Boost your schools, your teachers, the officials anil by boosting we mean, help them by giving co-operation. The task is a very important one and likewise a very difficult one. We want the best schools in the world that our children may have the best opportunities in life. The way to have them is all be reasonable, pull together and to not only talk but do things. Mrs. V. Sheatsley, wife of a Columbus, Ohio, minister, died Mon- . day. Her body was found in the furnace, with the doors closed. The family and some of the officials believe it Was suicide but the public; will scarcely accept that as a solution. The present crime wave in this country, never equalled, had. we j thought provided about every possible mystery, but heres a new one that the ptiblic can watch with the knowledge that truth, after all. is stranger than fiction. Pick up any days and you will be alarmed by the •number of terrible crimes which are being committed. It is good to live' in a peaceful community where' crimes are few land compared to those recorded elsewhere, minor. We may miss the bright lights and the stir of the metropolis but we also dodge the bullets of the assassin and i re free from the worries of the Black Hand societies. Stern sentences in the courts and fewer pardons is the only program which will safely eradicate the crime wave. Have you got a dollar ready for the Red Cross drive next Sumi ty? You know what its all about, you realize tltat this is one charity for which you can be liberal. Ev ry penny is expended to help others when they need it, to prevent sufering or rather to ease the suffering in time of adversity following fires, earthquakes, cyclones, floods or other calamities. The* drive in tris city will be made Sunday. Won't you join and won't you have the other members of the family join? The dues are only one dollar a year. Ils worth that to wear the button. Millions of hearts in America will beat slower todav because depress cd *t by the news of the death of k rs. Florence Kling Harding, wife of the late president and for throe years first lady of the land. Death followed a several weeks illness at the Sawyer sanitarium at Marion, Ohio, where everything possible to restore her to health was done. Mrs. Harding w.t; 'a splendid type of woman and lier energies for many years hid been expended in doing her full sir; re to assist her brilliant husband. She wa widely beloved and admired and the mourning for this great woman will be sincere and universal. I Congress can reduce taxes all over the laud if they will prohibit the issuance of tax exempt bonds for a lew years. A short time ago a man tiled in the east, leaving an estate

of titty million dollars. He had not paid any Income tax since 1916 band legally, because every penny excepting his home was invested in tax exempt bonds, netting 4H%. He I saved $850,000 but his government J lost It and the rest of us paid It and >| this is only one example. If half the I valuation is exempt, it doubles the ’ taxes for the rest of us, doesn't it? The present congress will not give ‘us the legislation for this I, but we ought to have one that would 1 and if we knew just what was best I for every one, we would. I There is enough telephone wire In, the United States to make a net that , would hold the earth like an egg in' |an egg cup. Besides putting one' span around the equator, this net would consist of 6.584 strands joined at the south pole and spreading gradually until they were slightly less| than four miles apart at the equator/ Ten American states have, between them, more telephones than all foreign countries combined. These ten states are New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Massachusetts, Ohio, Indiana. Michigan. lowa. Missouri and California. During the last ten years the number of telephones in service in the United States has increased by 5,827,000. This increase ulone is more than five times the total number of telephones, now in use in the whole of Great Britain.—Hoosier Utilities. Members of the local Knights of Pythias lodge honored Dore B. Erwin 1 of this city, Grand Chancellor of the slate and other officers of the grand lodge at a reception given lit the Pythian home last evening. It was a wonderful meeting in which the ties of friendship and love, the brotherhood of man, were drawn closer. It is indeed a signal honor to be the chosen and elected leader of an organization composed of nearly one hundred thousand members and the | hundreds of friends of Mr. Erwin are I proud indeed of his achievement. That he is more than making good is recognized by the splendid reports received from over the state. His address last evening was one of the most sincere and earnest appeals for a fellowship as perfect as that of | Damon and Pythias, ever heard here.

May Curb Publicity Os Income Tax Returns By Paul R Mallon < United Press Stuff Correspondent) viusniugton, Nov. 21. — A partial poll of congress indicates there may he no more publicity of income tax returns. I The reaction from the recent pub- I lication by newspapers of tax totals ■ is swinging strong sentiment in both houses and it now appears inevitable that some modification of the new law will be made at the December short session. A number of democrats and republicans who voted for tax publicity are changing their minds along with Seifator Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, a democratic leader, wiio' renounces the new law for which he voted. But the swing of sentiment has made no change in the position of the La Follette group which favored the act. Senator George Norris, Nebraska, acting leader of the midwestern “progressives” announced today that he would fight for even more complete publicity it an attempt was made to tamper with the present law. Chairman Smoot, chairman of the senate finance committee, is preparing an amendment which will be introduced as soon as congress reconvenes, wiping out the entire publicity provision. o Pullman Company Adds 1,000 Men To Payroll (United Presse Service) Michigan City, Ind..
