Foreign Representative Carper ter * Company. 123 Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth have named their baby daughter Pauliua, probably anticipating a place in the pictures by then for “Poor Paulina" of cliff fame, will probably be out of the running. Mrs. Longworth was formerly Miss Alice Roosevelt. Good roads are now the most im-l portant problem we have and the trouble is that its just getting a good start. For the next ten years or more we will be working to solve it. The millions of automobiles must have a place to operate or you won't need the car. The truck and bus business is growing by leaps and bounds. There's no use to kid ourselves, we must build roads and good ones. There are only ten days of the | month left and we must average fifty renewals a day to complete the job one hundred per cent. That's what we are hoping to do and believe we wII do. We understand that its a little hard this year to meet all the bills but we feel also that you want your home newspaper to continue to give you all the news and to boost for your community. If you haven t taken care of this little matter for you and so important for us, please do it before the first of tile month. We have a new “bone dry" law in Indiana, all but the siguature of the governor. It provides that liquor containing one-half of one per cent is intoxicating, that possession of any amount of liquor is a misdemeanor, heavier punishment for violations of the law and makes Indiana one of, < if not the dryest state in the union. , After all it won't amount to any t thing unless the laws are enforced. There lies the greatest fault in the , present condition and it doesn’t help | to add laws'if none are used. There ( is too much "winking" at one side . and another and too little real desire , to lick <>l<l man Alcohol. , I It is reported from Indianapolis , that the bill regulating the state high- ( way commission has been amended . and has passed the budget commit- ( tee so as to prevent the commission from going ahead with the addition i of the 912 miles which includes the ro id from Huntington to this city ind on east to the stale lino, the idea , being that no more mileage he added , until life 3,209 miles now operated by , the stale is paved. That of course* > is unfair, for in counties like this. , we have been paying a large tax and | ;be money has been used to improve and bifid roads • in other counties. ; The system will not be complete with- ( out this additional 900 miles and most , of the now roads are interstate and ( would receive federal aid. We suggest licit you write T. A. Gottschalk, repri ;cniaiiv> -mil Senator George Sauii'lers and tell them to look alter the interests of this comity. We believe fle-y will any way but it. is better to have them know that you are interested. Farm- rs, in mak'ng out their income lax returns this spring, should m>i overlook the fact that several i lihnges have b< en made in revenue iegislalioii. Among the important ch.iiigo, are a reduction in rates. r<"utl, it ions relating Io deductions for losses, business expenses, etc., «is ti>e- a fieri I'aniieis. and a 35 per cent I

credit on earned income. This latter point is one for special consideration. All net income up to $5,00& shall be considered as “earned income,” and on this amount the taxpayer is entitled to a credit of 25 per cent of the amount of the tax. As an example. a farmer, married and with no dependents, who in 1324 received' from bis farming operations a net income of $2,500 and made from the sale of a portion of his farm lands a profit of SI,OOO, would have a total net income of $3,500. Substracting from litis his personal exemption of $2,500, leaves him a taxable net income of SI,OOO. The tax on this at 2 per cent is S2O, from which he may deduct 25 per cent, cutting the amount of tax he pays to sls. — Indiana Farmer's Guide. A taxpayer recently got some pul) Slicity when he paid his $lB5 for tax and then produced a receipt showing that in 1.8 1(1 his great grandfather had paid s7.*>f» taxes on the same farm. He acted a little as if he had bei ii swindled out of the difference. But going to town to pay his taxes, ho drove a car that cost more than the farm was worth in 1846, and he traveled over a road a mile of which cost more than the entire annual running expenses of the county in 1846. lie drove by a free public school and high school. He bad children in both of them and a son at the State University. None of these schools was in existence in his great grandfather's time He had a daily paper which ilfd been delivered Io his house that morning.' The best, his great grandfather could do was a weekly printed sixty miles away, and for which he drove six miles in summer and rode and sw fei' > ll0l ' 8€! six wiles most of the retthe time.

Dissatisfied with the showing made iy staff officers and not convinced hat. national defense is properly :o-ordinated, some members of the ■ommittee will seek authority of the louse for a continuing inquiry in which the senate may be asked to join. This development followed a preliminary more of the House commit tee in asking Secretaries Weeks and Wilbur to send their personal representatives before it to give in strictest confidence answers to questions rai ••>! during the recent controversy. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Robinson and Rear Admiral Jones, head of the general board, appeared lor the navy and Major General John L. Hines, chief of staff, and his aids, Major F. B. Wilby, appeared for tbe war department. Subjected to a cross-fire of questions by the aroused committee members, they disclosed: 1. That the United States has only one-fifth the number of planes the war department’s war plans call for. 2. That less thau two per cent ol Ihe general stuff officers are air officers although the air service is one of the major arms of defense. 3. That America's insular possessions have virtually none oi the planes tljcorcstically l allo I ted to theii'j defense. Out of 106 pursuit planes which the' army’s war strength requires, there! are only 21 on hand; of the 58 bom ' bardmeut planes and 106 attack planes called for in plans, the army, has 24 aud one respectively. Apart from this statistical show-' Ing of apparent weakness, some committee members claimed to have detected an apparent lack of inter-! est in aircraft in the high command. They commented that they could understand General Mitchell's posi-.

I tiou and declared the testimony of ( | the officers had “thrown a flood light upon the question of general! defense.” ' Receiver Asked For Portland Body Works Portland, Feb. 18.—Suit mi note and for receiver has been filed in the circuit court by the Farmers' and Merchants’ Bank, Bryant, against the Portland Body Works ct al., through Attorneys J.
