WE LIVE, AND LEARN i Well venture to say there is not a garden in all this neck of the woods without a few feet of ground planted to potatoes. And yet we read in an old agricultural report that it took people more than 100 years to discover that potatoes were good to eat In 1728, when an attempt was made to introduce potatoes into Scotland, they were denounced on the ground that they are not mentioned in the Bible and. therefore, unfit for Christians to eat, and because they were supposed to cause leprosy and fever. Ask any of the older citizens of Syracuse and they can possibly remember when tomatoes were considered deadly poisonous and fit only to grace the mantle or center-table for ornamental purposes. The same is true of a great many other things we now eat and enjoy, and maybe in the years to come gardens will contain the very articles we now look upon as dangerous. There is a good deal of truth in the old statement that “we live and learn.” ■ o WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. Howard Bowser were taken completely by surprise on Monday evening when fifteen of their friends walked in and told them they had come to remind them that Monday. June 29, was their fifteenth wedding anniversary, or crystal wedding. They were prepared to make good their surprise and presented Mr. and. Mrs. Bowser with a number of beautiful and useful pieces of pyrex. They also brought several angel food cakes, ice cream and coffee.

INDIANA TO GET $8,®00,000 ■ ■ <= Indiana will have $8,000,000 to spend this year for road improvement work as a, result of the gasoline tax levied at the last general assembly, it was announced today by state officials. The estimate was submitted by Archie N. Bobbitt, in charge of the state department of state gasoline tax collection. In 1924 the state collected $4,925,000 in gasoline tax. This was on the 2-cent basis. This year the extra 1-cent, plus the normal increase in the use of the automobile in Indiana, will increase the total, Mr. Bobbitt estimates, to $8,000,000. Os this total the proceeds of 1-cent of the tax, or one-third of the total amount, which will be about $2,600,000, will be distributed to local units of government, counties, cities, and towns. < The distribution of the money for local road work will be on

March 1. In excess of $5,000,000 of the gasoline tax will be turned over to the highway commission to press forward the great system of state highways, being constructed without one penny of bonded indebtedness. An interesting feature of the gasoline lax is that farmers and others who use gasoline far tractors or other purposes than propelling vehicles that use the roads are now demanding in rebates about $15,000 a month. Mr. Bobbitt reports that in some instances demands for rebates as low as 30 cents, the tax on ten gallons of gasoline, are demanded. In one instance the person demanding the 30 cents rebate spent 25 cents for a notary fee, as all rebate demands must be sworn to. o—; Safety First Tire Patch—fixes blow-outs same as punctures.
