The United States Steel Corporation. with
capitalization Of s.100OOO0o was assessed for sO.-
100000 personal property by the local tax officials
this year This 100000 was in excess of its real
estate and debts. 1t assumed that the
poration would be willing pay this figure
without contest. The company yesterday made
its formal answer, return, the assessment,
and its attorney has off all 100000 of
the assessment.
Under the law there must be deducted from the
companys personal in this State its real estate
tax and its Indebtedness. On this basis. the coun-
sci for the steel trust told President ODonnel that
it was not really liable for dollar of personal
taxation in this State. He said. however that in
asnluch the financial offices of the company
were here and its financial business transacted
here it was willing TO pay a personal assess
ment Of s., 600.
The Northern Securities Company. with CAPT
taliZation of 400000000 off all its personal
assessment the ground that it is a New-Jersey

HERE'S A KANSAS CORN STORY.
Stalks Fourteen Feet High and Still
Growing-An Answer to Missouri.

EMPoRIA, KAs., July PA story
printed a few days ago in the Star
that Missouri has corn ten feet high
at this season in one section amused
the Kansas farmers who read it. In
defense of Kansas corn, big corn stories
can be found readily. Lutte Newton,
who owns several farms along the
Neosho, northeast Of town, said to-
day;
missouri may be able to brag on
raising mules with ear ten feet
long, but the fact thatIit has corn ten
feet high is not remarkable. Kansas
can give Missouri cards and spades and
beat all its corn stories. Corn four
teen feet high out along the Noesho Is
not causing any particular comment
among the farmers. 1t Is still grow
ing. 1t will reach eighteen feet be-
fore it natures. That is not an I'M
common height for Kansas corn In
favorable years"
Most of the early corn mas been
"laid BY" and has reached the roast
ing ear stage. The unusually good
corn year has revived the old time
corn stories of the Jack-and-the- Beam
Stalk type. The other day a farmer,
after buying a new buggy and a set Of
harness at an Emporia, store, inquired
il the merchant had any tree climbers
in stock.
"Tree climbers" responded the
merchant. "What have you on the
string, a bee-tree?n
"Naw," drawled the farmer. 1--WE
~fellers on the bottom this season will
have to use climbers to reach the ears
Of the corn"
A farmer who expects great things
Of his crop to-day beat most of the
corn stories by explaining that he in
tended to convert the stalks into cord
wood, and thought his corn would
make about a cord to the stalk.

tney can mail their money and the
localcommittee will ~bepleased by their
interest. The citizens Of Mexico arc
contributing 50 literally themselves
tnat this Fulton money might be set
aside and given as a prize for the
oest ear OF corn in the two counties.
Mexico's Carnival will consist OF at
fractions furnished by the largest
Carnival Company in this country co.
operating with a display Of farm pro-
ducts larger thaa at any other preyi.
GUS enterprise Of like character. Ful.
ton we understand, only intends to
have a display Of farm products but a
good one as Galloway Is never behind
10 the products Of her soil. We are
dubious concerning the success OF the
enterprise as all the people will be in
Mexico that week and Fulton will
have few to draw from.
