Your state income tax is payable this month and you should also include all the profit made' from the chain letters. Hearings on the tax-the-rich tax; bill have started Ln Washington.! Not many from Adams county will appear before that committee. A scientists declares that the central portion of the United. States was covered by water five hundred million years ago. Well, who cares.

The Fourth of July toll was de-1 creased this yea". The loss of life. from firecrackers was the smallest' in recent years. The safe and sane movement seems to have made an impression. Rain might prevent parades but it does not dampen the ardor of Legionnaires, evidenced so clearly at the Fourth of July celebration. It was a great event, well planned and executed. More miles were covered by motorists from June of last to July 1 of this year, as indicated by increased gasoline collections. The total for the fiscal year was $19,001.687.21, an increase of $1,008,396.93 over last year. We spend much of our time on wheels. A year soon rolls around. Taxing units are already preparing budgets for 1936 and officials are wondering how to meet all the detpands for improvements and upkeep and at the same time reduce taxes. The answer might be given in asking another question. - “Can such a thing be done in your own home?’’ Congressman Farley is back home for a few days visit in the district. He does not expect con■■’gress to adjourn until late August or September in view of pending legislation. Congressman Farley recently advocated adjournment, believing it would be best for the country to have a vacation from legislative worries. A congressman’s job is not a snap these days.

The writer talked with Perry Faulkner, former state commander of the American Legion, who before moving to -Montpelier, Ohio, was a resident of Shelbyville, Ind. Mr. Faulkner lived in the Indiana city when it celebrated its Centennial anniversary in 1922. A oneday pageant and historical show yas put on. The citizens contributed more than $5,000 towards the Program and home-ecnv.ng and it *as one ot the biggest and happiest events ev% f staged j n Shelby county. !vs tSmc organizations thduk about preliminary plans tor Decatur s celebra-i tion in 1936. — The rain may have spoiled the Legion parade and afternoon

crowd, but it did not prevent one of the biggest tuiu-ouls la history of Decatur at the night fireworks programs. Hundreds of care, more than a person could accurate- '• iy estimate, filled ‘he parking t spaces and roadways near the Country Club. Mrs. Jessie Burdg of this city, said she has been in ) Decatur for the last 35 years and I the Fourth of July crowd was the largest ever seen. Even w-:tb such > a traffic jam, no serious accidents ) occurred, speaking well for the ’ drivers aid the general good huJ mor of the public. I The right of the State Tax Board ' to reduce tax levies should be well established now since the Supreme Court, tor the second time, has upheld this authority. The most recent decision was given in a case originating in Indianapolis. Taxpayers objected to the tax levy established by the city and appealed to the state board. While only 2 cents was involved, this being , the amount of reduction ordered ! by the board, a principle was involved. This was the right of ten ■or more taxpayers to protest against rates they believed too high. Such protests to the officials making the rates are unavailing ■and justice can be obtained only I through a disinterested appellate ' body. After the state board had j made the 2-cer.t reduction the case j was carried to court and, strange ; as it may seem, the Circuit Court denied that ibis power rested in the tax board, despite a previous Supreme Court decision saying that lit did. The latest decision should j establish for all time that the tax board is the safety valve to halt excessive rates. — Newcastle Cour-ier-Times. o

INDIANS STUDY OWN LOST ART Akron. N. Y.-tU.R»- *«* of the Seneca Indian tribe on the Tonawanda Reservation nursed bruised knuckles after a lesson ln chpp ‘ ing flint into arrow and spear points as did their ancestors. Dr. Arthur C. Parker, director of the Municipal -Museum at Rochester. N. Y„ one of the foremost Indian aaitborities in the country, revived for the Senecas the ancient art forgotten for two centuries. Work In Flint Quarry In a flint quarry near Dyers Lake, one jealously guarded by an Iriquois tribe which fashioned Us implements of war and hunting there. Parker gathered his group of Seneca braves. With a bajnmeriug stone, he knocked a rough chunk from the flint ledge and. then flaked off flat pieces. | Expertly struck, the flint split; into etude arrowheads which Parker proceeded to tool with gunding stones and an awl made of deer antler. Deft Touch Lost Then the Senecas tried to follow his example. But they had Inherited no skill at the art. Many a blow at the flint missed to land on knuckles, and the braves were far from deft with the tool-stones. Par-; ker, however, told them that wPh | proper instruction they soon could
