F Out on the Green Meadows cat. Peter Rabbit. He vas sitting up in the way that Pster docs nit up. You would have known, even at . long distance, that Peter was fairly burning up with curiosity. His two long ears pointed straight up to the sky. He was gazing across the snow covered Green Meadows to the edge of the Green Forest, where little black speck was moving along. That little black speck was Black Pussy ~the Cat. Peter knew who it was. 2That was one reason haeas sT TcuH- s.oue. Black Pussy was ashuntins;aand Peter was very curious as to whom she was hunting.
 Out from the edge of the Old Pasture, moved Reddy Fox. He was Greuched low and he was moving very fast. He was moving straight toward Peter. Now. Reddy knew bet- ter than to think that he could steal up on Peter in the open.

Survivors al Annual
Convention Agree.

1--WE did more tree shaking that
winter, sir, than we did fighting, "
said C. w. Lindley, Bloomingdale,
Ind, president of the Persimmon
Brigade Association of the G. A. r.,
a member of the 117th Indiana at
the annual convention today at Ft.
Friendly. 512 N. Illinois st.
And that started an argument
among the veterans gathered for the
annual meeting. The 115th, 116th,
117th and 118 Indiana Regiments
formed the Persimmon Brigade that
fought in Tennessee during 1863-64.
Ate to Shrink Stomachs
Tee winter of '64 was said to be
one of the coldest on record. The
men were without Government ra-
tions for several months. The ira
dition of the brigade is that the
men ate persimmonS to shrink their
stomachS to the size of the Govern
ment meals. Tree shaking for the
fruit was the favorite pastime OF
the boys in blue.
But perSimmons are good to eat,
and I liked them" said w. P. Van

But william Brewer, 115th NAH,
now a farmer in Greene County,
didn't agree, and refused to argue
further.
Comes From Oklahoma
Andrew P. Miller, Greenwood, Ind,
a member of the 117th, didn't like
to talk about the fights, so he sat
on the steps in the bright morning
sun to get warm.
j. w. James of Jamestown, Ind,
was a soldier in the 116th. and had
his word about the Persimmon
Brigade.
John w. Fowler, 26th Indiana
regiment, was not member of the
Persimmons, but he came from
Enid, Okla, just because he wanted
to talk with the boys beside whom
he fought in the Civil War. II did
most of my fighting around Mobile,

Doubt on Dunn Standing

D0uOt on Dunn standing
Doubt was cast on whether forma-
ton of the county financial program
for next year, approved in the gen.
eral ordinances of today, was legal,
because of rumors as to Councilman
Paul Dunn'S qualifications to vote.
An affidavit charging he is not a
freeholder, and therefore unqualified
was pending before the council, but
not brought up.
AS soon as the money matter were
dispensed with, a motion to ad-
journ sine die was presented and
passed.
The six ordinances passed today,
forming the entire financial pro-
gram, were as follows:
l. Appropriating 81 1,159, ,065 to the
general fund, less certain small
items reduced or stricken out, to-
falling approximately $4,000.
2. Setting the tax rate at $0.325.
3. Providing for a temporary loan
Of $150,000 from the sinking fund in
anticipation of taxes to be collected
in 1929, for current expenses.
4. Providing for a temporary loan
of $S50,0O0 for current expenses.
S. Providing for a temporary loan
Of 100000 fon the common school
fund for use in the sinking fund, in
anticipation of taxes for 1929.
S. Providing for additional appro-
q
on which to operate the rest of 1928,
their appropriations for the year
having been exhausted.
The last of the above ordinances
included $7,760 for additional depu-
ties and $3,325 for seven new auto
mobiles for Sheriff Omer Hawkins.
The general appropriation ordinance
provided for $29, 800 for next year,
with which to hire sixteen addi-
tional men at $1,740 each, for his
proposed county patrol unit.
This means that Sheriff Hawkins,
who also is county Republican
chairman. will have sixteen deputy
jobs to parcel out Immediately, just
two months before election, and for
all of next year.
The majority, consisting of Pres
ident George N. Montgomery, John
Shearer. Paul Dunn and DR.. Soils
Runnells, voted together on all
ordinances. The minority, James
Edwards, Frank Cones and Grant
Moore, voted no on the general ap-
preparations and the additional
money for this year. but made it
unanimous on the other ordinances,
providing for temporary loans.

------------------------- "PAiNTING THE TOWN"
 IS NOW AT PALACE

Painting the Town" the pho- toplay presented at the Palace last night, is without doubt one of the funniest pictures seen here in a long time. It. kept the audience in gales of laughter from start to finish and proved to be excel lent entertainment for all ages and classes. There is nothing subtle in the humor of this photo comedy, nevertheless it's rapid succession of laughable situations, good gags and funny subtitles serve to keep one at the laughing point through reel after reel.
 Credit for most of the fun in this offering goes to Glenn Tyron. a young comedian hitherto little known. In the role of a small town smart-aleck he contributes a continuous stream of comedy.
 Co-featured with Tyron is Patsy Ruth Miller, the heroine of many successful screen plays and an actress who can always be de- pended upon to add to the appeal of picture by her beauty and acting ability. In Painting the Town" she plays the role of a Follies Beauty and is an admir- able foil for the small-town hero.
