The shirt waist is all right for business wear but when it comes to wearing it to dances, nav, nay.

Thirty four farmers of Jay county have expressed their intention of trying to exempt a portion of their lan 1 from taxation under the provisions of the new forestry law. They declare that parts of their farms are original forest lands and therefore exempt from taxation except at $1 per acre.

It is stated by grain inspectors that the coming crop will becloselv guarded this year by big grain dealers, and that smaller dealers in order to protect themselves would be obliged to grade accordingly. Three grains of rye in a handful of wheat would be equivalent to a loss of three cents on the bushel. This being true, it would pay the farmers to go through their crop's and rid them of the rye.
