COURTESY :: EFFICIENCY :: SERVICE

Ray Holsinger son of Frank Holsinger of Rome City died at his home in Hudson Saturday from where. the fun+ eral ‘was held Tuesday afternoon: The ‘ pall bearers were men from that.place ‘who have given him blood in the:many, blood transfusions that he has had.in the past few years. .

Homer Harvey and Jim List arrested for holding up a filing station in Elkhart were taken to that city Tuesday for arraignment in the superior court on charges of automobile banditry. E. L. Arnold who was appointed by thec ourt to defend the men was in Goshen on business early in the afternoon and said he would enter a plea of not guilty for the men and ask for a change of venue. 5 The two men were arrested with a girl Pauline McNeer who is also being held in jail. The two men took part in the first jailbreak a number of weeks ago and both were shot and wounded before they were recaptured. They were placed in irons for the trip to Elkhart.

Another chapter in the theft of two cars and 90 auto tires at North Manchester mentioned in the Banner, has ‘been written. A dispatch from North Manchester says: “Marshal ‘Heeter and Night Policeman Charles Hite arrested Vernon Miller yesterday afternoon . taking.him to South Bend because a man .arrested and put in jail there for robbing the Leedy garage here _.early Thursday morning had implPcated Miller as one of the robbers and had, also said that Miller had been .in: on several other robberies. Fully $2,000 worth of Firestone tires were taken besides a Buick and Packard car both of which were found at Ghurubusco and Ligonier.” iy It is believed that Miller is a young. man formerly employed in this ‘city.

Matter of Mathematics.

It is announced that a six cent reduction will be made in the 1927 levy for the state—a cut from 28 cents to twenty two cents. : If mathematics—pure and simple—are adhered to the reductiPn- will be possible, it was disclosed today by g State official entirely fau;iliar with the figures used in computing tax leves. A lesser reductionqn the (levy he declared, will mean the! gluttering: of the state treasury with the proceeds of an extra cent or two which will not be needed. : i Fach cent on the levy means ap income of $539,734.62. | 5 The state debt has been wiped ouf by the shifting of state funds and through the surplus taxes raised by, levies in years past. ; An increase of $35,000,000 in the total state valuation will increase the income accordingly. - J The total waluation for the state this year it was announced by the tax board following wreceipt of reports for the ninety two counties is $5,307,346,267.00 It represents an in, crease of $35,242,5687 over last year's valuation. By applying this year’s! valuation to mext year’s ;needs.-theﬂ result will be the 1927 levy.

Overcoats for Pipes

One of the reasons that the cost of electricity to you has gone down within ten years, while. everything else has gone up, is the work of the pipe men, | All day long a man at the power station goes about testing steam pipe coverings, and putting on new coverings. This keeps the heat and energy of the steam from leaking out. ! Another man spends all his time testing pipe joints, repairing pipes instantly when a weakness shows./This means that a little trouble ecan never grow into a big trouble—that no accident could make us long slow down the power plant and give you less current than you needed.

“Electricity, as much as needed, whenever needed, at the least cost to consumer,” is our motto.
