Increased appropriations all over the country to take care of the needy will increase taxes some this year and *is certainly not a very good sign. Hot and dry but what the dickens can be done about it? The old weatherman is in a stubborn mood and refuses to get out his sprinkling can. In the meantime the conditions are any thing but favorable for corn, garden truck and pasture. Farmers of Indiana are going to organize a strike but they call it a farm holiday. The first meeting will be held at Shelbyville, September Ist and from that date on it is expected there will be plenty doing. If the regular session of the legislature takes another crack at public officials the scramble for office will be lessened considerable. As it is now, the places are not tearly so desirable as they were, tut with reductions all along the line. President Hoover's business parley will convene tomorrow and ihey plan, so it is announced, to ind more jobs and easier credit. That's fine and we hope they dig out the proper formula. Surely they have waited long enough to do something. The boys and girls from the K. of P.

Tough break for all ol them and especially those who 1 are candidates, hut why can't thoy be on the level? j Governor Leslie has proclaimed Momluy, September 6th as Labor , Day, an occasion which this year ) will be more than usually signlfi- ? cant because in the past year ) thousands of men have sought for j work that could not be found. The ) programs in the various cities should be genuine and serious, for there is a grave problem to solve in Indiana us there is elsewhere over this fair land.

The county council will meet next Monday to select three members of the Adams county tax adjustment.committee who with three to be named by Judge Walters and the county auditor will pass upon the levies submitted by the various tax units in this county, as provided in the $1.50 limit law enacted by the legislature. The jobs will he important, for the judgment of : these men will be the determining factor in fixing the total tax rate and in cutting the budgets. It is , the general opinion that because of i the new law, a lower tax rate will he required by the committee. If J ten citizens petition, an appeal to i the s'ate tax board must be taken. The proceedure is now and there will be much interest throughout the proceedings. -— o 4 « Household Scrapbook i » ■- -By- | ROBERTA LEE a 4 How to Make A Water Filter To make a water filter, cut a hole i:t a shelf so that by inverting an ordinary lamp chimney it will pass about half wiy through the hole.
