County Assessors Adjourn With- | out Plan For Catching Them. Columbia, Mo., Feb.—-The Missouri | Association of County Assessors elect- ed these offices for the next year: President, J. T. Noel, Monroe coun- ty; vice-president, J. M. Phillips, Shelby county; treasurer, J. W. Mau- pin, Howard county. The association adjourned its two, days meeting here before any plans were perfected for catching tax dodgers. Most of the time was spent in discussing equalization of assess- ments. The speakers agreed that in most counties the assessor is able to list not more than 10 per cent of the amount of money in the county and that, in many instances, the leading bank of a county has more money on deposit than is assessed to all the per- sons in the county. | Every speaker told how he tried to shield the farmer, who is unable to} hide his property. In most instances! the land is assessed at about one- third its value, while, according to law, it should be assessed at its actual cash value. The meeting was addressed by State Auditor John P. Gordon and) Isador Loeb of the faculty of the Uni-| versity of Missouri. The next meet-| ing will be in dita tis Mo. | “My son, I have paid out a good| deal of money to learn that when the) deacon borrows money of you, ask |. security on his note, just as you, would from an ordinary sinner.

HON. GEO. B. ELLIS PRAISED State Board of Agriculture Pass- ed Resolutions Endorsing His Work. At a called meeting of the State Board of Agriculture held at Spring- field, Mo., January 27, 191Q, the fol- lowing resolutions with reference to the retirement of the Hon. George B. Ellis, as Secretary of the Board were | adopted: “George B. Ellis,af Bates Co-, was in 1907 elected Secretary of the State Board of Agriculture of Missouri, be- ing, as required by law, ‘a practical farmer and well-versed in agricultur- al science,’ “It was a fortunate selection for Mr. Ellis, for the State Board of Agri- culture and for the State of Missouri. It gave Mr. Ellis the opportunity to develop his innate qualities of hon- esty, patience, diligence and loyalty. As he worked with his farmers’ insti- tutes and publications, with the State ' Veterinarian and the State Highway Engineer, his labors molded his character, and his character stamped | his work. “The State Board of Agriculture, meeting but seldom, depends for its |repute and efficiency largely upon | the efforts of its Secretary. “From beginning to finish of his secretaryship the Board has endorsed the work of Mr. Ellis as good and the people of Missouri have a right in |taking pride if their Board of Agri- | culture, “The State of Missouri has had in Geo. B. Ellis an appointee who fully complied with section 18 of its con- |Stitution, in that he personally devot- ed his time and’ powers, physically jand mentally, to the performance of the duties of his office. “The State Board of Agriculture in parting with its loyal secretary can honestly say to him. ‘Farewell.

Rawlins, Wyo., Feb.—Six drinks of whisky distributed equally between two telegraph operators at Dana tied | up the whole Union Pacific system in Wyoming Saturday according to ad- |missions made by the, railroad offi- cials. The operators were not until Sat- urday familiar with the effects of whisky and did not imagine that such a small amount could put them “un der the table.” As that day was Lin- coln’s birthday they felt so good over jit that they decided drinking whisky | was the only decent way of cclebrat- | ing. “Let's go after more booze,’’ sug- | gested one of them after the celebra- | tion had progressed so far as the six | drinks. “Sure,”’ agreed the other, “but how about the trains.”” “T'll fix them,’’ said the first, and | heat once swung the red signal board }to hold all fast mail trains and huny outa signal on the station door say- ing: “This station is closed.”’ “Now, then,’’ said the second oper- ator, ‘‘this in Lincoln's birthday and the Union Pacific will have to get along without us for to-day.’’ A good time was had by the opera- tors, but the road officials could not see things the way they did, and the two were arrested. They will be the mails. Real Estate Transfers. Warranty Deeds. Frank Wagner to Edo Ricklefs 18 a sec 17 Osage twp $2700. Lucien Pelley to Benjamin Harri- son 120 a see 3 Spruce twp $5900.

Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 14.—In a ‘2, 000-word front-page editorial The Kansas City Star to-day says, in part: | “Tn his Lincoln Day speech in New | York Saturday President Taft admit- ted a loss of popularity for his admin- listration that might cause the Repub- lican party to lose the next House of representatives. He might have gone \further. So great-has been the de- fection that if the presidential election were to be held next November there is probably only one Republican— Theodore Roosevelt-who would stand a chance of carrying the coun- try against such a ticket, for example, as Gaynor and Folk. “This remarkable publi sentiment the President devoted much of his speech to explaining. He attributed it to the misrepresentation of the new tariff law by newspapers disgruntled over not getfing a larger reduction in the duty on paper, and to'the hysteria which he said was the aftermath of the Roosevelt agitation —an ‘hysteria’ incidentally, which was responsible for his own nomina- tion and election. “But this explanation is inadequate.
