The Snow.
The snow had begun i'll the gloam-

And busily all the night
Had been heaping roads and paths,
Till everything was white. %
And when the people got UP i'll the
morning,
And everything was white.
And they said that all Of it was
All in the night.
The children were glad it was Satur-

Because they could go out to play,
And they thought they could have

Because they could play all day.

Watch Your Vote Mr.. Farmer.
John L. Sullivan, Secretary of
State, George H. Middlecamp,
State Treasurer and Frank w.
McAllister, Attorney General,
did not support the proposed sin
gle tax amendment to the con-
stitution of Missouri when it
was submitted to a vote of the
people in November, 1912. They
voted against the idea of maxi
ing land bear all the taxes lev
led by the state, the counties and
the municipalities. The single
tax idea was defeated at the
polls by a majority Of 421, 490,
the largest majority ever regis
tered against a proposed amend
ment to the constitution of Mis-
souri, in the history Of the state.
AS state officials in 1918 these
three men voted against a some
what modified form of the sin
gle tax when they voted to pre-
vent more than double the ex-
listing amount of taxes due at
the present time from being lev
led on the farm and city homes
of the state. Single tax simply
means that land shall pay all
the taxes. The effort to more
than double land valuation in
1918 was a long move in the
direction of this item, but it
failed because the three men
named would not stand for the
injustice.
State Auditor Hackman voted
in 1918 to sustain the high val
uation on land. He is the Repub-
lican nominee to succeed himself
in office. If the owners of farms
and homes in the cities want to
see their land forced to pay
double taxation, they should
vote for Mr.. Hackman. If they
believe that land is paying its
full share, they should vote for
John L. Sullivan for Secretary of
State and George H. Middle
camp for State Auditor. The
proposition is a simple one. Any
man or woman who owns land
can understand it.

ister, said to-day.
Signor Scialoia said there had been

The Minister declared, however, that
despite the precipitancy of the French
action he was sangune of the out
come. He believed solution would
quickly come with the withdrawal Of
the German forces from the Ruhr re-
glon and the subsequent evacuation
by the French Of the territory they
have just occupied.
Baron Scialoia said his understand

President Carranza's suggestion of a

Workers Demand
DAnnunziO Leaue
Fi;ume Strike Settled With
Victory for Men, but
Insist General Retire

TRIESTE, April o.-The general
strike at Fiume has been settled. Work
was resumed this morning. The Ma
tional Council granted all demands Of
the strikers.
Gabrielle d'Annunzio interceded on
behalf Of the strikers and advised that
TINS action be taken.
FIUME, April 9.-The strike leaders
to-day asserted they were insistent on
having Gabrielle d'Annunzio leave FL
ume. They said that if they were un-
successful locally the strike would
spread to Trieste and then to Milan
and threaten Italy.
The workers demanded normal food
rations, which they said were impos-
sible because of the partial blockade
The national council has promised to
increase the present ration, but the
strikers are refusing to listen to this.
The city is completely tied up.
Troops are quartered at strategic
points for use in case Of violence in
connection with the strike. There is
no communication with the outside
world. Railroad traffic ceased this
afternoon, the last train carrying away
many persons who did not desire to
face the threatened uprising
Regular troops say the strike is

DAnnunzio to leave the city. The Ma
tlonal Council, which is under the
thumb of D'Annunzio. is now beset bv
the dilemma of ousting the poet by
obeying the strikers or OF obeylng
DAnnunzio and continuing the ration
ing of the strikers.
D'Annunzlo also is faced with a dis
agreement among the troops over
Monarchist and Republican feuds
This, coupled with the attitude of the
working groups, places him in the
most serious situation since his oc-
cunatlnn of Emma
