appointed two Dem-j ocratsas Associate justices?juuge | Horace H Lurton of Tennessee and Joseph R Lamar of Georgia.

EJ tt? ii a 8EHL won t you uy ur mt Please da gj THE NUT TO CRACK. ' Many Answers Snbmttted?Mr Jack McColIongb the Winner. So many answers came to our little problem, "A Nut to Crack'', that it is a hard matter indeed to decide an the winner. The prize was'offered free and unconditionally, no strings tied to it, and the only fair and impartial way to award it was to go through every paper and carefully consider its merits. After examining every one of two dozen or more submitted, we decided to award the prize to Master Jack McCullough, of Benson postoffice, the fourteen-yearold son of County Superintendent rj..? ui Duutanuu ivi^vuiiuu^u, Nearly every one of the answers received solved correctly the little puzzle and most of them were written and expressed fairly well. There are two methods of solving the puzzle: one by pouring first into the five gallon keg involving six steps; the other, starting by pouring into the three gallon keg requiring seven steps. Mr McCullough's solution svas the first that came in, but we iid not consider that, as we wanted to give those living at a distance the same showing as the near-by mes. We adjudge him the winner because his paper was the only one that gave both solutions correctly. other, Mr David Woodberry of Johnsonville, gave one method all right, but on the second (possibly in copying it off) he omitted one step. It is gratifying indeed to note the interest excited among the school children by the puzzle and erelong we hope to give them some more "nuts to crack." Our only regret is that we cannot give to each little one who responded a year's subscription to the Youth's Companion and the Companion calendar, the prizes offered. Mr McCullough's two methods of solution are given below: Editor County Record:? I offer the two following solutions to your "Nut to Crack", seen in this week's "Record": No 1. Fill 5-gal keg,then fill 3-gal keg out of 5-gal keg, leaving 2 gallons in 5-gal keg; then pour the 3galIons into 8-gal keg. Pour the 2 galIamo A_rrol 1/nnr intn *i-rm 1 Lrunr1 ivno 11 win u-^ai rvcj; u:iu 1 rwv.?t, then fill 5-gal keg again, and finish filling 3-gal keg from 5-gal keg,leaving 4 gallons in 5-gal keg. No 2. Pour the 3-gal keg full, then pour it into the 5-gal keg, ther fill the 3-gal keg again and finish filling the 5-gal keg out of the 3-gal keg, leaving one gallon in the 3-ga! keg. Then pour the 5 gallons back into the 8-gallon keg; then pour the one gallon from the 3-gal keg into the 5-gal keg. Then fill the 3-gal keg once more and pour into the 5gal keg, which already has one gallon in it, making 4 gallons in the 5gal keg and 4 gallons in the 8-gal keg. Jack McCullough.
