Cotherman Editor-Manager Published every Thursday and entered the Postoffice at Ligonier, Indiana as second class matter, . - . My Expriénce As a 4-H Club Member By. Jane Palmer York Twp. 4-4 H club work has done more %o train boys and girls to do practical things that are really useful than any other project I know of. It teaches them to accomplish many things by working ag a group -that we cannot do alone. : ' Special trips are planned by the railroad companies at special rates, for 4-H club members and their parents. I had the pleasure of going on one of these tours five Years 2ago, when we went to Chicago and saw Field’s Mueseum, Lincoln Park, Fort Dearborn and many other interesting projects. Last year a trip was piacned to Niagara Falls. 1 joined the York township 4-H club seven years ago and during that time I have been in sewing, baking, health and food preparation projects.

In 4-H club work one must ba a good loser as well as a good winne:. It js interesting to compare our exhibits with the other boys and girls at the county fair. - - * At our club meetings, county Dpi:nics and at the Noble County fair we get acquainted with club members over the county.. and we 4-H club members make many friends that are worthwhile.

Bach year we have a Noble County 4-H Achievement day for all members and their parents. The clubs take turng giving short programs . every other year. Nearly all the club members and their parents attend this meeting. . -Award and record books are presentéd to- each club member at this meeting._ - =

If a bgy or girl joins the 4-H club it gives the something worth while to do during the summer. They also get acquainted. with many girls and boys of the township and county they wouldpn’t know - otherwise. ] Every boy and. girl of 4-H club age, which is ten to twenty years, should take advantage of the wonderful opportunities available in 4-H siub work and enroll in:thec. lub most to their liking. 4-H club work makes for better men and women and bhetter society for the coming generation.

Many Water Pipes Frozen.

Many familieg have been without city water because of frozen pipes and service lines between mains and homes. Since the start of the bitter cold wave January 22 the city water department has repaired a few frozen and broken meters.: : Plumberg have been kept busy making repairs to lines. As warmer weather returns it is probable that many more lines will be found bursted as frozen pipes thaw out. Water users are urged to allow one or more faucets to run small streams at night to keep the lines open and evade frozen pipes. k Not in recent years has the frost line been so deep as this year, and as a result much difficulty is encountered by both users of water in the city and rural districts. Farmers are badly handicapped in watering livestock. It is reported the ground is frozen to a depth -of three and in some places four feet deep. _

To Ask Dismisasl of Cases.

Following a decision by the -appellate court last week against a taxpayer who had enjoined the gross income tax division from collecting disputed taxes, it wag announeed today by Joseph P. McNamara, deputy attorney general, that the- tax division will ask for the Ad_is'!hifisa.l of all injunction‘ cases pending in -the lower ‘courts. Approximately ‘ twenty injunction suits, most of ' them involving comparatively small amount of-tax liability, are now on file, it 18 said. ' Ruling on an appeal from Lake county, the appellate court held that the estate of Edgar .A. Ridgely, former part owney of a Gary drug store should first pay the amount of taxes in dispute and then take legal steps provided 'in the gross income tax law, instead of attempting to enjoin the tax division from collecting the taxes. The lower court had granted an injunction. ° David “Dick” Wilkes, age about 33 died at hig home near South Milford Tuesday from a throat infection. He had beeen ill since last ' ‘Thursday night. He is survived by fhe.widow and three daughters, -aged about 8 years,.- 57years and an infant child. - Howard Mitiich, 20, died from an acéidéntal Gullet wound suffered Fri day at LaPotte, The youthyagéciean ing a ‘révolver when it Uigeharddd.

Farm Problems Will be Like Tarif§ The tariff used to be & political issue but now it is conceded by both major parties that there must always be protection by a tariff law of some description stated Leßoy Hoffman, Lafayette, at the recent Noble County Agricultural Planning committee meeting held at Albion. Produgtion control agriculture products will run about the same. course with the political parties as the tariff did, predicted Hoffman. It ig a political issue now, but Hoffman believes the time is just about here when all political parties are going to take it for granted that they must always have provision in their platforms to take care of the nation’s agricultural program which is the nation’s biggest problem.

THE 1936 Ford V-8 is the safest Ford car ¢ver built. This is another result of the Ford Motor Company’sv purpose to build every part of the automobile in keeping with the quality of the V-8 engine; - - For years the V-type engine has been a distinguishing characteristic of the most expensive cars. Making it available at low cost was a logical development of the basic Ford idea. | With Ford, one achievement ealls foranother. So attention was centered on making everything about the car measure up to the standard of V- 8 engine quality, This tells you why the 1936 Ford V-8 is such a safe car to with the utmost protection known to mo«lem'eggineei-ing.**' S
