'!• 'r.*•.-■.•• .• The. most important news from the Washington front, boweycr, concerns the latest Administration i»Ians for levying defense taxes.’ Originally the Administration was opposed to any ■new taxes a t this .time; bu t sensing the attitude of. the people generally,, and feeling that new burdens of tax a ­ tion would be accepted with less, com­ plaint*■durihg the present European crisis than lafer on, the decision was leached a few days ago to keep Con­ gress in session until new defense taxes are levied and the present na­ tional debt limitation is lifted. Ac­ cording to well advised sources, the ' Administration program will be as follows: JPirst, lifting the debt .limita­ tion, from forty-five billion to forty- ,eight billion, dollars and the issuance ,of special national defense bonds for the three billion dollar increase in the national debt. Second, the levying of new taxes to rajse approximately seven hundred million dollars per year, presumably to be used toward paying off the newly issned bonds. Third, the formation of the National Defense ' Corporation, Within capital of two bil­ lion dollars and the power.to issue Corporation bonds for financing pro­ duction-of military and naval equip­ ment, without having the capital or bonds ,of th» Corporation considered, as a patit pf tiie ^national .debt, al­ though guaranteed by the govern­ ment. * KHN>n iim>iiiwiinni»m>nnniniMmini»iiiiMMim* COURT NEWS AN ODKTO Tax DO*CA» CLASS SRJ3K8 JUDGMENT Dr. D.

Iliff was ordered.. a p po in tm e n t , Della Bingaman was appointed ad­ ministratrix of the estate of O. A. Bingaman, late of BoweKsv*^t:' pnder 1 11,400 bond. I t la rumored,that the new tax pro- ’ groni .wflt provide for a fli*t in* crease, or surtax, un all,income taxes; '.an increase of 1% cents a gallon in the Federal gas tax; $1.0C( a barrel in­ crease in the tax on beer; 75 cents a gallop increase in- whisky taxes; and bicroiaeB in the manufacturers! tax on cigarettes apd tobaccos. I t must be borne in mind, however, that the, tax program ..pjay bq materially miter* , ed before the work of the Ways and Means (Gpipmjt$ea,,which began con­ sideration”of the neW: defense taxes late last week, is completed. ' Withqut taking into consideration the heavy increases in appropriations for emergency defense purposes the regular goygUlPiental appropriations Will soon carry1tiie national debt he* yond the present limitation of forty- five billion .dollars,, and probably be­ yond the suggeqted hew limitation of forty-eight ■ b|lljon dollars, As the months*pass there is a grave likeli­ hood that further heavy expenditures will be”found necessary if the defense program is to be carried forward as now planned, thus necessitating more and heavier Federal taxes than those now-being considered by the Ways and Means Comittee. I t seems absolutely certain that the' American people are in fo r more centralisation of .power in Washington, for greater control by government o f tbe activities of the people, and for greater indebtedness and heavier tax burdens, than ever experienced by the American people in the pftft. AU of this fits in with the declared objective of the New Dealers of nationalising business, finance and industry, through the centralisation of supreme power in the govsiroinent Itself, While Congress is giving almost Unanimous support to requests of the President for emergency defense funds With the exception of his “blank checkw request, there has been con sidttsfrie criticism here during the past wash: of the Fireside Chat of last Eaaday evening, Msny Congres­ sional leaders have expressed the opinion that the President was not entirely frank or fair with the people whan, hi giving his report on the con­ dition of the Army and Navy, he f a r e only the number of different de fane* wropros a * on hand *and on ardor, I t J* ti$e “on band and ion ardor* phase that is so misleading.

I t was the IL P, Church of Cojkr- vflle-— , In it, many pst^ila have worked with a will. It’» alwaya been interested in Bible School— Here, scores of people bare learned God's role. In all the years, there’s been good preachers And there's ssldom been a dearth of teachers- • As time went on ther* were many changes In order to make room for all the strangers, Who; in this church, have cast their lot And also, brought in,many a do t... Then in the year, nineteen hundred and ten > Dr. Milligan decreed a change, and then, / , The men and women, were to bp separated . And so the question was debated. ? Just why this change, we know, not the reason, Except for this,, it seemed the season. Perhaps the women did all the . talking, . And that was why the men, were balking. Anyway ,the chapge was made. The women went out and the men stayed, So this was the way the class was ■started,.' ■ Yet the! men and women in good will parted. , . The first thing in order was a name. And the Dorcas class i t then became, Then for a teacher, aftd on Mrs* Lucy Barber the die was cast. She knew her Bible and was true to • her task. ' ■ ' " For twenty years she did her work, We’re su^e no one can call her a /."shirk, " -. ■■■ \ Now of the charter members of this class Well give a verse before we pass. The. first we will name is Mrs. ' Dobbins. She is as happy and gay as the robins, " ,r t ' , . , _ ‘ Then she is good and kind to 'all around, And. all her answers ore sure to bo sound The next we will mention is Mrs. . J. E. Ryle-t She's been in this class gdi tpe while. She is ever ready to tqlk on the ' ’lesson, And tries to be a t each Rible School session. A faithful member is Mrs. Auld— For all Iger good works, we giye her applause. She is ready to render any service Yet she's so quiet,^she makes one nervous, •' Mrs. Spencer’s been faithful, but now she is ill— But her love and interest arc with the class still, We pray she may soon be relieved from pain, And then we are sure she will be with Us again. Also, Mrs. Adda Mitchell was a charter member In her early life she was a Cqyenanter. But now she’s a very good 17. P And that’s what all of this class should be, A charter member was Mrs, Oglesbee, too, She’s a hospitable soul, and ready to do Any work that comes her way And ’twill be well done we can truly *»y» Then there is Mrs, Gillaugh and Mrs, Turnbull too. They have long been members good and true." _Just now, neither is very strong, But we know quite well they’ll do n« wrong. Mrs. Anna Hastings and Mrs. Dean We still keep in tmind, One is sorely afflicted and the other is blind. Both of these were charter members ‘too, And both good workers when Able to do. Some chsrter members have strayed away. And in other states have gope to «t»y Mrs, Dixon and Mrs. Hanna, are two, ’’ Who have gone to other states, their work to do. A good member, too, was Mrs. Kffie Trouts, , ,1 Who’d liks to be with us, wa have no doubt.

Worms Damage Fruit-Shade Yrees Cankertyorms have again mpde their annual appearance and are feasting on the foliage of elm, apple and other trees and shrubs of Greene County. . These insects are also known a* measuring worms, or Coopers find travel by a -looping movement of the body and when disturbed, let them­ selves down by a silken thread which hey spin. They mfike lacewqvk Of th# leaves and often completely destroy all foliage, While a- new crop v f , leaves is put forth to replace the one* destroyed, it causes k heavy drain - upon the vitality of the tree and re­ peated defoliation may lead to itt death. A spray of lead arsenate a t th e rate of 2 to 4 pounds in 50 galkms of water will control them, If the application is delayed Until the insects are nearly grown, the heavier amount of lead arsenate ia required.
