loss of their little 4-year-old son. William Edwin, known here as “Buddy,’’ who died Tuesday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Swift were former residents of this place and they have the sympathy or all our people. Three of the happiest lads we have seen in a long time disembarked from the westbound train on the Apology Tuesday morning. They were Henry Cain, Bert Dluzak and Roxie Bartholomew. They had just been discharged from army service and were just a little more than pleased to see old Remington again. They were all members of the same company in the artillery service, had gone away together and had returned together, most remarkable co-incident in the war proceedings. They were overseas but did not see service on the firing line. There were originally four in the buncfa, the other being Chris Iliff, whom they left in the hospital at Newport, Va. Remington surely welcomes these husky lads back home once more.

Henry Mullen, one of the earliest pioneers of this township, died very suddenly at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Milton Bunnell, at Wolcott Wednesday morning. Mr. Mullen had been in his usual health up to the time of his death, and was quite an active man for one of his years. He ate a hearty supper Tuesday evening and retired as well as usual, but when he attempted to dress the next morning he fell dead from heart failure. The deceased came to this town at a very early age. some 60 or more years ago, and for many years worked in the elevator here. A few years ago he went to Wolcott to reside with his daughter and had made his home there ever since. He was one of the liveliest and best matured men of the time and was always ready with jest or joke. His friends were without number. His age was 82 last December. The funeral will be held at Sacred Heart church in Remington this Friday morning at 9:80 o’clock.

The Truth.

“He told his wife their evenings at the club were very quiet and harmless ones, and that sometimes for hours at a time they would just sit around the table and hold hands.” “Just so; he was speaking by the card.”

The Idea.

“Jones is truly a golden-mouthed speaker." “I don’t know that anybody else has noticed it in his speeches." “It’s not his oratory which has made him golden-mouthed; it’s his dentist.”

A Long Record.

“How long have you had your cook?” asked the abrupt woman. “More than two years,” replied the patient hostess. “My! One of you must be easy to please.”

Help!

He (the bold thing) —I suppose if I tried to kiss you you would shriek for help. She (the saucy thing)—No George; it would be of no use. All our help left last week.

Rare Versatility.

“Is your husband a versatile man?” “Wonderfully so. He is just as handy with a snow shovel or an ash sifter as he is with golf clubs or a tennis racket.”

Explained.

“Are ■. you drinking to drown your sorrows?” “Not yet. I never have any to drown till I’ve been drinking for a month or two.”

STATE NEWS ITEMS

The Doings of Hoosierdom Reported by Wire. BOARD EXPLAINS TAX LAW Comml*alon«r« Tell AiMMon That Property Mult Be Appraioetf at True Caeh Value Without Regard to Person. Indianapolis, March 14. —State tax commissioners, Instructing local assessors on the new tax law at a meeting In the house chamber at the statehouse, called for equality In appraisement of all property and the enforcement of a true cash valuation. “You have heard so much almut the Inequalities of the tax laws by which the poor man is heavily taxed and the rich man escapes with a small amount of taxes. Now have nerve enough to go out and assess the rich man’s property Vit its true cash value," said Fred A. Sims, chairman of the state board. He added that under the new law the assessors hud the power anil the law to back them up in a 100 per cent valuation. Assessors from 24 counties Jn central Indiana gathered at the statehouse to hear an explanation of the new law. Similar conferences will be conducted during the remainder of the week in other sections of the state. Personal property is to be taxed at 100 per cent valuation Just the same as real estate, Mr. Sims said. “You will have your troubles with the persons whose property Is now to be assessed at full value who formerly enjoyed favors, for they will abuse you and call you irtl sorts of things, but Just tell them you can’t help it, and that the state board of tax commissioner* ordered the valuation,” Mr. Sims added. He urged them to overestimate property if necessary and then let the owner appear before the county board of review and prove the value of his property. “If a man shows you a diamond and it looks like an expensive one, but lists It for SSO, you make your appraisal at about SSOO and then he’ll come before the board of review untl tell what he paid for it.” Mr. Sims urged assessors to pay particular attention to Intangibles and stocks, bonds und money in the bank, but not to assess from behind the bank's counter or they would have every bank closed before night. “List all the Intangibles possible and make them pay the full rate." Mr. Sims advised. He asked assessors to record in detail the action of any person in buying shorttime government securities to dodge taxes ami said the state board of tax commissioners would use such evidence as a ftisis for legal proceedings to break up the practice of converting money and property into exempted securities to dodge taxes. Ife said that such action was a basis for a suit charging fraud against the person doing such act. “Household goods have b»*en put in at a disgraceful figure,” he continued. He told the men to list nothing less than 100 per cent and make the person giving in such property swear to its correctness of value. He said that household goods now assessed at about S2O should be assessed at at least SIOO. Mr. Sims declared that there was not a single joker in the bill and that it was drawn to in elude every one fairly. He said that the opponents |o the bill had brought the strongest possible influence to bear against the measure but the tax board had stood firm.

AMERICA NO PLACE FOR THE PESSIMIST

Secretary es the Treasury Qlaae Bays Theae Sheuld Be Daye es ReJeielnq, es CenfWenee ani High Receive. “A thing difficult of understanding la the reactionary spirit which. In some quartern, seems to have seised bold of American business.” declared Secretary of the Treasury Glass in a recent interview on the coming Victory Liberty Loan. “It manifests itself In a gloomy and pessimistic view of the future in no way justified by conditions, present or discernible, and in a disposition to cavil at the further expenditures the government la under the necessity of making in order to liquidate the war." Secretary Glass declared he saw no reason whatever for dark foreboding. On the contrary, be was firm In the belief that these should be days of rejoicing, of confidence and high resolve. “America is the least injured of any of the nations which took active part in the death grapple with autocracy on the soli of France and Flanders,” he continued. “Except for the 00.U00 who gave up their lives and the thousands who are returning, maimed or wounded, the United States has made no real sacrifice.

“Is the American spirit less courageous than the spirit of the French or the Belgians? France, sorrowing but undaunted, has set about to repair, the wreck the ruthless invaders wrought, and refuses to view the future darkly. Belgium, stripped of all save honor, looks forward to the day when a greater nation will arise on the ruing of the old. Shall America, then, bend and groan under the imaginings of a burden which it should bear lightly, if felt at all? 'The coming issue of government bonds has been designated the Victory Liberty Loan. It seems to me that it might well be termed also the Thanksgiving Loan, for if people had cause for Thanksgiving, we are that people. ‘Those Americans who today are among the carper* and quibblers are not worthy of the name of Americans. They are not worthy the boys they sent forth to make, If need be, the supreme sacrifice that liberty might live. “Now that the coming of peace has restored their sons to them, will they tighten up their purse strings and adopt an attitude which seems to say. The war is over; I did my part while the fighting was in progress, and now let the government go hang.' Ido not think so. I believe that when the next loan is offered they will understand its necessity and will gladly meet its requirements.” HELP “FINISH THE JOB."

SAFETY-C SERVICE. 'SATISFACTION Liberty Bonds are selling below par simply because so many people are crowding them onto the market. We do not like to handle them below par and we can not pay more for them than we can sell them for, but we are willing to handle them at the highest price the market affords. We prefer that our customers hold them and if necessary they can be pledged as security for money borrowed from us. We believe they will be worth 100 cents on the dollar,, within a year. We are loaning money freely, buying good notes of any kind, making real estate and town property loans and doing our utmost to handle the business of our patrons safely and render the service that produces satisfaction. Our continued growth Justifies us in believing our customers are pleased with r “The Bank on the Corner and on. the Square.”
