 RUbLE EXCHANGE

+ LONDON-Northern Russia's new ruble currency, that is, the currency arranged by the British government to assist the Archangel Provisional Government in ;tabilizin.. finances, has fixed rate of exchange of forty rubles to one pound. That places the ruble at six pence, rough ly twelve cents in American money
 Exchange on the old rubles, both those issued under the imperial gov ernment and the Kerensky govern ment, has been extremely unstable throughout the Bolshevik regime in all parts of Russia. The distribu- tion of money is uneven. Money famines are constantly appearing in many sections, regardless of the fact that all money presses are kept going day and night.
 E. M. Harvey, an English banker, has been named head of the bureau of the Archangel Provisional Gov ernment entrusted with the control ling the new rubles. At later date agreements may be reached with American and French Banks to keep deposits of francs and dol lars and thus facilitate business be- tween those countries and the Nor thern Russian government.

GERMAN DEVILS x. LEFT TRAPS IN
 WALK OF ARMY

LONDON.-Detection by British army investigators of German "booby-traps" saved the lives of many an officer or man of the British armies during the period when the Germans were retreating from France. "I am convinced, says one officer, "that we nipped many of the Huns favorite plans by capturing near Bray little fac tory where he made his booby-traps. When we occupied it we learned much from the partly completed traps we found lying about the place.
 "One of them was an iron plate. This the willy Hun dropped in a roadway so that it would likely be trod upon by soldier or horse of our advancing troops. The plate was in two parts, with spring in side, and usually contained de- tonator connecting with heavy charge of explosive. When the weight of the foot was removed, the spring sprang into place and ex- ploded the detonator, and the dam age was done.
 "These spring detonators were the Germans speciality. They con- sisted of tube containing little spring with a hook at one end. Attached to the hook was string or wire connecting with the ex- plosive charge. Any arrangement by which the spring could be dis tended and then suddenly contracted served to jerk the string, and the charge was exploded.
 "One night I received a call from our lieutenant colonel who had spent the day directing movements from a recently captured German dugout. He told me he was nervous, and be- lieved he was associating with a "booby", and asked me to send him a squad of engineers to look it over. went myself.
 "The colonel sat in the dugout, about ten feet down, on chair by table. Directly in front of the chair was a petrol can, and tt was the can he feared. He had noticed it early in the morning when the dugout was first occupied. but had been so busy during the day he had had no time to examine it until evening. Then he found nothing, but he had a 'hunch' that it was trap and wanted expert assistance.
 "I dug little trench around the can, but could find no wires, and then tapped it, but received no sound other than that which might come from any old empty can. There was nothing to do but open it, and borrowing the colonePs can opener, went at'it as gingerly as I could. 'tA's
 "It was partly filled with about eight pounds of one of the most deadly powder explosives known to science. This l removed very care fully, and in the bottom of the can found the spring detonator. It had been fastened to the bottom of the can in such way that if the can had been lifted from the floor of the dugout the charge would have exploded and the colonel and his party would have been blown to bits.
 "The colonel paled a little when I showed him just what he had been associating with all day, and very fervently thanked himself for ohav;no his shunch' to lot that can

Gone, But Not
Forgotten

April goth, 1918, was the date of the
passing into the Great Beyond of one
Of the most popular and most dearly
beloved county officials that st. Fran
co.'s county ever had. On that date
the shocking information that Law
renee 0. Wells, County Assessor, had
breathed his last in st. Louis hospi-
tai, where he had been operated upon.
In going through his many papers
and accounts, his good wife, Mrs. Amy
c. Wells, has so frequently come
across the following as to impress her,
as it doubtless will impress others
with the thought that this must have
been his motto through life-as the
"rule and guide to his faith and prac-
tice." All those who best knew him
will recognize in this a striking de-
scription of his Tourney through
life:"
"Happy is the man whose actions bear
The unerring test of the rigid square;
Who through life unswervingly lived
Steadfast and true to man and God.
Seeking by actions of charity and love
To gain admission to the Lodge above;
Knowing the stone, in the rubbish
cast,
Should cover the Masters work at
last"

The Board of Equalization of st.
Francois county met with the State
Board of Equalization, in Jefferson
City the last of the week. The mem
bers of the local board attending the
meeting were County Judges w. A.
Mitchell and J. w. Jones, Assessor
Mrs. Amy C. Wells, and Surveyor
Thos. H. Holman. Hon. o. L, Munger
cf Piedmont, who has been employed
as special counsel for st. Francois
county in assisting in the collection
of the delinquent taxes of the lead
companies, was also present to assist
in case any legal complications should
arise. Attorneys 4. A. Rozier and
Polite Elvins were also in attendance
at the hearing to look after the inter-
ests of the lead companies.
The presentments that were made
by the local board, before the State
Board of Equalization, could hardly
have been stronger in the county's
interests. Mr.. Rozier made talk in
the interest of his clients, and was
followed by Mr.. Munger for st. Fran
co.'s county, who went into the condi-
tion of affairs in this county, espe-
cially in regard to the great mining
companies, giving the members of the
State Board of Equalization quite a
clear insight into the situation. The
Assessor, Mrs. Wells, also helped out
the situation and made the county's
position very materially stronger,
Showing conclusively the reasons for
raises in the assessment, especially
| in regard to the great mining COM
panies. and showing that she had a
complete grasp of the question of
making assessments.

WHAT THE HOME PAPER is

Our state is dotted with villages, in
each of which one or more newspapers
are published. They do not claim to
be a review of the world. These coun-
try newspapers appear faithfully week
after week, recording the happenings
of the neighborhood, lending assist
ance to the unfortunate, extending
sympathy and consolation to the be-
reaved, chronicling with pardonable
pride any improvements in the com.
munity and bringing to the fireside
a record of happenings that are o1

Of India.
The country newspaper is of inesti
mable value in maintaining the mora
and financial standards of the com
munity. 1t is something in which the
entire neighborhood can feel a com
mon interest. 1t is deserving of the
steady support, not only of the home
folks, but also of those who look back

A recent dispatch sent out from
Washington stated that the Depart
mcnt of Labor has received informa-
tion of serious difficulties threatening
in the lead mining industry of Missou-
ri, through alleged reputation by the
st. Joseph Lead Co. of an award rem
dered last year by the War Labor
Board, when differences between the
employers and workers endangered
production.
1t is now alleged by representatives
of the workers that the company has
refused to stand by the award to work.
ers, as well as in regard to other
things. The men are being evicted
from their homes, it is charged, and
their places in the shops are being
filled by imported labor. The de-
partment has assigned P. F. Gill,
Commissioner of Cancellation, to con-
fer with representatives Of both sides
in an effort to adjust the grievances.
About 500 men are said to be involved
in the dispute.
While the above is, in the main, cor
rect, it is, nevertheless, lacking con-
siderably in information as to what
actually .transpired at Herculaneum
last week, the threatened eviction OF
workmen from company houses being
the fuse that came very near to caus-
ing terrific "jar". While no evic-
tion actually took place, it is fact
that those in charge of the affairs OF
the St. Joe-Doe Run Lead Co. at Her
culaneum had their "pins all set fol-
the drive, contrary not only to their
own written agreement, but also to
the decision of the War Board.
That such a move would have
caused bloodshed there is no reason tc
doubt, as those who were threatened
with eviction were prepared to resist
to the uttermost such drastic action
They were occupying such houses un'
der special company lease, or agree
mcnt, whereby they had signed away
the right to thirty days notice to va
cate, and a clause was inserted re.
quiring occupation on five days writ

none of these men against whom civic
tion proceedings came so near being
set in motion had been given writ
ten notice by the company to vacats
the premises, with their families. 81

Pull Together
for Good of All

An article in last weeks issue, en-
titled "County Judges Strong for
Service" causes Prosecuting Attorney
Golfer to write the editor Of The
Times a letter requesting of him to
make correction therein.
Our statement that the Prosecuting
Attorney had withdrawn his suit,
flied against the County Court, may
have been, and no doubt was, prema-
ture; however be it as it may, we do
know that, after having had per-
sonal conversation with Judges
Mitchell, Matkin and Jones, and At
torneys Mathews and Munger, that
they were informed and told by Mr.,
Golfer "that if the County Court Or
de1ed him to proceed, in conjunction
with Mathews and Munger, in bring
ing about some legal steps toward the
collection of taxes due the county and
state from the Desloge, Federal and
St. Joe Lead Companies, that he
would stay and dismiss the cases and
all proceedings he had filed against
them, and that he was for the County
Court in this matter, right or wrong

ing received this information from
Judges Mitchell, ratkir. and Jones
and Attorneys Mathews and Munger

Court, and could not legally be helt

arrived when some degree Of faith anC
