Enormous dividends are expected to he

Of the leading companies have sold their
entire crop at double and more than
double the average price recorded last

that fabulous prices have been paid for

The result Is that for a long time to-

the other hand may be set the fact that
Germany II pledged not Ia withhold the

ASSESSORS MEET
AT COURT HOUSE
Largely Attended 1.-The New As.
sessnent Blanks.

There was a meeting today at the
court house of the county assessors,
who came from all parts Of the coun-
! ty to get their books and blanks and
instructions. All the assessors but
three were present and there are Ga
county assessors. The changes in the
assessment this year were noted and
County Auditor Dlewett gave some
useful suggestions and instructions
to the officials.
The new assessment blanks reQuir-
ing more items of property to be
listed separately than the old blanks
will make a great deal more work for
the county assessors.
The assessors in attendance at the
meeting are entitled to collect from
the township 81 per day and mileage
at cents a mile for their attendance
at this meeting.
1t was voted at the meeting OF the
county assessors to omit the listing
of dogs Of all kinds, wire fence, and
stock under six months old. Wire
fencing is part of the real estate ac-
cording to the view taken and does
not have to be listed as personal prop
erty, while the value of dogs is prob
lematical at all times.
City Assessment.
The new assessment blanks have
been sent to property owners by City
Assessor Aylmer with instructions as
to the filling in of the blanks and re-
turning the same to his Office at AIS
West Main street. The property own
er giving the value of his property
fixes the assessed value at one fourth
the actual value, with all the items
on the list except the items numbered
from 43 to AZ, inclusive, which are
shares of bank stock, capital stock in
foreign companies, bonds and stocks,
money and credits which are to be
given as one-twentieth Of the actual
value. On the blank is an affidavit
which the law requires to be signed
in the presence of the assessor.
AS there are about 1000 persons
to be seen in the city by the assessors
and there are left only about forty
five days to do the work, taxpayers
will expedite the work by making out
their own lists and returning them to
the assessor. No attention should be
paid to the deduction Of $50 allowed
by law; that will be made by the
proper authorities at the right time
in every case.
BY making out your own list a
m ore accurate assessment will be had
and the property should be valued
at the value it would bring at pri-
vate, not forced, sale. Neglect to
I'LL in the blanks will require the as
SCISSOR to use his own judgment in
the valuation.

OR
PREPAREDNESS
Views Of Secretary Of WaI
Before Appointment.

Washington, April s-(SpeciaD
The new secretary of war, Newton
D. Baker, was surprise appoint
ment to the officials of Washington
on account of Mr.. Bakers we'll
known former affiliations with the
peace party and his opposition to
Mr.. Wilson's agitation for prepared
ness. 1t is told as a matter of po-
litical gossip that when the field sec
retary of the National Security league
called upon various mayors to enlist
their support for preparedness,
Mayor Baker, now secretary of war,
was the first mayor called upon. Mr..
Baker refused to have anything to do
with the movement because" he
said, "he was a pacifist and was op-
posed to the agitation for prepared
ness. He considered the movement
based on hysteria and that it was a
manufactured war scare"
Mr.. Bakers remarks show that he
was in entire sympathy with that
message which President Wilson sent
to congress a year ago in which he
said that not having been negligent
of defense we shall not alter our at
titude toward it because some among
us are nervous and excited" OF
course, talking to farmers on his re-
cent preparedness tour, Mr.. Wilson
said he had changed his mind, that
you cannot afford to postpone this
thing of preparedness" that I'VE are
daily treading among the most intri-
cate dangers" that new circum-
stances have arisen which make it
necessary for America to defend her.
SELF" that Il don't know what a sim
gle day may bring FORTH" and, lit
ought not to be possible for the world
to say that the flag of the United
States, which we love, can be stained
with impunity." AS long as actions
shall continue to speak louder than
words, however, how can President
Wilson object that men shall believe
that he adopted the preparedness slo-
gan purely for political expediency
and to make votes.

General Pershing's Headquarters at
Front (via Mexican telegraph to Jua-

ports have been received here by Gen.
eral Pershing that Francisco Villa is
dead and buried. These reports are
under investigation. Meanwhile the
hunt for the Villa bandits is proceed
ing with renewed vigor with the ar
rival at the front of General Pershing.
Mexicans who had seen Villa on his
flight south said that the bandit looked
thin and emaciated a week ago. One
fairly good authority stated that Villa
was able to walk the first day after
he received his wound, which indicat'
ed that no bones were broken.
Aeroplanes have covered several
hundred square miles of territory
scouting over a country heretofore
unexplored by planes.
The Mexicans in this section are
well disposed toward the Americans
and many of them are bitter against
Villa.
The American line of communica-
ton now is about 400 miles long.
1t is again reported that Pablo Lo.
PEI, who murdered seventeen Ameri-
cans last January at Santa Ysabel, is
not dead, but wounded, and that the
Villa lieutenant is trying to escape
the Americans.
