This pear we will observe the 1 centennial of both city and county.: Won't you and don't you want to | help do it? Renewals of mail subscriptions are coming in rapidly and our annual job of getting every one to pay this little account is farther along at this time of the month than in several years. We are hoping that within another fortnight we can conclude the effort Please come iu as soon as you can Those who have never registered must of course do ao if tjtey expect Io vote in the primaries or general election this year. To do so, they may call at the county! clerks office and 1111 out the traces>>ary blanks and the sooner they I’ do so, the better it will be for there.

No city in the country is iu a better position than this one, which will this year celebrate its one hundredth birthday. Politics is warming up these days and the Claypool hotel at Indianapolis is a bee hive ot activity. are getting a good start in the various parts ot the state and within a month the primary campaign will be in full swing every where. While a little slow in getting started here, this is due to the fact that few of the major places are in contest. Joe Louis, coffee colored prize fighter, is so good that he is rapidly lighting himself out of business. By the time he reaches the top next September, he will have everybody available out of the way and it will be difficult to provide him with matches. His defeat of Retzlafi in less than a minute and a half indicated what he can do to most of those who would meet him and the fans will soon tire of paying out good money for such a short entertainment. On the other hand if he lays down, they won’t care to attend, so there you have.it. It's the season of the year when we hear considerable about taxes and how unfair it is. Os course it's just as hard now to rlo as ever in the centuries since taxes have been in vogue, but we still believe that relief from real estate levies was the most necessary thing ax the time it was done. Those who have large incomes have but little complaint to make if they are asked to share the burdens of the state and nation. However it may be changed in the future, we venture the guess, that those who feel it most keenly, will continue to complain and find fault. -o ♦ • Household Scraphook By Roberta Lee ♦ ♦ Flannels Flannels will not irritate the most sensitive skin if they are pressed with a slightly warm iron on the wrong side after they are I thoroughly dry. lodine Stain An iodine stain can be removed' by moistening finely shaved white' soap with cold water, spreading it i over the stain, and allowing it to remain for a few hours.

Yeans ago — previous to 1923 — there was an anuual appropriation for free seeds for congr.ssional distribution through the department of agriculture. But in 1923 tbe government decided to discontinue the disdistribution of thte great quantity of seed since it was only commercial garden seed such as could be brought from any good seed house and did not necessarily represent varieties better than those in com-
