It seems, too, that I J^ijortty of p«>ple do not care Zaimto when thU buUdtag wlU ^aled, complatats come only a a aitaortty and It is the mtaor- I Ity, therefore, that Is much more ta- i terested. Thla fact Is alao proven by I the return of straw-vote ballota. Only 145 baltots out of approximately IBM) were retumed. Of the eighteen properties otfered to the Department, it is generally be- I lieved that only six of these proper¬ ties are likely to be considered, name, ly: Bid No. 3, D. J. Snyder property: Bid No. 10, A. J. Stofflet and Prank Sehulte property: Bid No. 11, Ellsa H. Whittier EsUte: Bid No. 13 Llllle C. Smith property: Bid No. IS, Sar¬ ah Ellen Zeigler property and Bid No. 16. WUl R. Beitel Home property known as The Hall Athletic Pteld- Many arguments, however, have been presented disregarding Main Street properties for reasons con- I cemlng traffic eongestton. Tbe paat haa demonstrated that loading and I unloading mall at tbe preaent alte BALLOT does congest traffic many times dur¬ tag the day and it is thought that this oondltion should be avoided as much aa possible. If this condition should effect the selection of the new site, tben the more out-lytag propertlee es close to the business section ot tbe town as possible will probably be selected. Refardless of criticism, it is hoped that good Judgment on the part of the Department will be exercised In choosing the new site. Enough pro¬ perty la available fllltag the re¬ quirements and certataly we need not congeat traffic or hide this new structure where it Is hard to ftad or see, nor do we have to locate It so far removed from the business centre of the town that It Is not wlthta easy access of everybody.

In answer to questions which have been received from farmers through¬ out the county relative to the Pro¬ cess Tax on hogs which are butcher¬ ed by the producer. County Agent B. L. Coleman refers them to Infor¬ mation recently released by Prew Savoy. Chief. Proeesstng Tax Section. Legal Division of the Agricultural Adjustment AdmlrUstratlon. Tills Information reads as follows; "Where a producer slaughters a hog partly for consumption by him¬ self, his family, employees or houae¬ hold and partly for sale, he is re¬ quired to keep a record of the live weight thereof and of the parts which he keeps for consumption by himself, his family, employees or houaehold and to pay a tax on the remainder. The weight of the parts sold are restored to a hve weight basis by using the conversion factors I prescribed in Hog Regulations. Series 1 For example, if a farmer should sell only two smoked, regular hams. ^ weighing 20 pounds each, from a ho^ slaughtered between December 1 and December 31. 1933. he would pay a tax computed as follows: The tax ¦ per hundred pounds, live weight, is ! $1: the rate of tax. multiplied by 206 percent, times the weight of the hams, will give the amount of tax on the two smoked hams equivalent to , the amount of tax which would have ' been paid, had the processing tax been computed on the whole hog on Pageant Presented The Sunday .school of S: John's Lutheran church presented a Chirst- mas program and pageant on Chris"- mas evening A selection by the Sunday .school orches" ra opened th» program. A pageant "Why The Chimes Rang ' was pres«"'nted by the following: Carl Fry. Peter Heckmaii Orover Fehr Miriam Unangst. Harrv Happel. Oeorge Horzmg. WiiUrd Werkhelser. Louise Kem. Lloyd M:n- nich.

Evelyn Fehr; sons by 12 children; recitations.

The tax would thus be 82 cents for the 40 pounds of regular, smoked hams. "Where a person, not a produeer, buys a live hog and has the hog slaughtered, for consumption by his famUy and nat for aale, no liability for the processing tax attaches. HoW' ever, if he sells any part of the pork products, he must pay the prooees- Ing tax on the entire hog, live weight as no exemption has been granted in the case of a person who is not a producer. "The same rule appUes whether the products of the commodity sub¬ ject to the processing tax are sold or exchanged." "The return is due and the tax is required to be paid with reapect to processing taxes on or before the last day of the month immediately fol¬ lowing the month during which the processing occurred Por example. the return for the month of Novem¬ ber is required to be led on or be¬ fore December 31, 1933. The Processing Tax, whk:h has been set-up for hogs, is as follows: 30 cents as of November 9.1933: 11.03 as of December 1, 11133: 11.50 as of January 1, 1934, and $2.00 as of Fe¬ bruary 1. 1934. Mr Coleman also informs us that this processing tax is to be paid to the Collector of Internal Revenue at Scranton. Pa.

ALL NOISE IS WASTE Power i.; a curious and much misunderstood thing Noise and display, which are com¬ monly thought to Indicate it. in reality are indications of its ab.sience All show of force is a sign of weakness. I/>ud talking is a sign of a con.sciousness that one's rea.soning is feeble When one shrieks it moans that he knows or suspects that what he says doe.s not amount to much, and It Irritates him. Profaiiity comes from a lim¬ ited vocabulary. A country Is pf)or in propor¬ tion to Its fighting .spirit. A nation habitually peaceful Is hardest to conquer. It was thc United States that settled with tho Barbary pirates. In advertisements, a i>'rsis- tent over-statement will in timo destroy all confidence Even here the strongest, most impressive thing, in the long run, is modesty. Power i.« in inverse ratio to noise, as a rule The .stronge.st being concei¬ vable is Ood. And He is so modest, quiet, and hidden that people refuse to !x?llevc there 1^ a God He never blusters.

It seems, too, that I J^ijortty of p«>ple do not care Zaimto when thU buUdtag wlU ^aled, complatats come only a a aitaortty and It is the mtaor-
I Ity, therefore, that Is much more ta- i terested. Thla fact Is alao proven by I the return of straw-vote ballota. Only 145 baltots out of approximately IBM) were retumed.
Of the eighteen properties otfered to the Department, it is generally be- I lieved that only six of these proper¬ ties are likely to be considered, name, ly: Bid No. 3, D. J. Snyder property: Bid No. 10, A. J. Stofflet and Prank Sehulte property: Bid No. 11, Ellsa H. Whittier EsUte: Bid No. 13 Llllle C.

Many arguments, however, have
been presented disregarding Main
Street properties for reasons con-
I cemlng traffic eongestton. Tbe paat
haa demonstrated that loading and
I unloading mall at tbe preaent alte
BALLOT
does congest traffic many times dur¬ tag the day and it is thought that this oondltion should be avoided as much aa possible. If this condition should effect the selection of the new site, tben the more out-lytag propertlee es close to the business section ot tbe town as possible will probably be selected.
Refardless of criticism, it is hoped that good Judgment on the part of the Department will be exercised In choosing the new site. Enough pro¬ perty la available fllltag the re¬ quirements and certataly we need not congeat traffic or hide this new structure where it Is hard to ftad or see, nor do we have to locate It so far removed from the business centre of the town that It Is not wlthta easy access of everybody.
Pollowlng is a tabulation of the straw votes received to-date:
