Crops that are planted are certainly getting moisture enough but i farming with an umbrella always was a job that the average American couldn't do successfully. The illness of Judge C. L. Walters is deeply regretted by every Adams county citizen, by whom he is held in high regard and eaeh of whom is hoping for his ultimate complete recovery. Real estate values are bound to increase. In the first place, you can buy yet below actual worth and second replacement costs will , probably increase the next year or two. Buying on today's market is ' sure to show a profit. A couple of bank robberies the past fortnight has made people I wonder if we are in for another epidemic similar to that staged by the Dillinger gang Perhaps the only reason we have had fewer holdups of banks is that we have 1 fewer banks. The announcement that Jim Watson wants to be a candidate for the Repitblicun nomination for United States senator created so little interest that it is quite manifest that few believe he or any one else can win in Indiana next year j on that ticket. Parking double is a violation of the traffic laws at any time but when people do it aud lock their I cars, remaining away several hours, thats bad enough to make the police tear their hair. That has occurred a few times and must be changed some way before serious accidents occur. Hartford City is forward looking. A newly organized Boosters Club is planning for special lighting arrangements for next Christmas season. That seems a long ways off but it will be here before i we realize it and of course those who start to get ready now will have the better of those communities that put off until tomorrow the things that should be done today. Os course the bicycle riders have their rights on the highways but that doesn't change the fact that its dangerous. The usual car driv-1 er slows dow-n and goes around: them carefully but sooner or later j they are sure to meet up with some reckless speeder and have ; at least a narrow escape. Looks as though it would take much of the pleasure out of what was once a popular and safe sport. Why did Farley come to Indiana? That's a question that is being asked by many. The answer is simple. He wanted to inspect some of the new postoffice buildings. meet the people of Indiana, boost the proposed court change

• of the President and keep his eye 'on what is recognized as one of tho important aud pivotal states of the Union politically. He had plenty of business here. Eight men who willingly or bei cause they were drawn into lives of crime by bad association, now await death in the electric chair lat Michigan City. Its tough for them and its a heart breaking job for those who must administer the ■ punishment. Os course it's a duty ( but they tell us that the night prior | to the executions, ie one of horror for every one about the warden's office. Most folks wouldn't want i the job. Crime is a terrible thing tor every one. The return of Rev. George Lozier as pastor of the Evangelical I church here for another year is pleasing to the members of his. i church and to our citizens in general. He has proven an excellent ; pastor and has proven his worth : as one of the community who believes in bettering conditions that every one may be happier. We predict for him greater achieve-1 meuts and the loyalty of every > one interested in the growth and success of his church. We have heard numerous regrets from our citizens because Rev. H. R. Carson and family of the Methodist church have been | transferred by the conference. I During their three years here they ; have made many good friends who regret to have them leave but who • join us in wising for them every i possible success and happiness. | To Rev. Graham who comes here from Kendallville, we extend the: hand of welcome, assuring him of every cooperation in his work here. I BETTER STATEOWNED FARMS: I For years the 15.530 acres of land at IS of the state penal and benevolent institutions have been i fariued by managers appointed by the institution heads with the ap-. ' proval of the Governor's office. These farm managers have been 1 accountable only to the institution , superintendents who, in many I cases, have not been familiar with farming. The farm manager, i usually some farmer living near; the institution, has run his farm independently of other state-own-■ ed farms. Since Gov. M. Clifford Townsend i has taken office, a definite improvement in the method of operating - these state farms has been worked out. Thurman A. Gottschalk, supervisor of state institutions, has been a member of the state budget committee for a number of years j and has seen the need for co-ord-ination of institution farming. One of Mr. Gottschalk's first official acts was to name J. D. Hull, a successful Bartholomew county) farmer, as supervisor of the state institution farms. All farm managers will be under Mr. Hull and the best in agricultural business ; practices are being put into use. j Efforts will be made to produce more on the land and to improve j the grade of livestock. At one institutio nattempts to raise tomatoes on muck land have failed, so a product better adapted to that soil—potatoes—will be grown and tomatoes for the inmates produced at some other farm. I Already farm implements not now in use »t one farm have been loaned to another, thus saving the ! cost of buying new machinery. The farm managers are meeting once a month for exchange of ideas aud training in dairy, agronomy, horticulture, poultry, hog raising and other subjects. It is through the foresight of the Governor, a practical farmer himself, and Mr. Gottschalk, whose ! years on the budget committee I have acquainted him with insti- . tutional problems, that this farm i program has been put into effect. ■ The taxpayers of the state will reap ihe benefit of their exper- . iences. ■ ———o !

— Modern Homes Keep Step With Lighting Progress —— - ; fl; ■■ I s IL.»sardii •: 111 (JI i I ; Soft chadowt and emphasizing highlights in thia room are produced by new lamps which provide eya-comfortable lighting and enhance tha decorative scheme.

By Jean Prentice THE home that wants to avoid being “just another house" must keep pace with the new aids that science Is bringing to modern housing to insnre more comfortable living And it is just such aids that the nighttime appearance of your i living room will reflect if it is ! lighted with the new I E. S. lamps. These lamps, made in a wide variety of types by numerous manufacturers. and sold by good stores everywhere, carry tags certifying that they comply with the scientific specifications of the Illuminating Engineering Society They provide soft, diffused light that is kind to the eyes and. at the same time, harmonize with any decorative scheme. Millions of them have been sold, I and millions of eyes are thankful. I Until your home has some of , these lamps, you’ll never know ■what real eyecomfort and decora- ■ -live beauty can be provided by por- ' table lamps. This is not to suggest k i that you buy a number of them at r once, hut that you at least make a ' ' start with them toward putting > I your hotna lighting on ’ scientific • I basis. ! .

ing room Illustrated here. The lamp tfehlnd the davenport, one of the new I. E. S. types, has a 10-fnch plastic bowl concealed behind the shade, and carries one of the new three-light bulbs, from which three different amounts of light may be obtained at successive turns of the switch Note that it is placed behind the divan, where the light reflected upward bathes tha entire room with a soft .glow, while the light sent downward Illuminates the full length of the divan. The end table lamp beside the easy chair is also of tho I. E. S. type, and gives a generous amount of light from one 100-watt bulb. These two lamps form the start of the lighting program in this living room. Later on, a second endtable lamp matching the one now used will be purchased, and the two placed on matching end-tables at both ends of the davenport. The floor lamp will then go over to the rear of the fireside chair. The owners of this home feel that the money spent on their lighting program will do more to keep them In step with modern home progress than a similar amount could possibly do ip addition* to or changes in the furnishings. Don’t XPU agree with them? — —,

'♦ ~*l Social Security Explained Investigation shows that many employers are under the impress- ( ton that unices they employ eight or more individuals that they are not subject to the provisions of the Social Security Act. To correct this taximyers are advised that there are two separate and distinct parts of the taxing provisions of the Social Security Act — the unemployment insurance (title IX) and old age benefits (title VIII). The tax on unemployment insurance docs apply only to employers of eight or more individuals, however, the tax under the old age benefit portion of the act, title VIII, applies to every employer irrespective of the number I of individuals employed. The tax under title VHI became effective January 1, 1937, and attaches to all wages paid for employment on and after that date. Therefore, employers of eight or more are subject to tax under both titles, while employers of less than eight are subject to only the tax imposed under title VIII. Thb tax under title VIII is to be reported monthly on Form SS-1, same being due on or before Cue last day of the month following that for which the return is made. Taxpayers' attention is called to the fact that the return and remittance must be forwarded to the office of Will H. Smith, collector of internal revenue. Indianapolis. There is a penalty for delinquency and taxpayers are urged to mail their returns in time so as to reach that office before the final day. Before mailing their returns, taxpayers are urged to check them very closely to see that they are properly signed and jurated and the check attached. Any return disclosing a tax of more than $lO must be notarized; if less than $lO two persons may witness the employer's signature' The’ notary should see that the notarial seal is affixed and the date of commission expiration given. If the taxpayer is a corporation it should be signed by a duly elected officer of the corporation; if the taxpayer is a partnership it should be signed by a member of the partnership; and if it is individually owned the owner should sign. In each instance, the title, i. e., president, partner, owner, should be given. If it is not convenient for the ones before men tioned to sign, a power of attorney must be filed with the office oY the collector of internal revenue, giving the person power to act in his place. Many taxpayers are inquiring as to "how their employees will obtain > credit for the amount of tax paid. Shortly form SS-2 and SS-2-A will
