TWENTY-SIX COUNTIES LACK.
ING TAX RETURNS

Twenty-six of the 100 counties in
Kentucky, either have not sent in
their tax returns for the year, or
have failed to meet increases order
ed by the State Tax Commission, it
was announced at the office of the
commission, in Frankfort. Recapi-
tulations from II others have not
been approved, pending the outcome
of appeals from the assessments
made by the tax supervisors.
1t is regarded here as probable
that some of the counties which
have not yet made their returns to
the Commission were awaiting the
recent decision of the Court of APP
peals in which it was held that the
counties must meet increases order
ed by the Commission. All of the
counties which ''revolted" against
the commission and backed the Fay
cite county suit, are among those
still out.
The counties from which returns
have not yet been received are:
Adair, Anderson, Ballard, Bath,
Bourbon, Boyle, Carlisle, Clark, Crit
tenden, Fayette, Graves, Hardin,
Knott, Larue, Madison, Marion,
Marshal, McCracken, Mercer, Mont
gomery, Owen, Pike, Powell, Scott,
Union and Webster.

Buttercup Seeds as Food.

The seeds of the buttercup are so
small that we would scarcely think of
them as source Of food for human
beings; yet it is said that the Indians
formerly gathered them for that pur-
pose. At first thought, collecting them
in sufficient quantity would seem like
an almost endless task But after
one has seen them growing as thickly
as gTain-as in the cases above re
ferred to. for instance-the situation
takes on a new light.-Los Angeles
