who died Sunday at his home near Quincy following an extended illness of heart trouble and complications. Burial was in Coombs cemete-y

near that place.

Truesdale. a native of Putnam county, moved to Quincy from north of Cloverdale about 20 years ago. He had driven a school bus at one time and before his serious illness had been engaged in livestock buying. MECHANIZED UNIT <ronflnu*-(l fnun l*n«r namville barracks have been given their instructions. Eighter.n state police officers will be used to superintend the transport of the troops. At the Putnamville barracks, it win said today that the column will leave Vincennes over road 67 about 8 o’clock Friday, and it was thought, would reach Spencer between 10:30

and 11 o'clock.

Road 67 will be followed to Martinsville, where a transfer to road 37 will b? made, that route to bo follow-

ed to I,ndianai>olis.

The movement of the troops can be watched by spectators any where along that route, of course, but Spencer will be the most convenient for the greater part of the residents of central Putnam county. This motorized “march” of these soldiers was originally announced for Thursday, but, possibly in view Of the traffic congestion on slate roads on that day, the change was

made to Friday.

These troops include units originally from Fort Harrison which have been carrying on training maneuvers in the South and are returning to their home barracks, and also additional units from Arkansas and Louisiana which have been participating in the maneuvers, also, and are being ti'ansferrod f o the Indiana fort. _

A Real Achievement A Philosopher Has Said: "It is not so remarkable that a dog walks so well on his hind legs, as it is that he Joes if at alir The remark just as aptly fits the electric utility — its rate reductions are heavy in percentages, but any reduction in the face of sharply climbing costs is the real achievement!

9.5c of Each Dollar of Revenue Goes to Taxes Government service and facilities, like commerce and industry, have been sorely tried, this past decade. And more support from business, property and individuals has been necessary — support in this case meaning taxes. This Company paid, this month, the semi-annual installment of property taxes for 1939. The total annual property tax amounts to J(285,297. Other taxes, including gross income, social security, etc., bring the year’s total up to #542,633 — all to be set aside from the monthly payments we receive for utility service to you. This huge total tax bill averages out to 59.3 cents per month per customer served! It represents an increase of 11% over our taxes payable last year. And it requires 9.5 cents out of each dollar of revenue from service.

Taxes Up 100.4% ... Electric Rates Down 36.9% Total taxes for this Company have increased. 100.4% since 1932, BUT this heavy added load has not yet blocked the traditionally steady DECRhASP in electric service rates to you. For in the same period, with taxes up 100.4%, our average revenue per kilowatt hour for electric service has gone DOWN 36.9%! Residence service alone is down 30.78% . . . Commercial, down 33.31%. This, in a period during which the prevailing economy has been for higher prices in the interest of prosperity, is a record of which we have a right to be proud. Greater use of electric service, due of course, to its always increasing usefulness, plus thrifty, careful operation — that is the answer.
