Spare the Birds.

Song and - insectivorous birds are protected under two laws, state and the Federal migratory bird treaty act. Under the migratory act any one convicted of killing a song or insectivorous bird may be fined not less than $1 and cost and not to exceed $5OO and costs, to which may be added six months minimum jail sentence. Prosecution under state laws permit assessment of a fine of $lO to $5O and costs for kiling any kind of wild birds except English sparows, black birds, crows, hawks ad birds of prey. Birds possess an economic value to mankind and their presence is necessary to maintain nature’s balance for destroying insect pests that kill agricultural and fruit crops. In many parts of Indiana bird conservation is tanght inthe public schools and their increase, not decimation encouraged.

- The asseased Valuation for Noble county will be considerably lower this year than it was for the year 1920 according to reports which are being made by the various township assessors and thelr deputies. o Regular reports are being submitted to the county assessor by the township workeérs and their deputies and these reports show tlie decline, which was ordered by the state tax cimmissioners some time ago.

Household goods and automobiles are also being listed at lower figures this year than they Wwere a year ago. : o In the towns and cities over the county the decling is not nearly as pronounced at it is in the rural districts. Heal estate has not shown a tendency to fall. Corporations and business firms however according to the statements which they are required to tile with the assesor, are taking into con-| sideration the fact that their stock is worth less this year than it was last.

}cins BENEFITS - ALREADY DE"RIVED FROM HAVING A TRAIN. NURSE AVAILABLE TO PUBLIC DEMAND FOR CONTINUATION Publie Is Reminded That Expenses Must be Met. Plan To Raise Neces. sary Fund Is Proposed |

An article has already been published in a former issue of this paper, giving the details of the organization of the Community Nurse Association in Ligonier and ePrry Township. As to whether or not the work shall be continued, now rests squarely upon the shoulders of the, people of the community. : S : Those who know, from actual experience, what the work of the nurse ‘has menat to them, and those who fully realize that they may be in the ' most urgent need of the service, perhaps without a moments warning. will be the most earnest advocates of the continuance of this splendid work. During the epidemic of influenza a year or more ago, the work of the nurse was of incalculable value. The assistance rendered our overworked ‘physicians during that trying time, undoubtedly prevented many cases from developing into pmeumonia, or leaving the patients in an otherwise deplorable physician condition. The service is an .urgently needed at other times, for those who are sick or Injured, as when an epidemic is raging. - While a charge is made to those who can afford to pay, on the theory that those who actually have the service, should pay, and are willing to pay, more than those who do not, the receipts from that source will not begin to deiray the expense, and the deficit must be made up by the community as a’whole. ” So therre may be no misunderstanding, the Committee desires to state that the regular published charges are to be paid only by those who can fford to do so. Those who feel they cannot afford to may pay a lesser amount, while those who cannot afford to pay at all, will be given tue service without charge. 2 The funds turned over by the War Chest Committee wil soon be exhausted. It is now necessary to raise further funds, or the work must be dis’eonunned.i The amount raquired is approximately $lBOO.OO per year. The Commitee proposes to raige this fund on the “War Chest” principle, which ‘means that the people are to sabscribe ‘whatever amount they feel they can aford, to be paid at stated intervals during the year. : ’ This is a ‘humanitarian proposition. A serious accident .or. critical illness may conme to any one at any moment. ‘While it is intended Tor the benefit of all, the principle objecf is to help those who may not be able to help themselves. The local papers will advise when the drive is to be mads. Think it over, and be prepared to sub--ctsibe as much as you feel you can afford, when called upon. . If the work is discontinued, from lack of funds, you may be the firs: to suffer by it. Every man and women in this community should give this work their whole learted moral and financial support. . :

~ Four persons were indicted by the Kosciusko county grand jury late . Tuesday accused of the murder of Leroy Lovett age twenty, of Elkhart, They are Virgil Decker, age eighteen ‘Fred and Calvin. Decker brothers and Mrs. Lydia Decker the mother. All were arpested Wednesday afternoon, The brothers are in. jall at Warsaw and Mrs. Decker at Elkhart The authorities allege that Lovetl was killed because of his close resemblance to Virgil Decker who carried three $5.000 life insurance policigs payable to Fred Decker. A clause in one of the policles provided for double idemnity in case of accidental death, making a possible total of $20,008, - lovett, dresed in Virgil Decker's clothing was. found fatally Injured beside the Pennsylvania railroad tracks near Atwood the night of Mar, 12. He had been In a buggy, which was hit by a freight train, and from which the horse had been detached, Virgil Decker later confessed that he had attacked Lovett in a cabin on the banks of the Tippecanoce Triver nearby, making him unconscious with an fron bar after which he put his clothes on Lovett and removed him in the buggy to the railroad, in the hope that the body would be mangled by the train and identified as Decker himself. - Lovett however was not mangled }md -did not die until the next day ‘after he had been removed to Bourbon.

With the Deckers, the jail at Warsaw now holds eight alleged murderers, a number unprecedented in . the country's history. Owing to the sensational natufe of the crimes. excitment in the vicinity has at times risen to fever heat and attempts b& lynching parties have been feared. i is with the object of forestalling any such demonstrations, that electric lights have been strung around the building and a strong guard placed %o keep a close watch. i _ The four other prisoners already In the jail are J.
