McFARLAND & SONS AUTOMOBILES Why our coming to town kicked up the Sunday question? Why soda fountains ran on Sunday all day, without question, before ye came to town? ' Why the same thing is now regarded as a heinous offense? Why, if the law is to be enforced, it is not enforced as provided in the statutes? Who gave city marshals the power to revise and remodel the laws of Missouri to suit their own peculiar \ ideas? Why are we allowed to run any store _ until 11 a. m. if same is illegal? Why does the law take a lay-off from 5 p. m. till 8 p. m. on Sunday? Why in the dickens don’t these so-call- ed law enforcers enforce the law legally?

Butler, Missouri We Want to Know Drought Warning Issued. Columbia, Mo., June 10.—This piece of advice was issued to-day to the farmers of Missouri from the office of the State Board of Agricul- ture: “Serious drought is threatened. All that can be done is to cultivate frequently and persistently. Shallow, level cultivation should be performed once.a week, if possible. This done, acrop will follow, with very little rain, but, cultivation neglected, in the event of little rain, certain crop fail- Wild Flower Gathering HAVE YOU EVER DONE IT?

The attend- ance was good and a very interesting and a profitable meeting was held. Many points of law were discussed and the really interesting sessions when each and every one was per- her opinions. The new attendance law is in many respects better than formerly. Each district clerk is required to furnish the teacher with an enumeration list of the pupils of the district at the be- ginning of school and the teacher is then required to report all between the ages of 8 and 16 years of age who are not in school and the clerk is to report these to the county superin- tendent with the evidence in the case and the superintendent is to make a report of this to the prosecuting at- torney who institutes proceedings against the parents or guardians. The last enumeration and estimate was received this morning and placed on file in the county clerk’s office. This, of course, should have been at- ended to sooner but they thought best not to, so we start anew with all good wishes for them. The next teachers’ examination will be held at the West School building in Butler, June 23-24, The order of subjects will be as follows and not given at any other time during the examination: { FIRST DAY.

The law entitles each one to use two examinations and I am very | sure it will be best to begin this in| June. Quite a few district clerk's records | have been inspected this week and most of them are in good condition. ; One especially good was that of C. E. Fri in Elkhart township. He has just | secured a new book and has brought | forward the more important facts | from the old record and placed them ; in ‘he new.
