RANDOLPH TAXPAYERS ARE TOLD ECONOMY WILL LOWER TAXES WINCHESTER. ' Ind.; : Jam 9. Explanation of ax assessments and land appraisals was made at a county meeting held in Winchester Saturday, at which county authorities and J. J. Brown of the state tax commission were present. The meeting was well attended, about 175 farmers of the county being present, and much interest was shown, the members of the audience asking many questions of the speakers. Mr. Brown stated that reduction of taxes will be wholly dependent, upon communities themselves, aa a large part of all tax money is spent in the same communities in which it is paid.
He advised that counties and townships call a halt on new road building and schoolhouse construction until costs are readjusted or old obligations discharged. If improvements are still continued, axes will remain high, he said. . .. . Reduced Valuations In answer to questions as to probability of reduced valuations, Mr. Brown said some small reduction might- be possible, but it could not be large without raising the tax rate, ts a fixed amount has to be paid in taxes, either by suitable rates or higher valuation. Randolph county taxpayers plan another county meeting within the next three week in connection with the township and county taxing authorities and it is expected that some member of the state tax commission will be present again at that meeting.

FARM LOAN
(Continued from Page One ) that the joint-stock land banks are not operated for tlie benefit of tho farmers but for purely speculative purposes. He calls attention to the fact that under tho law as it now stands a joint-stock land bank can issue tax-exempt bonds in an amount not to exceed 15 times its capital stock.
"I know of one Joint-stock land bank
which pays one of its officials a salary of $25,000, and another official $24,000," Mr. Dunbar said.Last fall congress authorized jointstork land banks to increase the interest bearing rate on their bonds to 5 percent, and Mr. Dunbar opposed such action at that time. .
"There never would have been any request made for a 5VS per cent bond if it had not come frrfm the joint-stock land banks. It did not come from the
WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 9. That the task of being a wife and mother should be numbered among the learned professions and taught in the high schools and colleges is an idea that seems to be steadily gaining ground. It got another recommendation the other day when Dr. Simon Katzoff, a well known psycho-analyst, told the Bridgeport Board of Education that it should immediately establish high school classes for the purpose of training girls in the difficult business of being wives. He said that American girls get no training at home in this line, and that therefore the schools must giv it. He placed all the blame for divorce and the general failure of marriage on the ignorance of American girls. Apparently Dr. Katzoff was concerned chiefly with. the girl's position as wife rather than as mother, and his criticism of the American wife contained nothing new. He simply hinted what every international observer has stated, that the American woman is a tyrant in her home, and the American, man the most petticoat dominated man on earth. In the typical American household, the husband
is deprived of a large part of his per
sonal liberty in the matter of his associations, engagements and habits.
His wife's wishes are presented to him, not in the form of requests, but
of demands. et the average American male accepts this situation phil
osophically. For one thing, he has been trained to feminine domination
from early childhood, for the American youth is ruled by his mother far more than by his father, and he is commonly enslaved by his elder sisters as well. It seems quite natural to him to have his wife take a similar attitude of ownership. In some cases doubtless he would feel lost without it. Certain it is that he is generally shocked by the way a
! German or a Frenchman treats his
wife, while the Oriental attitude of re
garding her frankly a3 an inferior seems horrible to him. Woman's Opportunity. Doubtless the American attitude is in many ways admirable. It gives the woman an unusual opportunity to realize herself as an individual and develop any abilities she may have. For a woman of good character and intelligence it is an excellent system. But the flaw in it is that the American tradition does not demand enough of the woman to justify the large amount of freedom she is given.. The American girl today, stepping out of high school or college, faces a wealth of opportunity, such as women have never enjoyed before in any age or country. It is true that she has certain legal disabilities, and that she is apt to be paid less for the same work than a man. But her sisters are organized to remove those legal disabilities and her situation in all sorts of work is steadily improving, while there are few things in life from which she is barred by her sex. She can get as much education as any man. Science and medicine both offer her opportuities of which many women have
already availed themselves. In journalism, literature and the other arts she
already enjoys almost a3 much success and influence as men. Business opportunities are open to her on every hand. She has almost as much social
freedom as a man. She can and does travel and go about alone, and choose her own associations. The chaperon and the escort play just about as large a part in her life as she wishes them, to play, and no larger. This creates an ideal situation for the woman of brains and energy, who wants to enter a profession or business, wno has a definite craving for independence and self-development. There are many thousands of women in America who have availed themselves of their unusual opportunities to the full, and who present to the world a heartening spectacle of feminine achievement, and independence. But the great majority of women do not strongly crave achievement and independence, nor have they any considerable capacity for it. They probably do not differ in this respect from the great majority of men. But the man is subject to a different tradition." Even though he has no strong original bent, custom ordains that be must train himself for some kind of work, that he must get a job and make a living. Custom demands no such thing of the woman. If she does not feel any interest in learning and working, she can stay at home and be a lady. She can "go into society."
Ana . ummateiy, or course, she can
marry. Only Wives Untrained.
Now the strange part of it is that this marriage is a business which is
supposed to require no training what- m.j jpn RaA
ed under one governing head and any loss sustained by one of them is
shared by the others, while any profits .
made by one of them are shared by all. "But in the joint-stock land bank system," he added, "a bank may fail and the other banks are not responsible for the failure." And in the event of such a failure, he said, there would be the stigma of bonds having been sold that might be worthless, that people had purchased thinking there was a government guaranty of payment behind them. Says Public Misled "I say," Mr. Dunbar asserted, "that the public is misled when a joint-stock land bank bond Is bought with a government exemption, because the government is in no way responsible for the payment of the bond and because the money received from the sale of it may be diverted to purposes other than aiding the farmers, for whose benefit the bank is supposed to have been organized." In discussing the treasury department appropriation bill last week in the house, Chairman Madden of the appropriation committee stated that there are now 12 federal farm loan banks, with 4,200 farm loan associ tions, which are subsidaries of the farm loan system. And there are 2S joint stock land banks. There are $520,000,000 of bonds of the farm loan banks and joint-stock land banks outstanding; $420,000,000 of those bonds have been issued by the farm loan banks and $100,000,000 by the joint stock land banks. Work Successful. "The work of the farm loan banks
i has been very successful," Chairman
They have made prof

its which have enabled them to reduce the obligations of the banks to the government by about $2,500,000. The original amount of money invested in
mercies the destinies of one man and three or four children are to be trusted, requires no training whatever, according to the American custom. Most of the training her mother gives her is designed to teach her how to catch the man, not how to take care of him or raise his offspring. The high school teaches her French and algebra, and the finishing school adds music, classic dancing, and tea-pouring.
It istrue that she may find in either!
of these places a course of instruction known, vaguely a3 "domestic science," and it usually consists of a little instruction in cookery. But of the realities and difficulties of married life, of the science of raising and educating children, not one American girl in a perience. No doubt many of them are doubt the bright ones learn from exthousand is ever taught anything. No brilliantly successful wives and mothers in spite of everything. But America leads the world in divorce, it has a very high infant death rate, and it also, we are told, has the worst home cooking in the world. Would a fouryear high school couse in the business 'of being a wife remedy these things? Students of the subject seem to think it would help.
The present investment.
due to repayments, is about $6,500,000.
The farm loan banks receive about $4,000,000 annually in interest on th loans they have made. They have $4,000,000 of surplus and undivided profits. The farm loan board acts in the same relation to the farm loan banks that the federal reserve board sustains to the federal reserve banks."

federal loan banks," Mr. Dunbar said. At the time the joint-stock land banks were asking for, and obtaining, an increase in the interest rate for their bonds, the federal farm loan banks disposed of $40,000,000 of their bonds bearing only 5 per cent interest In a speech he delivered in the house last fall Mr. Dunbar said: "I think the joint-stock land banks
ought to be put out of existence and that the federal farm loan banks should function in their place. I do not believe that the joint-stock land banks have any place in our economic system. He then called attention to the fact that federal farm loan banks are unit-

Home Games For Children How mothers and fathers of Richmond may make their homes interesting and attractive for the little tots during the indoor season. By MISS MARGUERITE SHARRETTS Recreation Specialist of Community Service
Game for Children from 3-6 Years . Rabbit in the Hollow The baby hides behind a chair, or in the corner, while Daddy or Mother sing or say: "Rabbit in the hollow, sits and sleeps Hunter in the forest nearer creeps. Little Rabbit have a care Deep within your hollow there, Quickly to your home you must run, run, run." As the second line is sung, the "hunter" creeps about as if searching for the "rabbit" and continues to hunt until the words, "run, run, run," whereupon the chase begins. Now and then the baby may be the "hunter" and the parent the "rabbit." Two Games for the Boys Stick Wrestling. Two sit on the floor, toes against toes. A sturdy. stick
or broom handle is grasped by both players and at a signal each tries to pull the other over. Cock Fight. Two players with folded arms hop on one foot and endeavor to cause the other to lose balance by brushing against him. The player first touching the floor with two feet loses. These two games are great fun for two boys, or even girls, if the players are about the same height and weight. . Puzzles Here is a good way to interest the children on rainy days. Get out the discarded picture postals and cut them into many irregular pieces. Then have the children fit them together. The same may be done also with advertise
ments cut from the backs of old mag-
t azines. Give a prize of an apple, etc..
to the child who completes his puzzle first. Charades Suggestive words which may be dramatized by the family in the evenings after dinner: Galveston: A girl appears wearing a vest. One act, Gal-Vest-on. She may do as many antics as she likes. Pupil: Act. 1, Pew, people sitting in church singing a hymn. Act 2, Pill. Bring in a large pill and make attempts to swallow it. The whole, a child and the teacher. Kansas: Act 1, Can, some one carrying, dragging or wearing a can. Act 2, Sass; impudent remark to another. Top Knot: Act 1, Top; spin a top. Act. 2, -A wedding ceremony. Ather suggestions: Runabout, chestnut, Milwaukee, Pansy, Pilgrim, ideal, handsome, lamplighter, baseball.
