BRITISH PREMIER REBUKES SENATE FOR INTERFERING

London, March 31.—The United States was handled without gloves by Premier Lloyd George and Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster unionist leader, in the debate today in the house of commons on the second reading of the Irish bill. The premier said that it was action such as that taken by the United States senate in adopting the Irish resolution that had fostered cessesion. “De Valeria is putting forth the same views in the same words that Jefferson Davis used,” the premier declared and added that such. a movement had led to civil war. “We are doing nothing more than the United States claimed for themselves,” he continued, “and will stand no less.” Sir Edward Carson m opening the debate, said that he believed that the Irish murders were committed “not by countrymen but by ill-conditioned Americans, misled by Sinn Fein propaganda which, he exclaimed pointing to the government, “you are doing nothing to counteract” *

To the masculine mind, the annual upheaval of housedeaning has a certain inexplicable quality. It comes and goes like the seasons and the tides fixed and arbitrary periods. The average man can not see any particular need for it when it comes, nor any particular improvement when it is completed. The old fashioned housewife long ago grasped the principle mat cleanliness is an essential to good health. She was really the pioneer in the development of modern sanitation. Long before germs and microbes were thought about, her instinct for spotlessness impelled her to the annual scrimmage with broom and mop and duster. The shining sweetness of the old fashioned home must have had something to do with the rugged soundness of the older generation, offsetting to some extent Hie lack of scientific knowledge about disease.

OLD SOLDIERS GIVEN EXEMPTION

NEW LAW GIVES OLD SOLDIERS AND WIDOWS TAX EXEMPTION OF SI,OBO. Under a new law which will affect the 1920 tax valuation as assessed to bid soldiers of the Mexican and war of the rebellion and their aged widows, the soldiers will be given an exemption of SI,OOO from their property assessments. This new law will be effective on the taxes that the soldiers will have to pay in 1921, for their taxes of 1920. The exemption will mean a great deal to a great many of the veteran soldiers. The exemption will also apply to property assessments against the widows of old soldiers who may ibe. 66 years of age and over. • In order to take advantage of this SI,OOO exemption in their assessment valuations, it will be necessary for all applicants for this exemption to snow their discharge papers or other soldiers’ certificates to the county auditor, for the purpose of record in the county auditor’s office. Old soldiers should lose no time in making this record with the county auditor because of the fact that the assessments which are now being levied by the tax assessors for 1920 will be the taxes that will be effective by this new law.

STATE HIGHWAY TO GO NORTH

OPPOSITION PLAY TRUMP CARD BUT WE HOLD THE JOKER. A number of influential citizens of Lake county had filed a .petition with Governor 'Goodrich asking that the proposed state . highway he changed and run west from here to Mt. Ayr and from that point to Crown Point. The petition .was filed upon the letter head of Banker Brown of Crown Point and containing among others the signature of the commissioners of Lake county. ' • _ Our senator, Will Brown, _ of Hebron, who had been watching this matter, learned of the petition and called a number of the friends of the proposition to run the highway directly north from here to Indianapolis to take the matter up with Governor Goodrich and the commission. _ _ . The call from here was responded to by Representative W. L. Wood, Attorneys E. P. Honan and Cope J. Hanley and Editor F. E. Babcock. These men with othete appeared before the governor Wednesday and with the assistance of Senator Will Brown and Representative Fifield, succeeded in having the route north from here designated and all proper records and orders in relation thereto signed and sealed. This is a matter of the most vital interest to the people of this county. Representative Wood and others have done a great deal of work that the road might be established. They have been to a considerable expense and this should the shared by the people of the county. Splendid as has been their work, the one person to whom Jasper county owes the most and the one who did more than any one else that the road might be designated to run north fr6*ftthis city, was Senator Wiil Brown, of Hebron. But for his vigilence and his tireless effort Senator Grant and others of Lake county would have persuaded the governor and the commission to have established the road running west instead of north from here. Back of the whole proposition is the just and undisputable fact that the route from this city north is the one that should be designated. It is a strictly Indiana route and does not border within a few miles of the Illinois 'line. It is more direct and will serve a large agricultural region. Thousands of dollars worth of vegetables and other farm produce which Jasper county will he able to offer to the people of Gary, Chicago and the other large Lake Cities is in itself 4 sufficient reason for selecting the route north from here.

SPRING IS RESPONSIBLE

for this Poet Low-Rate stuff under cover from a very dear friend. If I have to read it —so do you. Little girl, you look so small, don’t you wear no clothes at all? Don’t you wear no shimmy-shirt, don’t you wear no petty skirt. Just your corsets and your hose, are those all your underclothes? Little girl what is the cause, all your olothes are made of gauze? Don’t you wear no undervest when you go out fully dressed? With your skirts cut rather high, won’t you catch a cold and die? Little girl your spenders show when the sunlight plays on you. We can see your tinted flesh thru your little gown of mesh. Li title girl; T tell you those ain’t so nice as under clothes. Little girl, now listen here, you would be just twice as dear, if you’d cover up your charms, neck, back, legs and (both your arms. We would take you to the shows if you’d wear some underclothes. Little girl, your mystery, luring charm and modesty, is what makes us fellows keen to possess a little Queen. But no lover —goodnes knows —wants a girl sans underclothes. Let us respectfully call your attention to the fact that. Mr. Leslie Clark purchased our last Hudson Super Six and that the two Welsh brothers, Ben and Lewis, got our last Franklin. We can only get a few. more of these makes and to avoid disappointment you should ask for reservation. _ THOMPSON KIRK.
