In the remarkable mistrea tment of the
subject Of the operation Of the 1919 tax
law the republican central committee has
and unadulterated gall has never been
eQualed in the campaign documents Of
Indiana politics. The committee says:
1.-The taxpayers of Indiana may be a
bit surprised to know that the control
over tax levies enjoined on the state
board of tax commissioners by the new
tax law will save them the enormous
sum Of $11 ,617, 03735 in taxes in 1920"
Considerable mental Arithmetic is
necessary to arrive at this particula@
figure and the only wonder is that the
these particular numerals when any
others would have done as well.
When the various counties of Indiana
submitted to he tax board their pro
posed levies they calculated them on
the appraised values that had been re-
ported to them by the various assessors.
They accepted the total valuations for
the counties from the assessors and pro-
ceeded to suggest levies that would bring
into the treasures the sums of money
necessary for the operation Of the several
units.
Then the state tax board revised these
revised the assessments upward, thereby
increasing, horizontally and otherwise,
the value Of the taxables in the various
counties. These increases in the assess
ments were not known to the county

HOW TO MAKE GOOD
Secret of Organization
By T. COLEMAN DU POINT
Reported by c. Forbes, Editor of Forbes Magazine

ueve there are now between $500 and
1900 employees in the main office"
The effectiveness of good organiza-
ton was demonstrated when the IN
fortunate war broke out in Europe, by
the way the Dupont Company responded
to a call for an increase OF output null
tiplied by 100. They have anticipated
many OF their deliveries, although It
did take 10000 men on construction work
mt one time to do It. There have been
no strikes.
How was 1t done?" I asked
"The first thing we did was to ANAL
gamate all of fthe many different com
panies and the scores Of sub companies
controlled by the DuPonts into one cor
pOration. This meant efficiency and econ
omy in every department The consoli-
dated concerns were systematized and
standardized and the best methods put
into practice, departments created and
the managers given responsibility and
offered premiums for results.

Coal Accessibility
Is Business Lure
for IndidndDOLis

Indianapolis has three direct steam
roads to the coal fields OF Indiana.
Indiana is one or the greatest coal
producing states in the United States.
This is another reason why so many
new industries are coming to Indian
apolls. An excellent grade of steam
coal, yielding an average Of 1892
British thermal units a pound. is OBJ
tanned from the Indiana coal fields
at an average haul or only ninety
miles. The freight rate to Indian
apolis on this coal is 90 cents n ton. 49,

the prize does not get the money un-

While in Chicago the winners will be
the guests of Armour's Farm Bureau,
numerous special trips being planned
which will be of great interest to
them. The winners will be determined
on the basis of the rules laid down by
the College Extension Department for

to broaden their knowledge of farm

DRESSING RECIPES.

Whene'er 1 take my walks abroad,
So many poor 1 see,
They wear last seasons ~
Well-pressed gowns.
And hats that remind me
of vintage of another year
And lingerie that once was dear.
1t makes me sad to see the ways
These women have to save
And when 1 stop to bark to them
/ find they Simply rave
About the cost of Everything
Their language has familiar ring:
II cannot keep a cook" they say;
at have to wash my clothes;
The children are quite naked =.
And None but Hubby knows
What will become of us unless
The government gives us some
Re- dress"
It's funny how a woman thinks
OF nothing else but clothes,
My husband is as wise as theirs,
But Goodness Gracious Knows,
1t makes me feel quite cross
With them,-
/ really must confess,
To find these women never think
OF anything but Dress.
oh, Lady, Lady! Why do you act
so brash!
Don't you know that water shrinks
A bathing suit? You show
A lack of conservation of those
charms
We understand are you chief claim
to beauty
When you're sitting on the sand.

The rabble swarmed about the bar
all that were able. Bottle necks
gurgled; glasses cknked; red whisky
sizzled down hot threats; a few shout
ed; some swore; others merely
laughed foolishly. s
The last drink was the Boss's finish.
He wilted down into the nearest
chair; lurched heavily over upon a ia
ing in high, shrill key; occasionally
shouting out note or two of boat
ing song that had been old on the river
for quarter of a century.
1t was early afternoon before the
Pearlhunter dared to think seriously
of deposlting the pearl-before river
etiquette permitted him to remove it
from the bar. He tried to rally the
Boss. All he got was a further in
stallment of the Indian Wars.
Half Disguised with, it all, he
turned back to the bar and stood
leaning his chin upon his hand. A door
opened from another part of the
building-the Mud Hen being an inn,
the only one in the place. A man en-
tered. Crossing the floor with as lit
tie attention to the crowd as if the
place had been deserted, he staggered
up to the bar. Perhaps he secretly
wished that somebody would get in
his way. He had just that air about
him.
The Pearlhunter heard the door
open; felt the hush that fell-ths hush
that always falls upon the rabble at
the coming of a masterful presence.
He turned his eyes slowly toward the
newcomer. His nerves were as steady
as the woods make them, but they
were not quite proof against what he
saw. 1t was the Man-in- the Fancy
Vest.
A look flashed between them. The.
Pearlhunter fancied the other stiffen

tightness creeping into his own spine.
The Blue Moon was still lying on it's
bit of cloth upon the bar, where
| among the river men, it was as safe
as anything Of value ever gets to be
| in the avaricious world. He denb-
erately picked it up and thrust it into
his pocket.
1t was distinct affront. Blood had
run in the Flatwoods for less. The
man facing him started; flushed; his
right hand dipped toward his hip.
The Pearlhunter's body became like
iron electrified; his eyes like flecks
of steel in the fire glow. His hand
had closed upon his pistol butt while
the others hand was still on its way.
Draw" he Kissed. Draw I'd give
the Blue Moon if you would! There's
a twenty-year- score to settle be-
tween your blood AID mine"
A dead hush fell. The more sober
men of the crowd damned doors and
windows, others huddled against the
tables. 1t was a moment of keen ten
sion, Not a man breathed.

other over.
The Pearlhunter had been half
crouched. He Strengthened and took

Their foam at your feet may break,

In the path that your Lord shall

In the morning watch, meath the

You shall see but the Lord alone,
When He leads you forth from the

To a land that you have no known;
And your fears shall pass as your

You shall no more be afraid;
You shall sing His praise in a better

In place that His hand hath

Should Learn to Swim,

That swimming should be univer-
sally taught, especially in the Gulf
Coast country, where there is so much
water, none will deny. Hundreds of
cases are on record where people
have drowned because they did not
know how to swim, while hundreds of
others are in evidence in which lives
have been saved because the person
himself, or some one else knew how
to swim. A case in hand is recount
ed by the Albany, Ga, Herald, which
says:
"a little girl slipped on the bank of
a stream and fell in. The water was
deep enough to drown a grown per-
son, and she was just a Ettle girl.
There was no one near at the mo-
ment, and the little girls mouth was
filled with water so she could not cry
out. What happened? The little girl
swan out. She complained that her
clothes were wiring wet and that she
was in danger of catching a cold, but
there was nothing else to worry
about. Fortunately she had been
taught to swim, and it didn't brighten
her a bit when she tumbled into eight
or ten feet of water. This IS a true
story. There is a lesson in it for the
parents of small boys and> small
girls. Milton Gazette.

THE WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT THE

Mr. Gushing it was mol quite enough 10 make him tell
The whole truth when they got him back the stand

Inc purpose Of boosting the price Of coal Yesterday
he took back that part Of il which applied 10 the coal

10 recall why the government took such an interest IN

it il IS Cushing business 10 know about such things
and if he wants to be regarded an ordinarily hon

PAPER is firmly of the belief, Mr., Cushing and the
whole tribe of wholesalers to the contrary n0TIln-
standing, that if the panic had not been started when when

real coal crisis in a number Of important localities.
The pressure which the people Of The north and Of
New England were able to bring through their state
governments and their representatives in Washington

efforts Of the coal producers and coal consumers up
10 that time apparently had been of little avail but

threats Of political action there was general move,
