Published by the IndependentNews Co. at Walkerton, Indiana. Entered at the post oilice at Walkerton as second class matter. April 7, 1921 IKI il \|. FOLKS SIKH LD WATCH s THIS A new idea- —rural planning—has j been launched in Wisconsin as a state function which we think will be watched with interest by all rural towns and country communities. It is the first of its kind in the United j States. As definefd by law, the planning js for health, general welfare and amenity of the country folks and the creation and development of local community centers for social and business purposes. Committee’s of the people themselves are authorized and with them must work the state department of agriculture, the state conservation commission, state engineer, college —of agriculture, highway commission atyl the state superintendent of pub- ” lie instruction. The more important ~ duties of these committee-com-E missions are defined as follows: = Secure and retain for the public, = as parks and otherwise, liberal bord- = ers of timber around lakes. E Provide for attractive driveways = an/I beautiful places through natural = forests, and improve the general E outlay of highways and driveways. = Plant trees and shrubs, including E nut-bearing trees, along roadsides. = Provide parks and wood-lots in E country, town, village and city. = Secure for farming communities, E villages, cities and traveling public, = camping grounds along highways, E bordering lakes and in forests. = Make school grounds more attractE ive by proper planting of tree, shrubs = and flowers. E Mark anjd identify places of histor- = ic interest. E Discover and retain for the pub- = lie extraordinary geological and I = scenic features. gj’ Secure funds by gifts or other- _ wise and donations of lands, buildings, monuments and other material for any of the above purposes. If possible, secure the services of a landscape architect. Establish social centers in every community in the country. Woodlots of many Hoosier farmers are saved from destruction through , passage of a law by the recent legis-

lature assessing woodlands at $1 an acre , in the opinion of C. C. Deam, forester under the state department of conservation. This law, 1 leant declares, means the beginning of a general movement toward reforestation of the state’s denuded hill lands and lands unfit for agricultural production. Had it not been forthcoming 'Soon, thousands of acres of the hill lands of southern Indiana would in time have been cleared by the owners !instead of permitting the land to grow up in timber, he avers. Briefly the new law provides that owners of woodland tracts who keep said woodland tracts fully stocked with timber producing trees, and do not graze them are entitled to have woodlands assessed at $1 per acre. Tn addition any one who plants cleared lanjdj to forest is entitled to the same rate of taxation. PLAN OPEN SHOP BUILDING Northern Ohio Employers to Act If Men Reject Wage Cut of 20 Per Cent. Cleveland, 0., April G.—Most cities of northern Ohio are preparing to operate on tiie open-shop basis in case the Building Trades council fails to reach an agreement with the employ ers, according to a bulletin issued by the Building Trades Employers’ association of Cleveland. The employers are effecting wage reductions averaging 20 per cent, while the unions have voted unanimously for the continuation of the present scales in all trades May 1, when their wage agreement expires. *‘lf no agreements are reached by May 1 it will be necessary for the association to take united action to reduce wages in keeping with the lowering commodity prices,” W. F. Hennessy, secretary of the employers' association, declared. A Humane Mayor. Talk about Sunday blue laws, here's a decree issued not long ago by the , mayor of a little commune in the ' Pyrenees: “WhereM. the young pee ; pie of the commune are wont to meet I ami dance every Sunday after mass. . and the noise they make frightens the । cocks. hens and al! other animals of the village, we hereby prohibit । dancing within the bounds of the com- ’ mune during thfc hours in which the । domestic animals take their repose. - ’ — Boston Transcript.
