Despite the civil warfare in many

this does not include articles in

and that the delivery in all parts of

LOVE ACKNOWLEDGED
AS PAY FOR GRAIN

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. I'm less thar
five minutes 100000 bushels Of corr
were pledged for free distribution to
the starving peoples of Europe and
the Far East.
1t was at the sixth annual meeting
of the Illinois Agricultural Associa-
ton, following an appeal by President
J. r. Howard of the American Farm
Bureau Federation. He asked simply
that farmers of America give a part
of the huge corn crop which remains
unsold.
Fifty cars were pledged by the H.
lnols members TO the Farm Bureau
Federation.
kilograms were then read from
farm bureaus in Missouri, Indiana,
Ohio and Kansas announcing that
farmers there were pledging another
100000 bushels. This. will make a
train of 100 cars of corn in the first
shipment.
The movement is spreading to the
whole corn belt of the middle west.
Other states are expected to contrib
ute generously.
Inc corn is to be assigned to the
more needy countries through Her
bert Hoover. Arrangements are be-
ing made to soon load a steamer for
exporting the huge cargo to Europe
where it will alleviate the hunger
which the people of Central Europe
and Asia Minor are suffering.
"God has been good to us". said
a.
getting Committee of the Illinois Ag-
ricultural Association to the assem-
bled delegates. "We have plenty to
eat and more. Let US market our sur
plus corn in the shape of relief for the
unfortunate and take our pay in love-"
That stampeded the meeting and in
a moment a dozen men were on their
feet offering to share their crop with
the needy men, women and children
of the stricken countries.

MISSOURI METALS BONDHOLD-
Frs BUY MINE LA NOTE

The foreclosure sale of the Mine La
Motto property Tuesday resulted in
its purchase by the bondholders. There
was only one bid made when Special
Master Walter N. Davis offered the
property and that was for $4,000.
An agreement had previously been
reached between the various elements
represented in the legal mix-up, so
that the sale of the assets of the de-
funct Missouri Metals Corporation
did not take place, the real estate and
all improvements, including machinery
and equipment, passed together into
the control of the bondholders.
In the purchase of the property the
bondholders assume the first and sec
ond mortgages against it. and that
with all the accrued interest, taxes,
interest, and expenses incident to the
litigation will mount the total cost of
the property to the new owners, ac-
cording to their statement to about
S525,000 1t is understood that the
total cost since the Missouri Metals
went into bankruptcy will reach the
figure bid by the bOndholders, or $751;
600
Apparently the purchasers had no
very definite aims IN the acquiring of
the property other than an effort to
save a part of the million dollars they
had put into it. The bonds are in the
hands of something over hundred
persons, and all negotiations were
carried on through committee, the
members of which were here.
The members of the committee dis
cussed in tentative way with several
local persons the matter of selling off
the $4,000 acres of wild land lying
south of town, and also went into the
matter of laying the agricultural land
off into farms and selling the sur
face rights to farmers.
1t is said there are between 200 and
300 farms on the property and that
figured at a conservative figure they
could be sold for over 100000.
The wild lands are estimated to have
a sale value of 100000 to $125,000.
There is also some discussion of the
ACCESSIBILITY Of relnancing the propo-
sition and attempting to operate the
mines. Pending the consideration of
all these matters, there is really but
a little to be said other than in the
way of conjecture.
Just where the creditors of the
Missouri Metals Corporation came in
does not appear. Il rather appears
that they do not come in, The gene |
raj supposition is that of the hundreds |
of thousands of dollars owed by the
dcfunct concern, not a penny will be |
