The perfume of certain fine imported
soaps is far nearer the true flower scent
either of violet or heliotrope than that
of expensive sachet powders, even when
manufactured by the same firm. Realiz-
ing this fact gave inspiration for using
the dainty round cakes of soap referred
to in place of saehets among linen or
lingerie, enclosing them in tiny bags of
finely embroidered linen or in ones of silk
OF the flower color, lined with white
silk flannel. The result is both delicate
and satisfactory.

dent of the prison board is to
receive $4,000 yearly and the
other four members $4,000

will be killed.
House Bill No. 270 provides
that at the 1918 election, prose-
cutting attorneys shall be elected

ing the money therefor.
A bill amending the automo-

A bill providing for a Pur-
chasing Board has been intro
duced. This board is vested with
authority to buy all supplies
used by the several state in
situations. | hope it will be kill
ed, knowing that it will be detri-
mental to the merchants of the
several towns where state insti-
buttons are located. In Lafay-
cite as a rule, supplies for the
Confederate Home are bought
of Higginsville merchants, and
we are sure the price paid is as
low as they could be bought by
the purchasing board, and the
loss of this trade would be a big
loss to the Higginsville mer-
chants. Then again the Con-
federate Home property was
given the state by a Higgins
vile gentleman, and for the rea-
son even if prices should be a
little higher, all supplies for
this institution should be pur-
chased there. Of course we
favor buying as low as possible,
but there are exceptions and
this instance is one of them.
We hope the bill fails of pass
age.

ment official (the registrar fol
the land-bank district) but also
as indicated above, by the capi.
tai and surplus of the IL lane
banks.
Both mortgages and bonds viii
be exempt from all forms OF
taxation.
Farmers who wish to obtain
money from the Federal land
banks will ordinarily be obliged
to form local loan associations,
and to get their loans through
these organizations. The local
loan associations will improve
the credit of their members
and reduce the cost of their
loans through the performance
of certain definite services,
among which are the following
The committee called the "loan
committee" of the association
will appraise the property of
fered as security and approve all
applications for loans which
are sent to the land bank. The
secretary-treasurer of the as
ISOLATION will transmit the pa
pers and carry on all correspond
ence with the land bank relative
to the loans. The association
will guarantee the mortgages Of
its members, the liability Of an
individual member, beng limited,
however, to an additional sum
equal to the amount of his CAPT
tai stock, or approximately to 5
per cent of his own loan.
One important function of the
new system will be to establish
safe standards for the farm
mortgage business of the United
States; for it is not proposed to
extend any credit except on the
basis Of proper security. In adj
dition to the Endorsement of the
local association, every loan
must have the approval of one
of the salaried appraisers ap-
pointed by the government for
the several land banks.
Further, not more than &c.
600 may be loaned to one Dor
rover, nor more than so per cent
OF the value of the land bank Of
fered as security plus 20 per
cent of the value of the build
ings; and the money must be
used for specified productive
purposes, such as the purchase
of farm land, improvements,
equipment, fertilizers, or live
stock, or for the payment of ex-
listing Indebtedness.
The Federal Farm Loan Board
OF the Treasury Department has
general charge of the system.
The Department of Agriculture
Will cooperate with this board
in supplying Information and
rendering assistance to farmers
who desire to take advantage of

WAS 81 YEARS OF AGE.
Mrs. Sallie A. Chinn Dies at
Her Home. Near Greenton
Last Friday.

Mrs. Sallie A. Chinn, one of the
best known women in Lafayette
County, died at the home of her
son, Will E. Chinn. north of
Odessa, Friday, Jan. 10, 1917.
She was born in Harrison
County, Kentucky, October 26,
1882, between Paris and Cyth-
lana and she was a daughter of
Elder J.. A. Mediation, a minis
ter in the Christian church. At
the age of eleven years she
united with that denomination
and has been a member ever
since.
When she was seventeen years
old she came with her parents
to Missouri and settled on a
farm near Greenton; where she
has since resided. In 1850 she
was married to Cornelius Chinn,
also a Kentuckian. He bought
the farm from his father-in-law
and lived there until his death
a few years later. AT the time
of his death Mr.. Chinn was a
judge of the Lafayette County
Court. tq oal I'D
Mrs. Chinn was left with three
small children to maintain and
rear to Christian manhood and
womanhood, to face the world,
and how we'll she succeeded is
attested by the splendid citizen
ship of her children. The living
children are Mrs. Ben Porter of
Jefferson City and Will E.Chinn
of near here. Another son,
James D., died a few years ago
at Dewey, Oklahoma. Besides
the children there are several
grand children and great-grand-
children left, as well as a multi
tude of neigbors and friends to
mourn aunt Sallies" death.
The funeral was held Sunday
and was conducted by Rev. ].
I, Lawson and interment was in
the Greenton Cemetery. A gen.
tie, kind woman of the old school
has gone to her reward.-Odessa

Judging by newspaper editor
ials Gov. Gardner's appointees
for the police boards of St.
Louis, Kansas City and st. JOS
eph are quite satisfactory to
all except the Kansas City Star.
The issuance of naturalization
papers to foreigners is to be
more strict. The chief of the
st. Louis naturalization bureau
has denied papers to three aliens
on the grounds that they had
been or were engaged in the sa-

The House passed its first bills
on January 22nd showing that
it is ahead of former years. One
by Farris, increases the state
saloon license from $500 to $500
a year. This is one of Gov.
Gardeners revenue measures,
and will increase the revenue
$500,000 annually. The vote
was 100 ayes and % noes. The
three other bills passed are APP

A bill introduced provides for
the erection of a monument at

Senator Stark has always op-
posed the Office of game warden,
and has introduced a bill to
abolish this position. He claims
it will save the state $4,000 an

will be placed in the hands of
sheriffs and constables. Another
bill permits hunting in the home
county without a license.
A list of clerks has been print
ed showing that 365 are on the
payroll, many of them being
wives, daughters and sons of
members. The majority or 2O4
are in the senate, each of the 81
senator's having five clerks and
a stenographer.
