We are holding this show for the purpose of creating an interest in good livestock of all kinds and to give the public an opportunity to made by our breeders.

JASPER COUNTY TAX LEVIES

STATE TAX BOARD HAS FIXED LEVIES UNDER NEW ASSESSMENT. IneHangpolißr Irid., Oclfc 8, 1919. v The tax levies for Jasper county, \mrler the new tax law, were completed today by the state board of tax commissioners. The complete list of levies for the county, compared with the levies for last year, is as follows: New Old Levy Levy Barkley J •’<B $3.06 Carpenter • ••• - 55 Gillam 81 2.80 Hanging: Grove •74 2.47 Jordan 81 2.6< Kankakee 1-26 3.24 Keener 1-29 3.63 Marion 82 2.72 Milroy . *2 2.68 Newton 85 2.85 Remington (town) 1.53 3.80 Rensselaer (city) 1.73 4.54 Union !-25 3.46 Walker ■ • -92 2.75 W'heatfield . . •• • 115 *f2 Wheatfield (town) ~ 1.86 3.94 The new levies are inclusive of all taxes, except the state tax rate, which cannot be announced before rrextrweek. —It ftrill be very greatly reduced. The assessments were -made some time ago. With the tax rate announced, each tax payer will now be able to determine the effect of the new tax system in his own case. In counties previously announced, it has been found that the amount of taxes paid by many people, will be less than under the old tax rates, notwithstanding the extraordinary costs of the war period and the extensive public improvements, such as road building and increased cost of schools. The tax commissioners attribute such results to a fuller luting of taxables, to the inclusion of great amounts of intangibles that hitherto evaded assessment successfully, and to a more even and iust distribution of the tax burden.

SOX FANS COME TO LIFE AS TEAM WINS AGAIN.

White Sox fans are showing .signs of coming back to lifei Their chirps which had been rather feeble for several days were much loduer Wednesday evening and they are now boasting about what their team is going to do to the Reds in the coming encounter booked for today in Chicago. Cicotte, horribly mangled in the opening game and again defeated in his second attempt, was shoved at the opposition for the third time n the series Wednesday and pitched jeautifully and was returned a winner by holding the rampant Reds to one run and seven scattered hits. At no time Was he in danger and now the Red stickers have a wholesome respect for his pitching arm. Cicotte ‘has revived the spirit of the Sox followers, who feel that he will be able to again trounce the enemy in the ninth game, if a ninth game is necessary. The series now stands four to three in Cincinnati’s favor. Williams is the pitching selection for Chicago in today’s game and Eller will do the chucking for Morari’s crew.

The department of chapter administration, A. R. C., writes: “The Lake Division would appreciate very much having your yarn knit up.

Ross, Director of Knitting.

NOTICE. All the suits contesting the will of the late Benjamin J. Gifford, are now disposed of, and I am in a position to sell land. I have yet unsold several hundred acres of good land located in Jasper and Lake counties, winch I will sell as executor on reasonable terms, but cannot take any trade. ' Call at my office or at the office of T. M. Callahan, at Rensselaer, Indiana, for ___ GEO. H. GIFFORD, Executor. THOSE SOX are safe at third, but can they get home with the fourth and fifth? 1 •ay they can, but it takes the champion heavyweight optimist of the world to bet his money that way. The man who bets on the Sox and myself are alike in one way. We are both different. If I had money to risk on the series I Would make -the first payment on an* Oldsmobile —the best bet in the world. A long head and a short, tongue make the most hay,—Hugh Kirk.
