JASPER INDIANA There aro unpleasantor things In this world than a surfeited coal bin. This Is a great little country, and we have the census figures to prove It. It Is said that a now United States gun is the most powerful. Surely; why not? A Brazilian revolt has come to bo about as serious as a bunting season In this country. A Maryland man wants a divorce boca-sc be is afraid of bis wife. But who of ua Isn't? X nd T a now law It Is a treat d Tacoraa. Tacoina tbo or ginal tightwad town. cruno must to bu A woman gets a place as a wire less operator because the C Q. D. heroes are said to be lazy. They are planning to keep tab on the people who have domestic troubles. Just as If that would stop them! An advertisement says that every home should havo a talking machine. Evidently the man who wrote It is not married. A man In Michigan dislocated his jaw by laughing over bis wife's Joke. The reverse never would or could have happened. A Philadelphia man committed suicide with a safety razor, bat so far we haven't beard of a woman cutting ber corns with one. If last summer's geranium pot were not so heavy it might be covered with velvet and thus becom a very stylish hat for your daughter. What did Woodrow Wilson mean when he told the governors assembled fn Louisville that they bad come to Kentucky for "Stimulation?" A Minnesota man. Just as the undertaker was about to embalm him. sat up and cried: "Hello. B1H!" Such conduct is almost Indecorous. When the Ohio river takes a notion to fill up and go on a prolonged spree thore is nothing to do but tand back and lot the old thing have Its way. A St- Louis man has Invented a soundless soup spoon. This notable addition to the elegancies of society may be followed in time by the knifeless pie. Is It worth while to designate the exact status of the person who moralizes on tho blessings of poverty and does nothing to relieve tho curse of poverty? Now that the long hatpin Is being assailed by boettle legislators, outraged femininity will probably take to wearing machetes or snickersnees in public places. A New Jersey girl advertises that ehe will not marry any of her acquaint ances but wants a stranger for a hu. band. Doesn't she even want to be in trodncod to him first? The man charged with cruelty by his wife on the ground that he made her shave him. is no drübt sn innocent martyr, if the fact were known Probably he was merely adopting this means of inflicting a p nance upon himself. That he enjoyed the operation Is Inconceivable. The otherwise safe and tane citizens of Massachusetts have Just finished a three-year-old pool game. Poolomanla. although not violent or dangerous to the innocent bystanders. Is well nigh Incurable. Its one redeeming feature is that the victims labor under the illusion that they are enjoying thorasftlvee. The New Jersey mayor who was horsewhipped by an Irritated lady appeared bofore the grand jury to havo "her Indicted for "unladylike" bonaTlor. If she had been content with a tongue laahlng he would probably "have conceded her the privilege of her sex. but her rudeness in using a honsewhlp in addition hurt his feelings too much for meek endurance. Dr. Lydston asserts that grafting Ii cauied by a germ which makes Its primary bite when you get very much occupied wih your paper as the conductor comes along for the fare. On that theory the pay-as-you-enter oar should net as a sterilizer for that particular microbe At all events.

HALL GIVES OUT THE COMMITTEES Speaker Veneman Declares List Is Not Complete.

ORGANIZATION OF 2 HOUSES Governor Marshall Given Close Attention When He Read His Message In the Joint Session of the House and Senate. Indianapolis. When the governor read his inessag in the Joint session of the bouse and senate ho was given the closest attention, not only by the Kenibers themselves, but by the throngs which filled tho galleries of the bouse. The first day's session of tho legislature was marked only by the work of organization of the two houses. Lieutenant Governor Hall announced the list of his committee appointments In the senate, but Spoaker Veneman said he had not completed his list for the house committees, and vould not be able to make the announcements before Monday or Tuesday of next week.

Indorsing prison sentences for men proved guilty of tax dodging. John W. Kern, speaking before the state board of tax commissioners, condemned the practice as discouraging to men who ! are trying to be honest. Mr. Kern I trying to bo honest. Mr. Kern cwuenaeu in nis speech also tnat an I bonds, public or private, should be list- , eu lor taxation. He denounced the al- ! leged lax methods of county assessors In falling to administer the oath to all : property owners when a schedule of j property is accepted nnd asserted that , the average owner of property bears ! an unfair share of the burdens of tax- ; at Ion. ! " A prison sentence for cne or two prominent citizens of Indiana." he fiald. "would work marvels In curing the evil of tax dodging. It is known to ail men that a very large per cent, of property Is not being taxed. Tax dodgers aro found in every corner of the state. This Is discouraging to the average taxpayer and the honest man. The solution of this problem is up to the county assessors. Tho courts have held that contracts made with tax ferrets are invalid and unenforceable because this duty devolves upon the county asEossors. who aro paid to do the work. "I don't know when I have been sworn to my list of property. Tho assessor makes himself liable when he certifies that the oath has been administered and he must do this whethor the oath Is administered or not In such cases the assessor Is liable to Indictment by the grand Jury. "I have never believed It wise for the 1 glslature to exempt any bonds of whatever character for taxation. We no longer can play favorites. There must be equality In the matter of taxation." William T. Murray, assessor of Fayette county, sounded a warning against exorbitant assessments of real estate, following the recent decline In- values of farm products. He contended that appearances of farm property ore sometimes deceptive and that the socalled thrifty farmer may share unfnSrly the harden of taxation when the natural value of his land la no greater than that of bis shiftless neighbor. Brown Succeeds Hadley. Following the rr-electlon of eight members of the state board of agriculture, the board reorganized for tho current year by electing . NowL Iltown of Franklin president to succeed Oscar Hndley of Plalnfleld. Dan C. Heed of Attica was elected vicepresident, succeeding Mr. Brown, and Charles Donning of this city, was reelected Secretary. Mr. Brown will announce In a few days hir committees for the year. Few changes of Importance are expected.

There was considerable opposition to making a change In the place of meeting, the sessions heretofore having been held at Indianapolis. L. E. Troeger, editor of the Prairie Farmer. Chicago, spoke on "Some Phnses of the Sheep Business." He said that tho present Is an opportune time for Indiana farmers to give more attention to sheep.
