TAX DISPUTE is ENDED
81 United Press

81 United Press
CONNERSVILLE. Ind. March 25
This years tax rate for Corners
vile was set at $3.50 Thursday by
the Fayette county tax adjustment
board after months of dispute and
rate setting.
During the legal time for rate
making last fall, the board set the
rate to compy exactly with the S1.5O
tax limit law. Pleas from the city
administration caused the board
Thursday to add 40 cents to the
previously set 32-cent civil city rate
and so cents to the original 38-cent
school rate. The rate was $30S last
year.

and I don't believe bottled beer can
be sold at that price.
"A price of IS cents bottle prob
ably will be necessary, although l
understand that some breWeries will
have a six-ounce bottle that can be
sold for 5 cents"
It is not only for his own business
that Stair is glad for the return OF
beer. In his opinion, which also is
expressed by others intimately &C
quainted with the old days, drink
ing should be done in the open.
Il believe that in the course of the
next few years we will find the re-
turn of the saloon, but not the kind
that brought about prohibition"
Stahr asserted. "a high grade bar,
operated under government license
and with strict regulation, is GER
tainly to be preferred to the pres
tent-day speakeaSy.
Nobody wants the dirty, dark,
politically controlled saloon to re-
turn, but there is no objection to a
place of business operated by a
business man with high regard for
law and order, who is offering for
sale what people want to buy"
Neither does Stair see cause for
criticism of the alcoholic content of

COUNTY CHIEFS
DEFY COURT ON
SALARY RULING
Prepare to Appeal Order
Directing Money for
Juvenile Court.

The Marion county council Fri
day decided to defy salary man

structed Charles Clarke. county at
torney, to prepare an appeal from
the order directing the council to
appropriate s1980 for pay to two
juvenile court bailiffs.
Special Judge Howard S. Young
issued the mandate Feb. IL in suit
by Peter ROLLS and William White,
bailiffs, whose salaries were slashed.
Juvenile Judge John F. Geckler
today declared court salaries are
below the levels of two years ago
and that juvenile court work has
increased 40 per cent in the last
three years.
More Officers Needed
THE number of juvenile court Of
ficers is inadequate and is less than
the law provides" Geckler asserted.
we are entitled to two more proba-
ton officers who have not been ap-
pointed. The council is not con-
versant enough with juvenile work. p"
Request of John McCloskey, Cen
ter township assessor, for $5,178.52
to hire deputy appraisers for a re-
appraisement of Center township
property, as ordered by the state
tax board, was approved by the
council.
Feeling the city should, and prob
ably will, consent to sharing in the
$4,000 cost of special election of
delegates to the state convention
for repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment, the council deferred discus
sion of this appropriation.
Poor Relief Bonds Approved
1t was pointed out the "skip-elec-
ton" law relieved the city of neces-
sity to pay for the regular city cleo
ton scheduled this year, and that
there is approximately $4,000 in the
city budget for that purpose
Also deferred was a $350,000 issue
of tax anticipatory bonds, the coun-
Gil feeling that taxes may be paid
in time to obviate the need for more
funds not indicated.
An issue of $186, 961 20 in notes for
poor relief was approved and a
$4,295 supplies request from the
childrens guardians home will not
be acted upon until funds on hand
are spent.

Meteor Explode NedrEdrth

Kansas City, when I first saw the
meteor. At first 1 thought it was
a flare, but as it gradually came
closer knew it was meteor.
Il tried my radio. 1t was para
lyzed by interference. The ball Of
flame grew nearer, travelling west
to east, almost horizontally, and a
about the same elevation as my ship
The light was intense, Temporal
lily binding me, although it was
forty or fifty miles north.
1T looked big as a hangar-al-
though that may be eXaggeration
and a tail of debris extended 70 to
100 miles behind, like you see in a
picture of a comet.
The center was more intensely
red, fading to lighter colors that
burned brilliantly blue around the
edges"
While Coyle was watching it, the
meteor appeared to crash to earth
in a burst of flame that could be
seen for miles, he said.
Coyle estimated the meteor fell
forty or fifty miles north of ANA

ABANDONED CHURCH
MAY BE BEER BAR

Promoter Pledges Back Tax Pay
ments in Return for City Permit.
PEOTONE, Ill, March 25.-Henry
Monk plans to turn the First Evan
gelical church building into a beer
emporium" if the Peotone city
council will give him a permit to
sell the beverage after it is legalized
March 7.
The church building has been
vacant for several years since the
congregation consolidated with an
other. The city bought the building
and used it for a time as a school,
house.
Monk has offered to buy the
building and pay up bcak assess
ments, if the council will permit him
to sell beer there.

the beer which will be available
after midnight April 6. It's alcoholic
content of 80 is close enough to the
brew of former times, he says.
Most of the beer I handled
ranged from 3.75 to per cent alco-
hol," Stair says. 1T was claimed
sometimes that the alcoholic con-
tent was greater, but I always
doubted it."
But Stair declared that one thing
will be missing from his bar, if he
obtains a license and serves beer
again.
There will be no free lunch.
No Lunch Counter
Cant afford it." Stair stated
The margin of profit on barreled
beer was large enough to permit the
free lunch, but it can't be done with
bottled goods
Across the street from Stairs
place one may find LATE Weathers,
now manager of the Edwards hotel,
but for many years manager of the
Claypool bar.
Weathers recalls the days when
the Bates House, now the Claypool
charged 10 cents for a glass of beer
and held the distinction of being the
only place in the state where such
a price prevailed.
The barber shop there, operated
by Louis Reibold, charged Is cents
for shave, while other shops were
content with dime.
Kept Hotel Exclusive
The de luxe prices were part of
a plan to keep the Bates House
exclusive, frequented only by the
upper crust" With numerous
saloons in the vicinity where a
foaming schooner could be pur-
chased for a "jitney," the Bates
house had no trouble in controll-
ing its crowds, according to
Weathers.
Weathers recalls an incident
which occurred in the Crystal Pal
ace, popular bar on West Wash
ington street near Illinois street.
There was politician who per-
sistently wore a high hat of the
style known as plug hat Since
it was not usual around Indian
apolis, he was distinguished easily
in crowd" relates Weathers.
"One day in the Crystal Palace
he ordered round of drinks for
every one present. The bartender
noticed only that the top hat
wearer was the purchaser. A few
minutes later the politician traded
hats with friend and remained
at the bar, while the friend de-
parted.
One on the Bartender
When the time came to settle
the bill, a puzzled expression came
over the bartenders face. Pounding
the bar, he shouted:
Where the blankety- blank is
the guy who bought these drinkS?'
he pO1GlCldl was nOb TeCOg-
nized as he stood few feet from
the bartender
Old-timers also like to tell the
story of the jokester with party of
friends who asked if the bartender
knew how to make 'tin-roof cock
tail" Nothing daunted, the bar
tender fixed a connection, which he
placed before the party.
After the drinks we're gone, all
started to leave, but we're stopped
by a rqueSt for payment.
Why. thought you knew what a
tin roof is" the joker said. Its
always on the house"

GARDEN DRIVES
STARTED IN 100
INDIANA CITIES
Many New Projects Listed
and Others Expand
Over 1882.

- y . tWFfN ~ VfftNf
LAFAYETTE, Ind, March 25.-
Upward Of 100 cities in Indiana,
large and small. will have COM
munity or industrial gardens dur
ing the coming season as a means
OF cutting down expenditures for
relief and also provide employment
for those out OF work.
This is nearly double the number
engaged in organized relief work
by the garden route last season, &C
cording to H. E. Young of the Pur-
due university horticultural extern
sion staff, who is heading up the
statewide movement for relief
gardens.
Approximately thirty cities had
relief gardens under township trus-
tees supervision last year, and about
twenty-five others had relief gar
dens of one sort or another" said
Mr.. Young. This year we find that
practically twice this number have
adopted organized projects and that
wherever the work was conducted
last year it is being extended this
season.
Busy in Evansville
Evansville, which had a large
community garden last year, will
have more than 200 acres under
cultivation this year, besides about
$500 home gardens; South Bend re-
lief gardens have been increased
from about thirty to more than 200
acres; Terre Haute will have more
than 100 acres in a community
garden and Richmond, which had a
very successful garden last year,
will have more than 100 acres this
year.
Frankfort's garden will Jump from
forty to eighty acres, and Gary,
which had an outstanding garden
project last year, will increase its
size.
Among the new cities listed are
Cireensburg, Portland, Fl n X in,
Connersville, Seymour, and many
others, which are working out
garden projects.
To provide suitable seed for these
organizations, Young and the gov
errors commission on unenploy-
ment relief have worked out a
garden plan for the guidance of the
home gardeners and also a seed list
which will enable the single lot
gardeners to use land to best adj
vantage.
Seed List Arranged
This seed list, which includes
beets, beans, carrots, lettuce. par
snips, radishes, spinach. sweet corn,
Swiss Chard, and turnips, providing
crops for use during the summer
and also for canning or storage pur-
poses, has been let on contract
basis to one of the leading seed
firms of the country.
This firm will provide a packet OF
seeds containing all these vegetables
in sufficient amount for a lot SO
X $50 feet, at cost of 2234 cents
a packet, or Al cents for two pac-
kets. Notice of the price has gone
out from the Governors commission
to all relief officers, so that they
can purchase this seed if they wish
and distribute it to users at cost or
free, if they desire.
Many communities are raising
funds for purchase of this seed
while in others the township truS-
tees will provide them to the men
who are on relief, but will have
garden space of their own" said a
statement from the commission
named by Governor Paul V. Nc
Mutt.
The seed offer is open TO any
relief organization, public or pri-
vate."

Further Soil Tests
 Devised For State
Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station An-
 nOunces Advanced Microchemical Study

New Haven, Feb 10.-Further microchemical soil tests that will enable the farmer to save money by purchasing fertilizer with more knowldge of what his soil needs for certain crops, were announced to-day by the Connecticut Agricul- tural Experiment station. The tests were perfected by M. k. Morgan, in charge of the station soils depart- ment, who q year ago published methods for conducting his first tests.
 "In this time of great emonomic stress, the use of fertilizers, man. ure and lime on each field should be guided by specific requirements of It's soil, if no fertilizer is to be wasted, or if labor and expense are not to be dissipated on a crop that fails through improper soil treatment" Mir Morgan said. By means of these tests, the station can now offer a greatly improved service in the diagnosis of soil deficiencies and abnormalitics."
 Tho new tests are for the deter minatlon of potassium, magnesium, manganese, and iron. These arc uuucd 10 MT MOrBHHb ' euruer tcsts for soil reaction, phosphorous availability. nitrate nitrogen, ann monia nitrogen, active aluminium, and replaceable calcium.
