Are you aware of what it is? Fora number of years the State Corn Growers’ Association, in co- operation with the State Board of Agriculture and the College of Agri- culture, has conducted a corn grow- ing contest ‘among the young men and boys of the state. It began a few years ago witha few hundred and now it has reached into the thousands in its enrollment. There are two classes—one for the young men and one for the boys. The Young Men's Class includes those under twenty years of age and over sixteen, and the Boys’ Class in- | cludes those under sixteen and over | ten years of age. The boys’ names are to be regis- tered with Sam Jordan, at Columbia, | Missouri, who has direct charge of|is not a Farmers’ Club in the state| an attempt made to tak Those registering should give name, age, and postoffice address. There are no fees of any kind, and every wide awake young farmer should avail himself of this opportunity. Last season the University sent free seed to about two thousand boys and young men of the state and the re- sults were highly gratifying in nearly every case, Pure seed was thus scat- tered over many parts of the state and it has been demonstrated many times that pure-bred seed corn, everything else being equal, will pro- duge from five to ten bushels moré corn tothe acre than the common scrub seed. Last season many banks | and other business concerns took hold of this work and the number that are now reported as calling for literature on the contest, indicates that scores of banks will take hold of the work this season. It is presumed that there are very few, if any, newspapers in the state that will not willingly give all the space to this matter that will be called for by those who are boost- ing the work. Bigger crops spells more business for all concerned. Brothers, push the thing along. Write to Sam Jordan, Columbia, Mo., for particulars. Quart of Whisky Caused a Kill- ing.

For many years there has been a state law requiring a list of deaths to be filed with the county clerk, but the law was defective, as it prescrib- ed no penalty for the ignoring of its provisions. No one seemed to think it necessary or important to report deaths and this was notdone. The physicians of the state, among other important steps taken, took up this matter and were in a large measure responsible for a new law being en- acted by the legislature which re- quires that all physicians and under- takers report deaths to registrars which had been appointed by the State Board of Health, and this law will be strictly enforced and no doubt will be universally complied with in this state. The new law not only re- quires reports of all deaths, but all | births; and in cases of death, a brief biography of the deceased and the cause of the death are required. The law isa good one as the mat- sit deals with is very important. more so in the respect of diseases. Should an unusual number of deaths occur in any one vicinity, due to one disease, the State Board of Health and local physicians could make a united effort to stamp out the cause. The records kept under the new law would give such information to the local physicians and the state board. Robbers Blew a Safe at Carthage Carthage, Mo., Feb. 6.—Robbers entered the store of the Ramsay Mer- cantile Company early this morning blew open the safe and escaped with $350 in cash and séveral other articles of value. Almost $500 worth of fine rugs and cloaks were piied on the safe and saturated with water to muf- fle the sound of the explosion. This is the largest of the numerous rob- beries perpetrated in this city and vicinity in the past week, which is probably the work of a gang of rob- bers. 226 acres in Hudson township, Bates Co. Mo.
