INTEREST COSTS TAKES 14 CENTS

U. S. Estimates ‘835 Million Wil Be Spént On Debt Obligations

At least 14 cents out of every dollar paid by federal taxpayers in the current fiscal year is being spent for interest on the highest national ieht in history, treasury statistics showed. E

This compares with 17 cents last year and only 2 cents just prior to the United States’ entry into the World War. :

The 14 cents figure is based on the president’s budget estimate that this fiscal year’s government income will aggregate $5,828,150,719. However, there is a likelihood that this figure will be increased because of definite indications that revenue will pnot come up to expectations. - Budget statisticians estimated that $835,000,000 would be spent this year to meet interest obligations on the national debt now at $34,728,000,000 but which is expected.to reach 35 bil lion by June 30 end of the fiscal year, Dspite the increase in the nationai debt, a relatively smaller. poriion of th taxpayers’ dollar is being used tn pay interest on the government’s indebtedness. This is due to great'y increased federal revenue and lower interest rates growing out of refunding operations. .

The average interest rate on the public. debt, latest treasury figures show is 2,573 percent. In the fall of 1932 i- was 3.332. ’ 1i budget estimates for the 1932 fiscal vear were fulfilled only 11 cents of €2¢h revenue dollar would be used for meeting the public debt interest which is expected to total about $860,000,000.

Kretzmann of Kendallville a junior in high school was winner in the Noble ‘county spell ing contest at Fort Wayne Saturday afternoon sponsored by the JouraslGazette, which was broadcast over WOWO. " It was one of the keeenst and stiffest matches of the tourney so far. After the regular hour's broadcast the contest narrowed down to Miss Kretzmanp and Owen Weaver, a senlor at Wawaka. For fifteen minutes they spelled until Weaver spelled “putreaction” with an “i”’ instead of

an uew.

Third place went to Margaret Pfaffman, a senior in the Kendallville high school, who after appearing as & likely winner misspelled ‘elucidate.” Two other spellers, Mildred Harper a genfor at Cromwll and Josephine Kline a gsenior at Ligonier were in the champjonship class. Other students who competed were: Mildred Gangwer of Wawaka high school: Elizabeth Randall of Cromwell high school; Irene Smith and Charles Gatwood of Albion high school Keene Jacobe of Ligonier high school and Marie Pfleidner and LQuijse Castator of LaOtto high school . Great credit was extended the school officials and teachers of Noble county schools who showed as much if not even more ability than any other of the eleven counties which have spelled.

Mrs. Alice Oppenheim, 62 widow of Harris Oppenhejim was found dead in the gas-filled bathroom of her home in Goshen Sunday night. Coroner Karl Vetter of Elkhart after holding an inquest Monday morning, returned a verdict of suicide.
