We congratulate the Kirkland high school Kangaroos and wish them success in the regional tournament. What's became of the Old Home Week club members? Don't you want to help give the event? After a fellow In Chicago was convicted of kilting his three-year-old daughter, the judge described him as "a splendid man.” Why not call him a reformer? For a five-dollar bill you can become a member of the Old Home Week club and help advertise Decatur, entertain your friends and former residents next fall. Why don’t you join and help do it? Well boys the sectional tournament is over. This week comes the regional meet, and the Catholic high school tournament, the state tournament a week later and then good-bye to basketball until next winter. It's been a great season, some were disappointed of course with their showing, but every team can’t win, sq hatsoff to the victors. Many of the teams from the larger cities were eliminated in the sectional basketball events Saturday by teams front smaller towns. In Indianapolis all the city teams were beaten and Broad Ripple, a suburb walked off with the victory. It just goes to show that the small communities know their stuff and know how to play basketball. A picture of Senator James Watson was printed in the Chicago Tribune Sunday with others, including the Rev. Dr. Shoemaker, under the heading of nationally known reformers. Below Jim's picture it read that he was an at dent dry, but it didn’t say anything about his cigarette smoking or his part in the Indiana election scandals. Watson as a reformer is good. The old-timers or boosters were probably too excited over the basketball tournament to think of tile Old Home Week club over the weekend. The membership is at a standstill and unless someone revives it, the organization will be forced to drop the idea of giving the big week next autumn. • Respectable republicans might get into the race for governor it Governor Jackson would resign. With him and his crowd still in office, it's hard to believe that there will be a clean-up and of course that's what Indiana needs and wants. Do it at the polls, is the best way to express your resentment against the political situation in this state. A Rockford, Illinois man, Henry T. Olson, automobile mechanic, was found guilty on circumstantial evidences of murder lust fall' and sen-' tenced to life imprisonment. His attorney appealed his case and was able to secure his release on bail. Olson and his wife then "skipped" out. Then along came two youths who confessed t 6 the murder, charged to Olson. The word was then sent out for Olson to conn 1 back home and picking up a paper he read that the youths had confessed, so he and Iris

wife got on a train and came home. The question now arises how is the state going to repay to Olson for the injury and suffering caused him. The Kirkland high school Kangaroos coped the sectional basketball tourney * in this city Saturday. To them be- . long the fruits of victory. The Kirkland school has always been known for its interest in athletics and the > fact that the township has one of the ) few community and basketball bulidlugs to be found in such a small unit j is evidence that the residents believe > in supporting the high school boys. * The Kangaroos played fine ball and nothing would please their Adams county friends as much as to see them win at the regional meet at Fort Wayne next Saturday. The first battle will be with the Pierceton high school team and the well wishes of every Adams county fan will accompany them to the regional. They have an opportunity to advertise the good name of Kirkland township and Adams county and with an even break of luck those who know of the strength of the Kangaroos feel that they will put up a real fight to "bring home the bacon.” The Geneva boys made a real fight for the honors and surprised many of the fans by going to the finals. o *«¥«4i¥<r¥***** * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * ”¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ll ——— Monday's Five Best Radio Features WEAF,- hooktip. 8:30 p. m. —General Motors hour; Florence Easton, dramatic sopramo, and orchestra.

The one tree which should not be pared at this time is the maple, Dietz said. “A tendency to bleed profusely, when trimmed in tlie early spring makes it advisable not to trim maples until later," Dietz said. "The iileading itself does no harm to the tree, but the sap wll cling to the limbs aud trunks. Naturally, when warm weather arrives this will develop a fermentation that burns away sections of the bark to which the sap has adhered.” Maples should be trimmed in the

Fall or when the trees are in leaf,” Dietz continued. “In the Fail the sap of course will not ruu aud when the tree is bearing, no sap is permitted to waste.” In response to mauy inquires relative to the trimming of grape vines, Dietz also issue dsome advice. “Grap*; vines are a tenacious plant | and will stand a great deal of careless | pruning.” he said. “I would advise anyone planning to get best results from j their vines to lead books cn pruning. However, some general rules applying to persons interested only iu arbors are very simple. “All weak canes and dead material should lie cut away. The dead material should be cut hack until not more than four of the last years buds remain. Each old bud will bear from three to five bunches. “if the cane is long and stringy, it cannot supply the bunches with for development. It is better to have fewer bunches and larger grapes than a great collection of vines. 0 Hen Lays Twin Eggs A hen in Ulster lays two eggs at a times, sometimes three. The owner ex-, plains this by saying that the’ hen, a last year's pullet, bad sunstroke when a month old Since it has grown up the hen has on four days a week laid two eggs at a time, and has twice laid three. o Already Scalped Bobby had a new Indian suit and was begging to go ask Tom to come play with him.

. - Tips For Taxpayers No, Nineteen With a certain proviso, compensation paid by a State or "politU-al sub- ; division thereof,” such as a county or 1 city, to its officers aud employees is not taxable income. The proviso is | that the wages of such officers and I ' employees must be rendered in connection with the "essential goverumen tai functions of the State or political subdivision" as distinguished from its , proprietary functions. The salaries of the governor of a State, mayor of a city councilman, boaid of aldermen.! public-school teachers aud policemen and firemen are not taxable. But the compensation received by employees i of waterworks owned aud operated ; by a municipality or of a municipally j owned and operated street railway is taxable, for the reason that they arej engaged in the activities of u State ' i which are not govermental. ■ I Fees for special services to a Stat/ ; are taxable, as. for example, compen- j ’ sation paid architects and builders for i planning and erecting a State capltol I I or other State or municipal building j An officer or employee of a State for the purpose of the income tax law, is one whose services are continuous and j not occasional or temporary. o Names on Ancient Books Serving the same purpose as the lettering on the back or front cover of the modern book, the manuscript rolls of early Egypt and Greece had projecting labels of papyrus or vellum, on which the title of the work was written. These labels hung outwards as the rolls lay on the library shelves or stood In the buckets which served as portable bookcases. —Gas Logic. — Frog Raising in Japan Frog raising has become a popular industry in Japan ’since the legs have been in such great demand for food.
