BOY is KICKED IN
FOREHEAD BY HORSE

A serious and very painful ac-
cident happened yesterday after
noon to Mr.. and Mrs. Knud Feldt-
moses little FIVE year old boy.
Paul. at the farm home north Of
Askov. when he was kicked in
the forehead by a horse.
The boy was out in the yard
playing with his sled and when
his father came driving with the
bob sled he tied behind. An old
horse wandering loose in the yard
kicked up and landed on the boy,
evidently frightened by the small
sled behind the bobsled. A very
deep and serious wound was i'm
flicted high on the forehead. The
boy has remained conscious and
hopes are held out that the acct
dent is not as serious as it may
appear.
The accident happened about 5
o'clock in the afternoon.

BULBS AND TUBERS

This is the time of year TO look

quently lose their plumpness and
show signs Of decay. All decayed
parts should be cut off and the
bulbs changed to new storage in
clean sand or dry ashes.
"Gladiolus corms should also be
attended to now" says Mr.. Sando.
The corms may be cleared of the
bulblets and stored separately il
this has not already been done.
Look out for any brown spots on
the bulbs for they may be mani
festations Of diseases from which
this fine Towering plant suffered
so much last season. Do not
plant gladiolus in the same plot
of ground used last year.
Look over your cannas now:
see that none is shriveling. Cover
more carefully il there are any
signs Of whitening. Do not d.
vide cannas or dahlias yet. Do
not rush winter Towering bulbs
into hot dry rooms too soon. Keep
them moist. but not wet. until
they get a good root system.
When they have grown two or
three inches take them into more
light and warmth. but do it grad
ually."

These recommendations are be-

2. That all fees be paid into
the general revenue fund.
3. That in every township a
summary tax statement for the
previous year be prepared in de-
tail for the March election of
township officers; and that the
same procedure be had on
school district taxes at the an
nual school meeting.
4. That building and improve
ments planned be postponed I'M
til at least one-half of the money
needed for such purpose is avail
able. Exceptions to be made in
emergency cases. such as replac-
ing public buildings destroyed by
fire or tornado.)
5. That governing boards be-
fore finally submitting to the
voters of their tax district the
raising of funds for new build
ings, be required to submit an
estimate showing as nearly as
possible the amount Of additional
taxes each property holder in the
district would have TO pay.
6. That full publicity of pro-
perty valuations given the asses
sor be had in the community
where it is assessed.
That where there is duplica-
ton in the work Of certain Off
ces the offices be combined and
increased work be taken care Of

grand larceny and false pretenses,
on which cases he has never been
tried. It was indicated that Henry
would probably be turned over to
the Indiana authorities.
According to Mansfield and
