FORM ECONOMY LEAGUE AT TAXPAYERS’ MEETING The court room was crowded last j Saturday afternoon by a meeting of taxpayers from all parts of the coun ty, held for the purpose of consider ing present and future conditions in : the county, and ways and means to meet such conditions as they may arise. There is a general feeling that the county will have heavy calls for help before spring and that some im provement can be made in the man ner of taking care of such matters. It was also the sentiment of the meeting that instead of destroying one-third of the crops we have rais ed, as recommended by the Farm Board, that it would be better to re duce public expenses one-third. A permanent organization was formed, to be known as the Economy League. George L. Butler, of Ewing was elected president and B. B. Grab ble, of Chambers, secretary; commit tees were appointed for various pur poses; they will report at the next meeting, to be held at the court house, Saturday, September 26th, at 2 p. m.

Kahler did not make any attempt to dispute the evi- j dfence against him but seemed to take the attitude that he was doing the right thing; he said that his reas or for beating his wife with a strap was that she refused to go to Stuart' with him and that she wouldn’t mind him.
