COUNTY COUNCIL tIXES W RATE Levy Is Reduced To The Lowest Amount In The State The Kosciusko county council last week fixed the county tax rate a 19.9 cents on the SIOO. This is a reduction of 4.1 cents over the levy last year. Last year the levy was reduced from 25 cents to 21 cents. The tax rate in this county is now the lowest in the entire state of Indiana. The county is entirely out of debt and has about SBO,OOO in the treasury. It is estimated that at the beginning of the new year there will be between $75,000 and $85,000 on hand, which amount would be sufficient to run the county for an entire year. The council to-day made appropiations totalling $69, 128.27. Os this amount SSOO was appropriated for the purchase of two pulmotors, one for North Webster and one for Milford. There are already three pplmotors in the county. The council also appropriated S2OO for a piano at the county infirmary but refused to make an appropriation of $1,500 for a county agent although it was pointed out by Attorney T. Wayne Anglin that such action was mandatory. County Superintendent E. B. Sarber has SSOO and a petition containing about 500 names asking for an agent. The law says that when twenty or more sign such a petition and raise SSOO an appropriation must be made. The Kosciusko county council, however, has refused to take the necessary steps. Luke McLuke Says The fonder a wonam is of clothes the fewer she wears. As long as a woman thinks thst a man is jealous of her she doesn’t care whether he loves her or not. The old-fashioned tad who used to wear reversible paper collars now has a son who would throw away a soiled fifteen throat doily before he would carry it home. We all hope to meet each other in Heaven. But we’ll be rinkadornatobilitiously jimblatted if we’ll speak to our neighbors while we are here on earth. You do not have to go to a “movie” show to get that rummy effect. Just sit down and try to imagine your wife, the wuss of your heart, the wiff that you like next to yourself, wearing the hoop skirts that are threatened for next Summer. The basques of 1883 are back in style and it is a cinch that the dolman, the bustle and the Ferry Boat hat will follow. We can stand all of these, but for the love of Mike don’t bring back the Whatnot. Once in a while a man gets tb believe that half of the men he knows are grasshoppers and the other half flies. One stops to see where it has landed, and the other gang buzzes around and sees how often it can irritate you without getting busted. When a woman worries mole over her husband’s digestion than she does over her complexion, none of the pay envelope goes into an office building where divorce lawyers have signs on most of the doors. Before he gets her he figures that she is going to live on Love and Kisses. But after he gets her he is always kicking about the bills for Corned Beef and Cabage. There isn’t an awful lot of difference between Patience and Laziness. Payments Deferred “I want some cloth to make my dolly a dress,” announced a little girl of seven as she entered a store the other day. "How much is it?” she asked when the merchant handed her the package. “Just one kiss,” was the reply. “All right,” she said, “Grandma said she would pay you when she comes in tomorrow.”

DIES VERY SUDDENLY CHAS. H. BRANHAM SUCCUMBS SHORTLY AFTER ARRIVAL Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Branham of North Madison, Indiana, arrived in Syracuse Wednesday evening, expecting to make their home here for the winter and the family and friends were shocked by the sudden death of Mr. Brimham, which occurred early Thursday morning at the home of Mr. J. W. Rothenberger, where the family were guests. Mr. Branham had not been in good health for some time but his death, which was due to valvular heart trouble, was very unexpected at this time. The body was sent to North Madison Friday morning. Mr. Branham being a Mason the Syracuse Lodge escorted the family to Milford and W. T. Colwell, as a representative iof the Order, accompanied them to their home. Mrs. B.anham’s brother, C. F. Newsom of Chicago was also a member of the funeral part>. After the body has been laid ti rest Mrs. Branham, son, Charles, ! and Miss Minnie, Principal of oui High school, will return to reside in I the Rarick property. Mr. Branham had been in the employ of the Pennsylvania Rail- ' road Company for thirty-five yeais and was highly esteemed by everyone who knew him. The family I has the sincere sympathy of this ■ community in their sorrow. Big Game in Ohio Ohio big game hunters may not , have to go outside of the state to I pursue their favorite pastime if the plans of the state reforestation committee are realized. Plans are under way to place the 24,000 of unleased and unused school and ministerial lands of the state under the control of the state agricultural commission. These tracts, some of them divided into from 5.000 to 10,000 acres each, will be converted into forest and game preserves. “If these preserves are created, they will probably be stocked with deer, elk and other big game,” said Prof. W. R. Lazenby, of the forestry department at The Ohio State University, who is working with the committee. “The expense of this work will be taken care of by the income received from hunters’ licenses. By working in connection with the fish and game commission, game wardens can also act as fire guards.” A Pleasant (?) Surprise Four or five Syracuse young men and a half-dozen girl friends, with mouths set in watery expectation, travelled to the water-melon patch of Sylvester Unrue, north of town, ohe night last week. When nearly to their destination, the girls fell behind and the boys stealthily approached the anticipated feast. Mr. Unrue however had been notified of their foray and met them at the patch with a shot-gun. He advised them not to run under penalty of filling a certain portion of their person with leaden pellets. They 1 were then ordered to come forward and give their names and other desired information, which they tremblingly did. The boys were then allowed to go. Our informant, did not tell us what became of the girls but we imagine that there were a few speed records broken on that evening. When Cost Os Living Was High •In these days when the head of the family is fretting because of the high cost of the necessities of life, the following which comes from Sedalia, Missouri, will be of interest: A bill of Brandt & Bro., grocers dated July 3, 1869, was found today by Peter Brandt, and is of unusual interest because of the recent increases in the prices of foodstuffs. In July, 1869 these charges were made: Peck of potatoes, 40 cents; five pounds of sugar, $1; two pounds of rice, 30 cents; pound raisins, 35 cents; four dozen eggs, 80 cents; two glasses of jelly, 70 cents; three and one-quarter pounds of coffee, $1; half peck of green apples, 20 cents; half gallon of green peas, 25 cents; pound of lard 25 cents, pound of butter. 30 cents; half dozen ears of corn, 10 cents; six bars of soap, 60 cents; pound of starch, 15 cents; bottle bluing, 10 cents; bottle of extract of lemon, 25 cents; five chickens, $1.15: one ham, $2.60; box of lye, 30 cents.
