BETTER SOILS RESULT FROM
SWEET CLOVER

Besides yielding a larger crop of
hay than other legumes. sweet clov-
or improves the condition OF the soil
and increases its fertility. For these
reasons Il may become a valuble ac.
quisltlon on Ohio farms.
Observations made by the Ohio Ex-
pertinent Station show that the main
roots Of this crop often extend nearly
three feet below the surface. thus
breaking up the soil and aiding in
drainage, especially OF heavy clay
soils. These studies indicate that
more OF this crop than ordinary red
clover lived through the drouth of
1915.
Large amounts OF organic matter
may be added II sweet clover is plow-
ed down even eight months after
seeding, Because It is a leguminous
crop, store of nitrogen may also be
added when II is given a place in the
cropping system.

Assessor, DOnahey's Advice-Would
Have Tax-Payers Appear I'm
Person With Returns

State Auditor Donahey will not de-
bate the question OF whether tax as.
SCISSORS should be appointed or elect
ed He would do away with the as.
sesors.
Members of the special joint tax
alton committee of the general as
sembly, appointed to draft the new
tax law, last night heard the novel
plan of the state auditor to have ev-
cry taxpayer go in person to a town
ship clerk, village clerk, city auditor
or the county auditor every year to
make his tax returns.
Not only would this save the tax
payers thousands of dollars by doing
away with assessors salaries, Dona-
hey says, but 1t would produce more
correct returns. At the end of a spec
flied time the complete list of returns
should be published in one newspap-
er of general circulation, and every
person who failed to make his return
should be subjected to a penalty of so
per cent, in the state auditors opin-
ion.
Oher suggestions were:
That deeds filed with the county
recorder contain the sum paid for
the property or have appended to
them an affidavit setting forth the
consideration.
That taxpayers list in connection
with their taxable reurns also all the
property which they regard non-tax-
able,so that the list may be examined
by the county auditor to make sure
all of 1t is non-taxable.
That the personal property exemp-
ton be raised from 500 to $500 in
case of heads of families.
Tha tax on mortgages be paid by
the mortgage in the county where the
morgaged property is located, and
that mortgages furnish to the taxing
the name of mortgage.

son WEEDS sTEPMoTHER
[From Wayerly Watchman ]

From WaYerly Watchman
The editor of The WRtchman has
brother over in Jackson who is a
Justice of the Peace and who the 9th
er day. was called upon to marry a
son OF his step-mother.
The young groom's father was
married three times, the son, who
now weds his step.mother having the
distinction, also, of shooting, aeci-
dentally, his first step-mother. The
father again married, the third and
last time, 19-yearold girl, the we'd
ding taking place in 1912. Now
comes the son, aged 81 and as above
stated married his step-mother, aged
"a. The Jackson Sun thus comments
upon the recent marriage:
'Williard's father, Jacob Houser,
married the winning bride, five years
ago. (Three) children were born to
them. Hence willard holds the
singular position as step father of his
half-brothers, husband and son OF
his steplmother and his own step
father. If children should be born
to this couple the gets" would be
half-brothers and half-sisters to their
own father, step-grandsons and step
grand-daughters of their own mother,
and half-brothers and half-sisters
and nephews and nieces to the other
Gee whilikens! and these are not
all the complications, either, that
may be figured out.
