farm BUREAU
Meet APRIL |

The regular meeting of the Ma
Olson County Farm Bureau Legis-
lative Committee will be held on
Wednesday evening, April 1, 500
P. M, in the Assembly Room of
the Court House at which time
methods of improving milk mar
markets will be discussed. Organ
ization and activities of the Cen
trail Ohio Cooperative Milk Pro-
ducers Association will also be
discussed during the evening. Re-
presentatives will be present from
the dairymen and the Central Ohio
Cooperative Milk Producers As
sociation to present their views in
regard to the topics to be dis
cuSSed.
At the last Legislative Meeting,
Mr.. Gilbert Barth, from the Col
umbus Division of the Social
Security Administration, was pre-
sent and discussed how Social Sc
curity would affect farmers if it
were ever enacted. After lengthy
discussion, it was a general con-
census of opinion that the majority
of the farmers present were not
in favor of Social Security for
farmers because ID it would be
compulsory and (2) the farmer
would pay into it, and in some
cases, may never be able to collect
anything from Social Security.
Mr.. Barth assured those present
that farmers would never be
placed under Social Security until
farmers asked for it.
MIR. Cliff Garwick Legislative
Department, Ohio Farm Bureau
Federation was also present at the
last meeting and discussed Person
al Property Tax at some length
Mr. Garwick mentioned that the
Legislative Department had met
with the Tax Division in Columbus
in regard to the time of year that
the farmer must take inventory
for the payment of Personal Pro.
perty Tax. Many farmers feel that
by taking inventory at the end OF
the year, they are charged an un.
fair tax because most farmers are
high on inventory of grain, hay
and livestock at that time of year
Mr.. Garwick discussed the feast
bility of having the farmer take ar
inventory each quarter of the year
and then pay tax on the average
of the four quarters. Most farmers
were not in favor of this because
it would mean too much book.
keeping. Mr.. Garwick concluded
the discussion by saying that the
Legislative Department had come
to the conclusion that since the
farmer only pays tax on 500 o.
the total personal property evalua
ton, it might be best to leave the
Personal Property Tax structure
as it is for the present, because i
could be much worse if the far
mer had to pay on 1000 of thu
total evaluation.
Mr.. Austin Harbage, Chairman
Madison County Farm Bureau

interested persons to attend thes

This is the manager. I am

In the three years that / have

like this.
There is a man at the box
office who says that his wife
is in a car here with another
man. He insists on buying a
ticket and says that he is 60

his wife"
Therefore, we will turn off
all the lights and darken the
screen so that the woman may
leave"
After a minute was up, the
manager informed the pa
irons that the whole thing was
a joke. (de had arranged for
two cars to roar away to give
his patrons a laugh). But to
his amazement-FOUR cars
took off in cloud of dust!

COLD WATER ARMY
We have a timeworn copy
of the Gold Water Army" a
temperance publication print
ed in Boston on July z, 1912.
1t contains story which has
had many variations through
the years but which we think
may have been the original
version. We quote:
"A mouse ranging about
brewery, happened to fall into
one of the vats of beer, was in
imminent danger of drowning,
and appealed to a cat for help.
The cat replied, 'It is a fool
ish request, for as soon as l
get you out, I shall eat you"
The mouse piteously replied,
That fate would be better
than to be drowned in beer"
AS the cat lifted the mouse
from the vat, the fumes caus-
ed the cat to sneeZe and the
mouse took refuge in a hole.
The cat called to the mousey
to come out. "You rascal, did
you not promise that l should
eat you?"
"Ah," replied the mousey,
"but you know I was IN

Next came Have You

and now els It Any Wonder"
All are hits. She's in town now
as the star Of the fioorshow at

this sudden success?
when the record people
first heard me-" she reports.
They all said I had a new
sound. I did a double take and
answered, I do?'
They also asked me how I
developed my style. I an
swered, What style?'
InaSmuch as records with
gimmicks are the only big SELL

Beat 1t, the Cop!
HOLLYWOOD.

The best-known cop in the
whole country right now is
is a fellow who isn't q cop at
all. He's Jack Webb, an ex-
movie actor who tired of poorly
paid sound-stage drudgery and
turned to radio and television
as director star Of MICS i'm
mensely popular "Dragnet"
series.
Jack Webb's dark, serious
face and low-pitched voice are
now SO familiar to TV audi
ences and his performances as
Sgt. Joe Friday so vividly real
istic that he could "put the
finger" on almost any one and
make 1t stick.
A high member of the Los
Angeles Police Department,
from the files of which Webb
gathers his factual material,
summed up Webb's success:
"He looks, acts. talks and even
walks just as the average per-
son thinks a policeman should.
He portrayS him as a hard
working, sincere, honest officer
whose problems parallel those
Of the average person watching
