EDITS PAPER FOR 40 YEARS Wm, F, Huntj of Wanatah, Indc, Makes Success in Small Town.

W^ziatah, Ind., July 12.—For nearly 40 years, William Frederick Hunt, 60, has published the Wanatah Mirror, a weekly and the town’s only newspaper,. without the convenience of electricity. The Mirror is printed on a Washington hand press, which is approximately 100 years old. Yet, when the Mirror “goes to press” each Thursday afternoon the excitement which accompanies the “turn, em over” order in the pressroom of a metropolitan daily permeates Hunt’s small shop. Hunt came to this country from Germany at the age of six. Most of his life lias been spent in printing shops. In 1900 he married Sadie F. Thompson, Wanatah’s first newspaper Compositor. “Billy,” as he is called by his intimates, is the editor and publisher of the Mirror. He specializes in editorials on governmental topics, and adds news stories, witty proverbs and solicits the advertismeats.

sible. As a result of discoveries made in this laboratory of the greatly improved performance made possible i with aluminum cylinder heads due particularly to the practicability of higher compressions and a new I form of combustion chamber, there j has been a marked advance in car performance. The laboratory is conducted by the engineering depart-1 ment of the Bohn Aluminum &j Brass Corporation in charge of ! David E. Anderson, Chief Engineer.]

His wife is the Mirror’s only reporter and she contributes local news, which has caused many of those who have drifted to New York, California, Florida, the Panama canal zone, Philippines and many-other sectors to send subscriptions to keep in contact with the “home town.” On Thursdays, they combine their efforts to effect the mechanical perfection of the paper. Hunt becomes the main cog— ! putting the paper in place, inking the type, and operating the ancient press. Skilled by 40 years experience, “Billy” turns the paper out in short order. Hunt has become a consistent contributor to magazines with poetry and during other spare moments he makes fine violins. — o PIONEERS’ GRAVES LOST

Chicago—Nameless and unknown more than 100,000 pioneers lie in forgotten graves in Illinois, according to M. F. Wittele, president of the Illinois Association of Cemetery Officials. No records were kept of burials in the state until after 1800.

GOV. M‘NTT GIVES ACCOUNT OF STEWARDSHIP DURING THE PAST 12 MONTHS IN INDIANA

(Special to the Post-Democrat) Indianapolis, Ind., July 1.—The condition of the state’s business, as a result of good business management, is healthy and flourishing at the end of the fiscal year, and the general fund shows a balance of more than nine million dollars, Governor Paul V. McNutt told the people in his weekly radio broadcast, in which he gave an account of his stewardship during the past year. Setting out the fact that the past year, as well as the other two years of his administration, have been anxious ones, and that the people of the state have been faced with trials, he reported the state’s business to be in excellent financial condition, and that it reflected in many respects a healthy condition of business, generally. The Governor said, in part: “In January, 1933, when the present administration took over the reins of the state’s business, there was a book balance in the general fund of the state treasury of $3,227,987.86, every cent of which was mortgaged for immediate payment of current bills. We were faced with a tremendous deficit. The general assembly of 1933 and the state administration co-operating, adopted a program of retrenchment and economy to meet the needs of the time. After payment of all bills, we ended the fiscal year on July 1, 1933, with $3,013,500.61. That year and the year following were anxious ones for the state and nation, so the state administration pulled in its belt, as was necessary in all business during the time of crisis, and the fiscal year 1934 ended with a balance of $5,721,520.58. Exact Figures Given “And tonight, while I am unable to give you exact figures, due to the fact that the books will not be closed until Monday, I am able to report that we will have a balance in the general fund of approximately $9,000,900', with our state budget balance. Only approximately $4,000,000 is ear-marked for distribution, and that not until August 1, when that amount will be paid to various public school corporations of the state for payment of teachers’ salaries. To off-set this, however, will be the July collections of the gross income tax department, which is expected to near a $3,000,000 mark. “Further than that, there is approximately $l,755,00‘0i on deposit with the treasurer of state which is not included in the $9,000,000 balance. This deposit is made daily from the excise department from taxes and license fees, from alcoholic beverages. Approximately a half-million of that amount will go into the general fund, the rest to the excise fund for distribution to schools, and to cities and towns. “Proof of the fact that the additional taxes, such as the gross income, intangible, and the excise taxes have lifted the burden from property, is the fact that of this $9,000,000 balance in the general fund, only approximately $750,000 is property tax and of the total appropriation of $13,949,160.50 for the operation of the state's business for the coming year, the properay tax yield will be less than $2,000,000. Your administration has kept its pledge to spread the tax base, and lift the burden from property. “In connection with the end of the fiscal year, comes the distribution of gasoline tax and auto license fees to the local units of government. Warrants will be mailed Tuesday to these local units, totaling $2,591,469.80. Sinking Fund Set Up “The general assembly, cognizant of the tremendous losses of public moneys in the municipal corporations of the state in closed banks, passed a law setting up a state sinking fund for the protection of public funds in public depositories. With the closing of hundreds of banks during those hectic days, the loss of public funds became an unbearable load on the tax-payers. And so to protect the tax-payer, the state sinking fund was set up, collected from the interest of public deposits, to pay these losses. “Co-incident with the end of the fiscal year comes the annual report of this state sinking fund. This report should prove of general interest from the fact that approximately 1,800 subdivisions of government are protected under this law, and since its enactment, more than 400 municipal Corporations have received this protection. The annual report shows that total claims paid in the sinking fund, from January, 1933, to June 30, 1935, amounted to $3,164,186.17. And of this amount only $15,350 was in state claims, the balance being settlements of claims from local units of .government. During the past year, from July 1, 1934, to June 30, 1935, claims paid amounted to $1,203,075.93, and a balance in the fund of $146,109.12. There are in process of settlement $580,140i in claims now in litigation and pending. The interest from which this fund is collected amounts to 2 per cent on the minimum daily balance, and there is a minimum of approximately $145,000,000 of public funds on deposit in about 400 depositories at all times in the state. “And so it can be readily seen that this act alone has saved taxpayers of Indiana the amount of the claims paid, more than $3,000,000, for these funds were tax funds, raised for specific purposes, and for which additional tax levies would have been necessary, had not the helping hand of the state sinking fund been there in lieu of a tax levy. Healthy Inniieations “One of'the healthy indications

that business in general is on the up-grade is the increase in tax and fees paid by insurance companies into the state insurance department. This tax and the fees are paid on a premium basis, and is a direct reflection of better business, for it is only when people have money in excess of their living costs that they buy insurance. The premium tax on insurance policies increased from $1,557,556 last year to $1,648,603 this year; the fees increased from $42,342 to $127,714 —a total increase of $176,419.49 for the year. Another direct reflection of increased business stability and of better conditions generally is shown by the fact that collections of gross income tax for the first quarter of this year shows a 17 per cent increase over the first quarter of 1934. Last year the first quarter collections totaled $2,530,001?', while the collection for the first quarter of 1935 totaled $2,950,000—in increase of $420,000. “This betterment in conditions is also reflected in the average per return. The average income paid in 1934 was $32.80, while I he average paid for the first quarter of this year amounted to $42. It is my hope that this trend toward economic security will be further shown in the income tax returns, due next month. “A large additional appropriation was made this year to take care of the increase in the state police department. And in spite of these additions, our budget appropriation was approximately $5,000,000 less than the appropriation for the preceeding administration. “It has taken some time fdl' the effectiveness of some of the policies adopted by .the administration and of the economic reform laws passed by Democratic general assemblies to show results. But these results are now being made manifest in no uncertain way, and are proving, I believe, that certain reforms which were at first received with timidity— and even with hostility—by a small per cent of the people, are now being favorably accepted. Business in Government This report of state Sinance is one in which 1 believe the people of Indiana can take justifiable pride. We have endeavored, and the results speak for themselves, to put business in government and to manage the affairs of the state with all the economy consistent with good government. We have spent money where it was good business‘to spend money, and we have adopted a policy of retrenchment where that was good business “Indiana, in comparison with other states, has been placed in an enviable position: First, because

the state government of Indiana gives equal service or better, on a budget totaling millions of dollars less than the states surrounding her. “Second, because Indiana does not owe one penny, while the bonded indebtedness of Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky and other states runs into staggering figures. While other states have exhausted sources of taxation, Indiana has refrained from adding additional tax, and has at the same time reduced the tax on real property.”

Require Permit to Remove Vegetation from Lakes, Rivers Permits for the removal of vegetation from the lakes and streams of Indiana are now being issued under provisions of a law enacted by the general assembly, it was announced today by Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner of the department of conservation. The law is beneficial to fish life. The permits are issued without charge but the person receiving the permit must observe regulations prescribed by the department of icpnservation in the removal of water vegetation. The law applies to all weeds, moss or other water vegetation growing in the fresh water lakes, streams and rivers of the state. On Commercial Basis In past years the removal of vegetation from-lakes and streams has been on a commercial basis, this vegetation being sold for use in home aquariums and pools. In some streams and lakes, usually near the large centers of population, practically all vegetation was pulled, destroying an important natural food sources for fish and a place of protection for the small fish. \ Vegetation in the lakes and streams has- several functions. It is a food source for many species of fish; it generates oxygen in the water while dispelling carbon dioxide, thus increasing the purity of the water, and serves as a place for small fish to hide from their natural enemies. The law permits owners of land fronting on a lake or stream "to remove vegetation from the immediate vicinity of a boat landing or bathing beach adjacent to his property but. provides that the area from which the vegetation is removed shall not exceed 200 square feet in area arid that the vegetation removed shall not be sold or given away. o—— FIRES BESET VILLAGE Nampa, Idaho—In a little town, a fire department has its hands full with any fire, but Nampa firefighters combatted three fires in 1 11 minutes, including a burning grass field, a roof fire ajid a burning automobile.

1>RAIN anemia will get you if you JD don’t watch out. If you are an office worker and find it difficult to get down to work for an hour or so after lunch, you are probably already a victim of this condition ( which science has discovered results in a definite lowering of mental efficiency. At the annual convention of the National Office Management Association, Dr. Donald A. Laird, Di rector of the Psychological Laboratory, Colgate University, described his recent laboratory investigation of early afternoon mental sluggishness, its causes, results, and means «f preventing it. Eight young men accustomed to mental work were used as subjects in the series of experiments extending over a period of 24 days. “Our experiment& showed conclusively,” Dr Laird said, “that brain, or-cerebral anemia, caused by ..the digestive organ’s . drawing the blood away from the brain, is the cause of the sluggish mental condition which afflicts many office workers after the noon lunch period, and that, this condition results in a definite impairment of the speed and accuracy with which their minds work,” The eight subjects ate their noon meals in the laboratory On half of the days, scattered irregularly throughout the 24-day period, they Were served a fairly heavy meal. On the other days they were given ft light dairy lunch consisting of ft ready-tc-sai cereal such as com .a;i|k;_aad..a light.des-

serf The Ugh* meals,' according to Dr Laird, left the blood supply relatively unshifted, allowing the brain to remain “in the pink of condition." The heavier meals, on the other hand, resulted in a definitely insufficient supply of blood in the brain, due to the demands of the digestive organs. “After the light lunch.” Dr Laird said, “the subjects’ minds worked with approximately 6 per cent more speed and 25 per cent more accuracy than after the heavier meals.* The difference In the ability of the subjects to concentrate — to keep their attention from fluctuating—was even more marked There were nearly 70 per cent fewer lapses in attention after the light,' dairy lunch than after the heavier one There is no doubt that the adverse effect of heavy eating upon mental activity is great enough to impair the mental efficiency of the eater to an appreciable degree.” Tests of the subjects’ mental efficiency were conducted in the laboratory each day. immediately following the noon meal. The tests.' involving the'use of micb formidable sounding scientnic devices as a marietta chronoscope, cattell &nd a tachistoscope, enabled Dr. Laird to compile accurate records of the subjects’ speed of .thought association, their lapses of attention, their speed and accuracy in mental calculations, and their clear-headedness as indicated by t-eir ability to remember asso* crated names, and street addresee* 1 27JLa period .of hall m

Suggestible Children are highly suggestible They absorb nearly everything tha goes on or that is said. To som extent therefore every adult is in fluential in the form ing of a child’s hab its and attitudes. Can you imagim the child in this sit nation, which I ac tually witnessed! The teacher wai having* the clasi name the different fruits, eacl pupil answering according to hii preference. One little fellow said sincerely enough “prunes.” Tc which the teacher replied “Oh, you’re a prune.” It was just om of those times when a person sees a chance to be funny or smart Though she said it with a smile, 1 could see that it hurt the boy. He tried to grin, but his face betrayed the real emotion caused by the raucous laughter of the class. He had given his best, an honest answer. He meant it, so what was so funny? Why do we do such things without thinking of the child’s fine, sensitive nature? What did that mean to a child in front of his own playmates? Can’t you hear him labelled “prune” after school and perhaps for years afterward? If he ever eats another prune, the humiliation of that moment will return for a long time to some. Though the emotional effect is !ess serious, the influence upon choice of food is just as great when m adult, says, often with a wry face, “Oh, I don’t like milk. It upsets me,” or “I don’t like the taste >f milk.” To the child, something jueer about milk is suggested. He’s sot sure what it is, but when a grownup says it, there surely is something wrong. Right there in i thoughtless moment we tear town months or years of careful eaching and persuasion. If we lave to refuse milk, let’s say “milk s good, but I don’t care for any right*now.” Remember! Little ears lear a lot to wonder about. Does the school always equip he child well for adult life? Dr. Ireland discusses this in his next
