A Fifty-Fifty p. M.

Postmaster Hanks ran the general
store as well as the post Office and
one summer morning a lanky youth
slouched in, removed his battered
straw hat and said:
"Mr. Hanks, Understand there's two
letters here fur me-one wot come q
month ago and one wot come last
week. I'm afeared my folks must be
sick, or else they wouldn't be writin'
so plum often. Let me have them let
ters, will ye, Mr.. Hanks?"
The postmaster glared at the youth
"No, Peleg Anderson, 1 won't let -
have them letters till ye settle fur
that lot o groceries wot's been OWN
SO long!"
The young man took out soms
money.
81 kin settle half the account, Mr.
Hanks" he said.
''Then," said tie postmaster, In o
milder voice, II kin give ye one o. yer
letters" and he did so. "SQuar' up

Missouri Quota Short.

Missouri Quota Short.
That Missouri is likely to fall 8 or 9
per cent short in sending 40 per cent
OF its quota FOR the new national army
to Camp Funston after Oct. 3 was the
statement Of Adjt. Gen. J. H. McCord.
This will be caused by the fact that
only white men will be sent to camp
at this time, and there is heavy reg
istration Of negroes in some of the
counties and many OF the wards of the
large cities
Gen. McCord sent kilograms to all
the local boards, telling them the num-
Der OF men to entrain for camp. A
number of counties will be drawn on
at this time for more than 40 per cent.
Under no circumstances will the
heavy registration of negroes oper-
ate to send white men who otherwise
are not within the present quota.
Many boards are unable to furnish
the 40 per cent quota because Of the
failure of the district boards to GER
tify back the names of men accepted
for service.
Missouris quota in the first draft
was Is, $50 men. Five per cent was
dispatched to camp on Sept and 40
per cent on Sept. 13. None but white
men were sent.
Arrangements for taking care of the
negroes, who will be sent last, are
now being worked out by the war de-
partment.

New Weather Words.

The esteemed weather bureau has
sprung a new one. 1t is the word
"smog," and 1t means smoke or fog.
The bureau explains that very fire.
Quently there are times when the mix
ture is apparent in the atmosphere,
and it considers the new word a great
little idea.
Very well, "smog" let 1t be. But why
end there? Let's call a mixture OF
snow and mud "smIg," a mixture OF
snow and SCOT "snoot" and mixture
of snow and hail snail" Thus we.
might have a weather forecast:
Snail today, turning to SnOot to-
night, tomorrow snoggy with smud."

Many Titles Clouded.

Fifteen hundred land owners. repre-
senting 10000 acres of Missouri land,
have never received their patents to
the land from the government, and,
consequently. have imperfect title to
their property. There are in the vault
in the office here 1900 of these pat
ents undelivered.
Some of these date back before the
civil war and represent land bought
under the graduation entries, when
Missouri land sold at 121a cents or

Taxabls Property Increasea.

II any resident of Missouri imagined
the new state tax commission could
find more property owned by public
service corporations than the former
board Of equalization discovered he
will be disappointed. The assessment
for this years taxes, approved by the
board Of equalization, shows the cor
porations will pay on an increase Of
but s36S,132.
In real estate and personal property
there 10 an increase of S48,2777 III.
This was announced by the state board
of equalization some time ago, but the
assessment of steam railroads, street
railways, bridge property, telephone
and telegraph property was not an.
nounced until this week.
The total valuation for this years
taxes stands at $1,950, ,875, ,032. The to-
tai increase, accordingly, for the state
is $4S,6S4,9O7. Real estate and town
lots are valued at $1.359,5S7,729 and
personal property at S390.627,564.
The increase on the holdings of the
United Railways of st. Louis over the
last assessment is but $S4. The old
board of equalization decreased the
assessment of this property nearly
S1,OOO,OOO Of late years, and it never
has got back. The bulk of the in
crease this year is placed on telephone
companies, the amount being 1881, 1,409.
The following gives the values Of
corporations in classes, with COM
parison with last year, and the total
valuation of the large steam railroads
and other public service corporations:

Indictments were returned in the
circuit court here against d. c. Nc
Clung, former warden of the peniten-
tiary, and Lee Jordan, representative
Of a local lumber company that fur
nished the penitentiary with cement
and lumber. The men were charged
with conspiracy and obtaining money
under false pretenses.
McClung is charged with having en-
tered into a conspiracy with Jordan to
defraud the state. Jordan is accused
Of having obtained money from the
state under false pretenses. The In
dictments have to do with the cement
contract only.
Jordan is indicted twice on the ac-
cusation Of charging the state for ce-
ment he did not deliver, and once in
Joint indictment with McClung Both
gave bond, each in the sum Of $1,000
with Col. George G. Ramsey, tie and
timber dealer, and L. s. Parker, su.
perintendent of the state industries at
the penitentiary, as sureties.
One of the indictments against Jor-
can charged MIN with having deceived
Warden Painter into certifying to 1902
for cement that was not delivered
This happened April 16, 1917. The
amount specified in the Joint indict-
ment against McClung and Jordan is
81 $3.50, as the sum out Of which the
state Is said to have been defrauded.
An earlier indictment charged Jordan
with a shortage in his cement deliver
les of Ss,771.
The indictment against the former
warden had been expected for several
days. Warden Painter had made a
statement to the effect that Jordan
was short in his cement deliveries to
the state of from $4,000 to 10000
sacks, worth 30 cents sack, and that
he had overcharged the state for lum-
Der between $4,000 and $500.
