ALL FEEL CHARM OF PARIS
Various Spots May Have Particular Application, but There Is Variety
 for Every Visitor.

The fairy tale of Paris belongs to all of us, in whatever terms it may be told. For some it is Marie An toinette and the Petit Trianon; and, curiously, by comparison with q rather worthless queen, the great war pales. For some it is Napoleon in his cooked hat and white brooches, and his great tomb, one of the fingertips of Paris. For still more it is the Bois and the elegance and luxury and beautiful women; and for the rest there is al- ways the particular application-the house where Balzac had his printing press, or perhaps only a great stone wall, symbol of the centuries over which a fruit tree blooms, symbol of centuries continually renewed, writes Muriel Harris in the North American Review.
 Only now and again do we realize that Roman and trank and Gaul; Catholic and Huguenot; artist, priest and warrior; saint, martyr, philoso- pher, midinette. have really our ener- gies in their grip.

Was a Bridue Tender.

There's no fool like an old fool" of course. A week or two ago one of our members of the Leg-in-the-Grave club got caught in a bridge fight that lasted until the small hours. He was not much concerned about it since his good wife, once parked for the night, sleeps on through, or, at least, has the grace not to ask when he got in. How ever, merely as a matter of habit he turned the key softly and was slipping quietly to his room, when the childish voice of his small granddaughter piped up through the open door of her bed room:

NO DOUBT ABOUT GRATITUDE
Any Youngster Will Understand That Poor Boy Was Deeply Appreci-
 alive of Tommy's Gift.

For some time Mrs. Caraway had been endeavoring to instill into the heart of her youngster, Tommy, aged ten, the sentiment of generosity, which it seemed to her, was not naturally present. In this relation she. had been especially careful to commend to Tommy's consideration the son of poor family in the neighborhood.
 One day Tommy came home radiant.
 We'll he said; to his mother, "I gave that poor boy half of the box of candy you bought for me-"
 The mother also beamed. You are a dear little boy" she said. "Was the poor boy grateful?'
 'Yes, ma'am,'' said Tommy; "he was grateful, all right. He came round to the school yard and let me lick him where everybody was looking on.'-Harper's Magazine.

MayiFIy Across Ocean in Glider.

Berlin.-The recent success of Ger man student aviators in motorless avi- ation at Gersfeld has given rise to widespread qualification and scientists already are discussing the likelihood of such aircraft crossing the Atlantic. Observers of the past weeks expert ments assert that if the Versailles treaty had not limited the size of Ger man aerial motors this scientific de velopment in aviation would not have occurred so soon. They find further significance in the fact that the new sail planes utilize vertical winds, which are foes to the present motor hiers. Captain Keller, who is in charge of the aerial service at Staak- en, and Professor Wegener, a flying expert, advances the theory that this type of craft could fly to New York, closely trailing an ocean liner, on the same principle gullS utilize the up going currents above the troughs left by steamships.

Colorado Wins important Decision.
 Durango-By the decision of the U- $. Land Office at Durango, the states title to section 16, township 35 north, range 10 west, is confirmed, which in- cludes any and all the coal deposits which may be in this section of state school land and is one of the most i'm portant decisions rendered in recent years as affecting the title to our school sections.
 This case has been in controversy for the past two years. A decision was rendered in favor of the state TWO years ago by the officials of the land office at Durango, and confirmed by the commissioner of the General Land Office at Washington. Later, on ap- peal, the decision of the local land of flee at Durango and the commission CT of the General Land Office was re served by the secretary of the inter for A protest was filed by the State Board of Land Commissioners with lhe Interior Department, asking that the case be remanded back to the land office at Durango for further hearing, which request was granted, and dur ing October, 1921, the case was tried again at Durango. Evidence of an overwhelming nature was presented by the State Board of Land Commis- sioners at that time, resulting in a de cision in favor of the state.
 This decision will undoubtedly be appealed to the secretary of the inter- for, but the facts in the case are so favorable to the contention of the state as to it's ownership of this sec ton that there seems to be but little question that the secretary of the in- terior will confirm the decision of the local land office.
 This decision is very far reaching, from the fact that it will create pre- cedent that will tend to clear up the title of the state to the coal under meath many school sections in the state, and finally will result in an ex- tensive revenue to the state scnooI fund.

ESTABLISHING TRUE
 REAL ESTATE VALUES
Indiana Federation of Farmers Associations See Oppor-
 tunity to Render Service.

In Indiana the value of real estate
 is established every four years for the
 purpose of taxation, and 1922 is the
 year for such appraisements. Real
 izing the unsettled condition of indus
 trial and agricultural matters, the h.
 diana Federation of Farmers ASSoc1-
 ations felt that there was an oppor-
 tunity to render valuable service to
 those charged with the responsibility
 of establishing the values of farm property by cooperating with them in every way possible. This was the con- clusion arrived at at meeting of county presidents held in Indianapolis February 23, 1922, which was called by the action of the board of direc- tors.
 The plan as laid by those in attend ance at this meeting was to have a special tax committee appointed con- Sisting of one representative from each of the ten farm bureau districts, which committee was to outline a plan of action to be recommended to the board of directors of the Indiana Fed eration of Farmers Associations. This plan as submitted and approved pro- vided for the selection of a county and township tax committee in addition to the state committee, whose function was to assist the local township as- sessor and the county assessor and board of review in arriving at the true cash value of all real estate.
 In practically every instance the as- sessors welcome the assistance ten dered them and in practically every township the appraisements made by the assessors were made with the as- sistance of the committee, or were ap- proved by the committees appointed by the county farm bureau. The county committee sat with the county board of review and rendered such service as was possible in that con- nection.
 At the hearings of the state board of tax commissioners when reports were made by the various counties as to the valuations established, members of the state tax committee and officers of the I Indiana Federation of Farmers Asso- citations heard the reports presented and the evidence from every angle. Through the work of the organization it is very evident that the estimates made by the officials cooperating with the committees of the farmers organ. izations are more accurate and equft able than could have been made by any one individual.
 It is also self-evident that with the facts and figures collected by these committees and presented to the tax ing officials that they are brought to realize the great extent to which real l estate values have declined in the | last two years, which of course proves | the value to the farmers of the service l rendered through the organization. In- | dications are that after all equaliza- tfons have been made the assessed | value of real estate will show a de- crease of practically 20 to 25 per cent below that of the average when last appraised.

Jurys Verdict
Is a Mystery;
Harry's Money

AT least one of the mysteries OF
the Marion county jury room will
forever remained unsolved.

done, but Harry Matocian, an Ar
menian by birth, a Turk by cir
cumstance, and an American by
preference, succeeded In making
the jury in Judge Kelly's court
yesterday believe that at least
$177.50 Of the $4O0 in question
and the cause of the suit between
himself and his two countrymen,
Paul George and G. P. Parseghian,
belonged to him.
1t must have been the result of
the higher mathematics sometimes
employed by juries in awarding
damages and arrived at by taking
the plaintiffs age, multiplying it
by ten and dividing it by the de-
PENDANTS street address.
Anyway, everybody who heard
the case knew nothing more at the
finish than when they started.
But the question is now-Will
Paul George pay the judgment
and will Harry be sport enough
to give 1t back to him to keep him
from going insane?

indicted on the charge of assault
with intent to kill Officer w. w.
Birtchet Of Salem, were drawn
this afternoon by the district at
torney, the county clerk and the
sheriff.
On the new list are Is women.
The possibility of the state win
ming it's case this time is conceded
by court attaches to be good, since
only one juror succeeded in stay
ing the conviction Of Rogers at
his first and previous trial The
drafting Of so many women on the
case places this opinion in doubt.
Rogers was indicted by the De-
cember grand jury after he had
shot Birtchet in a scuffle which
was the result Of a heroic effort of
the officer to place Rogers under
arrest following an appeal for help
made by some members of the i'm
mediate family after Rogers, it is
said, made threats against his
wife.
