If Your Haf finkIes- ifs Gus's

Gus Schmitz doesn't know if his happens to be popular size or his choice of hats is irresistible but he's lost three hats within two months - in all the best places, too.
 Somebody walked off with his hat at the Elks Club two months ago, He has his name in it, he said. The next disappeared at the Country Club, and the third vanished last Saturday night at the Moose Club.
 Sunday Gus had to have Gee Casler let him in the mems shop to buy a new hat for his Sunday dinner date. Gus is thinking of putting a bell on this hat so the next guy will at least tinkle as he walks away with it.

Sen. kefauver Talks in Reply To MatArfhur

SEATTLE, Dec. 5-tR-In a talk billed as reply" to General Mac Arthur, Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee declared last night that "a strong United Nations" is the worlds "only real chance of pre- serving peace"
 "The only way to win World War IT," he added. lis to prevent it." The crime e-investigating Demo- cratic Senator addressed the Vest ern Washington Jefferson Jackson Day dinner.
 Turning to the domestic front, he warned against the danger of the growth of crime and cor rIption," and asserted honesty
 in government is certainly not the
 monopoly of any political party"
 Democratic party leaders had listed the speech as a reply to General MacArthur's bitter denun- citation of Truman Administration policies in his Nov. 13 address at the opening of Seattle's Centennial celebration. The move for reply" developed after some Democrats and labor leaders criticized the political tone of the Generals ad- dress at the civic event, although it had drawn enthusiastic applause from the crowd that heard it.
 MacArthur declared the Admin istration's foreign and domestic pol- icies are leading the country toward ] third world war and financial ruin.
 Kefauver, who may seek the Democratic nomination for pre- sident, praised the administra- tion's policies in the Korean cri- sis. He told a press conference yesterday that if he decides to seek the nomination, he will do so regardless of whether Presi- dent Truman decides to run again. The Senator told reporters he plans to "appraise the situa- tian"a further and announce {. his < decision early next year.
 The $25-a-plate Democratic crowd of more than 500 last night gave it's fullest applause to the several barbs the Senator tossed directly at the former far eastern comman- der.
 Kefauver asserted:
 'It Is interesting to note that your Centennial speaker did not mention the United Nations once in his speech-and yet he was the first commander of that great army of the United Nations.
 "TO me this indicates either lack of understanding of the role of the United Nations or . path etic display of vanity.
 "This Is not MacArthur's war. This is not the United States war. This is free men everywhere say ing to Joseph StaIln. Thou shalt ot trcspass again."

Selling of the Noble county home, near Sarahs-
vile, is causing controversy thruout the county,
with some of the opinion that the county should
hold on to their investments and others standing
pat behind the action of the commissioners

Thursday, Feb. 22, according to haywood Love,
chairman of the board of commissioners. The
home, equipment, furniture, etc., will go on the
auction block at 1000 o'clock on that date.
In statement released today by Lemuel
Moore, superintendent of the county home, excep-
ton is taken to the selling of the institution Mr.
Moore feels that if less money spent on relief
and some of those receiving aid were placed in the
home, the picture might be different.
In his statement, Mr.. Moore said, "The COM
mssioners gave as reason for disposition of the

what they pay out?"

What they pay out!
In conclusion, Mr.. Moore asked the question,
rs the county home an institution for the county
to make money or is it institution for the county
to take the old young that unable to care for
themselves? AS | see it, if the county home has
been losing money for several years, it would look
the citizens of Noble county to investigate my
record thoroughly which you will find at the audi

as planned and the county home will be sold on
February 22.

The complete ruling of the
tax board, as received by
Auditor Jack Wilson, is as
follows:
This day this cause and mat
ter came on to be considered by
the Board of Tax Appeals, and
the Board being fully advised in
the premises, finds:
THAT the predepression value
of real property in Noble county
in the year 1929 was $40, ,7G0, ,43e.
"fhat valuations were reduced
in the years $780,, 1881, 1882,
1884, 1885, 1886, 1887 and 1898;
the total of all such reductions
amounting to 379oN of the 1929
valuation. ...
''That valuations remain
practically the same until the
year 1949 and that in this year
there was an increase of $4l4,-
$50 as a result of so-called re-
appraisal.
"That the 1850 valuation of all
real property in Noble County
is $7,377, ,420 as evidenced by the
abstract of real property for
Noble County for the tax year
1850; which amount is 58.959o of
the 1929 valuation.
''That at a hearing conducted
before the Board of Tax Appeals
under date of January Is, 1851,
it was ascertained that the real
property in this County is act
ually unequally and improperly
assessed for taxation. Although
the three County Commissioners
of Noble County, Ohio, were re-
quested by the Board of Tax
Appeals to attend said hearing
on January 18, 1851, said Com
missioners did not appear, nor
did they furnish any reason for
their failure to appear.
"That the inequalities in valu
ations in the various classes of
real property within this County
cannot be corrected by ordering
a horizontal increase or decrease
in the aggregate valuations
thereof, for the reason that such
horizontal increases or decreases,
as provided by Section 56l3,
Ohio General Code, would not
correct the inequalities existing
in the valuation of individual
parcels of real property, but
would merely highlight said in
equalities.
