STORM CAUSED
MUCH DAMAGE
THEMES BARN BURNED-OOWN
TOWN EASEMENTS FLOODED
CROPS DAMAGED

A large barn on the J. s. Themes
place on the West side was struck by
lightning and burned, the Matt Bovy
house was struck and the chimney shat
tered and other damage was done in
this city by the electrical storm last
Saturday night. The storm commenced
at about $3.50 p. M, Saturday and last
ed until about 4 a. M, Sunday.
The Themes barn was totally des'
troyed and most Of the contents were
lost, including about four tons Of new
mown hay. An automobile kept in the
structure was gotten out just before
the roof timbers crashed in. There
was no insurance on the barn or con-
tents. The fire department was called
on for aid, but it was evident that eff
forts to check the fire in the barn would
be futile and they confined their ef-
forts to protecting nearby buildings.
A telephone or light pole in one of
the downtown alleys caught fire in
some manner.
merchandise stocks in downtown base
ments, many of which were flooded by
water backing up from the sewers, due
to the heavy precipitation. According
to the government observer, VIM. Bat
tiers, the precipitation was l.3 inches.
The Anderson Hardware suffered the
heaviest loss. A shipment Of about
10000 cartridges received Saturday
were water-soaked, and other goods
were damaged.
Crops were badly damaged by the
hail and heavy wind, although the
wind seemed to hit only certain locali-
ties.

The Advisory Board of the Salvation Army

An advisory board has been appointed to CO.
operate with the local branch of the Salvation
Army in the successful administration of it's af-
fairs. The board will link the work of the Army
to the needs of the community, and by virtue of
it's knowledge of local conditions will be able to
assist materially in the execution of the tasks
which the organization has set for itself.
The Salvation Army has been one of the great
relief organizations of the world and was, per-
haps, the first organized effort to extend the
hand of succor to the man Or woman who had
fallen into disgrace or want. It's work during the
World war endeared it to thousands of young
Americans, who returned home with warm hearts
for the benevolent purposes of the organization.
The advisory board will make intelligent
study of social ills and report cases of economic
and social distress that come under the province
of the Army. 1t will not duplicate work being
done by other agencies, but will cooperate in
offering help to those in distress.
Advisory boards have been appointed in many
counties of Indiana and other states to make eff
fective the program which the Salvation Army
hopes to carry out.

Taxation Reform

The American public hopes that the rumor of
the selection of Gen. Dawes by President elect
Harding to head commission which will reorgan-
ze government offices and methods will material
ize in fact for its results will be seen in a
reduction of federal expenses and resulting de-
crease in the tax rate.
There time when the people paid little
attention to taxes, because, compared with Euro
pean countries. our levies were relatively small,
but the imposition of heavy taxes during the WAY
has taught the public that even very rich ma
ton may suffer under this burden.
All of us know that we pay taxes directly or
indirectly. The man who makes no return may
believe that he escapes payment, but he fails to
notice the payments he makes when he buys
medicines, sodas and countless other things upon
which a revenue tax is affixed. Neither does he
stop to consider that heavy burden is figured
in the cost of the commodities which he buys.
In casting about for relief, the people have
urged congress to reduce appropriations, but the
five billion dollars which already have been ap-
propriatcd shows that little relief may be ex-
pected from that quarter.
A thorough revision of the business methods
of the government also has been demanded as a
remedial measure. The costly method of trans
acting government business in Washington. the
presence of scores of commissions and bureaus
whose duties overlap, the inefficiency of thou

sands who occupy clerical positions, and many
other sources of unnecessary expenditures are
not unknown to the public.
No determined effort to change this system
has so far been made. If President-elect Hard
ing has in mind thorough housekeeping, the
American people will be delighted to know that
millions of their money, now spent without get
ting maximum results, will be saved. Gen.
Dawes possesses the qualifications both from the
standpoint of business and courage to undertake
this herculean task. He will have behind him
the solid support of the taxpayers who want the
government to practice the same economy which
the average citizen is compelled to apply to his
own affairs
