Why can’t we invent or devise some other medium of exchange? The reason that we are compelled to stick to gold is that men and governments are so crooked that we pennet trust them. Gold is the one element that it is difficult to imitate and the supply is So limited that it cannot be inflated. Theoretically. there is no good reason why the credit of the Government should not be ample bast* for currency. It would be were it not for demagogues and dishonest manipulators. The temptation to kpep the printing presses running, once they have started to manufacture dollar bills, is too great for human nature to. resist. That's why we have to rely on gold, the supply of which is regulated by nature. Gold is an inefficient and! costly ipethod of regulating the money supply, but it works. As much cannot be said of any other method that been suggested. Governor McNutt has declared himself "unalterably, opposed to the principle of a sales tax,” but “finds the exigencies of the situation force its serious consideration." ~ This is quite a blow to the sales tax advocates even if the governor did modify his statement by talking about the exigencies of the situation. The governor . probably referred to the exigencies surrounding the balancing of the budget of Indiana in which the common man has only a passing interest. The exigency in which the common man is interested is being able to survive, which must mean lower taxes, not other taxes, no matter what their name. Turkey Creek Township may have repri sejitation 5 on either the petit or grand jury of Kosciusko county, since Judge Vahderveer has reappointed Chris Gilbertson, Democrat and Earl Roberts, Republican, of \Varsaw instead of Henry C. Kelly as jury commissioners. For a year and a half no resident of this township has been drawn as juryman, and those last named on the group were Democrat®, / ■ The usual procedure of drawing names for jury duty is as follows: Before the February term of court each jury commissioner places in the black box 72 names of free holders within the county, supposedly of his own political faith. This makes 144 in all. Then before each term of court of .which there are four, 18 names are drawn alternately from the box by' the jury commissioners. Six of the men whose names are drawn from the box serve on the grand jury and 12 on the petit jury for one term of court. The names of free holders originally put in the box are supposed to be representative of the whole county. One would think by the law of probability during 10 drawings for jurymen, that at least one Turkey Creek Township free holder’s name should have been drawn for jury duty, as this township is the second most densly populated in the township. That is, if the names placed in the box were a fair representation of the county’s population. . Os course no one knows, except "each jury commissioner if he made a fair representation of the county in his original allotment. The town of, Elkhart has been seized recently with a spell of law en-

forcement. Every truck that passes through the city is being carefully checked as to weight, licenses, etc. The New York Central railroad pays an enormous amount of taxes in Elkhart, and in Elkhart county, Someone, so the story goes, feared that the railroads are going to be taken over by the government, if business does not improve. Officials have wakened up to the fact that if the government takes over the railroads, no tax revenue will be obtained from these, so the anxiety that trucks comply with the law is the result, they say. The association against the repeal of the 18th amendment has finally come out in its true colors. They want the saloon back, as is shown by their attack bn the resolution for the repeal as reported by the Senate judiciary committee. The resolution retains authority in Congress to ban the return of the saloon—and the Wets claim they won’t have it, that they will be satisfied with nothing less than outright repeal of the 18th amendment. The domestic, farm allotment plan said to have President-elect Roose velt’s endorsement, is not going to have easy sailing this Congress. Representative William R< Nelson, /Democrat from Missouri said that the plan is fundamentally unsound, and that he will, to the best of his ability, see to it that his party does not pay for it. He added further that not one farmer has written to him who favored the plan. I SCHOOL NOTES | I .

The mere presence of the seed tag does ■ not indicate high quality. The Indiana Seed Law is primarily a labeling law that requires that all agricultural seed sold in’ quantities of one pound or more must be tagged. The tag carries valuable information regarding the seed. First of all the seed buyer should go to a reliable seed dealer. Avoid unreliable dealers or mail order houses offering bargain seeds, as well as traveling seeds salesmen, unless known to be reliable. Examine both sides of the label and select seed, high in purity, afid germination, of adapted origin and above | all, seed that is free, from dangerous ’ weed seeds. The back of the seed tag indicates the number of each of the noxious weeds per pound of crop seed. It is not advisable to purchase seed containing such weed seeds as ,j quack grass, doider or Canada thistle, even though only one to the pound. Home grown seed should be cleansed in preparation for seeding. An ’ordinary fanning mill when properly run will do a surprisingly good job of removing waste material and many ‘ weed seeds. When cleaning seed try out various screenes until the coni bination is found. Do not hurry the seed through but clean it slovyly, giving the seed, time to be separated. During the winter much can be done to control weeds as well as insects and plant diseases by cleaning 'up weeds in the field and waste plac- ‘ es. Raking up dead weeds and burning such areas destroy millions of weed seeds and also kills insects anddiseases that make weed patches their winter home. On last Thursday evening Rev. jJarboe officiated in a Baptismal Service at the Church of the Brethren, at which time a number of new members were received into the church membership with the local church there. — Even if you don’t get anywhere it’s a satisfaction to know you did your best.
