I shalt not covet"— The slaughtering of little pigs and .dumping them into stone quarries, when some people in the country have had no meat on their table for years smelt to high heaven, he said, in giving his opinion of the government’s pig plan. The Senator warned the farmers that they must watch that the proceeds from the gross sales and income taxes, intangible tax and excise tax came back to the counties, all of it, where it could be used for school purposes, instead of being turned into a political slush fund. He also said that there was grave danger that the farmers’ taxing program which was to benefit the laborer, the businessman and the farmer would be repealed by the next legislature. Entertainments. A selection of old folk songs,, played by Rev. Emerson Frederick of the Zion church, upon his harmonica and guitar were well received by the audience. It was announced that Bert Whitehead was selected Friday to serve on the county board which will operate the wheat control program within the county.

LIBRARY’S TAX LEVY INCREASED Appeal Made to Board Causes Them to Raise Levy. As a result of the intercession of Mrs. Will Kindig of the Syracuse I Library Board, the county board of i tax adjustment, Friday afternoon ali tered its decision as to the amount : to be spent for books here, and al- • lowed the Syracuse* Library $1,703 for next year’s current expense instead of 51,591, the amount which had been fixed on Tuesday, last ' week. This act necessitated the raising of ' the tax levy from 4 to‘6 cents for i the town. The township rate was un- : changed, 3 cents. - '■ This change makes the tax rate for ‘ the town $2.41 per SIOO valuation, a cent higher than last year’s levy. > The tax rate for library purposes as it now stands will raise a total of sl,Bll. Next year the town will pay $616 toward the support of the library and the township, outside of the town, $1,195. When the tax Goard went, over the budget the 2nd time it allowed $350 for books and periodicals, a raise of SIOO over the previous allowance. They also allowed SSO for i-epair of building. The library board had asked for sll3 in the budget published for repairs, but on the first hearing before the board the item-"for repairs was entirely stricken out. Mrs. Kindig - went to Warsaw, Friday, to appear before the tax board, because the library board ' felt it was necessary for the. board * to have more money than that allowed. . She obtained a hearing and stated her case. She explained that the li- , brary funds are in restricted bank, ‘ and that bills are unpaid. Seth Rowdabaugh, prosecuting at- , torney, followed Mrs. Kindig’s plea, . stating that he was a property owner in Syracuse, and a tax-payer and t that Syracuse needed a larger library ( than towns of similar size because of . the large lake population served . during the summer. I ' to—- . BASEBALL GAME CALLED OFF; TO BE PLAYED, SUNDAY Three different arguments over i decisions resulted in the SyracuseBenton baseball game being called off, last Sunday afternoon. The Benton team walked off the field in the i Bth inning. But it has been decided to play off the game next Sunday afternoon, here in Syracuse.’ If weather does not permit the game will be played off the following Sunday. « « The "Umpires decisions caused the arguments last Sunday, and next Sunday two neutral umpires are to be the officials of the game. Benton made 11 hits, one walk, one home run, six runs in all, and 3 errors during the 8 innihgs played.. Syracuse made sevenths, 3 walks 4 errors", 5 runs, had one out and two men on bases the last half of 1 the- Bth when the game was called off. Byland pitched for Syracuse and E. Auer was catcher. Wysong pitched for Benton and Bradford was catcher 6 innings and Piper the remainder of the game. IS THERE NO SANTA CLAUS? A well-known business man of Syracuse believes in Santa Claus. Last week he received a letter from a bank in Michigan asking him to sign a check for $l7O, as that was 50 per cent of the amount due him. The bank is being operated by a conservator. It seems that several years ago this business man thought that he had closed his account in the bank, but through some oversight had ‘ left $350 in the bank on a commercial account. The conservator had been writing to the Syracuse business man, who thought the conservator was making a mistake. But the bank was correct. The business man has over S3OO due him, has the check for $l7O, and has escaped all the worry attending a liquidation. ■ . —0 * ' TO PLAY IN SOUTH BEND The White Family Saxophone Band is to play at the Oliver hotel, in So.
