TAFT Plays the Game Fairly.

President Taft is man who plays
the game fairly-who puts right
above politics, and the peoples pros
perity above personal glory. Under
his administration times have grown
better than they have ever been.
With his reelection the outlook will
be still brighter.

Many willis Tax Delinquents..

A large profit is in sight for the
state of Ohio because of delinquency
in the Willis tax by great many do
mestic corporations. Under the pro-
visions of the law this tax must be
paid before October 1 and failure is
subject to fine of Is per cent on the
annual tax in addition after that date.
According to figures at the state treas
urer's Office only 5,305 of the 11,668
domestic corporations have paid SO
far. This leaves about $1,500,O00 to
be collected and IA per cent additional
on this amount would give the state
a profit of 100000.

Many Farmers Not Making a Llvln

-
Columbus. - Many Ohio farmers
are not making living, scores
of the states churches in rural
districts are dying because too many
of them, of different denominations,
try to find support, and social life
has almost ceased to exist in some of
the poorer counties-these are part
of the findings of the Ohio rural life
survey In an investigation of re.
ligious, social and economic condi.
tions in Ohio by reports recently re
ceived here.
The survey was made during the
summer under the direction of the
department of church and country
life of the Presbyterian board of home
missions. DIR. Warren H. Wilson was
in charge. Associated with the Pres
byterian workers are a great variety
of individuals and associations.
Sixty men who have worked in the
field are now making their reports
| The field covers the following coun
ties, picked to give as wide a scope
as possible to the investigation:
Western Reserve-Geauga, Ashta
bula.
Eastern Ohio-Wayne, Holmes, Co
lumbiana, Harrison, Guernsey, Mus
kingum, Licking.
Ohio Washington, Athens
Vinton, Lawrenc, Adams.
Southwestern Ohio-Hamilton, But
Ter, Preble, Darke, Montgomery.
Northwestern Ohio-Defiance. Al
len, Hancock.
"Of course" said Hermann Mors,
of DR.. Wilson's staff, in charge of th'
compilation of the results of the SUI
vey, "it is impossible to deduce iron
the reports any statewide conditions
We are simply finding what condition
are In certain localities.

Hurts Rural Social Life.

Columbus. = The telephone, rural
delivery, automobiles. growth Of
cities and labor saving machinery are
among the principal causes which con-
tribute to the decline I'm rural social
life, according to data in the hands Of
Secretary A. P. Sandles of the state
board of agriculture. For the pur-
pose Of gathering information to be
used in an address he is scheduled to
give before the Farmers national
congress at New Orleans, November
7, Mr.. Sandles mailed list of ques-
tions to dozens of men prominent in
business and educational circles in all
parts Of the country, He has received
many answers. Because of automo-
biles and street cars, it is argued, that
many from the rural districts seek
their social life in the cities and towns
which now easily may be reached be-
cause of the advantageous modern
means of travel.

Bank Stock Value Increased.


Shares of live banks in Ohio have
increased in value in the last year
1921, 1888, according to the assess
ments of banks as announced by the
state tax commission. On the face
of the figures, it appears that there
have been increases, amounting to
$5,719,713 and decreases amounting
to $3,042,072, net increase of $2,677,.
GAL, but the liquidation of three banks
in Cincinnati and one in Columbus
lost $4,554,342 to the tax duplicate
or S1,512,270 more than the total de-
creases. The difference in the actual
decreases and the loss by liquidation
S1,512,270, added to the increases
reaches the sum of $7,231, 1888, which
is the real increase on the live banks

THIS is AGE OF CONCRETE
Remarkable Effects Produced In Park
Improvements In Our Large
Cities.

(. Park pavilions and other structures
for gardens, cemeteries and country
places. especially such works as open
colonnades, pergolas and peristyles,
and shelter-houses, are often made OF
some form of concrete. Probably the
most extensive use is made OF this
material In the South Park system of
Chicago, where the large field houses
ia the dozen or more small parks are
made Of monolithic concrete that
blends we'll with the landscape. In
Washington Park in this system there
is also a %boathouse of granite con
crete" q reddish combination made by
the park engineer.
: A very handsome structure OF this
class from an architectural standpoint,
.is the City Park pavilion in New Or
leans. made Of artificial stone. it
takes the form Of a peristyle Of the
Roman Doric order. placed in an i'm
posing site overlooking the lake from
which landing can be made by flights
;;of steps at either end. The structure
is 60x160 feet.
