DOG TAX rs NOT
LICENSE ON DOG
Former Due May 1 and Lat
ter July 1.

Due to the fact that the public fails to
remember that there are two kinds Of
taxes on dogs, the township tax and the
city license. the city controllers office
at the city hall has been busy for sew
eral days telling people that they are
not delinquent in the payment of the
city fee.
Several days ago Township Assessor
Mike Jefferson issued warning that
trouble was brewing within a few days
for persons who did not pay their deg
taxes, WIFI n became delinquent after the
first Monday In May. From the numter
Of persons who have come to the city
controllers office and attempted to take
out city dog licenses, which are not due
until July 1, deputy controllers believe
everybody must have forgotten there is
such a thing as the township tax. Those
who come to the city hall on this errand
are being sent to the courthouse.

WEIGH CHILDREN
AGAINST PURSES
NEXT THURSDAY
Continued From Page one.)

The excuse offered by school boards of
| the past for not doing this work was
that the school city was. ''broke" and
could not afford to have the work done.
In addition to the regular brick build
ing the school city purchased four old
cheap, rental residences and converted
them into temporary school quarters. If
these four buildings were thrown on the
market today it is doubtful if they would
bring $3.50 apiece and many complaints
have been received of dampness and bad
orders emanating from their cellars
To relieve this condition the board
plans the erection of an eight-classroom
addition and the remodeling of the pres
ent brick structure at a cost of about
$2O5,0O0. This will take care, not only of
all pupils now attending No. 10. but will
assist in relieving congested conditions
existing in aeighboring schools The fact
that there is a bridge over White River
at New York street will make 1t possible

NORTH SIDE BUILDING
VERTIABLE FIRE TRAP.
One of the worst fire traps in the city
Tor years has been No. 80 at Capitol ave
nue. Twenty Eighth street and Kenwood
avenue. This building, according Co mem
bers of delegation of residents of the
nelghoorhood at a recent school board
meeting, has been condemned on three
separate occasions by the State fire mar
shal. The building is overcrowded and
half day sessions are necessary in some
rooms. Two old frame residences on the,

In connection with the Snider q Rotz
and Snider contracts it should be said
that statement made in Fridays article
that the contracts had been declared
Illegal by Albert Baker, formerly attor-
ney for the school board, was incorrect
The contracts were held illegal In an
opinion to the State board Of accounts
by u S. Lesh, attorney general Of Indi-
ana. When the matter was referred to
Mr.. Baker by the board of school COM
missioners he requested that in view Of
the opinion of the attorney general that
another attorney be asked to pass upon
the matter for the board. The board
then employed Merle n. A. Walker and
he held that the contracts were legal

Realtors Furnish
Flat Hunter With
Car In Chicago NOW!

CHICAGO, June 27.-Eight thou
sand apartments were vacant here as
the result Of tenants strike against
high rentals, records at the Cook
County Real Estate Board showed
today.
Most Of the apartments that are va
cant are the ones which carry the
highest rentals.
Tenants have doubled mp and moved
to cheaper quarters In the suburbs to
escape high rents, it was believed.
Renters who used to trudge all over
the city, looking for quarters, arc
now taken to apartment hunting in
autos of anxious real estate operators.
Rents have not yet dropped, but are
expected to soon.

have been converted into school build
ings.
An eight-cIassroom structure is
planned for this site and in addition the
old building will be remodeed and made
safe for the children. This work will
cost about $4,000 unless prevented by
the ten taxpayers.
For twenty years half day sessions
have been the rule at So, Winter and
Bloyd avenues, and not long ago a woman
resident of the neighbOrhood told the
board that almost that long ago school
board promised a new building. This
building is a serious fire hazard and will
require remodeling to make it safe. This
together with a rev eight-classroom
addition will cost about 100000.
Last on the list is No. 81 at East Tenth
and Wallace streets. This Anticipated
old shack, constructed of wood and
stucco, with most of the stucco missing,
came down as an heirloom to the Indi-
annapolis board of school commissioners
from the old days when it was a town
ship school outside the boundaries of
the city. It's four rooms constantly are
full Of drafts, the wind whistles through
it and when a real breeze swings into
action the building rocks in a manner
that would make it seem better equipped
for a training ship than for a school
building in an inland city.
BUILDING ALSO HAS
BAD HEALTH RECORD.
The building has a bad health record
and has been condemned on more than
one occasion Half day classes are nee
essary and even then in order to take
care of the growing number of school
children in a growing section of the city
it has been found necessary to send lot
Of youngsters over to No IS and No. 81
which already are crowded to capacity.
Here the board plans to do some repair
work on the old building and to erect
new tenroom addition to cost about
100000
And these are the improvements that
are being opposed by the ten taxpaying

demonstrators of the Taxpayers League.
Part of their attack is directed against
the bond issue for these buildings on the
ground that the Snider & Rotz and L. A.
Snider contracts are Illegal.
They may be; on that there is consid-
cradle divergence of legal opinion. That
they are iDadvisable is admitted by many
friends of the present majority faction of
the school board; but that the lives of
hundreds of school children should be
held in daily jeopardy of fire for an in
definite period merely because the board
has entered into some Objectionable con-
tracts for engineering work and build
ing advisor services. is incredible. These
buildings are needed more than any other
buildings in Indianapolis, and they
should be built at the earliest oppor-
tunity.

Carlotta Peel is not the sort of char

The truth is at times in the unfold

lotta was a vampire at heart who nursed
her misfortunes and scandal under the
guise Of love betrayals. Her male vic

fatally shot himself in her apartments
Face to face with public scandal she
decides to rescue Emile Diaz, pianist
who had become a nobody after an affair
with Carlotta. Emile was the chap who
aroused all the vampire feeling in Car
lotta while he was playing Chopin at

Paramount was generous in casting

representing an increase of S6,S64, or IA

TOTAL FARM ACREAGE
GAINS OVER 1910.
The total area Of land in farms in 1920
was 955.676.645 acres, as compared with
SIS, 79s. S25 acres in 1910. showing an in
crease of 76.S7S, 900 acres. or 81 per cent
The greater part Of this increase was
reported from the States of the mountain
division. where considerable land has
been taken up for dry farming pur-
poses under the new homestead laws, and
grazing purposes. Outside of the noun
tain States, the three States showing the
largest increases in farm acreage were
North Dakota, South Dakota and Ne
braska
Improved land in farms includes all
land regularly titled or moved, land in
pasture which has been cleared or titled,
land lying fallow, land in gardens, or
chards and vineyards, and land occupied
by farm buildings. OF such land, 5O6,
$50, S01 acres were reported in 1920. as

The increase in improved land thus
amounted to 2s,5S0551 acres, or per

WOODLAND IN FARMS
SHOWS DECREASE.
Woodland, as the term was defined
for use in the farm census. includes all
land covered with natural or planted for

produce, frewOOd or other forest prod
ucts. The acreage of such woodland in
Guided in the farm area in 1920 was
16S. 615122, as compared with 190.S65, 553
in 1910 These figures indicate a de
crease of 2. 25O, 431 acres, or III per

woodland in farms doubtless represents
a part OF the general decrease in the
woodland area Of the country. Farm
woodland, however. represents only a
small part Of the total forest area.
This classification includes all farm
land which is neither improved land nor

THE KNOCKER

After God had finished the raltlesnake, the toad and the vampire, He had some slimy subsance left, with which He made a Knocker.
 A knocker is a two-legged animal with a corkscrew soul, a water-soaked brain and a combination backbone, made of jelley and glue, and where other people have their heart he carries a tumor of rotten principles.
 When a knocker comes down the street, honest men turn their backs, the angels weep tears and the devil shuts the gates of hell to keep him out,
 No man has a right to knock as long as there is a hole of water deep enough to drown himself in, or a rope long enough to hang his old, dirty, stinking carcass with. Judas was a gentleman com- pared to a knocker, for after betraying his master, he had enough character to hang himself, and a knocker has not.-Exchange.
