TAX RATE FOR COUNTY REMAINS AT 37 CENTS County Council Decides to Hold up All Non-essential Improvements. County tax rate for general fund will remain 37.9 cents o neach $100 tor 1919, according to the decision made In County Council Tuesday afternoon, upon hearing the auditor's repotr. The tax levy on the Main street bridge was fixed at five cents on ach $100; and on the free turnpike roads, 14 cents on each $100; both the same as last year, even though the budget was higher. The tentative budget first submitted was $202,619,87, but this was cut down to $193,09987. The budget for this last year was $175,911.84. Following the regular session, a special session was held to allow additional expenses, covering $1,500 for a tractor for the poor farm, $1,300 for a cement sidewalk west of the court house grounds. $1,500 for expenses of soldiers' burials, $5,000 for tuberculosis hospital and $1,900 for the West River bridge, which is on the line between Randolph and Wayne counties, and $150 for expenses for the Board of Children's Guardians. Provision for the increased expenses of operating the county business : was based on the following conditions, ! that all non-essential work be delayed ; and emergency given the tfght of way ' so that public service would not be im- ; paired, that the council avoid making any extensive appropriations for additional Improvements next year, and that the strictest economy be practiced. The County Treasurer is collecting about $15,0C0 more delinquent taxes each year than was collected a few years ago, which makes the accretion to the general fund about $2,000 per 1 year. Neither elections nor registrations will be held the next year, the balance on hand is slightly above the normal in the general treasury and if necessary could be reduced to a few thousand dollars, while the $10,000 In the South Side Bridge fund could also be borrowed if some unforeseen emergency should warrent it to be done. The amount on hand June 30, 1918, not including the Main street bridge fund, was $87,330.95, which is the best showing for some time. The report showed that $10,000 annually had been saved from the funds used for dependent children, which has been brought about by corrective agencies who have placed children in homes instead of in institutions.

The American Red Cross will provide mourning brassards to be worn by the relatives of men who are killed In France, according to announcement made by the war council of the organization.

172 Alien Women Were Registered in Richmond There were 172 alien women registered at the Richmond Police station, and 7,739 alien women registered in the state; not including those who registered from the rural districts. These figures were shown in a report completed Tuesday by Mark Storen, United States Marshal for Indiana.

Mary's Little Lamb, together with the whole Sheep Tribe, is being friven the best of care these "Wool Wanted" days. When it is realized that lamb and mutton are fetching never-before-known prices; that hides command a figure that boosts the price of shoes 75 and more; and, that the annual wool clip brings big money into the sheep raisers' pockets, it is easy to understand the farmers' efforts to increase the size and quality of their flocks. Nowhere has the impetus given to this branch of farming been more marked than in Canada. The Canadian Government in its far-sightedness has, through its experimental farms, sent blooded stock into all communities suited to sheep raising. The Shropshire, Liecester and Oxford rams introduced into Nova

Scotia flocks have worked wonders. From a few scattered flocks, the industry has grown into one of considerable importapce. Nova Scotia wool is of a particularly fine texture and is in great demand Dy New England manufacturers of fine woolen underwear. In 1917 they bid 72 cents for the unwashed and 95 cents for the washed product. As the local demand for fine wool was not sufficient to meet these prices, most of Nova Scotia's wool was exported to New England. The Dominion Atlantic Railway Company is helping: the farmers of

Nova bcotia in this direction. It! promotes prize-winning contests and wages a continual campaign for the! education and encouragement ofi farmers in sheep husbandry. In western Canada the Canadian Pacific I Railway is doing a like work, but on I

a much more extensive scale. It has sold much land to be used exclusively for sheep raising and is teaching settlers, old and new, that mixed farming is the surest money-maker, and that sheep raising is one of the best paying branches of mixed farming. Western Canada is the logical sheep raising country, and the industry, especially in Southern Alberta, is last assuming a position only second to grain growing. The Southern Alberta Wool Growers' Association is in large measure responsible for this, as it assures to the sheep raiser the minimum of trouble in marketing his clip and the maximum of prices. The Association's shipments of wool this year have totalled nearly two million pounds. This is greatly in advance of last year's tots.1.

A shell is measured by its diameter. A three-inch shell fits a gun whose "more" is three inches across; but the shell may fourteen inches long or more. " .

HOW TO AVOID BACKACHE AND NERVOUSNESS Told by Mrs. Lynch From V Own Experience. Providence, R. I. "I was all run down in health, was nervous, had head-

aches, my back

ached ail the time.

I was tired and had

no ambition foranything. I had taken a number of medicines which did me no good. One day I read about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and what it had done for women, so I tried it. My nervousness and backache and

headaches disappeared. I gained in weight and feel fine, so I can honestly

t recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Veget table Compound to any woman who is

sunering as l was. Mrs. Adeline h. Lynch, 100 Plain St, Providence, R. I. Backache and nervousness are symptoms or nature's warnings, which indicate a functional disturbance or an unhealthy condition which often develops into a more serious ailment. Women in this condition should not continue to drag along without help, but profit by Mrs. Lynch's experience, and try this famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Comound and for special advice write to ydia E. Pinkham Med.Co., Lynn, Mass.
