Columbia, Mo., Oct. 21.—The $100 scholarship offered by the state board of agriculture in a boys’ dairy contest has been awarded to Ernest Russell, of Pevely, Mo. The prize was for the young man who obtained the best results in milk production from three or more cows. A daily account of the food used and the amount of milk produced was kept by each contest- ant in a thirty-day test. The winner will use his scholarship in the Missou- ri School of Agriculture. M. L. Ford, of Plattsburg, has just offered a scholarship for the short course in agriculture here. He is the first farmer in the state to offer one. It will be awarded to the boy who ex- hibits the best corn at the Clinton county fair.

Fer- rell and C. H. Burgess, the first four constituting the board of directors. L. A. Ferrell has been elected presi- dent and Mrs. Mamie P. Ferrell, cashier. Mr. Ferrell comes to Adrian highly recommended and he has had consid- erable banking experience, having been with the First National Bank of Lahoma, Okla., for the past nine years, during which time he served both as president and cashier of that institution.

October 18, 1911. The subject of his talk was ‘Social Duty,’’ and for two hours his elo- quence, and logic held and swayed his audience. Senator Gore, although he has the misfortune to be blind is one of the strongest characters in the public eye today, and in spite of his affliction he has attained for himself a position reached by few men. Those in charge of the Lecture Course did well to include-his lecture in their list of entertainments, and from a list of the future numbers, one may well prophesy that the lecture course will be more popular this year than ever before.
