OWNERS REPORT 2000 MORE DOGS THAN LAST YEAR

Receipts Will Increase About $5000 if Ratio Continues, Assessor Believes.

Either there are more dogs in Marion County, or more owners are “playing fair” when listing their possessions for the assessors, James A. Cunningham, Center Township assessor, said today. So far, Mr. Cunningham said, about 2000 more dogs have been reported on the tax assessment lists than at the corresponding time last year. If this ratio continues for the rest of the year, he expects that the dog fund in the township will be about $5000 more than in 1937. An indication that more owners are declaring their pets was seen in the fact that, despite the increase so far, fewer assessment lists have been received this year than in the

same 1937 period. There are less, Mr. | § Cunningham said, because the dep- | §

uty assessors weren't able .to start their work quite as soon this year as they did a year ago. Approximately. 40,000 lists have been received so far, he said. Deadline for them is May 15. Four additional deputies have been placed in the assessor's office to serve taxpayers who must file returns during the noon hour, Mr. Cunningham said. Those who haveh't been at home when the deputy called for the iist can mail it in, or call the assessor's _—affice by phone and tell when they’ll be at home, Mr. Cunningham said. In that event, the deputy will be sent out to pick up. the return.

No Wonder Red-Eared Sunfish Are What We Get! Here's Why

Red-eared sunfish are what Hoosiers finally wind up with if they're not careful when thev set out to catch bluegills, the State Conservation Department said today, with its tongue in its cheek.

Because, in almost the same breath, the Department admitted, it is growing red-ears at Riverside hatchery for the expressed purpose

| of planting them in Indiana waters

where they suspect Hoosiers will be fishing for bluegills. The Department is proud of the fact that red-ears are native and almost exclusively Hoosier. They

| apparently started here and, bhe-

cause they don't do well in running

| water that's going some place else;

they stay in Hoosier still water, close to home. Some Imitation Ones

Other sunfish havé red on their earss They are called pumpkinseed sunfish and are only distant cousins. The real red-ear sports red for the entire margin of both ears. Pump-

| kinseeds have only a little red on

their ears, and bluegills have none at all. Since the Department has been putting them around in different lakes over the state, they have been discovered 1n waters where a few years ago they were supposed not to he. Usually three red-ears will weigh one pound if they get together. Some have been known to weigh

{ 20 ounces by themselves, however.

BUND TROOPER HEAD NAMED SPY SUSPECT

NEW YORK, April 8 (U. P).— One of the seven prisoners held here by the Government in connection

with a German espionage plot was identified today as a group leader of the Ordnungsdienst, the uni"formed storm troopers of the Ger-man-American Bund. He was Wilhelm Boening, one of three witnesses held with four persons charged directly with stealing Army and Navy secrets for a foreign power. | James’ Wheeler-Hill, Bund na-| tional secretary, said Boening resigned from the troopers ‘some | time ago.” However, “Volksecho,”| liberal German newspaper published-| here, said Boening had been deposed only last Saturday.
