ITALY DECIDES TO

German and Austrian Ambassadors
Preparing to Leave-Final An
swer Today.

London, May 20.-While Italy is
confidently believed to be making
final preparations to enter the war
on the side of the allies, Austria,
who would be the direct object Of
her attack, is, with her German al
ly, attempting to inflict such de-
feat on Russia that she will be able
to divert troops, if necessary, TO
meet her new foe in the south.
Dispatches from Rome continue
somewhat contradictory. but most
of them agree that Italy has decided
on the side of war, that the Ger
man and Austrian ambassadors are
preparing to leave Rome and that
the consul generals of those two
countries either already have left
their posts or will do so soon
On the other hand, a message
coming through Paris says that
Austria has submitted new propo-
sails, which she hopes will induce
italy to remain neutral. definite
answer is expected from the italian
foreign office before the chamber- Of
deputies meets today.

Little Rock, May 17-Ten months

ASSESS PROPERTY
AT HALF VALUE
Tax Commission Sends Out Letter
To Assessors Advising Them
On Their Work.

Little Rock, May 19.-Because Of
depressed financial conditions and
the likelihood of the assessed val
uations this year falling far below
that of last year. the Arkansas Tax
Commission is sending out letters
to all tax assessors recommending
that all property be assessed this
year at fifty per cent of it's ac-
tual value. The commission de-
clares that the law gives it the
right to assess certain property at
fifty per cent of it's actual value
and not what it sells for at forced
sale, and urges that each assessor
in the state do his best to accom-
plish the same result with regard
to the property he assesses.
The commissions letter states
that heretofore the practice of as
SCISSORS apparently has been simply
to list real estate and leave the
valuation to the county board Of
equalization, but this year the real
estate will be assessed. The COM
mission believes that real estate as
a rule has been assessed at a small
percentage Of its valuation as COM
pared with personal property. and
urges that this year every factor
that gives value to each tract Of
land or town lot be given particular
attention.
Live stock. the commissioners
believe. has been we'll assessed, but
in many counties Of the state asses
sors do not get the stock on the
tax books.
Under Money and Credits" the
commissions letter declares that.
while no statutory method is pro-
vided for finding the valuation of
any piece Of property, the assessor
can, by careful effort, often secure
moderately fair returns.
Household effects and ''other
personal property" also are very
much under assessed, but the COM
mission believes this can be improv-
ed by careful effort upon the part
of the assessor

KILLING FROSTS

Chicago, May 20.-Killing frosts
nine states in the middle west. Sew

snow. In Michigan, Minnesota,
parts of Wisconsin, the Dakotas and
Colorado temperatures reached the
freezing point Immense damage

BILE crops. Frost that was highly

Snow is reported from Colorado,
Wyoming, Michigan, Minnesota,
Nebraska, Wisconsin and even parts
of Kansas. In Nebraska, Colorado,
Wyoming and South Dakota the
snow ranges from two to eight
inches deep. This will be of vast
benefit to all vegetation, as the
roots will be protected from freez-
ing and the snow, when the wealth

Word was received here yesterday

his body probably thrown into the

Sheriff Stubblefield and others

the case. 1t is reported that Baynes
owas killed with an axe, and as his
home was near the river and his
body missing, the presumption is

in a class to itself. He said:
II would not preach the funeral
of a card-playing church mem
ber."
Still another paragraph attribut-
ed to the evangelist is:
Before this meeting is over
am going to take a cat by the tail
and pull him backward over some
!of you no-account church mem
bers."
The above are culled from a num-
Der of Pepper Pods From Culpep-
per's Sermons handed to The Dali
ly Press. While it Is exceedingly
doubtful II there are many who will
agree with the revivalist that a
cats tail ought to be pulled back
ward over our local church-goers
and mainstays, there is in the situ-
alton the reassuring feature that in
the act of pulling the said feline
backward by the tail instead of for
ward. few scratches incident to
the claws may be escaped. Taken
literally, however, the declaration
by Rev. Culpepper that he would
not preach the funeral of card
playing church member" is decided
ly the heaviest broadside that has
been fired into the local card-play-
ing fraternity for a long time. I'm
doubtedly if all Christian ministers
entertained the same views, there
would be great many sermonless
burials and very large delegation
of souls would be ushered into the
Great Beyond without the last sad
rites.

BENTLEY CALLS ON
FARMERS TO MEET
Make Initial Move to Organize a
Marketing Association to Aid
Diversification.

Thomas j. Bentley, in charge Of
che farm demonstration work in
Greene county, has issued the fol-
lowing call to the farmers of the
county for a meeting to be held at
the court house on Saturday, May
29th, for the purpose of organiz-
ing a marketing association to aid
the farmers in securing the best
prices for their products:
A very active campaign has been
going on among the farmers of
Greene county to get a reduction in
the acreage of cotton. The farmer
has been asked to try variety of
crops He has been asked to raise
more of the things that he uses
for food for himself and for his
stock. In a large measure we have
been rewarded, and we find grow
ing on the farms of Greene county
than ever before.
Regardless of whether the acre
ers are going to have more food
and feed for their stock than ev-
er before, and they are going to
have something besides cotton to
sell.
In order that we may sell our
products to the best advantage, and
thereby assist in getting the best
possible results from our adventure
into what might be called "diversi-
fled farming" it is necessary for
some form of organization for SELL
ing purposes be planned for the
handling of perishable products.
BY organized efforts we can put
our products on the market just
the same as the strawberry grow
ers of Judsonia or the fruit grow
ers of the Ozarks, or the citrus
fruit growers of California or Flor
ida.
Therefore, for the purpose of
discussing and devising ways and
means, and organizing some such
association, j am asking all farm
ers OF Greene county and all other
persons interested directly or in
directly in this matter, to come
together in mass meeting at the
court house in Paragould on May
20, 1915, and it is especially de-
sired that every local of the farm
ers' union in the county send del
egate or delegates composed of
its best citizens-those most inter
ested in such subjects
We want every local and every
township in the county 20 furnish
not one, but many, representatives.
Our marketing problems are our
most important ones this year.
With the proper organization the
crops can be handled properly and
satisfactorily.
Please don't forget the date
May 29th-and come. You can af-
ford to lose day from your work
at home to help in work for the
good Of the entire county.
