Farmers, Attention!

The Missouri Farmer is opposed to
the adoption Of the Single Tax Amend
ment which is to be voted upon in
November, and which, if adopted,
would throw practically the entire
burden Of taxation upon land owners.
Never. in the history of Missouri has
a measure been proposed which so
vitality affects the interests Of the farm
er as this one and it therefore be-
hooves every land owner to inform
himself in this matter as speedily as
possible. In the May issue of the Mis-
souri, Farmer Geo. B. Ellis, the editor,
takes up the proposed amendment
and shows how unfair its passage
would be to the farmers of this state.
Mr.. Ellis is the Ex-Secretary of the
Missouri State Board of Agriculture
and there are few men of sounder
judgment anywhere upon matters
which concern the farmer.
The subscription price of The Mis-
souri, Farmer is SOC per year and by
subscribing now you will be kept in
close touch with the discussion of the
above question. This splendid paper
comes from the home of Missouri's
great Agricultural College and one of
its objects is to keep the farmers of
the state in close touch with this in
stitution. It is the highest class farm
and stock paper Missouri ever had
and should be in every farm home in
the state. The Missouri Farmer,

Supreme Court Discharges Woman AL
legged to Have Been Accomplish.
jefferson City, NO., May l4.-The
Supreme Court recently affirmed the
sentence of Walter S. Dipley for kill
ing Stanley Ketchel, the pugilist, on a
ranch near Springfield, and discharg-
ed Goldie Smith, the woman alleged
to have been an accomplish of Dipley.
Dipley and Goldie Smith were tried
and convicted for murder in the first
degree for the killing of Ketchel on
October Is, 1910.
They were both sentenced to life
Imprisonment.
Judge Kennish, in his opinion, re-
ferred to Ketchel as "a noted pugilist
from Michigan" who was shot in the
back while at breakfast by Dipley.
The court says there was evidence
that Dipley borrowed the rifle from
Ketchel the morning of the shooting
on pretext that he wanted to shoot
ground hog, when his real purpose
was to kill Mr.. Ketchel, and that after
the shooting he gave as the reason
for his crime that Ketchel had attack
ed his wife the day before.
There was also evidence tending to
prove that Dipley followed Ketchel
into his bedroom after he was shot,
struck him on the forehead with the
rifle and took from him a revolver
which Ketchel was carrying.
Dipley and Goldie Smith had been
representing themselves as man and
wife and were jointly indicted and
convicted of the crime.
Judges Ferris and Brown concurr-
ed in the decision.

PASSING OF F|sHT.0WN.
Locality Once a Busy Mart in Spring
About to Become Thing
Of The Past.

The decline of Fishtown has been
reviewed with regret by the many
still living who remember the act
ivity in that locality during about six
weeks every spring. There has been
but one arrival at that wharf this sea-
son and that was small jag consign-
ed to the lessees.
Pictures of Fishtown at its zenith
have often appeared in the Gazette.
Alexandria, in the years preceding the
Civil war it was the fish market for all
this section of the country, and nearly
all the shad and herring caught on
the Potomac were brought to this city
Attempts were made in the latter
years to retain the trade, but the
springing up of packing houses on the
shores where seines are hauled soon
brought about decrease in receipts.
This has been going on for years, and
eventually the fish markets of all the
cities will be among the things of the
past.
The fishing season is now nearing
its close, and in short time those en-
| gagged in hauling seines and gilling
| will have entered other occupations
