He had been honored * with the highest office in Indiana 1 Masonry and devoted much of his ’ life in promoting the welfare of that organization. He will be missed by , hundreds anti oy the community he < served. ' In order to repair the bridges which were washed out by the recent high waters in Jay county, it was necessary for the county council to issue 1 . , I four notes for $5,000 each, bearing 6% interest. This seems to be an expensive way to do thing,s but in cases of emergency, the best and cheapest way out cannot be considered. Be- > fore the last note is paid, there will be due about SI,OOO in interest on it, making the bridge repair in Jay county quite costly. Right when the attention of the , country is centered on aviation and ' the feat of Col. Lindbergh, the an- , nouncement is made from Linn Grove, , that an airplane factory will be start- < ed there. L. L. Dunbar, well-known citizen and manufacturer will head the new company and the intention is to build a modern new factory at Linn Grove and manufacture aircraft and flying equipment exclusively. The production of airplanes and monoplanes will be under the supervision of Otto Smith, Adams county boy, who has made a success of flying and the people of Adams county wish the new airplane manufacturers every success in the world. May the company grow and prosper and take its place at the head in this interesting line of industry. Evidently the people of this community care little if the Fort WayneDecatur traction line is abandoned. Yesterday at a formal hearing on the interurban company's petition to abandon the line, not a single objection was made to the suggestion and outside of official representation by the city, no one paid any attention to it. The interurban line has been a great convenience within past years, but within the last decade automobiles and trucks have taken much of the patronage and the owners have suffered a loss for several years. Mr. Feustel, attorney for the traction company showed in his argument that it was costing the owners $1,500 a year to operate the company and that in their opinion they did not see any means of increasing* the revenue or reducing operating expenses. The in-

I terurban line Is just a little over J '* 1 ' twenty years old and when it was built it served as a connecting link between this city and Fort Wayne] und in the process of time and present day travel, gave way to the automobiles. It is proposed to abandon the line, tear up the tracks and eventually destroy any evidence, of ever having an interurban line running to this city. The company wishes to maintain the rightaway for a power line and the action of the public service commission will definitely decide the future of the line. Will it be missed? A petition signed by more than 1,200 farmers has been filed here asking that the state board of tax commissioners reduce the appraisements on farm lands. The petition asks that a 25% reduction be granted to farm owners. Farm lands have not been appraised in Indiana since 1925 and the last legislature passed a law granting authority to the state tax board to reduce or change assessway of increasing the revenue or which will not be made until next year, and under this provision the petition for a cut in the valuation is filed. Farm lands may be assessed too high and the same thing may be found in other property assessments. The farmer is entitled to all the relief that can be given to him, but if the valuations are cut, the tax rate will have to be raised in the different townships and the financial benefit to him may be small. In every township a certain amount of money must be raised for redeeming road bonds, paying interest and upkeep and operation of the school systems, in addition to the fixed expenses necessary in carrying on the unit of government. These expenses and fixed charges must be paid through taxation and if the valuation is cut, the rate will have to be increased. The matter is an important one and should be given serious thought. The hearing will be held at the court house, Friday June 17. —o + + + ++ + + + ■'■+*♦*«** ♦ BIG FEATURES ♦ ♦ OF RADIO * +♦♦♦♦+++♦♦*♦*♦♦* WEDNESDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES All wave length changes announced by the Federal Radio Commission wi'l go into effect Wednesday at 7 p. m.)

Prevent Hay Fever Now. “Now is the time to start your battle to prevent hay fever rather than in August when the disease is under way” says the bulletin issued today by the Publicity Bureau of the Indiana State Medical Association, ‘“Act now. or since we are speaking of hay fever, we might say, ‘make hay while the sun shines.’ ” “It is generally known that seasonal hay-fever is caused as a rule by Inhaling the pollen of plants which are blooming at the time, but many deta.ls of the process are not fully appreciated”, continues the Bulletin. "It is impossible to get the disease unless the particular pollen to which the patient is susceptible is floating in the air which he breathes. "Hay-fever subject should first find out to what plants he is sensitive. Any physician can make this test for you. provided he is supplied with the dried pollens of the suspected plants, if has extracts of them. It is evident that it is useless and misleading to test a native of Indiana for susceptibility io mugworth or sweet vernal grass which aie known to cause hay-fever beemse these plants do not grow here; there is also no need to test for susceptibility to grasses if the fever is of the tali type. “Having determined what plants are responsible, it might be well to try preventative treatment. This treatment may consist of about fifteen hypodermic injections given by a physician at intervals which he will determin. It is best to begin this process during the month of May if the hay-fever is of the fall type. Treatments of this kind made during the course of the disease (co-seasohal) are often of value, but are not as good as those given before (preseasonal). If the hay-fever is of the spring or summer type, the corresponding injections should be started during the late winter er early spring months. “While a great number of plant l exist that may cause the diesas?, the actual problem of finding the culprit is easier than it may at first appear. The great majority of cases occuring in the spring are due to the grasses, particularly timothy, and since the grasses

are all closely related, treatment with f this one extract usually suffices to f immunize against all grass susceptf. tblities. Likewiea the full type ct the disease is almoat always duo to the ragweeds (common and giant ragweeds) and treatment with a mixed „ extract of these two pollens is usually efficacious. "Immunization Is not always me- , eesst'ul but medical science is making ‘ steady headway along preventive lines. It is said to benefit In one form or another nearly half of the patients who take the teatment, provided they d > not suffer from some nasal disorders which are present throughout the year. The procedure at least is well worth investigation and may allow the pa- , tient to live in comfort that season of the year which is so dreaded by hayfever sufferers.” o — HOSPITAL NOTES Miss Ruth Vizard, of Pleasant Mills, teacher in the city public schools, underwent a major operation at the Adams County Memorial Hospital this morning and is recovering nicely.
