The circuit court OF Palm Beach
county Inns found tina, Richard

his own affairs and that his wife has
not unduly Influenced him in order
f~raudulently TO got possession OF his

the charges made by the sons and
the defense put In by the elder
Croker and his wife, the court says,
the whole matter resolves itself into
the answers to two questions.
THE ficst question Is, Is Richard

The next question Is, is he SO UNI

Liable for Vicious Dogs.

Jefferson City, April 16.-Thc
owner OF a vicious dog must either
keep it confined on his own premises
where it can do no harm or kill the
animal. A failure to comply with
such regulations makes the owner
liable for damages and any other evil
consequences that may follow, the Sill.
prene court decided today. The case
came here from St. Joseph. The H.
year-old daughter of William T..
Clinkenbeard was bitten by dog b.
longing to Henry Reinert, December
1o, 1913, and died some six weeks
later from rabies. The parents sued
for $4,000. The trial court instruct
ed the jury to return verdict for
Reinert, on the ground that the Pc
tition alleged that the child died
from the effects of the bite of the dog,
when in fact the bite would not have
caused death.
Judge Graves reverses this finding.
holding that had not the dog bitten
the child she would not have died.
1t was the duty of the owner of the
dog to have either killed it or kept it
secure, SO Judge Graves says, and
adds:
"A vicious dog is a nuisance and
should be removed the same as rat
tlesnake."
The court holds that the owner OF
the dog is clearly liable for damages.
The child was bitten away from the
premises of the owner of the dog

Test Your Seed Corn.

Corn planting season is drawing
near, and farmers are thinking of get
ting out their old corn planters and
getting them in shape to plant their
seed There are many who are test
ing their seed corn and thereby play
ing safe SO far as they car but there
are entirely too many farmers in
Bates County who fail to select their
seed and worse than that they fail to
test it before planting. Fifty per
cent of the corn in Bates county IS
grown from INFESTED seed. This fact
shows itself in the number of thin
stands, that are to be seen over Eates
County during the growing season.
We have endeavored to show hereto
fore, in this issue the advantage Of
having a 100 per cent stand. The
large yields do not necessarily c,me
from large varieties of corn, but they
do come most invariably from per-
feet stands of good, strong, healthy
stalks. 1t is the ears upon every
stalk and not the ears upon every
three stalks that make the big yields.
Farmers of Bates County, test your
seed secure a 100 per cent stand with
an ear on every stalk as near as pcs
sible. This will assure you a high
average by far than you can hope to
secure through careless methods that
are being practiced SO much III this
county.

Mother and Daughter Week.

Mother and Daughter Week, May
3 to May 9, planned by the Young
Peoples division of the Missouri
Sunday School Association, is ma
tional movement and is three-fold in
purpose, as follows:
/. To help the mothers understand
and appreciate more fully their par
entail obligations.
2. To direct the daughters into a
more wholesome and worthy appre-
citation of their homes and mothers.
To help mothers and daughters to be
real chums.
3. To center the attention of both
mothers and daughters on the place
that the Sunday school and che
church should and must have in their
lives. To enlist both mothers and
daughters in the membership of the
Sunday school and church; to live the
christian ideals and to promote the
activities and work of the church.
A delightful program for the week
will help realize these aims. Start
with q dinner for the mothers and
daughters, preferably May 6. This
can and should be made really
worth while entertainment with
songs, readings and talks.
Then for Sunday, May 9, there
should be a special Sunday school
program in the morning and special
church service in the morning or
evening.
Every Sunday school in our coun-
ty should observe the week in some
way and plan to conserve the results.
Ask your district young peoples
superintendent for programs or write
me for further information or pro-
grams

MONEY ELUDES STATE TAX
Now the Tax Commission is Trying
to Find Out What Became of It
"A Big Variation in the
Land Values.

Jefferson City, April 8.-The state
tax commission is trying to find out
what became Of all the money that
was in the banks of the state, which
was held as deposits OF various kinds
last May and disappeared to very
great extent June /. That the asses
sors were not able to find this money,
as we'll as large per cent of notes
and taxable bonds, is in evidence
from the fact that they returned a
total OF only $I75,563,5S6 for the ell
tire state. The commission conf
menced today by taking the bank
statements obtained by the state bank
commissioner and the comptroller OF
the currency, covering as near the
date OF assessment as possible.
Atchison county is the only county
i'll the state that has accounted tor
money on hand, taxable notes and
bonds. This most remarkable coun-
ty has run Io4 per cent of the basis
of the bank statements, or accounted
for a per cent more given III to the
assessor than is accounted for in the
bank statements. 1t stands alone like
q dead tree, in great clearing st.
Louis has returned only = per cent
1T has been the complaint for
years." said Chairman Williams of the
commission, that money, notes and
taxable bonds arc not given into the
small amount in comparison with the
total of this class of property held in
the banks. At present l cannot give
the exact figures showing how far
apart the banks statements and the
assessors returns are for this years
taxable property, but the commission
will do its best to give as nearly the
exact result as possible to the state
board of equalization as soon as VIC
have completed our figures
Members of the commission called
attention to the difference in the re-
turns of the various assessors in the
matter of valuing land. For conven-
fence, q map of the state is used and
the assessment per acre of each coun-
ty noted for the present years taxes.
The map looks Xix crazy quilt. Nod
away county shows the highest valua-
