you may guess 1 have had some
experience by this time. am
still employed by Ed Smith. l
am about eleven miles from Car
rolltun and six miles from Bos-
worth. l find lots of Kentuckians
here.
This is fine farming country.
There is a lot of corn raised in
this part of Missouri. The crop
will be light here on account of
the dry weather. Most all the
early corn burned up, but we
had about an inch rain the 18th,
and that has improved the looks
of things lots and it is thought
that late corn may do pretty
we'll yet, if it continues to rain.
Pastures are awful short at
present. There are about $50
head of cattle and horses here,
and it is quite a job for one man
to keep them all at the right
place, when they get to break
ing out.
have had all | could manage
for the last week, but Mr.. and
Mrs. Smith will be home some
time this week. They are visit
ing in Illinois. They made the
trip in their automobile. They
wrote me they made 300 miles
the first day after they left home.
We have fine roads here. They
are dragged after each rain just
as they are dry enough to
smoothe up good.
see in the News that you
have been blessed with good
rains lately. This has been an
awful dry season here all the
way through. Wheat and cat
crop was not so good as it was
last year. We went over the
same territory with the thresher
this year that we did last. We
were out IA days this time and
threshed IL, 519 bushels and last
year we were out % days and
threshed about 10000 bushels.
We will start out to fill silos
as soon as Smith gets home.
There has been quite a number
of them put up here this sum-
mer. Some have already been
filled and some people are wait
ing to put their late corn in.
Smith has a ITO ton silo and fed
100 head of cows and calves last
winter and did not feed it all out.

more than sixty per cent, the

begin cutting next week. The
largest melon crop ever raised
in this county is being marketed.
Melons are of splendid flavor.
This is also banner fruit year,

The Missionary Institute of the
Columbia District has been in
session here this week. Del

District were here and an inter-
esting meeting was held. Mrs.

re elected President, and Miss
Maud Cowherd. Of Bengal, was
reelected Secretary. Rev. W.

Hodges Chapel church, of this
county, sent the largest number
of delegates.
An epidemic of typhoid fever
is reported to be in a malignant
form in the Pierce neighborhood.
1t is attributed to the drinking
water, which in many instances
came from very lew supply in
the wells. Physicians are sur
prised that so little fever has re-
suited from the condition of
drinking water during the re-
cent dry weather.
The annual meeting of the
Green County Sunday School
Convention was held at Pierce.
Wednesday of this week. Rain,
together with the epidemic of
fever prevailing around that VIZ

CLARION FACTS.

While Charlton is a cattle disease it
can be contracted by persons. The
state live stock board has warned the
public against the skinning of any
animal dying of any suspicious disease,
Besides, 1t Is forbidden by law Neither
should such animals be cut open.
Milk from an infected animal should
under no circumstances be used.
Cases of Charlton should always be
reported and where cases are doubtful
the report should be made at once.
The greatest importance is attached
to the destruction of the carcass OF
an animal that has died Of Charlton.
This can be done by burying it deeply
in quicklime, but burning Is preferable,
because the burying Is seldom deep
enough and the Quicklime does not
always do the work thoroughly. De-
struction of the germ spreaders is ad-
yised. These are horseflies, buz&ards
and stray dogs-all carrion-eating
birds and animals.
Unless preventive measures are used
to avoid recurrence of the disease,

The first through freight boat" from
New Orleans to st. Paul in many years
cleared from New Orleans Monday af,
ternoon. And do you know that she
will clear with hardly a single ton of
freight of New Orleans to any port
along the Mississippi river?
The cargo that makes the voyage
worth while is to be taken on at a
/ little way station" on the Mississippi
somewhere in the woods between Baton
Rouge and Natchez!
But if this voyage to st. Paul which
John H. Barnhardt starts with his
1OOO-ton power barge on Monday is the
precursor of fleets of modern freight
carrying craft on the Mississippi and
/ its tributaries, then July 6, in subse
quent years, will be about as cele
bratable a business anniversary as
New Orleans will ever possess.

A fourth case OF bubonic plague de-
veloped in New Orleans during the
past week. 1t looks odd to an out
slider that such cases could occur in
widely separate localities and yet no
cases should follow. If it were in the
good (?) old days of DR., Souchon, one
would suspect that there was some
concealment made, but with U. S. sur
geons and DR.. Bowling in charge there
is no reason to fear deception. But
nevertheless one would like to know
why these isolated outbreaks occur.

THE GOVERNOR DID RIGHT.

ANY one who has read Governor
Halls message accompanying the
emasculated appropriations bill must
feel satisfied that he did all that could
he done In the circumstances. The
easy-going gentlemen OF the General
Assembly had appropriated over $780,
900 more than q reasonable estimate
of the States revenues for the next
two years warranted. The Governor
was forbidden by law to approve such
q bill, hence there was nothing for him
to do but trim down the appropriations
and bring them within limits. That he
has done so in such a manner that
immediate financial needs are attend
ed to and an extra session of the legis-
lature will be required for those after
July 1915 is an original and just
method of throwing the responsibility
exactly where 1t belongs: OH the Legis-
lature.
Individual interests, here and there,
may cry out, and foolishly inveigh
against the Governor for not approx
ing a bill that would throw the State
into debt for over half million of dol
lars, but the vast body of the people,
having no special interests at heart,
will approve and should applaud him.
Had the legislators been really the
statesmen that some of them think
they are they would have foreseen that
the growing needs Of the States va
~rious institutions were outstrippine
its revenues, as at present raised, anC
in lieu of heavier rate Of taxation
that would have been inexpedient al
this time, as we'll as unjust to those
b paying a fair proportion of taxes
there was no recourse except to re
wise the system Of assessment, which
is generally agreed to be VIGOROUSLY
unequal.
But these gentlemen did nothing O
the kind. They knitted the admins
tration measures without mercy, an'
yet offered nothing in their place, de
spite the needs Of the State, and ever
while approving appropriations tina
would make heavier drains on thu
State treasury. Opposition to Gov
Hall-even In the house Of professe'
friends-might be forgiven, If 1t hal
produced any constructive Legislation
on the important subjects OF tax re
form and assessment, but 1t was Ell
tirely dog in the manger proceeding
they did nothing themselves, an
saw that no one else could do any
thing.
This may please landowners, who's
'unimproved land" is VIGOROUSLY fat
ing to come up even for assessment
timber owners whose holdings wout
be affected by a geographical plan c
assessment, city property owners, VIII
object to a unit of assessment valu
and above all to the publishing
their assessments. These, we repea
may be pleased, but we doubt if an
one else is.
But the matter has been eVaded, NJ
concluded. There must be an extT
session of the Legislature, when al
other opportunity will be given the1
to do their duty by their people an
State. Perhaps in the interim tn
general discussion Of the question wi
show them how the public feels on tn
subject. 1t is not matter Of pride II
the Felicianas that the majority (
their representatives proved to be d
cided reactionaries in regard to ta
and assessment reform, and viii
nominal supporters of Gov. Hall, the

LEGISLATIVE JOKES.
Baton Rouge State Times:

Baton Rouge State-Times:
In the mass of legislation that crowd
ed upon the House and Senate at the
close OF the General Assembly it is
we'll perhaps that the Roberts rural
assessment and Manion urban assess
ment measures were given a parting
death blow.
After the emasculation of these
measures in the Senate, they repre-
sented nothing,
They would not have been worth
the paper they were written on.
In their final shape the cost of pro.
mitigation and printing would have
been a dead expense to the state.
There have been few exhibitions
more shameful than the way these
measures were given slow poison in
the Senate.
They passed the House measures OF
merit.
They emerged from the Senate legis
lative jokes.
There objects originally were to give
a scientific uniform basis of valuation
for taxation purposes, and uniform
publicity of assessments. Publicity, II
nothing else, would force uniformity.
The two acts would have done fol
Louisiana what group OF sincere
workers did for Baton Rouge two
yeare ago.
No injustice could have been done
Only ancient wrong long existent In
assessments would have been cor
rected.
The principles contained in these
measures were correct
And public opinion will force the
enactment of such laws in Louisiana
knowledge of Louisianas antiquated
unequal and unjust assessment ant
taxation system is too general now fol
the present system to longer remain.
