As a result of this levy a sum of about $9,000 will accrue to the credit of she road fand that will be avatlable for use next year; and with this amount of money, {t is easy to understand that results of a most gratifylug character can be accomplished It will mean that an era of road im provement has been begun that will keep our county abreast of thet.mes; and {t will be something, too, that will be complimentary to the intelli- gence and enterprise of our people.— ElDorado Sun.

B. JETER WEST SIDE JEWELER \SHOOK HIS FIST AT OSLER. GET AUSTRIAN OR “Thanks,” Smiles Taft, For $56,000 Contribution, and That Is All. Washington, May 15.—R. C. Ker CHILDREN RAISE POULTRY. Simple, Cheap and Convenient Fix- tures and Coops Will Enable Them to Increase Flock. and willing children the number of fowls kept could be very profitably in- creased, if a sufficient number of sim- ple, cheap, and convenient coops and fixtures were provided to enable the children to employ their time and labor to advantage, says a writer in Rural New Yorker. Our family, through parts of two generations, has kept nothing but Barred Plymouth Rock fowls, and though the flock Is now 82 years old, we have never been so situated as to make it desirable to keep large numbers. Last season we determined to begin the development of the flock to the limit of profit on a farm of 95 acres, of which one-half is woodland, and on which the available force consists of four girls from six to 12 years of age, a boy of five, and a baby girl of three.. The writer gives some morning and evening assistance, We had on March 1 a stock on hand of about 40 hens. We kept our hens matic or conspicuous post under or in the Taft administration. For the $56,000 he spent in the Republican campaign lset fall, the old-line Mis- sour!

In the beginning Tats, anxious to recognize the people who tangibly contributed toward his election, was {nclined to appoint the Missourian. The figures to Keren’s credit in the campaign account looked big. Chair man Frank Hitchcock, of the Na- tional Committee, voiced the philos- ophy that, having produced, Kerens was entitled to a nice large one off the plum tree. ‘Colonel’ Kerens’ religious connections helped him out and filed a long and strong list of indorsements at the White House. The matter was carried eo far that inquiry as to Mr. Kerens’ acceptabil- {ty was made of the Austrian Gov- ernment, and a favorable response received. Because of hle former and none 600 pleasant relations with the Kerens crowd in Missouri, Secretary Nagel maintained a neutral attitude throughout. Mr. Taft was unable to get a word for or againes Kerens out of Nagel, which, probably, did not help Kerens much. However, there were others out in Miesour! not bound by circumstance to the neutral position. The Kerens record, from the “‘Star Route” days on was unfolded, with all the mali clous and interesting details, to the Chief Executive. That blunt person, Colonel W. R Nelson, of Kansas City, registered some very emphatic sentiments with Mr. Taft. The uplift crowd in general hammered Kerens. A White House inquiry into the motives of the Kerens financial gen- eroelty was made. The conclusion was, Mr. Kerens had epent a vastlot of money, the major portion of the 356,000, to ges the vote out—for Kerens. Consequently the Taft mace now falls upon the gray hairs of the St. Loute would-be diplomat. The opinion of the Missourians here {s that the outcome will embar- rass Warner. Presumably Kerens will not be pleased at being kick- ed off the White House map so unceremoniously. It fs inferred, too, Kerens has plenty of money, some friends and a disposition to make trouble. Anyhow, Kerens would rather go to the Senate than to Austria. Judge Peers is Stricken, Warrenton, Mo., May.—J udge Charles Peers, one of the most wide- ly-known Democrats in Central Mis- souri, has suffered a stroke of paral- yale and fs in a critical condition.

Washington, May.—That tubercu- losis is no longer a problem of the doctors, that 1t probably will take two or three generations to reduce {te ravages to the rate at which typhoid fever has been regulated aud thas the public u.ust be awakened to @ greater sense of {ts responelbility, in combatting the disease, was the substance of an address by Dr. Wil- liam Osler, the noted physician of Baltimore, Md., and Oxford, En- gland, before a public meeting of the National Association of the Study and Prevention of Tuberculoete. Other distinguished men who spoke were James Bryce, British ambas- sador, and Speaker Cannon, both of of whom urged the keeping of chil- dren {n the open alr as much as pos- sible. WHAT REMAINS TO BE DONE. A “Tri-setti ng Nest, laying and bought setters from the neighbors, purchasing all told between 40 and 50 broody hens. Our first hatch was on April 18, and the last on Sep- tember 9. During this long season we set a total of 1,670 eggs, and took from the nests a total of 1,110 chicks which |} actually went into the coops with the hens. The losses of eggs due to in- fertility, breakage, desertion of nests, spoiling, and inability of chicks to throw off the shell, are all included in the difference of 560 between eggs set and chicks in the coops. Of these chicks we could account on November 1 for about 70 per cent. of all which were taken from the nests. These have reached the age of usefulness, or are still with the hens and thriving. The secret lies chiefly in the coops and fixtures provided, and especially in the arrangements for sitting hens. A HOUSE BUILT FOR BEES.

The first 1s to keep the public awake; the second to ob tain more money and the third to arouse the interest of more men and women, because the campaign fe no longer one entirely for the doctors. “Whether tuberculosis will be final: ly eradicated,” he declared, “is even aD open question, but when we think of what has been done {n one genera- tion, how the mortality in many places has been redaced more than 50 per cent, indeed, in some places, 100 per vent, 16 1a @ battle of hope, witb victory In sight.” Speaker Cannon aroused laughter when he sald: “Dr. Osler, { have reached the age of 70 and I shake my fist {n your face.” DR OSLER ENJOYED IT. Dr. Osler laughed heartily at this defi of his old age theory. The Speaker harkened back to the days of his childhood when bathtubs were almost unheard of and when the snow would efft in and cover those lying in bed. ‘We had plenty of fresh air then on the Wabash and everywhere on the frontier before the railroads,” he said.
