Wm. R.
COMPTON Investment Company at the same time offered par for $463,000 of
Refunding bonds, said bonds to bear four and one-half percent interest, payable
semi-annually to mature without option of prior payment as follows:
$21,000 in 1922.
$21,000 in 1923.
$22,000 in 1924.
$23,000 in 1925.
$25,000 in 1926.
$25,000 in 1927.
$26,000 in 1928.
$28,000 in 1929.
$29,000 in 1930.
$30,000 in 1931.
$32,000 in 1932.
$33,000 in 1934.
$36,000 in 1935.
$38,000 in 1936.
$39,000 in 1937.
The entire
issue of $500,000 was then delivered to the County Treasurer and the New
Refunding Bonds having been prepared, printed and ready for delivery, were
taken by the County Treasurer of Jefferson City and upon the registration of
the bonds by the State Auditor, the whole issue of $500,000 in the presence of
an officer of the Compton Investment Company, the State Auditor, the County
Treasurer and Clyde WILLIAMS as agent for the County Court were burned and the
new issue delivered to Compton & Co.
The bonds
retired amounted to 37,600 and the interest paid on them amounted to $843.29.
This leaves
a balance in the sinking fund of the $9,000 and collections by August are
expected to bring the amount up to a sum sufficient to pay the semi-annual
interest on the refunding bonds which will amount to $10,417.50.
The Court
made an order levying the tax necessary to meet the interest and principal on
the bonds as they respectively become due. It is certain that the tax rate next
year on account of the bond issue will not exceed 25c on the $100 valuation and
this levy will not be increased during the next five years but may be materially
lessened if our valuations increased as they should. We’ve got the bond money
and we expect the Court to try to get value received in its expenditure.
W. R.
DONNELL, Jr., Cashier of the Bank of Hillsboro refused to accept the check for
$463,000 and claims that under his contract he cannot be forced to do so.
Inasmuch as his contract calls for Four and five-eighths per cent on county
moneys the County could make a profit by allowing him to keep it. As Mr. DONNELL’s contract expires in two months, we assume that
the Court will not attempt to force him to accept it and pay the rate he bid
for the current county funds, but
will
obtain the best interest possible until a new depository is chosen.

~ What Our Contemporaries In The Twin Cities Have To Say About The DeSoto Court
~
Ray G. TOWNSEND in the
DeSoto Wants a Court House, So Do We.
There are about ten per cent of the cases that are settled by the court from
DeSoto and nearly seventy-five per cent from this end of the county. About
sixty-five per cent of the taxes come from this end of the county, but DeSoto
wants a court house and our percentage of taxes will pay the expense.
“Their” representative not “ours” has a bill in the Legislature to get the
court house at DeSoto regardless of the fact that they have rock roads to
county seat and can reach there in about twenty minutes by auto and regardless
of the fact that the business and money comes from this end. The prominent
lawyers and county officials are against spending the money of the people to
benefit a few, who have a vacant building to rent and who are trying to unload their
white elephant on the county.
The people, money and taxes coming from this end would entitle us to anything
in this line, but as we have no bill in the legislature for assistance we wish
to know on what grounds DeSoto, or the little peanut gang who control the
village, can have to ask the county to erect them a court house and then make
us pay the bill.
Henry F. KRATZER in the Tri-City Independent, Festus, says:
House Bill 582 introduced by the County Representative Dr. G. A. AUERSWALD
providing for a term of the Circuit Court to be held at De Soto annually is
receiving an unusual amount of discussion in Eastern Jefferson County. The
consensus of opinion may be summed up in a very few words. “Why” and
“Wherefore?” Why need there be a division of the court entailing
unnecessary delay, and in substance and fact create two separate courts
and entailing costs to be encountered by the citizens of the entire county, and
absolutely no benefits whatever accruing to the masses. We see no cause for
DeSoto and its accessibility to the county seat at all times and in all
conditions of weather to find cause for such a proposed change that in reality
would benefit only the favored few, whereas rightfully western, northern and eastern
Jefferson county heretofore the direct sufferers in the way of reaching the
county seat have yet to harbor a complaint in response to such as appeal as
indirectly sounds in House Bill 582. With good roads at this very hour on the
horizon of possibility and certain to usher in the unborn tomorrow affording
means for access and egress at all times we see no great unused? Why the tax
payers should be asked to share alike the burden incurred if such a proposed
step is carried into practice.
Mrs. H. L. MARBURY in the Festus News says:
One term of the Circuit Court at DeSoto means additional taxes; do you want to
pay more taxes and drive no benefits, Mr. Taxpayer? Is Dr. AUERSWALD
representing you Mr. Taxpayer, when he is asking for one term of court at
DeSoto thereby increasing your taxes?
We understand Dr. AUERSWALD claimed before the committee that one term of court
was an issue in the last campaign. If anyone ever heard of it, we would like to
know who he is. These papers are published east of the

Recommends Farm Agent for County ~
HOLEKAMP Tells of Advantages Obtained By Procuring the Services of a Farm
Advisor.
In the last issue of your paper I told you, my fellow farmers some of the
things the farm agent can do for us. I will tell you of a few more things he
can do and he is doing in other counties.
A good many of us have grown cowpeas. Cowpeas are a splendid feed and the
cultivation of this crop ought to be encouraged. Cowpeas are not hard on the land, to the contrary they help to build up the land. You are
probably aware that a large part of the seed is raised in the extreme
southeastern part of the sate. When we buy the seed in small quantities we have
to pay a large price for it. WE may just as well buy it by the carload and
divide up. This is what Farm Agents do in other counties.
It seems that soy beans are going to be one of the main feed crops of our
state. To grow soy beans the best as to be inoculated. the
farm agent will procure the inoculation for you, or will tell you how to get it.
He will tell you which variety is best suited for your purpose and for your
land. He will order the soy beans for you, or tell you where to get them.
In our county there are many fields where alfalfa would do well, provided
the land was properly prepared for it. The Farm Agent will tell us that the
land needs to make alfalfa a success. The land will probably need lime, manure
or some other fertilizer. The farm Agent will tell us what kind of fertilizer
is required. We do not need guessing at what fertilizer we ought to use, and possibly
waste a lot of money buying the wrong fertilizer or a fertilizer which has been
recommended to us but is not worst so much money as is asked of it. The Farm
Agent will know whether we will get our money worth or not. The land will have
to be inoculated and the Farm Agent will show you how to do it.
There is the orchardist. He wants to plant an apple
orchard. Part of the land is a rich hill side, facing the north; part is a
hillside facing the west, not very good soil somewhat rocky. The same variety
of apples will not do well on both locations Certain
varieties if planted on the rich soil will grow very rank and not produce much
fruit. This variety should probably be planted on the poorer soil, while some
other variety which has not much rank growth should be planted on the richer soil.
The farm agent will be able to tell you which varieties will best suit your
land and your purpose.
There is some other work being done now on sloping land of the state. This is
terracing. There may be a good deal of land in
If farms are washed farms are filling up the gullies. You all probably may
think you know how to fill them up yourself; there are, however, ways which may
be better than the way you would do the work and the Farm Agent is prepared to
show us the best way and tell us which grasses to sow to hold the soil to best
advantage. If we knew the best way they would not need to lecture to the
farmers about this important work, Farmers Week, which they do.
Some of you may say: We get all this information in our farm paper. It is true,
the farm paper and other papers give us lots of good advice but it does not
make the impression on us which the correct advice given by the Farm Agent will
make, especially where we can ask questions when everything is not just clear
to us.
In another article I will mention what the Farm Agent is doing in other
counties and, what he can do for us in a different way.

~NOTICE~
To Executors, Administrators, Guardians and Curators:
You are
hereby notified that your Settlements as they appear on the February term
docket, and for any and other terms hereafter, will be called for such
settlement on the date set, in the Probate Court Docket, which will be
published for four weeks before the first day of the term following. And if you
fail to appear on or before such date, your settlement will be continued for
ten days, and unless good cause is shown, the Court will have to issue
Citation, which means expenses to you as such, Executor, Administrator,
Guardian and Curator, which will be in accordance to law, as per Sections 225
and 48 of the revised Statute 1909.
Now here is the point. Every settlement must be put on the docket, and
every docket must be published for our weeks and the court sends on notices to
every such Executor, Administrator, Guardian and Curator stating the date set
on the docket for such settlement, which must all be paid for by the Estate.
And if such settlement is not made at the Term Docketed, it must be continued,
and be placed on the Docket for the next term of court, which means still more expense
for the estate. Now there have been from 15 to 30 settlements continued almost every
term of court, and dragged along from one term to the other, which is absolutely
uncalled for and unjust to the estates, and is entirely contrary to the
statutes.
Yours Respectfully,
