How a Mortgage May Became » I'seful Device—<Juei"y? What Is a Dodger?— I a >a n in g Borrowed Mney.
An assessment puzzle has been presented to the state board of tax commissioners by a northern county, and the board has declined to try to solve the problem. The matter has been referred to the attorney for the ctninty concerned. The county assessor put the question hypothetically, thus: “I own a farm of 160 acres. I mortgaged it to a trust company for $2,000', giving a mortgage. 1 lend the $2,000 to my neighbors, and take notes for the loans 1 list the notes with the Kjwnship assessor, and deduct my bona fide indebtedness, evidenced by my mortgage to the trust company, leaving nothing to tax as far .is the notes are con-■ ■cerned. “I then take my mortgage to ’hej county auditor and get an exemption of $700 allowed by law. The township assesslar has listed my land at $2,000, and I subtract the exemption, leaving only $1,700 on which to pay taxes. Is that kind of transaction permissable under the law, or is it merely a means of avoiding payment of taxes?” The county assessor said the hoard of review had had a number of cases similar to this. The land lowners borrow money from the trust companies and lend the money to their neighbors at an increased percentage, netting a profit on 'he loans, without paying taxes on the notes held to represent the loans made to their neighbors, while taking mortgage exemptions on the assessment Uf their real pieperty.
JOHN KERN IN INDIANA.
A Washington View of the Indiana Senator.
Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Braekney has received a letter from their son, Roy Braekney, who is a sailor on one of the United States battleships, now at Sweden. The letter is very interesting and tells of the sights seen by a United States sailor in Copenhagen Denmark. The following is the letter in part: k Copenhagen, Denmark, June 1, 1911. “Our six days’ stay at Copenhagen, Denmark, has expired, much to the regret Of both officers and sailors. During our visit in Copenhagen, both sailors and officers were entertained with numerous receptions and other affairs, both aboard the ships and on land. Liberty time was granted and I spent every other day in Copenhagen, which is the most beautiful city I have ever seen. ‘‘The city of Copenhagen resembles our great metropolis New York, with the exception that they are few buildings over six stories high. The streets are kept aoruptiously clean, contrary to the average foreign city. The people all are of large stature and there seems to be little sickness. Everybody is obliging and did all they dbuld to make the stay of the United States sailors a pleasant one. "The working men of Denmark receive small play, but as it costs little to live, they are almost as well off as their fellow workers of the United States. The Danish people seermd to be surprised at the amount of nnkniey carried by the average American .lackey. When a young woman was asked what her opinion of the American sailors was, she replied: 'All Americans stem to be good looking, have small feet and plenty of money.’ "Last night, we were treated to the most beautiful scene I ever hope to witness. The sun does not sot here until after 10 o'clock in the evening at this time of the year. Last night, it was 10:46 vvhtn the sun sank below’ the horizon, and ii was twilight until midnight, Then came a beautiful display of fireworks. The flrew’o-ks display together with the thrilling glow of the Northern Lights, made | a scene to he forgotten. The dark- | ness lasted less than two hours. A | li'tle after I o'clock the 'lawn of | day began to drive away the darkness and soon ‘Old Sol’ could be seen coming up over the Danish hills. We leave here this evening, (June 1st) for Stockholm, Sweden.”

Citizens have acquired the habit of looking for their ads and seeing what the local men have to offer, and those who advertise special articles for certain weeks increased sales indicating that the advertising brings good returns.

BEAM DOWNROITt OE SUNDAY MORNING SAVES MANY FIELDS OE CLOVER, l«OTATOKS AND CORN—WHEAT HARVEST BEGUN.
OAT CROP IS A FAILURE
The rain early Sunday morning came as a life saver to many fields of grain and was nfore than welcome to the farmer. Although it came too late to help either the out or wheat crop, the rain saved many fields of clover, potatoes and corn. The meadows also badly needed rain. Many of the farmers of Putnam county commenced the wheat harvest on Monday and all fields will be harvested by July Fourth. This is exceptionally early for the wheat harvest. It usually does not start until the first of July. Although there was a lack of moister this sr"''ig. the wheat is extra good. The heads are well ^lUd and the grains are plump and at. Several well known farmers have stated during the past few days that this year's wheat crop in Putnam rtounty will excell the wheat crop of the county for many years, past. A few weeks ago a complete wheat crop failure was predicted. However, the grain withstood the lack of moisture admirably well and little bad effects are to be se< n from the drouth. However, the Dat crop did not fare as well. There are few fields in the eounty that will be harvested. Most of the plants are too small to cut and will he used for pasturage for hogs.
The uew Uni led States senator from Indiana, John \V Kern, while an ardent Democra', bus long been noted for hit* chivalri • altitude toward his political opponents. Much interest attaches to Uis appearance in the senate, says Leslies, us he has been singled Out b> the press as the personal spokesman of William J Bryan, his running mate i:. ikos. During the last twenty years he has been one of the foremost lawyers in Indiana, engaged in much of the important litigation of the state Entering actively into tse political game thirty years ago, he has been a tireless advocate of the principles of his party. He served two terms as reporter of the supreme court, one term in state senate, and was for several years city attorney of Indianapolis. In IIHIU and again ii 1904—the latter year at the solicitation of Judge Parker—he was tht Democratic oominee for governor, and, while defeated in iA>th contests, ran far ahead of the ticket, in debate he is a master of satire and sarcasm and in the late campaign turned these weapons against the "Young Man Eloquent,” Sena’or Beveridge, effectively. He is a warm personal friend of former VicePresident Fairbanks and upon bis return from Denver after his nomination for the vice presidency it j was Mr. Fairbanks who welcomed | him home In behalf Of the citizens of Indianapolis.

MAN! CHILDREN ON HONOR ROLL
T\VEVTY-SIX 1*1 1*1 s Vi' SECOND WARD SCHOOL NEITHEK TARDY NOB ABSENT DURING THE PAST SCHOOL V EAR.
THE AVERAGE ATTENDANCE
As shown by the attendance, the 'city r 's schcOlB have passed a prosperous year. There is no better sign of interest, energy and health in pupils than regular and punctual attendance in school. Other conditions being equal, the attendance of the pupils is a measure of the efficiency of the teacher as compared with the efficiency of other
teachers.
,The attendance has a business side. The money secured to maintain the schools by public taxation is lost if it does not purchase that for which it. is spent. The object sought is general iut: lligence. Much of the money raised to secure this end, is paid by people who have no children in the public schools. Their chief reward must be had from the pleasures of living in cultured OSnimunities, and from the safety of their property among intelligent people. The larger the per cent, of young people that grow up in intelligence, the better is the taxpayer's remuneration. What he has realized the pa.-t year may be seen by the following: The average daily attendance for the year was 97.1 ptr cent, of the number actually belonging on the roll. The eniDllment for the year was 95 per cent, of the enumeraration taken last April. The per Gent, of attendance by school is as follows: high school. 97.6: District No 1, 97.2: District Ntj.' 2, 97.4: and District No 3, 97.1. In the matter of freedom from infectious disease, No. 2 was • he most favored and No. 3 the least favored of the district schools The following schedule shdws by districts and by grades the standing of the grade sctHols:
No. 1 No. 2 No. 3 .94.4 98.5 ' 98.1 .96.6 97.5 97.2 .98.6 97.0 97.8 .97.3 96.1 95.7
Grades 2 and 1 at District No. 3, in the months of January and March suffered most from measles and whooping cough. Cut ffowr by disease in these months to 98 per cent, and 93 per cent, these pupils came up the last two months with 97 per cent, this shows the spirit. A large number of pupils were neither tardy nor absent while members of the school the past year. Their names constitute what is generally called the "Roll of Honor." It shall not be so named here; it is uo exclusive. The teachers report, that many pupils who fell short of a perfect record of attendance, failed by but little, and that from no fault of their own. Names hi I’upiis Neither Tardy Nor
Absent.
