(UP) The Indiana Taxpayers Association today warned Hoosier property owners they will have themselves to blame for "the highest property taxes in Indiana's history" unless they attend local budget review
Sept. 13. "Under the Indiana plan," Miesse said, "citizens are entitled to attend any preliminary cr final meeting where budgets and rates are given official consideration." School board rates will be fixed by city and town boards on Aug. 26, Miesse ' said. He added that final budget action for city councils and town boards was slated for Aug. 30, by township advisory boards Aug. 31, and by county councils on Sept. 7-8. Miesse said county adjustment boards would meet Sept. 13, and citizens "should attend those meetings and object to any items they deem excessive or needless."

5 FOOT FLOCK FEEDER $4.95
JOHNSON SPECIAL PORK PRODUCER has been responsible for some of the most spectacular feeding results ever accomplished in hog feeding. Just this week Mr. L. E. Moore of the Lyons community reported to us on 15 hogs he had sent to the market last week. They were just 4'2 months old and averaged 201 pounds for the lot of 15. These pigs brought top market and were fed on Johnson Spec'al Pork Producer. This feed is complete nutritionally and can be fed from weaning time to finishing out just as it comes from the sack. Some feeders feed an equal amount of corn with Pork Producer after the hogs weigh 100 lbs. Johnson Special Pork Producer has a big variety of Animal and Vegetable protein and is well fortified with Vitamins and Minerals. Feeders are very enthusiast'c about the fast gains and low cost of this feed. Three hundred pounds will produce as much pork as five hundred pounds of any straight carbohydrate feed such as Hominy. Approximately seven hundred pounds of Pork Producer is required to each hog from weaning time to market time. N 100 Lbs. Only $4.30 500 Lbs! Only $21.25 ALL PRICES LISTED ABOVE ARE QUOTED AT PREVAILING STORE PRICES. WE DELIVER EVERY WEDNESDAY.
