RADIO FOR THE FARM

While out but very short time,
the radio seems destined to become
thing of necessity, and to take its
place with the newspaper, telephone
and automobile, as part of the
equipment of the up-tO-date farm.
while looked upon yet as a matter
of entertainment, it has its very
practical side also, and brings those
people of the rural districts closer to
the world of industry. However,
before it can be of the most use for
the farmer, it would seem that the
radio must have some improve
ments, perhaps the greatest of
which would be to overcome what
is called static This condition
makes it well nigh impossible to
hear, and it is stated that static is
in the air when threatening weather
is in prospect. This is the very
time the agriculturist needs infor-
nation worst. He wants to know
when to expect storms, and as to
weather conditions in general to fol-
low. However, no doubt this an
nOyance of static will soon be over
come. We get it from those who
have made the test, that "radioing"
is more successful in the country
than in cities. The reason given is
that wires of various kinds in the
air serve as an interference in the
transmittance of the sound.
In discussing farm development
of the radio, Major General Jos. G..
Harbord, president of the Radio
Corporation of America, points out
that radio makes available for the
farmer market news used by the
manupulator of markets, and gives
him an opportunity to dispose Of his
produce when the tide is favorable.
1t also assures him weather reports
and forecasts, the valuableness of
which is obvious. More important
perhaps than these services, Gener-
al Harbord says. is the dissemina-
ton Of material by agricultural
schools. Many farmers find it i'm
practicable to attend these schools
and so are uniformed on methods
which have been improved and ex-
periments completed. In this con-
nection the radio offers technical
education to those with only a little
time to spare. General Harbord is
an enthusiastic promoter of radio
activities, believing the invention is
second i'll Importance to printing.
Its possibilities in the extension of
education are truly startling.

TAX VALUATION OF ALL
THE PROPERTY IN COUNTY

Morgan county's public utilities
the concerns that furnish electric
light and power, gas, telephone and
TRANSPORTATION services - will pay
taxes during 1923 on a total valua-
tion of s1,567,620, according to fig
ures just compiled by the state tax
commission.
The tax commission's compilation
shows that the total tax duplicate
for Morgan county has been decreas-
ed. Last year it amounted to $18,-
612, $40, while this year taxes will
be paid on total duplicate amount
ing to $1S.076.995.
Despite the decrease in the total
duplicate and also in the valuations
of several of the classes of taxable
property, the total amount OF taxes
to be paid in the county this year
will be more than last year, because
of an increase in the tax rate The
average rate in the county last year
was s22.3S per thousand dollars Of
valuation. while this year it is $22.-
81 per thousand.
The following table, prepared by
the state tax commission, shows the
new and old valuations of the var
ious classes of property in Morgan
county:

THE BIG NEED

There are two subjects that we
have endeavored to write on so
many times, that we are really
ashamed to mention either any
more, viz: Good Roads, and Better
Fire Fighting Equipment. A spell
of bad roads inspires an effusion on
the former, and recent fire the
latter. Since the fire Tuesday morn
ing, the fire has first place.
To those who first discovered the
blaze at the Miller home it seemed
an unusually long time after the
alarm was given before the fire
fighters from this side were on the
scene. We use the term "fire fight
ers'' instead of Fire Company,
since we haven't the latter. The
wonder is that without organization,
they were able to get to the fire as
soon as they did. Every fire demon
.strates more clearly, how much we
need a good fire organization with
proper equipment and facilities Tor
combating blazes. Not since We
Shave had a water system have
things in general been in worse
shape than they are at present. Nc
Connelsville and Malta are scattered
over quite a bit of ground, and it
has not been uncommon to have to
take the ladder truck and hose reel,
close to a mile, and very often by
hand. Is it any wonder that it takes
so long? We have endeavored from
time to time to awaken our people
to the need of having better fire
protection, and usually after fire
it is easy to get some enthusiasm
started, but unless another fire
breaks out soon again, the little en-
thusiasm dies out; and at present
it seems that the fire bell fails to
alarm many of our citizens, and get
them out. We hope that this state
of affairs will be righted before we
have a very disastrous fire, with
perhaps loss of life.
We have those who never fail, no
matter under what conditions or
circumstances, to go and fight fires,
and do mighty effective work. How
ever, in so doing they do it with the
likelihood of running their health,
and at the risk of their lives, and
lar in
the spelling of wearing apparel.

MINISTER SAYS
It HAS NO EQUAL
WIDELY KNOWN BAPTIST d.
VINE PRAISES TANIAAC FOR
RESTORATION OF HEALTH

It is doubtful if there has ever
been a medicine endorsed by SO
many ministers of the Gospel as has
Tanlac. Indeed, there is scarcely a
faith, creed or denomination in all
the land in which one, or more, OF
the clergymen has not publicly ex-
pressed their indebtedness to the
Premier Preparation for the bene-
fits they have derived from its use.
One of the latest to speak out in
this connection is Rev. B. M.
Bridges. a widely-known and below
ed Baptist preacher, residing at
Mooresboro, N. c., whose statement
follows.
"Tanlac has given me a good ap-
petite, toned up my system and re-
|newed my strength in such a graft
flying way that l am glad to recon-
mend it to anyone who is in a run
down condition. For ten years past
/ have had such a severe case Of in
digestion that l could not find any
thing to eat that agreed with me.
Finally I became very nervous and
could get but very little sleep or
rest.
'It seems that I took nearly ev-
erything trying to get myself right
but nothing helped me until | ran
across Tanlac. My nerves are sc
much better now that my sleep is
sound and refreshing. ! enjoy my
meals and have also gained weight
/ can say from experience that Tan
lac is a splendid medicine and tonic
for it has built me up wonderfully. :
Tanlac is for sale by all good
druggists. Over 35 million bottles
sold

THE PICAYUNE LEGISLATURE

Another evidence of sublime
statesmanship has come out of the
legislature. This time it is the
anglers bill which imposes so
cent license fee upon all fishermen
over Is.
Just ponder that. Pretty small
stuff, eh, what? From personal ac-
quaintance with lot of men-and
women too-whO like to take few
houhs off and loaf along the bank of
a stream, we estimate that not one
in a hundred fishes for revenue.
They fish for recreation only.
They don't care what they catch, or
whether they catch anything. OF
course they perk up bit when they
feel a nibble. They share the fish's
excitement when he runs with the
bait And their blood goes wee
bit faster when they hook good
one
But it is not fish they are after.
Tt is a breath of the big outdoors,
the murmur of the water, the drOne
of the unseen life about them, the
feling that, close to nature, they
are enjoying a few hours respite
from the clamor of the city, the end
les routine of the office or factory
And then the legislature comes
along and charges them SO cents for
it! Talk about taking candy from a
child Has the great state of Ohio
sunk to the point where it must stuff
it's already overfiowing Golfers with
money gained from taxing pleasure
and healthful recreation? We think
not. In this, as in lot of other
things, we do not believe the legis-
lature reflects the mind of the peo-
pie.
From the anglers bill, the solons
have now turned their attention tC
two other money-grabbing bills-a
tax on gasoline and one on incomes
Both seek to dig into private purses
with unfair class exemptions. If il
! Keeps on the way it is going-and
Twe see no prospect of change
Nhe present General Assembly will
90 down in Ohio history as ''the
Dicayune legislature"
We believe the most of our peo-
Ale hold about the same views as
expressed by the above which is
taken from the Columbus Citizen
Should such a bill pass, we reckon
