The women of the com-1 munity are invited to attend. Arthur Brisbane opin. s that running a town is only a higher form ■ ot good housekeeping. Mr. Brisbane is right. A town is a larger unit than an individual home, but most of the duties of management relate to home-life and the provid , ing of more conveniences and com- j forts for those who live within its borders. At least that is the correct light to place on the job of; town management — serving the i public. President Roosevelt di d uol for a short vacation in Florida. Hi personally directed relief - ork in the flooded districts of the country and appropriated $43,000,000 to aid stricken communities. An honor ary degree of Doctor of Lit> nature was conferred on him by Rollins college and before taking to his, yatch, he delivered an address de-I voted to current legislative ac-' complishments. Steps have already been taken towards the remodeling and enlarg-! ing of the Zion Lutheran church ' building in this city. \Ve hope the congregation finds it possible to proceed with their plans and it no doubt will. Approval of architect’s drawings and specific ations will be made in the near future and actual j construction work will begin at i oiu e. the desire of the congregation 1 being to have the larger and morel convenient House of Worship com-1 pleted by next August. Dedication! ot the edifice will be tin event of i Centennial week, if present plans are carried out. Papa Dionne has written King Edward VIII to cancel the crown s guarianship of the famous quintuplets and to permit his wife to! take the children back to their own home. We doubt the wisdom of the father’s request. True, his wife may desire to coddle the beautiful and healty little tots, but our understanding of the case is I that the parents are not unjustly deprived of these pleasures through their visits to the hospital. Please Give Old and New Address When ordering your paper changed, please give your old and new address. Our mailing list is compiled according to rural route, town or city and it is necessary that the old address be given in making transfers from one route to another. For example; If you change your paper from Decatur rural route one to Decatur rural route three, please state that you want the paper changed from route one to route three.

The quints are given the best of ii-- and being wards of the crown loi Englund is not a bad role for anyone to be in. The parents should view their case in a broader sense and tn the interest of the most famous girls in the world. REDUCTION TAX IN INDIANA So much is suid and written ' about taxes that one is inclined to believe that payments are twice as much as they were a few years .i. o. But such is not the ease, as I the report of Clarence Jackson, director of the state gross income I division proves. In 1935, Indiana j taxpayers paid $26,000.00# less than they did in 1932, when with the exception of the gasoline tax. all tax money was raised from property levies. Mr. Jackson’s financial report shows the following: Property taxes m Indiana in , 19.35. plus revenue from the three I new replacement taxes created by I ihe 1933 legislature, were approxi--1 mutely >26.000,000 less than propI erty tax levies alone in 1932. Tin total in 1935 was $31,500,000 ' less than in 1931 and $3*>.300.01»0 ' less than in 1930, the tabulation j shewed. Property taxes levied for colletpion in 11'35 amounted to $91,514. I "15. while the three replacefiient ' I taxes —the gtoss income, intangibles and liquor taxes —accounted or the collection of $22,617,354.! most of which was either retained' by or sent back to local schools; and governmental units to replace .< portion of the amount they form-1 erly had received from property i As against this total ot $114,131-j , :-99.7> for 1935. property taxes lev- ; ied for collection in 1932 were 5140."9l 3M’>. in 1931 were $115.j631‘,452 and in 1930 were $150,470,-1 Everyone may ifot agree with i ' >iu state s tax laws, but it must j be agreed that Hoosier s are pay 1 ling lass tax now than they did, three years ago. It s a record enjoyed by few states in the Union and one reason why it is danger ous to tamper with present laws, i in the hope of lowering the tax 1 load. 0 Answers To Test Questions I Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two ♦ ♦ 1 \ material representation of fill: sized complete physical model -iiowing the general appearance of a proposed folder pamphlet, or other piece ot printing2.
