AS AN EDITOR SEES iT The editor of the North Manchester News-Journal, in commenting on the proposed highway around the souta 31 ' side oi Lake Wawase£, says it appear: ridiculous for persons living around the lake or owning prop perty there to stand in the was of the improvement. He sees the great beneiit which would come from such an improveu . road. His article follows: "People who have had occasion to drive along the souta side 01 Lake Wawasee'from Vawter Park to Syracuse will rehdily agree that the. road needs improving, and as much as Kosciusko county profits from the strangers with in her gates during tae sum me. season she can probably arford U improve this road even with t greater profit than will conn from some of the roads that art being improved. Certain it _ would that the people alonj the lake- those who have pro perty there, and those who depend upon people coming there for the income and value of theii property could hardly .afford t> stand in the way of improving this road, which, as it stands to day. keeps many people from wanting to drive that way." o TUBERCULOSIS SEAL SALE The Tuberculosis Seal and Bond sale in County this year was the most successfu ever held. The total receipts ii the county amounted to $897.80 of which $224.45 is to be given t< the state organization, leaving t sum of $673.35 to finance county tuberculoapf work.

Four of these township committees have already met and their program will be presented at the next regular meeting of the township organization. The Countv Farm Bureau has also appointed a pro gram committee to work in conjunction with the various* town ship units and to bring the various township programs to gether into cne countv program County Agent C. A. Jacksen is cooperating in helping formulate the program. o HEN 14 YEARS OLD Al. Kalquest, who resides in Petaluma, Calif., has a Plymouth Rock hen 14 years old, which is still laying regularly, and in addition to furnishing an abundance of eggs each year she hatches two broods of baby chicks. She is as good a mother as a layer, and Kalquest says is worth her weight in gold. The bird is active, healthy and gives promise of living many more years. — —o The pupils of the eighth grade gave a valentine party on Wednesday night

TAXPAYERS OF INDIANA ARE ALERT How each dollar of taxes collected in Indiana in 1922 was spent is shown by a diagram prepared by William C. Harrison, secretary of the state board of tax, commissioners, and which has been published in pamphlet issued by the Indiana Taxpayers association. The diagram, based on the latest available statistics, clearly shows the part or per cent of each dollar paid in taxes that is absorbed by the various government expenditures. It is of par ticular interest to the taxpaye? because it siiows where the op portunity lies to obtain material results in tax reduction through the practice of economy in publk expenditure and it shows when *he results of economy can no' be expected to affect taxation t< the <a.ne degree. The diagram shows the d&tri hution of the 1922 Indiana ta? dollar as follow?: Roads $ .2'

Cities and town government exclusive of schools and reads 2» Township government ex- t ch sive of schools and , roads I 1 Common Schools 3< State Colleges JK Benevolent and Correctional in-H tut tons 0 State Government O'.

C. Ng>aum, cf Indianapolis, formerly f Warsaw, special counsel of the ;tate board of tax commissioner? n a statement analyzing the dis 'ritution shown of the 1922 tax iollar. Although undoubted!} here is waste and extravagance n the expenditure of funds ir U the division. 4! as listed by Mr ’arrism and the smaller divi ions nfust not escape the axe or taring knife where extravagance ind waste is found, he declared hat it is obvious if any large avings arc to be made they must ome from the large budgets foi (Muis, county, city and town go-; ernments and for the common j nls. He ’lso pointed out hat. 11 cents on the dollar ex-1 end d for county, government ! xclusive of the schools and oads expenditures, seems large; md would indicate possibility if. some reduction in that di recion. The pamphlet states that the 'ndiana Taxpayers association is i non-partisan, state wide organisation of the taxpayers to pronote the interest of every taxpayer, both large and small, and hat it has a membership of 10.HX) taxpayers in 62 counties of the state. Os these counties 27 lave formed county associations ind organizations are being r ormed in the other counties. Harry Miesse. Indianapolis tax ’'Xpert and secretary of the state association, said it is planned to iave experts exa vine the situation both in state government and the countie;;.. the results of •vhif'h will oe published by the issociation from time to time. It is planned, he said, for each ■ mipty association to app< int a legislative committee which with the officers of the state associa'iem augmented by attorneys and tax experts will meet at Indian-, apolin while the state legislature s in session to scrutinize all proved tax laws, anprpnriatirn hill* and the making cf the state budget. Mr. Miesse emphasized that it I not the purpose of the assneia 'ion to cripple or hinder the legitimote functions of good govemnent hut it is prop* sed to attack 'Vtste and extravagance in public expenditures wherever it may he found. !♦ has been repeatedly demongrated, said Mr. Miesse, that nn group or class of taxpayers standing alone can hone to accomplish much in obtaining tax relief but that when all taxpayers, large •'nd small, the manufacturer, the ’brmers, the corporations and the •alaried man join hands in a common demand for economy in public expenditures then taxes will he reduced. o NOTICE TO INCOME .

POULTRY BUSINESS GROWING LN STATE Lafayette, Ind., Feb. 11.—A decided increase this winter in the number of hens and more egg production and chicks hatched next spring is indicated by re plies of 63 county agents to a questionnaire recently sent out by Prof. A. G. Philips head of the Poultry department at Purdue CJnivcr<ity. It was also indicated that with some exceptions, farmers are obtaining more eggs thjs year than usual and are not \vc-rying about the problem of m ice of eggs and ever porduction poultry. . According ta the replies of the 'ounty agents, the increase ir the number of laying hens over last, year is between five and ter ler'ccnt and the expected inteas? in chicks abr-'t the same nore than 40 of the replies indi Tting an increase in both henxhd chicks, and less than ten ir ’ach case indicating a decrease The Harrison county agent esti rated a 27 per cent increase ir ’aying hens and a 25 par cent ncrease in chicks in county AU but eight of the agent? predicted more March and Apri ? hatched chicks than last year as i result cf the educational and 'xtension work being carried or hv Purdue. This will mean mere “.11 eggs next ’year. Better feeding and housing condition have enabled the farmers to obtain more eggs this* year than is isuallv the case. While the replies to the ones ’onmire indicate a genera! cnUmistie view of the nnultry and erg, situation by the farmers throurheut the state, there are •everal counties where the farmers are*hot keening more hens, hut are decreasing production ’'.ecause of the lower prices. i o HUNTING SEASON CWSED > A-cording to an announcement if George N.

HORSE SHORTAGE The impending scarcity of horses is the big problem occupy-1 ing the minds of the Kosciusko| county horse breeders today. Horse breeders claim that farmers should raisie enough horses to keep -their work horse supply, = but point out that these horses, should be draft horses and good; ones. Quality draft horses are ini demand in cities at advancing j prices. There is no market for scrub stock. The Kosciusko county horse men point out that horses are a farm product; that they last twelve years in work; that they create a market for grain; that they are dependable under all conditions; that they provide a flexible working unit ' and that their selling value after a few years cf use is high. They point to the report of work done at the Indiana Experiment Station where a survey was made of profits on 74 farms, half of which used tractors and horses and half of which depended upon horses exclusively. In 1919 farmr depending exclusively on horses for farm motive power made more than S9OO per farm more than those using tractors. In 1920 the difference was more than SBOO and was again in favor of farms using horses exclusively. — o BETTER MAILING WEEK Postmaster General New has designated the week of February 18 to 25 as BETTER MAILING WEEK. It is estimated that 200,000,000 pieces are yearly given “directory service,’’ which means that postal employees must take time from the regular handling and dispatching of mail in the endeavor to provide correct addresses for his huge volume of mis-dir-ected matter. In New York City alcne the cost of this service approximates SSOO daily. o SHOOTS BIG GREY WOLF A large gray wolf, which measured five feet and a quarter, Wiis shot by Peter Bowen, a farmer residing eight miles northwest of Warsaw. Mr. Bowen received S2O for his kill, $lO from a fur buyer for the pelt, and $lO from the bounty as a bounty.
