 For some time French and Eng fish officials, and privates as well, have noticed that the dead disap- peared, and that bodies which have been looked for have never been located They also state that bun dies of naked dead have been seen in moving vans which carry the dead and that they are well guard ed.
 The oils and fat which are pro- duced from the bodies are used by the soap makers and in the manu- facture of munitions.

Joseph H. Brewster announces in this issue that he wishes to be public weigher for Greene County.

SIMS ADVERTISES
 TAX ASSESSMENTS
County Official Goes Down Into Own Pocket to Pay Bill, in Order That
 The Public May Know.

Marion Sims, tax assessor for Greene county, has just had print ed notices calling the public's at tention to places where the various boards of assessment will meet, and giving the time for such meetings. The first meeting, as advertised, will be at Beech Grove, on Monday, June 4th. MT. Sims has also or dered that the full list of appoint ments be advertised in The Daily Press and Weekly Soliphone,, be- lieving, as he does, that the public those who pay the taxes-have a right to know where and when the meetings are to be held. Hereto fore it has been customary for the county to bear the expense of such publications, inasmuch as the matter affects directly all the peo- pie of the commonwealth. This year, however, MT. Sims is being compelled to pay the bills from his own pocket. It is decidedly to the credit of the assessor that he has concluded to pay the expenses him. self rather than permit the farm CTS and business men, and others who pay taxes, to be placed in the attitude of not knowing when and where such assessments were to be held.
 The matter of taxation affects a very large percentage of people. They are vitally interested in val uations, and they want to be ad- vised how such valuations are made, and upon what basis computations are arrived at The entire theory of the new law is based upon the idea that residents of each town ship are intimately familiar with property in their immediate neigh borhood, and, for this reason, it is assumed that justices of the peace, assisted by the assessor, can meet at an appointed time and place and deal justly with all. To hold such meetings without notice to the pub lie merely through an effort to save each taxpayer less than the part of one cent would prove ludicrous in the ex- treme
