_ A COSTLY ERROR. Mistake of an Enrolling Clerk Deprived the State of a Big Sum Yearly. Former Attorney General Taylor says that the mistaké of an enrolling clerk probably cost Indiana $200,000 a year, as he believes the governor would have signed the inheritance tax bill if the word “inestate” had not been used for “intestate.” In his last report as attorney general he recommended the enactment of an inheritance tax law, He drew the bill and submitted it to Representative Stechhan, of Indianapolii, by whkom it was introduced. ~ “There were no mistakes in the bill that I drew,” said Taylor. “The printed copy was correct when it went through the house and senate, but some enrolling clerk made the change that rendered the bill invalid. That mistake cost the state at least $200,000 a year, as an inheritance tax law would be worth that much annually.” Bright Outlooq; for Wheat. State Statistician B. F. Johnson says tha‘t- the outlook was never brighter for a fine wheat crop in Indiana. “I would judge,” he said, “that wheat and grass are a month further advanced now than they were at .this time last year. I haveé never seen wheat looking better, and the reports I get from different parts of the state are very encouraging:. Of course, the farmers whose lands are now flooded will suffer from an almost total loss of wheat, but the flood will put the soil in fine copdition for corn.”

OUR SOCIAL LIFE. s

Interesting Facts Developed by = Comparison Between Tewn and Country Circles.

~ A comparison_of the conditions between social life in town and im the country brings forth some rather interesting facts. Most of these, too, are in favor of the country woman. In the first place the city woman usually finds that her social life wildtake up all the time that shd can give to it, and a little more. She must keep in the swim or drop out; :here is no middle course -and it is haid 1o choose. It is very pleasant to have friends whom one can entertain and visit and we owe it to our families to do this to.a certain extent. It is only when the social side becomes too insistent that it is faulty. When we allow more vital things to lapse on account of superficial matters we are on the wrong tack and would better take a reef in our social sails, says the Prairie Farmer Home Magazine. ; The city woman. too. is hampered in entertaining her friends by the desire for display and a wish to make an impression. People who do not know one another well may be easily deceived as to real condifions. and this: society, svhich is based on a surface acquaintance, is often Tather shallow and sometimes more showy than substantial. . Visiting in town is so much easier than in the country that it becomes a habit and is-often just a wayv of spending one’s time rather than a means -of - meeting one’s fricnds. Women in the country go to see one another less often and hence from a real desire rather than the impulse of the moment. Their standards of life are more rationat. and when they do take a day off occasionall¥ for a good old-fashioned visit it is a real pleasure. Then there is not the constant change of neighbors as in town; .they know the same people and have the same interest in them from year to.year. They watch the young people grow up from bhabyhgod and are concerned-about iheir welfare. At the social githering there may be some gossip; but it is not the harmful kind, the word that stings or the expression that harts. ‘We hear the kindly word and the .good cheer of neighboring hear:: as -well as bodies and feel that sincerity is the prompting metive here. At a recent gathering of club women some of these subjects were discussed and the Tfollowing paragraph is iaken from a talk given by Mrs. Charles Henrotin, who has traveled much and seen the broader side of social Efe in many parts of the country: “The women in the comntry and in ‘the smaller towns are happier than the women in the big cities. They are freer in the country and have the opportunity to legd a larger life. ‘They think of elemental instead of superficial -things. The intelligence ‘'of the American country woman is high and this contributes a isrge measure of happiness to her life. Countey women have better and saner ideas of life than city women. The social life of the average city woman is much more limited than of the women of the smaller towns. The people _of the little cities and towns _are not hampered by iheir moderate means and other lacks. The city women do not feel the freedom’ that is felt and enjoyed by the country woman. The freedom of the women is their happiness.”™
