i THE FEATHERHEADS INDIANA FARM BUREAU PLANS LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM Constitutional Convention on Income Tax First on List Indianapolis, Jan. 11. While the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation has not prepared any legislative measures of its own. as yet, it has definitely outlined the legislative objectives which strength of the organized farmers will support it this session of the Indiana gener al assembly, it was announced at the offices of the state ureau Tuesday. Of first importance, in the opin ion of the committee, will be legis- provision for holding a spe-ial election or constitutional con vention on the proposed state in come tax amendment.

In this connection, officers of the bureau pointed out that the bureau feels that the proposed amendment, which had been passed by two ses sions of the general assembly but failed to receive a majority vote at the last general election, is worthy of a special election where it would receive the undivided at tention of the voters. The bureau 1 (jommittL'j is working a careful study of all the steps necessary to bring about tho enactment of the amendment. Other legislative objectives that will receive the support of the farm bureau include legislative regula tion of the labeling of oleomavger- ine. similar 1o that incorporated in a bill that passed both houses last session and later disappeared; legis lation that would make possible the reappraisement of real estate this year; compulsory tuberculosis erad ication among live stock legislation and corn borer eradication legisla tion in conformity with provisions of the Purnell bill in the congress. The legislative committee ot the bureau is charged with the task of making a complete and careful study of the state budget when it is announced.

The bureau is on rec ord as advocating a minimum expenditure of state funds "in line with good government." The farm bureau will support the recommendations of the international committee of the corn borer, which advocates uniform legislation in all sitates where the corn borer has been found, thus facilitating the administration of the proposed national corn borer act which has passed the lower house in the con gress. The Purnell bill would give to the 'secretary of agriculture ad ministrative powers to dictate what part the state shall play in the government's fight against the corn borer. The committee also announces that the farm bureau is interested in stream pollution legislation and is in accord with any movement to eliminate the pollution of the' Btreams on the ground that pollution has reached such a stage1 in this state that agriculture is affected.

"I never became a favorite in the house of Shiloh, but stayed with thirty other girls over the printing office. We lived in ten rooms. Once a week we would called over to Benjamin's house and he would read to us from his religious works. He would sit in the midst of the girls, like a king sffrrounded by his court, while the reading went on.

We were laugnt ne was Christ younger brother. Benjamin would caress and fondle the girls, speaking to them softly and gently; pat their bands or stroke their heads. Often be would take us into his room to look at his paintings. He liked to amuse him self by trying to paint and he would want to know what we thought about his efforts. Sometimes he would invite two or three into his room; often only one!

Acting on advice from the state health department, Dr.

P. G. Fermier, Kosciusko county health officer, Monday condemned the well at the Mount Tabor school in Scott township. The well was poisoned several weeks ago and the water is yet unfit for consumption. A new well will take its place.

Trial of the two Riley boys, Samuel and Athol, charged with ylacing paris green in the well to kill human beings, is to be held in the near future. Their three younger brothers confessed that the five boys had gone to the school house and put the poison in the well. According to William Gray Liehr who took office as prosecuting attorney of Kosciusko county January 1, the former prosecutor, Morrison Rockhill. will be appointed as special prosecutor for the state by Judge Lemuel W. Royse, when the Riley brothers' case comes to trial.

This is to be done because Rock-hill's efforts were largely responsible for the arrest of Athol and Samuel Riley.
