Children have been back in school only a few days. The routine of enrollment in new classes is over. New teachers and new work confront them on Ute opening of the new term. They have picked up the task of getting an education where they left it last June. What is an education? The parent, looking back on Ids own school days and glancing at the array of new text books at the opening of the school year, is inclined to wonder. How much he learned has been of no practical use to him. How much, on the other hand, gathered out of school during those impressionable years has been of great benefit "If I had only known wlipt 1 was going to do," be is inclined to say, ‘how much better I might have equipped myself for it.” But certain things do not depart. The ability to study, once acquired, is not quickly lost. Specific knowledge goes if it is not used more or less constantly, but the power to dig ' into a subject, to gather its essentials j and apply them practically, need never | go it the student will keep his brain processes in good working order by practice. Part of what every child lehras is this ability to study, to make his memory work for him. to put bis brain into harness. Another part is a broad survey of the world as it is. some of its sciences, a little of its historical and literary traditions. He learns that he is a social being, that he is the heir to a vast heritage of thought, and that life is not simply a span of three score years and ten but a continuity of mental lives. Plato, Shakespeare, Goethe -these are but stepping stones by which the thought of mankind iias crossed and is still crossing to what unknown heights. Educaton might be more direct and more efficient if each pupil knew in advance just what ho was going to do, to what station in life he was to be called. But part of the adventure of our American life is that no one knows this. The boy whose pants are patched at the knee may he president of the republic a few decades from now. Vocational guidance is bound to have its limitations. But every boy and girl knows one destiny which awaits him: He is going to bo t citizen in a free land. H" is gong to have to learn to live and wprk and play with his fellows. He is going to be a part in a great social mechanism designed to carry humanity farther ahead on its path. And so, perhaps, the best thing he learns at school is how to get along with his fellows, how to cooperate with them, how to make the puny individual effort mighty by combining it with numberless other puny efforts. That is what America is\iving to the world: a lesson in its great public schools of th- essential soidarity of human existence. E. B. Williamson, who managed the Northern Indiana Fair this year and who has had many years experience in that line as well as in the organ ization of agricultural associations of one kind and another is being urg cd by many to form such a company here so that a great couny fair cat be given each year.

If it is done, action must be taken during the next thirty days, it is said. • The serious illness of Senator Samuel M. Ralston is deeply aud sincere- ■ ly regretted by thousands of friends and admirers over the state aud ua--1 tiou. A man of great ability, rugged honesty, good personality, earnest con- . victions and a fighter always for the , people, his services are needed badly . at this time. For months he has been [ fighting against a chronic ease of ■ Brght's disease and until a few days ! ago it was hoped he would be able to , combat the illness. Recently he became bedfast and his condition is I uow icported to be very serious. I A traveling ma’t retiring at Hammond the other night, placed all his . I clothing, his glasses and his false i teeth in his grip and carefully locked 1 the door to his hotel room. Next I morning the baggage was gone ami the poor fellow was forced to remain in bed two days while the tailor, the dentist and the occulist fitted him. That's what we call doggone hard luck. The democratc state committee will meet next month for a discussion of plans of organization for next year's | campaign. The republican press has I made a great effort to establish the fact that the old party of Jefferson i aud Jackson is down and badly out, ' but the propaganda has only made the leaders grit their teeth and decide to show them. And we need a little of that. Over a hundred students enrolled for the Community Standard Training school here the first night and many more have already declared intentions to join next Monday night. The courses are all very interesting and much benefit is sure to result. The number of rural patrons to the school, about forty, is most encouraging and indications are that the term will be the best ever held here. The state tax rate wll be twentyeight cents it was indicated by mem--1 bers of the tax board yesterday.

'easing the burden OF STATE TAXATION Banker Points Out Benefits of Community Property System in Some States. Favorable wpeetz of tax zy»f<w are now among the moot highly prlzud assets cf our states, it Is pointed out In the American Bankers Association Journal In connection with an article on bow Gallfomla, which has never had a state tocoms tax. cuts state md Federal death taxea »a»r)y to half i by the “community property" system. I* 11. Roseberry, Vice President Security Trust and Savings Bank. U>s Angeles, author of the article, says that a recent amendment to the tax law enables future residents at th" state to take advantage of it. Reference is made to a former article by Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Dewey, voicing the need for death tax reform and citing a hypothetical case involving CaJlfornta Inheritance taxes which might have been levied in 1921). Since that time the laws have been changed. Mr. Roseberry declares, so that the figures then given do not correctly represent the present situation. He says: “Ever since its admission California has had the 'community property’ system. Eight other states have i prim liar system. ‘Community proper ty' Is property accumulated by mar- : vied persons during their marriage, . except that which is acquired by gift. I bequest or Inheritance. Approximately 65 per cent of al! property In tho state is 'community property.’ Such property tn California enjoys the most favorable position In regard to death I taxes, both state and Federal, of anv ' state tn the Union (excepting pnssl hly the eight other states having a similar property system) Including states boasting of no Inheritance tax whatever. Thn California ’communl ty property' system Is recognized for the purpose of levying Federal estate taxes, and only one-half of it Is now so taxed, while in Florida the whole estate of a decedent is subject ths Federal levy. How the Law Works ’•California’s law expressly provides that npon the death of either husband or wife, testate, only one-half of tlfelr net ’community property’ shall be subject to Inheritance taxes. The same exemption applies upon the death of the husband, intestate, while ! the whole net ‘community propertv' Is totally exempt from all state inheritance taxation upon the death o? the wife Intestate. The Federal estate tax law now follows precisely the California law In this respect. “As the result of an amendment - made to the California inheritance tax law by the 1925 legislature, this Immunity from state inheritance taxes likewise now extends to ’community property’ of non-resident mar ried persons, who hereafter take up their legal residence In the state. This puts 'community property’ In a more favorable position regarding death taxes than exists in any o’her ! state In the Union, wjth the possible exception of thn othqr community property states. This extension of the exemption will add 1* per cent tn property in the state coming under this dcfinlton. which means that ap proximately 80 per cent of all property probated In California will enjoy ■ the lightest death taxes in America. | “To illustrate, the following exam pie of a man survived by a wife and ■ two minor children is computed, tho | (State consisting of 'community prop erty’ all left by will to the wife and children. One-half of such property would go under th« law to the wife without any death taxes, and thother halt only would bn subject to both B‘ate inheritance and Federal estate taxes. “As a subject of comparison, taka a state which haa no inheritance tar. ■ such as Florida. If the comparison were made with the states which impose inheritance taxes but do not have the ‘community property’ system, the advantage In favor of California would even be more striking.

The average layman knows little about lubricating quality — only a chemist can determine that You arc forced to accept the word of the manufac turer for you cannot tell by looking at an oil whether it is good or bad. In that respect Polarine has a tremendous advantage, for it is manufactured by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). The integ rity of the Company is back of every drop. Motorists, generally, have come to recognize this eloquent argument for Polarine. Our sales sheets support this statement The main difference for the variation in qual ity in oils is in their ancestry. Polarine is made from crudes, specially selected for their particular lubricating quality. Such crudes— and only such crudes—are used in the manufacture of Polarine. To maintain the Polarine quality is a precept of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) organization. You may depend upon it! X Buy Polarine with the complete assurance that it will thoroughly lubricate the remotest frictional surfaces of your engine—that it will conserve all the-power your engine can develop -that it will reduce your operating cost to a minimum. x Change every 500 miles, thoroughly cleanse your motor with Polarine Flushing Oil, and refill with fresh Polarine. This will effect still greater economy and efficiency. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) DECATUR, INDIANA
