TAXDODGERS ANTE.
DOdging The Assessor They Are Now
DOdging Terms i'm Prison.

Liberty, Mo-, May Z. The tax
dodgers are rushing into court and
pleading guilty in Clay County as the
result of the campaign being waged
by Judge F. p. Divelbiss. More than
$3,OOO,0OO hidden wealth has been
unearthed in the last few months
thru the activities of Judge Divelbiss,
adding more than $1,5OO,OOO to the
personal assessment of Clay county.
The March grand jury of the Clay
County Court, acting under instruc-
tions from Judge Divelbiss to dig
deeply into the tax-dodging situation
returned indictments against the fol-
lowing, charging them with PERU
ry in having given false assessments:
A. c. Pixlee, P. c. Pixlee, w. T.,
Pixlee, B. F. Pixlee, Gilbert Barr, A.
E. King, o. I. Steele, S. D. Henry, J..
w. Porter, Augustus Isely, Edward
Withers, Dan Field and T. ]. Wor-
nall.
On the day the indictments were
returned, Withers. Field, Porter and
Isely pleaded guilty to the lesser
charge of failing to give a true as
sessment list and were fined $500
each by Judge Divelbiss,
On March 20 the grand jury was
excused until May 8, but in the
meantime the County Board of
Equalization met and the thought
that the grand jury was to reassem-
BILE on May appeared to have a
refreshing effect on the memories OF
the tax-dodgers. The result was that
the board in the few days dug up
100000 not heretofore listed.
When court reconvened on May
the Pixlees and wornan asked per
mission to plead guilty to falling tc
give a true return, were allowed tC
do so and were fined 5000 each.

FURNITURE AND UNDERTAKING
Local Option at independence.

The Kansas City Times, referring
to the business results following In
dependence going dry, says:
That local option, which went into
effect in Independence January 4,
is paying the people of that city fl
nancally as we'll as otherwise, is the
opinion of Robert w. Vardeman, one
THE effect was immediate" Mr..
Delivery Co. of that city. This COM
pany does the delivering for 22 gro
Gerry stores and meat markets in In
dependence. Much of this business
is of the collect on delivery" class,
the deliverymen collecting the bills
and turning themoney over to the
merchants.
THE effect was Immediate" Mr..
Vardeman said recently. 1.-TWO days
after the saloons closed the volume
of goods we handled C. o. d. began
to increase in size. When the town
was wet" we collected SIS to 500
a day. Now our collections run from
$3.50 to 5000 day and even more
than that on Saturdays. l believe it
is due to the fact that these people
are spending their money for food
and not for liquors"
We understand that Mayor OFT
told gentleman who lives in Mex
leo, last week, that while he voted

glad independence went "dry." May

MCMILLAN NOTES.
BY Fred Lavender.


Mr.. G. H. Williams, head of the
Extension Department of the Uni
versity, was a visitor at Mcmillan on
Thursday and made a talk to the stu
dents. He says he is pleased to WIS.,
it any high school in the State, but
is doubly pleased to visit Mcmillan
because she is the home of the State
champion debater and debating team
He paid a high tribute to our boys
and said that Wright should in his
Freshman year make the University
team. Mr.. Williams told how a stu
dent can pay large part of his ex-
penses while in the University work
ing, but he advised everyone to bring
enough money to Columbia for sup
port the first semester.
He also urged the students to take
an active interest in current events,
for the present high school boys and
girls will soon be the men and women
of the country, and as such they
should be familiar with all local and
national affairs. Now S the time to
acquire the habit of studying the af-
fairs of the country.
The Junior Prom at High School
Thursday evening was the best in
years. This is an annual affair in
which the Junior Glass of that year
entertains the Senior Glass and Fac
ulty. The most spectacular thing of
this years Prom was the beautiful
decorations in the gymnasium (where
the festivities were held) and in the
halls. The bare dungeon-like gym
was heavily decorated with wild
flowers and anything green that the
boys could get from the woods. Va
rious games were played but the feat
ure of the evening was track meet
held by teams representing Hardin,
M. M. A, Sproul, Mcmillan and Gar
field (the colored schooD. The team
from Garfield was victorious and
won the great trophy. A delicious
lunch was served after which every.
one pronounced the event the great.
est of the year.
Mr.. Campbell is giving the Sopho.
mores and Junior English classes
work in public speaking. At the reg
ular recitation hour the class goes tC
the auditorium where each one is
given from five to ten minutes &c
talk upon any subject he wishes
Such work gives very practical anc
valuable training, the kind that is Sc
badly needed by a majority of higf
school people.
Mcmillan defeated Columbia Higf
Saturday, IA to 10 in 10 innings
The game was "draggy" at first bu
the score soon became very close, anC
before the game had finished a grea
deal of interest was aroused. TIL,
Mcmillan boys did good work in tn,
field and hit the ball savageously
Centerfielder Joy Kistler made
great catch in the third inning b!
running far into right field for
long fly. Ryland Rodes and Morri
Keath each made several good play
at short and second, and Ernest Wat
son caught a good game. In tn
tenth with the score tied Wayne
pitcher, gave Columbia a big sur
prise by catching sleeping rune
off second base without even wakinI
another mapping Columbia rune
at third.
