AGENT URGES PLANTING
 OF EARLY CORN PATCH
Williams Says Crop from Early Va. rieties Will Relieve Feed Short
 age and Reduce Grocery Bill.

Planting of patches of early varie- ties of corn will relieve the shortage of feed and will also reduce the family grocery bill, according to County Agent T. M. Williams in statement to the Log Cabin Democrat. With the prices for all feed for stock at high figures and old H. C. L. lowering over the family table, the county agent ses real need for early corn, both for stock and for table use.
 MT. Williams recommends "Coun- try Gentleman" as the early variety where feed for stock is desired. The variety is early maturing, often reaching it's full growth within from 60 to 75 days after planting. It bears good sized ear and makes good forage Farmers in the county will act wisely by planting any good vari- ety of early corn, and using 1t 60 days hence for stock feed instead of buying of the prices now prevailing.
 For table use, there are several va rieties which Mr. Williams thinks the farmers OI lDe county VIII Ilild pIO able for cultivation in the early spring month. Adams early is small sized ear and produces a plen- tiful crop. It and numerous other varieties suply the table with early corn, and a patch in the family garden will make a dent in the bill, the agent thinks.
 Mr. Williams will contribute ar ticles from time to time to the Log Cabin Democrat on farming topics. During the planting season, he ex- poets to make this feature of the dem onstration work as helpful as possl- ble. In many cases, his articles Will reach people whom it will be out ot question for him to reach personally A part of the farm service which the agent has used to advantage has been his correspondence. Farmers have submitted all kinds of questions to him for solution, and where the points could be covered in a letter, he has written. Where his personal atten- tion was needed, he has gone to the farm and helped out.

HON. STEWART UPSET
 BY BUM PROPAGANDA

Asserting his willingness at all times to apologize when he is in the wrong and disclaiming any knowledge of presumably henious crime of which he is accused in an anonymous letter lately received, B. J. Stewart. negro baggageman at the Missouri Pacific station, has addressed a plea to the Log Cabin Democrat to put him right again before the public. Stew art apparently is much upset by the unwarranted allegation brought against his irreproachable conduct, and is deeply concerned that no such things be believed of him. To the writer of the letter Stewart publicly says this: "Please let me see you so l can beg your pardon, as I am a law abiding citizen"
 So far as investigation today re- vealed, Stewart heard the train whis- tie about the time he started to the noetoffioa for tho mail Tn h;s haste it seems that he narrowly missed a lady with the mail truck, a near ac- cident which brought forth the un- signed letter and resulted in much misery for Stewart His friends at the station do not believe he inten- tionally did anything which could be taken amiss, and joined his plea for the Log Cabin Democrat to publish this so Stewards mind would be at ease in public.

COUNTY COLLECTS $157,295 IN TAXES
 DURING OCTOBER New Card System Promises to Eliminate Historic December Rush and Congestion,
 Says Collector

State and county taxes collected on real and personal property for the month of October amounted to $157,2 ,295, according to the monthly report of James F. Hawkins, county tax collector.
 During this period city coiIec- tions amounted to SSe.1T0.37.
 Taxes only became due on oc- tOber 1, and tbis is the first re- mittance to be made by the tax collector for 1920.
 All collections were divided, each fund receiving it's share and checks covering that amount have been mailed to the head of each depart ment.
 Of the amount collected, the state treasury receives $56y ySOO.9S, while $61,1 1,170.29 goes to the gen. eraI county fund; SS0. 0.323.74 to the general school fund. and e7ys65.38 to the rural district school fund.
 ApprO ximately 5,3CO property owners paid taxes ntheir real and personal property in October which is fie largest number for that Deriod in local history, accord ing to officials.
 A new system was adopted this yenr when cards showing the amount of taxes due were mailed to all property owners in Jeffer- son county. These cards have brought in many persons to nay taxes during the first thirty days they were due, stated Mir. Hawkins, and never before hns the tax cof- lector's office done as much husi- ness during this period.
 "We attribute the large amount of business in October to the cards. which have proven most success- ful.- he said. "svith many coming in each day fO get the payment of taxes behind them. we expect to avoid the large crowds and con- gcstion of the last few days of De- cember to a great extent.
 There nre .36.o00 tnx payers in the county nnd of this number 5,291 have already received their re- ceipts. This Is a splendid showing and we only hope the tax payers will continue to- come in during this month as they did last"
