If you are contemplating going , Into the kidnaping business ft • might he well to remind you that this Is about the poorest time you 1 could choose to engage In such i i banditry. The public is aroused to 1 such a stage that justice Is being ; meted out within a few days after 1 Hie culprits are captured. i . If the legislators really want to do something worth while they will j agree to a reduction of twenty-five or thirty million of the appropriation and send half the gas tax back to the counties, its our guess the governor will call a two weeks session that will permit them to do these things and come home. If they are going to make a lot of hot-air speeches and play horse we are better off without the session. You know after all if we could I wipe out all taxes and pay it all through sales we would probably be better satisfied and every body would wonder why we did it the difficult way so many years. We; pay four cents a gallon—the stiffut wi know of— on gaaoline ( and don't seem to mind it a bit. If you had to pay that much in a | lump sum you would be mad as hornets, wouldn't you?

Because of Lauder’s prominence, all the attendant’ had given him superb service. Finally, he was ready to leave.

RADIO TO AID U.S. RANGERS IN FOREST FIRES Small Transmitters In Lookout Towers Being Installed MisMHiia. Mont.. ■ (U.R) ~ Next 'summer. when Uncle Sam's rangers mount guard over the gerat timberlands of the Northwest, communications will bo facilitated by the , ruse of small radio transmitters. In much of the national forest reserves "of Eastern Washington. i Northern Idaho, and Western Montana telephone, and telegraph facilities are limited, while roads are few and settlements fewer. lasnt year, when great conflagrations leveled thousands of acres 'of choice timber, the forest service was reinforced by airplane scouts and air transporation of men and materials. Since, additional landing fields have been cleared and transportation of fire-.ighting iquipment to some remote and nearly inaccessible districts has been reduced from a matter of days by mule train to a matter of hours. Central fire lookout stations will >e equipped with small, powerful ; radio transmitters, which will bring communications to areas heretofore unjerved by forest service telephone. ForestryfOf.icials loos forward to a less azardons season this coming summer than were the summers of 1930-31, when the forests were extremely susceptible to fire because of unprecedented dryness. * RADIO PROGRAM * I Tuesday's 5 Best Radio Features Copyright 1932 by VP.

Fcounty agents COLUMN A lot of advertising has been ■ spread over Indiana in an effort j to promote the sale of la’spedeza awd. Lespedeza is one of the newer legumes. Observations during the past six or seven yea-.-i seem to warrant the following statement regarding this crop in Indiana, states County Agent L.E. Archbold.

Most Ix-spedeza seed lias some dodder in it. It is re- ommende<l; that only certified Indiana Les podeza seed be used. It is free of: dodder. Dodder in the seed is| I hard to detect and once it is j established, it L very diffituit to ■ kill out. While Korean Lespedeza will! i reseed itself as far north as th" . 1 Michigan line, it is killed at the j f;rst heavy frost. It will grow on thin sonr soil where clovers do not do well init will not compote with clovers, alfalfa or sweet clovers where the conditions are right

for the larger legnmes. la-sjicdiza is not dependable as| a b:>v crop. The usual growth is not tall enough to justify cutting for hay Under very favorabbconditions and on fertile soil. ■ Korean lespedeza may get 15 to IS indies tall and make as minii as two tons of hay per acre, but : five to eight inches is the usual’ height h.
