Go; Small Damage The fire department was called to the Hagar Straw Board & Paper Co., plant Sunday .evening following an ex­ plosion o f a gasoline1 tank on a power tractor that was used to pull straw wagons about the yard. Following the discovery o f the fire, the tractor ,beipg in one o f the large straw sheds, d number o f employes tied a rope to it and pulled it into the open yard. It was hardly clear o f the building when' the explosion took place. Residences fo r several squares noticed the shock following the ex­ plosion. It is somewhat o f a mystery how the employes' escaped being sprayed with gasoline. WHO OWNS THE FARM? Fire destroyed the farm home o f Jack Jone§ on the J. W. Sheley farm owned jointly by Andrew Bryan and Mrs. Mabel Judy. The fire is sup For the ten years from 1915 to 1924 good farms in the com. and hog belt o f Ohio brought the owners ah average return o f $9.50 to $10.00 per acre per year above ^operative ex­ penses and taxes. Taxes averaged $L25 per here. For five years 1926 to 1929 the rer- turhs were about $ m .60 and taxes $1.46 per year. For the exceptional year o f 1928 re­ turns were $14,20 per acre and taxes $ 1 . 68 . For the past three years these farms have not returned the owners even the operarting expenses and they have been compelled to secure the money for interest and taxes from other sources or go delinquent. But the taxes are still .$1.10 per acre. Capitalizing the return to the own­ ers and the return to the public through taxes at 4 ;per cent gives the following results: Equities Per Acre o f Good Farm Land 1915 to 1924....$225.00 $31.25 1925 to 1929 ......... 237,50 . 36.50 1928 ........ ............... 355.00 27.50 1031 and 1932 ...n o th in g 27.50 Is it not clear that our outworn Newspaper Group Elects Officers. 4 4 . . . . . . . ______ {system o f taxes is mulching the , W.
