BY the Associated Press.
The Indiana law of 1929 imposing
heavy license fees on chain stores was
sustained as valid today by the Supreme
Court.
The law was attacked on the ground
there was no proper relation bstween
the number of stores and the business
conducted in applying the tax, and
that it had no real relation to public
health and safety.
The State claimed 1t was a rational
tax, operated equally and evenly and
was valid. Justice Roberts in rendering
the opinion said the court held the
classification was good and the tax
valid.
Justice Sutherland stated that Jus
tees Van Devanter, McReynolds and
Butler joined him In dissenting. He
said they believed the decision of the
lower courts holding the tax invalid
should have been approved.

Ontario Farmer Claims
to Own Oldest Reaper

Mr.. William Dunn of Hilton Beach.
Ontario, has reaper he thinks about
forty years old. When he dropped in
TO the Office of the Sault Ste. Marie
Star recently he told about it. and
was as proud of the machine as a
man could be. Mr.. Dunn still has the
original paint on his reaper, and
repair bill for the machine of less
than 81 for the whole of the time he
has owned it. He never leaves the
reaper out in the weather, and he
believes in constant oiling.
An interesting feature of the story
is that it was a secondhand ma
chine, Mr.. Dunn buying it in 1903
from a farmer who had used it eight
or ten years. Mr.. Dunn has used it on
his farm since 1908, besides cutting
some for his neighbors, and in all
that time has needed only new
tooth for the reaper, he having
broken one by forgetting to insert
the pin which held the tooth.

The phrase Cheat the hangman"

been applied TO the mere accident OF

half an hour and still showed signs OF
life, so the hangman went up TO see

and discovered that the hooks were
secured by a rope wound around and
under the culprit's body, the whole
device taking the strain off his neck
The ropes were cut off and he was put
up again, when the job was effectively
completed. Johnson had previously
applied 20 the undersheriff for the
privilege of being buried in his full
garb. and if he had concealed the
hooks properly and been more adept
in stimulation he would no doubt have

Forecast of intentions-to-plant are
pretty much in line with the govern
ment report, but if anything indicate
a rather smaller decrease in intentions
than does the government forecast,
the review says. NEARLY every re-
port from more than 40 grain men
and country elevators indicates a 10
to Is per cent reduction in spring
wheat acreage, a sharper cut in dur.
UNI, some reductions in rye paintings
and increases for barley, oats and
feed crops.
Seeding should be general, de-
pending on weather conditions, within
a few days. Some seeding operations
have been reported from around Bar
nesville and Crookston, Mimi, and
grain growers of southern North Da-
kota are making preparations for put
ting in their grain.
Throughout the Northwest there is
a lack of subsoil moisture. In some
districts where there will be large re-
auctions in durum, farmers are plan.
ming to seed about the same acreage
to bread wheat.

shall have done some discing and har.
rowing preparatory to seedin oper-
