Kentuckian Misses That Park Reunion; Corn King Gets First Wheat Loan

LAST WEEK-END

By JOE COLLIER MAY have been hot

for vou, but for a cer

tain Kentucky gentleman at Crawfordsville it was not only hot but be-

wildering, as well

According to reports, he landed in Crawfordsville to attend a Ken-

tucky claimed he had had a little too much wabble water. He was forthwith lodged in the jailhouse and later in the day was fined $1 and costs. Paid up and on the bricks again, he discovered that the hours in jail had a deleterious effect on his reunion form and he started rounding in shape again. Another patrolman picked him up at 5 p. m. and said the same thing the patrolman said in the morning. This time he had to stay in the jailhouse over Sunday and missed the trving to practice up for. By Monday he was again hopelessly out of form, but the reunion was over and he quit trying.

Everything is, sure enough, all turned around. Democrats draft Republicans! Republicans draft Democrats! And one thing and another. So it should come as no surprise that Peter I. Lux of Shelby County, frequently the national corn king. should have been issued the first wheat loan in the county. nu n n

He gesticulated for emphasis. “Is there another slot in those things,” he asked, “where you can put a nickel in for four minutes of silence?’ The proprietor said there was not and refused to sell him another beer (Homer Capehart, please copy.) ” n ” ALTHOUGH we didn't know it until this very minute, Otto (Dutch) Wehrs, 39, a Marion jack-of-all-trades. 1s another of our favorite people.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY is a little up in the air about the condition of its jail, with more radical citizens claiming it isn't just exactly incommunicado. The rumpus arose when a woman, placed in a third floor cell for safekeeping, escaped. An investigation showed she had taken hold of one of the bars and ripped it out. She weighed only 100 pounds and wasn't any too strong. The investigating committee took hold of another bar and pulled it. The sill in which it was anchored was so rotten the bar came out easily. The sheriff, who witnessed the test, said: (Two paragraphs censored.)

Tax Board Urges Auditors to Ask Nothing for Local estimates.

The first step toward a possible re-assessment of all real property in the State—the first of its kind since 1932—was taken by the State Tax Board today. The Board advised all county auditors and assessors not to include in their forthcoming budgets requests for funds to make their individual assessments. C. R. Benjamin, Board member, said that the State-wide reassessment problem would be nlaced before the Legislature next spring. In case the Legislature orders a reassessment, it also may make provision for paying the cost, Mr.

GLAMOUR COSTS UP IN ENGLAND

Girls to Pay More for Cos-

metics and Lingerie; Movies to Be Higher.

LONDON, July 24 (U. P.).—The supplementary British war budgee mtroduced by Chancellor of the Exchequer Sir Kingsley Wood yesterday will force British girls to pay 25 per cent more than previously for their “glamour.” The new taxes will also require a soldier to spend more than one day's pay to take his sweetheart to the cheapest movie and to quaff a pint of beer each after the show, Within the next two months, | women will pay taxes of three pence on a shilling for cosmetics, dance frocks, shoes, cocktail dresses, chif-| fon blouses, silk stockings, lingerie, fancy gloves, furs, jewelry and other “luxuries.” Are Hats Luxury? | Today they were concerned over whether the Government will de- | clare hats as a luxury or a neces-| sity. If a luxury, they will be forced to pay a tax of three pence (about 5 cents) on the shilling (20 cents)! whereas the tax on necessities! amounts to only 3': pence (a pence, is equal to about 123 cents). Soldiers have found that the war] they are fighting has hiked up costs’ on cigarets, drinks and movies. Cigarets are now one shilling and 4', pence (almost 30 cents) for 20 and it is expected that they will] soon rise two pence more, although! although there is talk in London of selling cigarets to soldiers tax free.

Effect Felt in Kitchen

For a nine pence (15 cents) pint of beer, they will soon pay 10 pence (16 cents) and the usual six pence (11 cents) movie will probably cost eight pence in the near future, Soldiers receive two shillings (40 cents) a dav pay. Housewives will pay one and onehalf to two pence extra per shilling cooking utensils, kitchenware, crockery, bedding, household linen, carpets, curtains, dusters, overalls, aprons, needlework materials and medicines for sick husbands and children. Children’s clothes remain tax free. | FIRE STATION HAZARD NEWBURYPORT, Mass, July 24 (U. P.).—Acting on city council orders, Fire Chief C.
