IREBLE TARES STEPS TO INSURE PROPER CARE OF CHILDREN

Work has been started in Preble County to procure the correction of physical defects of the school children and teach them right health habita; that they may have a fair chance for a normal, healthy lite. Officials say that in order to do this they must start with the mother and the very young child. Because of a lack of knowledge concerning child care many yomg chil

dren die every year as a result of j

improper food, and lack or care. i 4.353 babies died in Ohio in 1920 from natal and prenatal causes. 2.077 j babies died from gastro-intestinal diseases. Seven per cent of the babies bora in Preble County in 1920 died tinder one year of age. The Preble County Nursing Service, working with the state department of health, har, started the work among the school children this past winter, and is now planning to take up the work with the mothers and; children under school age. . Free Movies. At 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon, June 30, moving pictures, '"Our Children," and "The Long vs. Short Haul", will be shown free to all mothers and any other persons interested in child welfare. The pictures, with a short talk by a physician interested in this work, will be given in the Eatonian Movie House across from the court house. This will be followed by a child welfare conference in the Red Cross Nurse's Room in the court house at 1 o'clock Saturday, July 2, when the babies and young children will be eighed and measured and a complete .hysical examination made by com

petent physicians of the Preble Coun

ty Medican association. Everyone Is invited to bring their children to this conference. It is hoped a permanent child wel

fare station may be established where the mothers may meet to have their babies weighed at regular intervals and to discuss with the nurse any problems that perplex or interest them.

The rooms were artist icaly decorated in a profusion or garden flowers. The members responded to roll call with humorous readings, and for amuse

But in recent years the accumulation of intangible property can be hidden and escape taxation. Avoids Taxation. "Assessors are often unable to find the intangible property, and when it is discovered the owner often moves it Into another locality to avoid taxation. Some men create imaginary debts to offset their wealth of in tangibles. "It is also argued that intangible

property should not be taxed at the same rate as tangible. If you own a city block you receive police and fire

protection and street improvements

in return for your taxes. Intangibl

property receives none of these bene

fits, and it Is often argued that this fact should lower the intangible tax.

Experts Disagree.

"It is difficult for us to say what is

right and proper as even tax experts

disagree on the matter.

"The income tax amendment pro

posed which would authorize the legis

lature to establish a state income tax,

is new in Indiana. Switzerland, Ger

many and England, however, have long had such taxation. The best method of such taxation in Indiana that I can cite to you is the law in Wisconsin. There, the rate is one-half of one percent on $1,000: three-fourths of one per cent on $l000; one per cent on $3,000; and so on up to $14,000 when the rate reaches 6ix per cent All over $14,000 is taxed six per cent. At this rate Indiana would get about $1,700,000 annually. "The tax reform movement really had its conception in Richmond about six or seven years ago. ' Results of the good work by members of the old

Commercial club on- the question of delinquent taxes, led to the forming

of the Indiana Tax association, and

later the appointment of the state tax

commission by Gov. Samuel Ralston."

Points to Samples.

Mr. Bowmsn here pointed to the

present inheritance tax law and auto

mobile license law which he declared were samples of how the state is

raising money in addition to the prop

erty tax returns. He said that the

tax amendments now proposed were for the purpose of making another addition. "Would the collection of additional tax lower the present property tax?" was a question from one at the meeting. "It should," said Mr. Bowman. He explained that the government needed more money because of the fact that

highway maintainance had increased!

militia shall consist of all able-bodied male persons between the ages of 18 and 45 years," instead of as at present, which provides that "The militia shall consist of all able-bodied male white persons, etc." Mr. Bowman declared himself in

favor of amendments providing fori

tour year terms ror public officers instead of two years.

Following the program, the ladies were escorted to the dining room where the banquet was served in two courses. The committee had previously prepared place cards, decorated with ribbon of the club colors, violet and white, and on each card was written a verse, which was descriptive of each lady persent, and indicated her place at the table. The dining rooms and tables were prettily decorated

tional expenditures in the matter of

health and sanitation, and of schools.

Mr. Bowman, however, could not say that the increased revenue from addi-1

tional methods of taxation would result in lowering the present property tax. Must Avoid Duplication. In the question of levying additional tax he said that the 'entire tax system would have to be so harmonized that double taxation would not result. Mr. Bowman said that the entire matter would rest tn the hands of the legislature in all such particulars. Other of proposed amendments to the state constitution discussed by Mr. Bowman were qualifications for suffrage ; registration of voters; enumeration of voters; veto of items in appropriation bills fixing of terms of state officers; fixing of terms of county officers; fixing of terms of prosecuting attorneys; qualifications of lawyers; state superintendent of public instruction; admitting negroes to the state militia and extension of term of office or increase of salaries of public officials. Discusses Enumeration. Mr. Bowman spent a few minutes on

the proposed amendment providing

for the discontinuation of the six-year-enumeration of males for apportionment of state senators and representa-

! tives The amendment provides that

the state shall be apportioned hereafter on the basis of the total number of votes, including those of women, cast for secretary of state at the last preceding general election. "I am strong for this amendment," said Mr. Bowman. "This county spent $S98.46 at the last six-year enumeration. Under the provision of the amendment, thjs census would not have to be taken, and would therefore relieve us of this expense each six years" Negro Militiamen. He explained that the proposed amendment admitting negroes to the state militia meant the changing of the present constitution to read, "The

Richmond Has a Distinguished Visitor

SDoc" will' be more than pleased to welcome all his old friends with that familiar smile and "We have it, and we deliver free and freely." The editor of "Timely Tips" extends the glad hand to the "Dear Doctor."

! POINTERS ON BROILERS G

FEED REQUIRED FOR ONE GALLON OF MILK It takes three pounds of grain, four pounds of hay, twelve pounds of corn silage and four pounds of straw in actual feed to enable a dairy cow to produce a gallon of milk. In addition to this, it requires 12 minutes of man labor, which includes feeding, milking, bedding, etc., and one minute of horse labor, besides approximately four cents for overhead expenses, including equipment, dairy barn, interest on investment, etc. These figures, compiled by C. R.

George of the dairy extension staff of Purdue university, cover more than two years of extensive investigational work in Porter county, where a big dairy business has been developed for the Chicago market With hay figured at $20 a ton. grain at $30, silage at $8 and straw at $8, man labor at 30 cents an hour and horse labor at half that, or 15 cents, it would cost 24.1 to produce a gallon of milk, or $2.83 for 100 pounds, the basis on which producers sell to distributors. This cost would be reduced somewhat in certain parts of the state now because of the lower prices of hay and grains. The cost of the gallon of milk, based on the foregoing

prices, is divided as follows: Grain, 4.5 cents; hay, .3 cents; silage, 4.8 cents; straw, 1.6 cents; labor, 6 cents; horse labor, .2 cents; overhead, 4 cents. "While it is impossible to set down any exact figure on the cost of producing milk, because of fluctuating prices on feeds, we do know definitely the amount of feed required per gallon and we can tell accurately by taking into consideration the price for the various items," said Mr. George. Farmers of the state are showing unusual interest in cost of production figures as well as straight production problems, and considerable valuable data has been obtained by the university the last few years, not only on the cost of producing milk, but also on beef and perk and the various field crops.

Full breasts, broad backs and plump bodies make attractive broilers. To grow plump broilers, crowding in the brooders must not be permitted. In feeding market stock first give such food as will develop bone and muscle. Then feed for fat. The breeder who ' grows his chicks to three or four pounds in the shortest time is the one who finds the largest balance to his credit when the year's accounts are closed. Yellow skin and legs do not necessarily donate quality of flesh, but our American markets do not want white-skinned and dark-colored legs. When dressing poultry for market take extra pains to remove all the pin feathers. There is nothing that will make a carcass look so distasteful as a lot of pin feathers, especially if they are of dark color. Ful-O-Pep Growing Mash makes earlier maturing chickens.

TIMELY HINTS

Keep garden crops free from weeds and well tilled these days. It's lots easier4 to kill the weeds when they are small.

Late celery and cabbage may be set now. Plant plenty of each. Good home gardens are going to be valuable parts of the home this year. Squash may still be planted with success. Use the small hubbard if the seed can be obtained. Tomatoes ripen better when grown on a trellis or stakes. They can be set closer together in the rows than when allowed to spread

over the ground. Keep plant aphis in check by using some tobacco preparation. Insects that eat the foliage must be kept in check by spraying, with a poison they will eat, like Paris green or arsenate of lead.

Arsenate of Lead Spray Will Kill Grape Pests To destroy the grape rootwonn,

'cultivate the vineyard during early

June, the United States depart

ment of agriculture advises. Spray the vines as soon as adult beetles appear with arsenate of lead, 1H pounds of powder or 3 pounds paste to 50 gallons of water or 50 gallons of Bordeaux mixture if fungous diseases are present. To destroy the grape leaf hopper spray in late June or early July, when the nymphs of young insects are most abundant. Use 40 per cent nicotine sulphate, one-fourth pint to 50 gallons soapy water (2 pounds soap), or with 50 gallons Bordeaux mixture to control fungous diseases. Hit the lower sides of the leaves forcibly. Keep Two Hens for Each Member of the Family The average novice can reasonably expect to get an average of at least 10 dozen eggs per hen per year from his small flock in the back yard. On the basis of two hens to each member of the family this will give 20 dozen eggs a year to each person, which amount is

j about halfway between the average

ot tarm ana city consumption. No backyard poultry keeper should be satisfied with less than this, say poultry specialists of the United States department of agriculture.

According to several recent court rulings it is not a crime to steal liquor. Well, perhaps not, but it seems to us that it's an awful dirty way to treat a man.
