Scholars May Remain qn the Farms Albany, August 28—The State Food Commission has placed on the farms this year 12,000 boys and 3,000 girls to aid the farmers to put in, cultivate and harvest their crops. The short age of farm labor makes it imtierative that these boys and girls continue their work in order to save the crops t. and conserve the food supply. On the request of Governor Whitman and John Mitchell, President of the State Food Commission, Dr. Thomas E. Deputy Commissioner of has arranged to release the boys and girls working for the ers until October 16.

The amount received by the wheat grower for his contribution to the average pound has increased from less than cents per loaf in 1913 to more than 3 34 cents early this year, proportion to the whole price is shown . by the relative length of the black | *ettlnK the loaf to the c°nsumer- columns of the chart. The middle portion of eich column shows what the miller received for his milling costs and profit. This has been a somewhat variable factor, but is now at the minimum (6%). In this 6%, however^ is included the cost of the containers (bags, sacks, etc.) shown as dotted area which has in creased very nearly in proportion to the price of bread itself. Bags now cost about 50% more than in 1913 1914. The shaded portion of the column represents the expense of distributing the flour, making it into bread and The chart shows that the farmer Ts now receiving a much larger share of the final price for his product than in the past, and that a considerable amount of “spread” has been taken out of other expenses.

BiZey Criticises Nassau Situation (From Brooklyn Kegle) Frank Bailey, vice president of the Title Guarantee and Trust Company, criticises tax conditions in Nassau County, especially with reference to so-called town lots, and in a state ment recently issued calls the situa tion intolerable. “The tax sale situation in Greater New York and Nassau County is very different,\ states Mr. Bailey, “and very much to the detriment of Nas sau County, I think.” “In New York County, from time to time, at irregular intervals, the city sells property for taxes, or rather, it sells a first mortgage on the property for the amount of the taxes due. The buyer obtains a first mortgage for three years at the rate of interest bid by him. This, in theory, is the situa tion, fair to the owner for he has three years in which to pay the taxes. The buyer of the small liens at the tax sale, usually in conjunction with a member of the Bar, sends no notice of interest when it is due, which is something which the law does not re quire, and then starts foreclosure of the tax lien thirty days after the in terest is due, and adds to the amount of the taxes and interest the costs al lowed the attorney foreclosing. These costs are very liberal from a layman’s standpoint, and more liberal than they should be, and the costs amount often to mutih more than the tax. If the law were amended compelling notice to some one party interested in the property, at the expense of, say not over $5, the Bar might be deprived of an income at the expense of the un fortunate who could not pay his taxes, but the unfortunate would be very much better off.” In Nassau County, however, the situation is quite different. There the taxes are collected not in the one place, but in various places. For in stance, sometimes it is necessary to obtain separate bills for the village school and town and county taxes.’ ihese taxes are collected by collectors who receive a fee for collection, and the longer the tax is delayed the larger the fee. There is no \efficient map of the county and the unsophis ticated, and even those who are in telligent find it very difficult to nay, their taxes in this county. A woman who has bought a lot in any of the outlying parts of Nassau will strive with great difficulty to obtain her tax bill as the taxes are not due at any specified time, but in accordance with resolution of the Board of Supervis ors. If these taxes remain unpaid for two years the property is advertised for sale, with a brief description, in various Nassau County papers. The owner of the property, if it be vacant, has a year in which to redeem from that sale. If he does not redeem, the title becomes absolute and the holder of the deed from the County Treas urer can exact as much as he wishes from the owner of the lot. Thus, fre quently, a $6 tax will become a .$100 claim. 1 settled a $20 claim the other day for $250. The owner receives no notice of this tax or the tax sale, or the fact that the deed is to be deliv ered, excepting through so-called con structive notice of newspaper adver tising in Nassau County. “This law has been upheld by the courts, but is most unjust and most unfair. The distinction, therefore, be tween the tax sales in Nassau County and New York City is that a man can not lose his property in New York City without receiving legal and fair notice by personal service, whereas in Nassau County, if he fails to pay a tax for one year and has paid every The fire department Electric During the severe electrical storm Thursday evening lightning struck the residence of George Patter.on, on Lena Avenue, was cklled but the fire had been prac tically extinguished when the whis tle was blown.

Why can't two citizens of a small hamlet like Freeport dwell together in harmony, especially when both are good enough fellows to run news papers. If they must fight why don’t they go out and get that submarine that is bothering the fish along the South Shore. All this quarrel is over a false issue, anyhow, because we wish to im press upon these misguided gentle men that neither Freeport nor Rock ville Centre is the leading village of Nassau County. This honor belongs to Lynbrook and if this war had not come along to slow, up non-gssentials like home building we would have an nexed Rockville Centre this season and had an alderman from Freeport sitting in the Lynbrook City Council by next Spring.

Editor, but you are not in the same fix, trying to “straddle\ for two villages. You are just stretching the truth for your home village, which is a cronic dis ease in newspaper life, but, if after saying that Lynbrook is the garden spot of the world this week you had to come out, for instance, in your next issue and swear that Valley Stream was just as good and then some, wouldn’t it make your head ache?

CREVOISERATS Communication Why Not Beer at Home? August 26, 1918. Editor Nassau Review, Freeport, N. Y. I desire to bring to your attention a ridiculous and unjust condition of af fairs now prevailing in Freeport. Qwing to the action of the local authorities the local dealers are not permitted to deliver bottled beer to the residence of would-be purchasers, although if a citizen desires he may procure same by calling at a saloon or dealer’s establishment and taking the beer home with him; or he may order from New York ir Brooklyn, or elsewhere and the beer will be de livered at his home. This state of affairs is both absurd and wrong, and is an unjust discrim ination against our local dealers. | There are many of us, strictly tem- , perate men, who enjoy a glass of beer ; with our evening meal; and why we j cannot have a local dealer deliver the I same to us when an outside concern would be permitted to do so, or we ! can procure it by bringing it home, is something beyond our comprehension. I hope you .will publish this protest in your valued columns. HENRY E. SMITH. | (We have looked into the the mat ter quite thoroughly and cannot see : the fairness of the regulation. Either : the proper authorities should prevent | the delivery of beer by outside con- | cerns or they should forthwith re move the restriction as to dealers within the town. Under present regu lations the provision becomes some what of a farce.—Ed.) and noble cause; that our soldiers in France and our sailors on the sea are fighting for right and justice.
