POLICE OFFICIALS
PLAY FOOD RoBBER.
A food tragedy in saxony, in which
a high officer Of police played the
part OF first robber. IS related by the
Berlin Vorwaerts: "The town OF Loe-
bau, in Saxony. is very unfortunate
in its food purchases. The local au-
thorities had bought a large quantity
of margarine which was duly ware
housed until such time as it could
be distributed in small lots among the
purchasers. At the end OF a fortnight
the discovery was made that the en-
tire stock had been stolen.
This was extremely sad. but the
city fathers did not allow themselves
to be too discouraged, and proceeded
TO make further heavy purchases. this

curity was stored in the Bautzen re-

were none other than a highly placed
police functionary and two ex-con-
stables, the discontinue OF the Loe-
bau municipality was complete. for in
view Of that circumstance. the Baut-

pay any compensation for the stolen
bacon.

A Sad Suicide

We CLEAN from the Bruins
wicker the incidents which led
to the taking his own life Sum-
day evening Aug. II by James
Farrell, an old and respected
citizen of the city on the Grand.
Brights disease had made life
undesirable for years, and Sun
day the afflicted man, tho quite
as cheerful as usual, evidently
planned to end it all, and when
his son-in-iaw Russell Jones had
gone to his work at the Wabash
station and his daughter and her
two children had left to attend
a meeting of the Christian En-
deavour society at the Christian
church, the afflicted man secur-
ed aloaded shot gun, went to
the rear of the house. placed the
butt of the gun against the foun-
dation of the house, the muzzle
to his breast and touched the
trigger with his cane.
Mr.. Farrell had written a note
to his daughter, Mrs. Jones with
whom he had lived for some
time, explaining that the in
crease in his sufferings was get
ting 10 be greater than he could
bear and that he felt fully pre-
pared for the consequences of
the act he contemplated.
Coroner Hawkins found no
reason for holding a formal In
quest. Funerel services were
conducted at the Christian
church by Rev. Frank Gillahan,'
after which the remains were
shipped to the deceased old
home. Madison, Monroe Co. Mo-.
for interment. James Farrell

ON MEATS
Conspiracy Charged To Big Pack
ers An Investigation De
manded- Sky-high Price

A grain man whose name is
withheld by the government has
charged and furnished more or
less data showing that the pack
ers Of the country, that is, the
big packers, have more than q
billion pounds Of meat which
they will dump on the country at
enormous prices and profit to
themselves. The dictator gem
eral for the government for food
feed and fuel, has been advised
Of the scheme and his action is
awaited with interest.
An embargo is talked of at
Washington on meat and the
amount permitted to be sent
from the country to the allies or
any one else will be determined.
In the mean time an investigation
of the packers and their holdings
will be had, it is reported.
The extreme high price OF
hogs and cattle lately is said to
be only the result Of the plan to
make enormous profits by the
packers. They have tons OF
meat which cost less than ten
cents and the imitation Of the hog
market to next to for 20 cents
a limited time and number. was
merely to furnish an excuse for
raising the price on all holdings.
The fact that the charge was
brot by a grain man. probably
disgruntled because he was not
in on the graft in meat as well
as wheat, may be open to Just
suspicition. The fact that not
withstanding the producer has
profted by the high prices for
his farm productions the specu-
lator has made enormous profits
since congress piddisa with the
legislation then dumped it alto

.EQUALIzE ASSESSMENTS
Valuation Based on Actual Worth
Assessors Work Increased
Lower Rate

Many of the assessors for
townships in this county who
have begun the work of taking
lists will have it to do over again
if they did not comply with the
new law in force in the premises.
There have been a few who have
secured many lists who will have
to destroy those taken and Sc
cure new sworn statements from
tax payers. The law clearly
Gays that all property, real, per-
soDal and mixed shall be assess
sed at its actual value, and this
will force assessors to place such
valuation of all the property
owned by the party giving the
list and also make it necessary
that assessors see and appraise
all property at its actual value
as nearly as they can. II he
guesses too high or too low. the
board of equalization will reme-
dy the fault.
This is the beginning of the
new tax law of the state. and
that it will entail some confusion
during its infancy there can be
little doubt, but if it does not
materially increase the total tax
levied against the individual ex-
cept in instances where he has
evaded taxation by some method.
there will be no stubborn object
ion raised.
That township assessors will
fully earn their money under the
new system, goes without de-
bate, and that those who have
honestly complied with the law
heretofore viii have no objection
to raise is true if they are re-
lieved by the addition OF proper.
