The lynching was conducted in a
manner which the authorities char

The Cost in Terms of Mills

The tax Of as mills on the dollar will more than pay the total cost Of the
aboye. bond issue. $166354l200, the total assessed valuation Of AuIrn
County multiplied by the tax Of is mills will yield $79SI99S whom 0c totu
cost of the principal and interest per year is only $7625O00. In other worl,
As mills on the dollar will yield $350998 more than enough to pay the an'ln
cost Of the bonds with interest.
The average assessed valuation of cattle in Audran County is $1,000 pr
head. At the rate of AS mills, the cost of two hundred miles of hard surfaced
roads would be 1O5 cents per year per head on the cattle of Aud@in County.
Forty counties in whole or by districts have voted bonds for t, .or,rl.-
ton of hard surfaced roads and are proceeding with such construction.
The Federal Government has already appropriated $$275DO0OO0O ns
construction of hard surfaced roads and is now considering bill for additional
on $400O000OOO0 for this purpose. Mssouris share of the money that has
already been appropriated IS over $9O00NOOO0 and she will also receive nor
snare of any additional money that is appropriated.
The voters of Audrain County pay their cash to the State and Federal
Government, and in addition those who wv automobiles pay IN o the State
Treasurer a heavy automobile tax. The State and Federal Government says
to the voters of Audrain County "f you show a disposition to construct good
roads and will put up a certain amount of money for their construction, we
will match you dollar for dollar and return to you the money that you have
paid into oT treasures to be used in the construction of hard surfaced roads.
However, if you do not want your W money bach, we will not only not assist
you in the construction of hard surfaced roads but will take your money and
use it in the construction OF hard surfaced roads in the counties that are ready
to vote the bonds necessary tc secure State and Federal aid"
The Federal Government has already appropriated $275OOOOOO 90 for
Missouri, whose duty it is to see that all roads approved by the Federal Gov
eminent ire constructed strictly according to the Governments plans and spec
ifcatons. Any person wishing a copy of these plans and specifications can
obtain the sam by writing t, the State Engineer at jefferson City, Mo.
1t is generally understood that the votus of Audran County will ask the
proper authorities to build p gravel road known as a hard surfaced road. The
width of the road to tie not less than sixteen feet and the depth of the gravel
ten inches.
These hard surfaced roads are to be built by contract and the contractor
will be required to give a bond that he will construct the road according to the
plans and specifications of the Government. The fact that the Federal Gov
eminent is spending Sc many millions of dollars upon the construction Of hard
these roads are constructed according to the plans and specifications.

FUND FOR EXPORTERS
Government Preparing to Loan
One Billion Dollars.
Nature of Collateral Security Required
Remains to Be Worked
Out.

Washington, March 26.-The gov
ernment's billion dollar fund for financ
ing foreign trade soon will be opened
to American exporters through loans
from the war finance corporation,
Regulations being prepared by the
corporation to cover advances will
provide for the lending Of sums up to
100000 900 to any individual firm, cor
poration or export association, prob
ably at 5A per cent for maximum
of five years, on adequate collateral
The matter of the collateral secur-
ity to be accepted remains to be
worked out, but indications are that
paper representing merchandise en-
gagged in the export processes will be
acceptable Collateral to the extent of
1875 per cent Of the loan probably will
be required.
Scores of informal applications for
information or for advances have been
received from individual exporting
firms or representatives of the export
associations being organized under the
Webb act, the war finance corporation
reported today. Preparations for max
ing the loans will be rushed
Reports indicate that exporters are
planning to make extensive use Of the

Plans Made for Settling Claims
Resulting From Wooden
Vessel Building.
ABANOONS INDUSTRY
Chairman Hurley Agrees to Make
Concessions for investments In
Yards as Well as All Con-
tracts Cancelled.

Washington, March 26-At con-
ference between the shipping board
and representatives. of "a yards in 10
states on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts
plans for winding up the government S
war venture in wooden ships were
made.
Reasonable concessions" in pay
ment of claims made for investments
in yards as well as for cancelled con-
tracts were promised by Chairman
Hurley and prompt settlement was
assured. General Manager Piez of'the
Emergency Fleet corporation will be
given authority tomorrow to close the
governments accounts with the build
ers as soon as the claims are properly
certified and no more contracts for
wooden ships will be let.
Claims Aggregate 100000.
With the government retirement
from the wooden ship industry, one of
the developments of the national emer-
gency virtually will be abandoned, ac-
cOrding to the builders.
Claims for losses due to the creation
as war measure of shipyards which
now will have to be scrapped as worth
less, are expected to aggregate not
more than 100000. 1t has not been
possible to estimate the amount neces-
sary to settle contract claims, because
inventories Of expenditures for mate
rial and labor have not been made.
A total of more than $100,000,000 in
contracts has been cancelled but in
many instances work had not begun,
so the amount to be paid by the gov
eminent will be correspodingly less.
Builders Express satisfaction.
Satisfaction with the action of Chair
man Hurley and his associates was ex-
pressed by representatives of the
yards who later at separate meeting
discussed plans for presenting their
claims. Each yard will act independ-
emily.
The ship builders were frank in stat
ing that the decision Of the Shipping
board to confine its future construction
to steel vessels, meant that at least SO
per cent of the facilities for building
wooden ships would be useless in the
future A total of 1873 ways was rep
resented at the meeting, nearly all of
which will be abandoned or torn away
to permit the use of the land for manu-
featuring and other purposes. Vessels
now on the ways will not be completed
orders having been given to finish only
the hulls which probably will be used
as barges.
