declared by the United States against

Street statisticians Immediately got

Definite steps toward carrying out
the program of the management Of
American Linseed for capital re-
adjustment of the company may be
taken at to-morrow's meeting of the
directors, according to interests in
close touch with the affairs of the

to contemplate a new issue of pre-
ferred stock to take over some Of the
company's outside properties, includ-
ing Nuco Butter. These properties

The Loan to China


The simultaneous announcement from
Washington and the Orient that Japan
would enter the consortium to which
British, French and American banking
groups, in cooperation with their re-
spective foreign Offices. had already
attached themselves for the purpose
of financing Chinese needs to the ex-
tent of S250,O00,O00 was regarded as
a profoundly significant development in
the financial district. Bankers ex-
planned that Japan had practically
zion, but would be free TO do things
Independently that the consortium did
not care to undertake. The matter of
deciding whether there shall be public
offering Of bonds against the advances
Of installments of s50,000,000 each was
said to be somewhat remote thus far.

Atchison Seeking Funds

The rush Of the railroads into the
investment market in search Of infor-
nation as to terms under which they
can do equipment financing, continues.
Atchison is, perhaps, the newest in
quirer. The New York Central lines,
which have already placed equipment
orders, arc talking about an issue
Of between s1o,oOo,0oo and SIS, 100000.
The issue of $40 100000 to 5O,0ooOo
Of ten-year notes Of the Pennsylvania,
part Of which will be used to retire
maturing obligations, is believed to be
nearer contamination than the others.

GUNSH0T WOUND
HAS FATAL RESULT I

After suffering several weeks
at the Gibson hospital as result
of having accidentally shot him
self through the stomach while
playing with 4 shotgun, Russell,
the 12-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Pearson, died Satur-
day afternoon at 2 O'Clock at that
institution. The funeral services
were conducted Monday after
noon at the Pond Christian
church, the Rev. E. c. McDougle
officiating. Besides his parents,
young Pearson is survived by
four brothers.
For some time it was believed
his recovery was possible and
then probable ; however, the ma
ture of the internal wounds devel-
oped symptoms which rendered
recovery impossible. His condi-
ton had been growing worse dur
ing the several days previous to
his death.

Prices of stamped envelopes
have been raised by the Postofhce

from 81 to $1.4O thousand, as a
result of the high cost of paper.
When plain envelopes were in
creased in price some time ago,

firms and individuals have been
buying stamped envelopes from

C. Stockton. The sales through
out the country ran up into the
millions and almost exhausted the
supply.
He stated he has a large supply
ot the old tWO-cent postals and
three-cent stamped envelopes, no
longer i'll Use, and he is expecting
dies from the department with
which one-cent and two-cents
can be stamped on these postals
and envelopes, which will then be
sold, since the government is also

is concerned, recognizing its scar

MEXICO MUST SHOW

United States Prepares To Take

(By Associated Pressl

Washington, May 31.-Recom-
mendation of the Mexican gov
ernment will be Withheld until an
agreement to revise the consti-
tuition of 1917 in the form of a
treaty is entered into, was made
by Senator Fall to he Foreign
Relations Committee today in his
report of the subcommittee
which has been investigating con-
ditions in Mexico. Should the
Mexican government refuse to
accede to such condition of recog-
milton, it was suggested that the
American government renew no
tice it would hold ito definite
reckoning" those in Mexico re-
sponsible for sufferings and losses
sustained by American citizens.
Failure of the Mexican govern
ment to restore order and peace
and effectively protect Americans
will be followed by a plan sug-
gested by a dispatch of an armed
forced into Mexico ito open and
maintain every line of communi-
cation between the City of MeXi-
CO and every seaport and border
port" 1t was recommended that
the president ad interim, De la
Huerta, be not recognized until it
is assured the Mexican people ap-
prove of his selection. His admin
istraticn, moreover, must be sta
bic and he must be disposed to
observe rules of the international
committee. The report covers

does not open on "court day" as
it is known, since the first Mon

not come until the 9TH. However.
since it is the custom to begin
Fiscal court proceedings on the

SAVE CHICKEN FEED
AND GET MORE EGGS

By culling out and selling the
chickens from your flock that mott
early in the season you will to very
large extent remove the boardcrs. Ow-
ing to the high prices of feed, this is
especially desirable at this time. Also
since the prospects for egg prices the
coming winter are that they will be
higher than ever before, farmers
should keep only good laying hens. By
culling your focks according to direc-
tions given in a recent publication Of
the College of Agriculture, you can
eliminate these boarders who are eat
ing the expensive feed and at the
same time get practically IS many
eggs from those that remain.

A BIG INCREASE
IN PROPERTY Value:
Figures OF City Assessor Death
erage Ready For Board OF
Supervisors Monday

An increase of almost 100000
over the year 1919, before the re-
part of the City Board of Super
visors, reports will be shown in
the assessment of Richmond
property, in the report to be sub
mited by City Assessor G. w. T.
Deatherage.
The report has been completed
and the compilation made and
ready for the members of the
board at the regular meeting
which will open on next Monday
morning at City Hall. This will
be one of the features Of the
week. The report of Mr.. Death
erage will show that the assessed
valuation of property owned by
whites is $500, $50; colored
'$214,61O; total, $4,176,94O.
The figures for last year were
whites, $3,SOO,37O; colored, $1S3,-
900, total $3,9S3,37O.
There will doubtless be a
change in the figures after the
action of the board, however. it
is the general belief that the in
crease will be very creditabie.
The work of making the assess
ment was quite extensive and the
repot will be presented in neat.

DISCIPLES GIVE
$250,O0O IN DRIVE
Drive Will Be Continued Until
All Churches Have Oppor-
tunity To Take Part

DR.. Clifford Viewer will be in
charge of the Kentucky Division
Disciples World Movement until
the $1,200,O00 quota for the year
has been raised or until every
Christian church in Kentucky has
had an opportunity of saying
whether it desires to have it's
share in the movement. DIR.
Weaver said the total pledged to
date was in excess of $250,000.
"We are proud of the effort
made by the Disciples churches
which have responded SO nobly to
the call for Christian service" :"
said DR.. Joseph W. Hagin, state
director of the campaign, of Lex
ington. "It has been a lesson to
us in unselfisl devotion to the
cause of the Master and to the
great cause of education and mis-
sions of the Disciples Brother
hood. The fact that many
churches have had other cam
paigns on their hands and have
not had the opportunity to make
the campaign necessary to raise
the quotas assigned to them has
handicapped us and made neces
sary a continuance of the cam
paign. DR.. Weaver is amply able
to look after it, and opportunity
will be given before it closes for
every member of the Christian
church in Kentucky to give or
pledge a sum of money for this
most worthy cause.
"Surely the gifts of the
churches which have responded to
Our appeal is like treasure laid
up in Heaven for it will make
possible the payment of living
salaries to hard-pressed teachers
in Our colleges and improvements
which absolutely were necessary,
if these colleges were to maintain
their standard of excellence in
former years"
DR.. Weaver will have an office
in the Central Christian church's
educational department at Lex
ington, from which he will con-
duct the campaign sfars-the- re-
mainder of the fund, which it is
hoped to raise within the next
two months.
