TAGGART HOTEL—BASS LAKE By H. C. Reid Hoosier State Automobile Association

Hie vacation play time is in estab(lshed institution in American life As the summer season approaches, the Him question arises each year—- “ Where Shall We Go for Our Recreation?” Lakes with their diversity of appeal have the strongest lure for tired folk. “What are the hotel accommodations?" is the next pertinent question. “Do they have a peppy orchestra that makes the feet tingle pad tickle?" “Do they have a safe playground for the kiddies and a bridge den for the madams?" Bass Lake, the third largest in Inliana, meets all conditions —ten ream! hotels, four hundred cottages and excellent camping facilities satisfy the desire of indoor and outdoor vacationists. Whatever your bent may be for playtime, Bass Lake will satisfy it. {The thrill of an immense body of waIw is calling you. The zest of matching wits with the gamest fish afloat

ALFALFA IS REDEEMING NORTHERN SAND FARMS Two sand fields with a total of forty-five acres, Laporte County, are yielding ninety tons of first class alfalfa bay this season. For many years owners of sand soil in northern Indiana have been at a loss to know how to make it yield profitably. The two fields mentioned here are part of a farm owned by I. H. Hull, General Manager of the Purchasing Department of the Indiana Farm Bureau. He had experimented with several different crops and until he learned the art of preparing the seedbed to successfully grow alfalfa, he was bewildered concerning profitable production. * His farm lies near Hanna City, bordering the Kankakee River bottom lands. Adjoining fields are lying idle this season. Mr. Hull has all his sand land (forty-five acres) in alfalfa. The average of two tons per acre production will bring to lh owner 176.00, or |38.00 per ton, Chicago market price, if he cares to sell it. Mr. Hull says that the Indiana Farm Bureau seed division can enlighten any owner of sand lands regarding methods that will practically insure good alfalfa stands. The climate and moisture of the State are very suitable to this crop and with proper seed bed preparation, a good stand of alfalfa can be assured.

TAXPAYERS ARE URGED TO “WATCH THE CORNERS” Indianapolis, July 19—That the taxpayers of this state may spend the next several weeks profitably for themselves if they will “watch the corners" is the declaration of Harry Mlesse, secretary of tne Indiana Taxpayers Association. “Our association,” said . Mr. Miesse, “stands ready to serve the taxpayer and the taxing official alike. We are primarily interested in keeping taxas down to where they should be but when we take that position we have no desire to cripple any governmental unit or stand in the way of any vital improvement The season is at hand for the making of budgets. Officials of all taxing units are getting ready their estimates for the coming year and the tax rates will be determined by the amounts these officials decide they need. Although all of them may he sincere in their beliefs they are not always correct in their assumption that every item placed in the budget must remain there or that the appropriations they believe they need are absolutely necessary. “Here is where the taxpayers themselves should assert their rights and their interest. This year the StateBoard of Accounts has sent to the officials of counties, townships, civil and school corporations the different budget classifications the law prescribes* In short a work sheet with a definite place for every item has been placed before every official who has a budget to make or a tax levy to figure. The season for guessing and haphazard budget making is at an end. We believe that if all theseyjfficials anticipate their revenue carefully, with particular attention o balances left in funds this year, the anticipated revenue from gasoline tax and other sources they will be able to shave their estimates closer than ever before, and at the same time provide liberally for their needs. Here is where the taxpayers should watch the corners. Our association will help in any way possible and our field secretaries stand ready to give assistance of this character whenever they are called upon to help. Close attention to the tax problem means lower taxes for next year.”

SEVEN KILLERS DIE IN ELECTRIC CHAIR | EDRYVILLE, Kentucky, July 19. i Seven men. four whites and three i negroes, all convicted of murder, | went to their death in the electric | chair at the state penitentiary early ' last Friday. The grim parade to the execution ; chamber began shortly after midnight. The white men were the first to go. They were followed by the three negroes, the last 'being pronounced dead at 2:25 a. m. The doomed men, tor the most •j part, went bravely to tlieia death. They spent their last; hours visiting With friends and sobbing relatives. Practically all of them accepted religious consolation. The grim ordeal, setting anew record for the number of. men executed in one day, was carried out ,n military fashion and without disora. der. Save for the wailing of heartbroken mothers and sisters as thev were led away from the prison, and later the sizzling crack of the electric chair, the condemned went to their death in oppressive silence. Three of the men killed for love, two for gain and two for revenge.

MOTHER CAMPS OUT Summer time. Harvest nearly over and threshers coming. Mercury at the top of the thermometer tube. Vegetables and fruit to can and preserve. Spring fries to be fed and watered. Errands to town to be run for Father and the boys in the field. Countless palls of water to lug from the distant well. Long days that seem to have no end. Torrid waves of heat from the' kitchen range. Huge washings of sweaty shirts and overalls. Summer time on the farm is no vacation where Mother is concerned! Another picture unfolds. Tents and cottages beside a cooling lake. No cooking, no planning of meals for hungry men. Time to lie in the shade of graceful trees. Games to play—and time to play Them! Magazines to read and perhaps a sentimental novel to recall carefree girlhood days. Sopgs and stories in the cooling evening shadows with no thought of the morrow r ’s work to spoil the joy of play. Mother is camping out! Last summer 640 Ohio farm Mothers took a few days off and‘went td camps in 16 Ohio Counties, reports the research department of the National Association of Farm Equipment Manufacturers. In Montana, 8 summer vacation camps for farm women were held by the state home demonstration service with a total attendance of 2,199. This year nine camps are being held in various .parts of the state, extending from the first of June to the middle of July. Two days and three hights of carefree pleasure were enjoyed at each of these camps. The campers did no cooking. In a few cases they washed their own dishes, but had no meals to plan. Programs were provided, games were played, and plenty of time left for them to do as they pleased. Father and the boys? Somehow they got along with not a casualty of any kind reported. But it’s a safe bet they appreciated Mother more than ever when she returned, her absence shattering that taken-for-granted feeling which so often creeps in with the endless farm routine. Father, with his tractor, combine, large cultivators and plows, often needs a practical demonstration of the burden cf the water pail and the pleasant pastime of carrying fuel for an always hungry cook stove. Perhaps anew realization of the need for more labor-saving conveniences for the lady of the house was born in many a denim clad breast —when Mother camped!

NAPPANEE ADVANCE-NEWS, NAPPANEE. INDIANA

| 530 CHILDREN EXAMINED IN .CHILD HEALTH CONFERENCES Nappanee led in the number cf children examined it tho various Child Health Conft r nces field over the county during June and July. 141 children were examined here June 20. 21, 22. and 23. Miss Florence L. Apple, R. N., Elkr hart county nurse makes the following report of the <" >td Health Conference, held in 11 health centers throughout the county during June and July. There were 530 pre-school children examined from birth to the eighth birthday. Dr. Apoiina A. Wilson was the examining physician, assisted by staff nurses and Miss Apple, all under the direction of Dr. Ada Schweitzer director of the Child Health division, of the Indiana State Board of Health. The child defects-- of the children may be summed up as defective ton-' sils and adenoids, defective sight, impaired hearing, enlarged glands of the neck both lymph nodes and goiter, improper diet, rest, sunlight, malnutrition and lack of vaccination for small pox and toxin and anti-toxin for diphtheria.

Parental Education Probably the most far reaching aspect of the pre-school movement has been the work in the education of the parents. With the realization of the importance of the early years of a ehild’B life comes the realization of the importance of home and parents. A little child is as he is largely because his parents and home arp what they are. A little child's life is completely dominated by the adults in the home. What he eats, what he wears, how much he sleeps, how much he plays outdoors, what he has to play with, whom he plays with, what language he hears, what standards he begins to accept—all these and more are determined for a little child by his parents and home. These are the factors likewise which most affect his development mentally, socially and emotionally. If we would improve little children it can only be done by changing ihc adults who control his environment. Conferences when dealing with preschool children become almost consulting centers since most of the work must be done with and through the parents rather than the child directly. It is earnestly hoped that parents having children with defects will have them corrected before school opens in the fall. Following is the number of children examined in each health center and the chairman for that district. Goshen—77 —Mrs. Milton Latta. Bristol —25 —Mrs. M. D. Hilbish. Dunlap—23—Mrs. E. O. Bechtol.

Clarence Dick of 357 West Lincoln street, called at the Advance-News office Saturday morning with two blood-red dahlias, or should we say five, that were real “biological sports,” and one in which any botany professor would have gloried. One of the specimens had a double bloom and one a triple. Evidently while maturing the stems of the plants had pome into close contact with each other for in both instances, three, or two, distinct stems couid be seen molded into one stem. The buds matured at about the same time, although one of the blooms on, the triple dahlia was beginning to curl and lose its deep red color showing that it had unfolded before the other two on the stem. A triple dahlia which was grown in the garden of George Danford at North Liberty this summer was caused in the same way. However, in this instance, only two blooms appeared although there was a third bud ready to open. Mrs. Dick has grown dahlias for a number of years, never however, trying to develop freaks, although varigated blooms, and different colors have appeared from dahlia bulbs saved from the year previous. BIRTHS Mr. and Mrs. Noble Flowers, a son, born Monday. July 16. Mr. and Mrs. Chester Walters, a son, born Saturday, July 14. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Clark of South Bend, a son, Truman Paul, born Saturday, July 14. Mr. Clark Is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Clark of this city.
