Farmers Facing Starvation.

Forsyth, Mo-, March 17-Hundreds
Of farmers in the Ozark hills of south
ern Missouri and northern Arkansas,
whose crops failed during last sum.
mer's droughts, are living in a desper-
ately poor way on short rations. 1t is
estimated probably 10 per cent of the
population in the district has felt the
pangs OF hunger this winter. Offers
Of aid have been refused. The chief
distress now comes from a lack of
seed for the spring planting. This is
being relieved by the distribution of
seed purchased by the governor of
Arkansas, with money personally Dor
rowed from the banks. A member of
the Missouri state board of charities,
who has just investigated the situa-
tion at the request of Gov Dockery,
will recommend that the Missouri del
egation in congress send out what
government seed they can.

Mill Men Protest.

The state board of equalization met
in Columbia the past week and the
matter of the assessment of cotton mill
property was at once taken up. Near
" all of the cotton mills in the state
were represented by their presidents
or other officers. 1t was estimated
that there were men present during
the session representing more than
$4,000 1000 of corporate capital.
At the recent meeting of the board
the basis OF valuation of cotton mill
property was determined upon as fol-
lows:
THAT preferred stock of cotton mills
be valued at s1O0, and common stock
at rate returned by mills"
Of course, the Is per cent valuation
is a fair and impartial one.
All of the mill men vigorously pro-
tested against this basis of valuation,
holding that the spindle basis is the
only fair and impartial one.
An entire day was spent in hearing
protests from mill officials as to lndl-
yidual assessments made for each mill
without respect to the basis of valua-
ton.
