At ' its meeting Tuesday the council trimmed $ 600 off the $ 13,857.88 aske,, in additional appropriations. Of this cut, $ 400 was taken off the circuit court request for law books and $ 200 off the county school superintendent's , salary. All other items were passed as requested.

Among the allowances made was $ 900 to the county clerk for pay of a second deputy, and funds to the coun-ty assessor for restoration of tele-pnone service and a typewriter in that office. The county never has owned a typewriter for use by the assessor, and the council regarded the need for one as imperative. W. C. Cameron, assessor, explained that the clerical work in the office had been greatly? increased by the paspage of the in-tangibles tax law. , The council allowed $ 450 to the auditor for employment of part time help in making up assessors' books this spring.

Approximately 200 Howard county Purdue University alumni met at a banquet at the First Presbyterian cuhrch, Kokomo, Tuesday night and enjoyed several delightful hours in a reunion of collegiate fellowship and also in hearing a most enjoyable group of talks. The speaker of the evening was Dr. Edward C. Elliott, president of Pur-due University, who spoke in a whim-sical vein, concluding his talk with a most humorous discuesion of the question cf the " sitting COW," which caused great hilarity among the " Ag'' alumni. The meeting opened with music by Miss Hester Mills, Miss Phyllis Mae Umfreys, Miss Mary Ellen Wilson and John Jessup, Purdue songs were sung by the entire group and Purdue decorations garnished the tables. Walter Krull of Indianapolis pres-ident of the Purdue alumni association was introduced end spoke briefly in a humorous style. A. B.

The meeting was pronounced high-ly successful and a much larger one predicted at the next call. - MEMBERS ARE NAMED 5CR LIBRARY BOARD Knights of Clover Leaf Lodge No. 330, Knights of Pythias, their wives and children and invited guests to the number of approximately 150 gath-ered at the local hall Monday night for the annual " love feast" of the lodge which commemorates the sev-enty- first anniversary of the founding of the order. All families came to the hall with well- filled baskets and the dinner was served cafeteria style with tables spread in the main lodge room. Spec-ial decorations were in the form of streamers from the center of the ceil-ing to the outer walls and the lodge color scheme of blue, red and yello. v was used in the table decorations. Carl R. Mitchell, grand keeper of records and seal of the grand domain of Indiana, was the principal speaker of the evening. He recited some of the history of the lodge and its work in the state and paid a strong tribute to the efforts of the members of Clov-er Leaf Lodge in furthering the cause of the order. He again called at-tention to the fact that, in last Oc-tober's state convention, the grand iodge had seen fit to pass a resolution of commendation to the local lodge for its excellent work in conferring ranks in this and other lodges of the district. Mrs. Stella Bartle, grand outer guard of Pythian Sisters of Indiana, delivered an address as the principal speaker for the auxiliary. She re-counted the revival of Pythias Sis- , ers in Greentown, which occurred a year ago and complimented the lad-ies for the whole- hearted effort they have put forward in making the local organization one of the strongest in the state in sueli_ a short time. ) 4Xlier visitint - official: 4, all of whom spoke i, fly were: Henry Kammerer Le, garriltSirand Master of Exche?, tendent fiam - RAM Marion, District., 2: eiuty; C. 0.

LOCAL PYTHIAN SISTERS TO ENTERTAIN BI- COUNTY MEET Greentown has been placed on a federal highway by the federal high-way commission and the road known as Indiana Highway No. 22 soon will become U. S. Highway No. 35. The new federal road has an east-ern terminus at Charleston, W. Va., extends across Ohio and Indiana to Michigan City where it joins other truck roads into Chicago. The road enters Indiana at Rich-mond and proceeds over state road 21 through Muncie to Jonesboro, there taking up state road 22 from Jonesboro thorugh Greentown and Kokomo to Burlington. From that point it takes over state road No. 29 through Logansport into Michigan City. Word has been obtained here that the state road signs " Indiana 22" will be left standing on the local road for ' an indefinite period but that new " U. S. 35" nigns will be erected in the very near future. The addition of the stretch of road through here, recognized as one of the best pavements in the state, to the federal road chain is expected to bring a far heavier volume of traffic through Greentown as soon as mark-ing of the road is completed and its Mrs. Cassie Shockley visited with course is marked on highway maps. her sister, Mrs. Allis Smith, Tuesday. Incidently, sectional drawings will be announced Saturday. The Beav-ers have two more games, one with Converse Friday and another, a post-poned engagement, with Jackson Mon-day night. The grand old, mellow- toned bell that has been in the vacant lot next to The Gem office for several years is koon to replace the " tenorish" bell in the M. E. Church steeple. The big bell originally hung in the church at Jerome. More about it next week. - Incidently, Rev. Winn, our good Congregational- Christian friend and his wife passed the M. E. church last Monday morning just at the end of the " clean- up" after Sunday's serv-ices. With ever an eye for the Biblic-al, Winn turned to his wife and said, " ilurely, mother, ' Hoch' cleaned the Temple yesterday." - Our own Wichellism: What federel employee is4requently seer) with what school teacc'br?

LOCAL PYTHIAN SISTERS TO ENTERTAIN BI- COUNTY MEET Greentown has been placed on a federal highway by the federal high-way commission and the road known as Indiana Highway No. 22 soon will become U. S. Highway No. 35. The new federal road has an east-ern terminus at Charleston, W. Va., extends across Ohio and Indiana to Michigan City where it joins other truck roads into Chicago. The road enters Indiana at Rich-mond and proceeds over state road 21 through Muncie to Jonesboro, there taking up state road 22 from Jonesboro thorugh Greentown and Kokomo to Burlington. From that point it takes over state road No. 29 through Logansport into Michigan City. Word has been obtained here that the state road signs " Indiana 22" will be left standing on the local road for ' an indefinite period but that new " U. S. 35" nigns will be erected in the very near future. The addition of the stretch of road through here, recognized as one of the best pavements in the state, to the federal road chain is expected to bring a far heavier volume of traffic through Greentown as soon as mark-ing of the road is completed and its Mrs. Cassie Shockley visited with course is marked on highway maps. her sister, Mrs. Allis Smith, Tuesday. Incidently, sectional drawings will be announced Saturday. The Beav-ers have two more games, one with Converse Friday and another, a post-poned engagement, with Jackson Mon-day night. The grand old, mellow- toned bell that has been in the vacant lot next to The Gem office for several years is koon to replace the " tenorish" bell in the M. E. Church steeple. The big bell originally hung in the church at Jerome. More about it next week. - Incidently, Rev. Winn, our good Congregational- Christian friend and his wife passed the M. E. church last Monday morning just at the end of the " clean- up" after Sunday's serv-ices. With ever an eye for the Biblic-al, Winn turned to his wife and said, " ilurely, mother, ' Hoch' cleaned the Temple yesterday." - Our own Wichellism: What federel employee is4requently seer) with what school teacc'br?
