Three bandits, Charles Makley, j Russell Clark and Harry Pierpont, | who escaped from the Michigan i City prison and who later aided in 1 the release of John Dillinger from | the Lima, Ohio, jail, have been ! taken there for trial on charges of i murder. Two others. Harry CopeLaid and Edward Shouse will join i < JL day ur <wo Nuw wu s ' la ' l see how much nerve they really l have. It's different when they are ' on the spot. The Central Sugar Company will continue to operate the local sugar factory, it is announced and that's j great news tor every one tn this I locality. They have demonstrated . their desire to treat every one in the finest manner. They are bus-. iness men of the kind that warrant 1 and merit confidence and the big' mill will continue to provide a real; market for beets for farmers in this territory. Au annonymous letter accuses J ns of instigating higher taxes in : this county, an allegation which j we certainly and earnestly deny. ,Vc are in favor of the very lowest tax rate that will permit the government to conduct its business, we ' believe in strict economy, but we ' also believe that we must pay our j honest obligations. That and noth-, iug more has been our stand and : will continue. Several complaints have come in ’ that some of the f.'WA crews on ' ditch work are not complying with ■ the desires ;yi(l requests of the laud owaere, cutting trees along j lie banks and otherwise interfering with the appearance and the protection of same. We are sure this is a misunderstanding and that any such complaints filed with Harry Thompson, the county manager. or Ralph Roop, the county engineer, will have immediate attention. The cleaning of the ditches is of course of value to the farm ami that is duly appreciated but it is so easy to do this and at the same time, protect trees aud shrubbery to the satisfaction of the laud owner. Let's all cooperate in this big undertaking, designed "to vide work for the unemployed and at the same time perform actual service* to the citizens of the various communities. Being courteous aud showing a desire to actually help, is always worth while. ————o— Get the Habit — Trade at Home
