Hughes was put forward in 1908 by Wal)! street to represent the Republican | party’s position on the trust question, | and that Gov. Hughes, in a speech at! Youngstown, O., construed the Re-| publican promise to amend the anti- trust law as follows: “In our progress we must avoid false steps. Ours must be the rule of reason,’’ etc. Congress refused to legalize ‘‘rea-| sonable’’ or any other king of trusts, | so Gov. Hughes was put on the Su- preme bench, and helped twist the law to make it conform to the trust idea of what the Republican promise meant. Add to Mr. Perkins’ significant re- mark, the further fact that Hughes bitterly opposed an income tax, and his qualifications as a Taft choice for the supreme bench become readily apparent. i Revivals in the Butler Churches, “conducted by the pastors and ‘church.

Much of the wealth of present-day farmers has come to them without work, by the increase in the value of their land. The actual farm operations have, in many cases, only paid ex- penses. Few farmers have made an actual business success of farming. It is possible to make farming pay. On high priced land it is difficult When interest charges are figured as they would be in any other business the profits look quite small. But farm- ing as a business is a success when Properly carried on. To make farming pay it is neces- sary that the stock on the farm be of the highest efficiency. obtainable. It is not economy to feed two pounds of corn to an animal when another type would do- the same work with the pound. The soil must be so han- died that the crop yields are large, for this is a fundamental part of -,farming. This means that the crops must be rotated and the manure must be hauled out, and sometimes the fer- The prod- tilizer must be applied. ucts that are sold from the farm must be the. kind that “top the market.” For farm boys or men wno want to learn more of the practical things that make better farming the short courses have been planned at the Uni- versity of Missouri, under the chasge of A. J. Meyer. Men taking these courses have the opportunity to study th experimental work with crops and animals that is carried on at the col- lege. Stock judging, veterinary medi- cine, crop methods and many other Practical courses are given. Household conveniences on the farm usually do not bring in a direct profit that can be counted in dollars. How- ever, they bring in big profits in add- ed enjoyment of life. They bring more rested housewives and mothers. They give more opportunity for the farm housekeeper to read and be up to date. And they add years to the life of those for whose benefit they are in- stalled. No amount of hard: work will make a farmer successful unless he uses brains along with it. There will al- ways be hard work about farming, but the same amount of work will Notice. I will open the township collector’s office in the northeast room of the cour? house on Nov. Ist.

FARMING AS A BUSINESS | wiTHERSPOON ACQUITTED. | Verdict of Not Guilty Rendered By Jury in Fourth Trial of Case of Long Standing. | The case of the State vs John With- erspoon, charged with forgery, which has for years been pending in the courts, was concluded Friday after- noon when after only about an hour’s deliberation the jury rendered a ver- dict of ‘‘Not Guilty.” Witherspoon was charged with the forgery of a deed of trust in 1898, and since that time the case has been tried four times. The firm of Silvers & Silvers assist- ed Mr. Dawson for the State and De- Witt C. Chastain assisted by Carl J. Henry conducted the defense. The verdict was reached at 1:15 p. m. Friday. Missouri’s Hunting Season Open. Jefferson City, Mo., Oct. 31.—To- morrow the hunting season will open in this state. The number of licensed hunters now is not definitely known, but it is thought there are about 70,- 000. In the past the number has reached as high as 80,000. Reports received by the State Game and Fish Commissioner indicate a much greater supply of game, except deer, duck and geese, this season than has been the case in a number of years. Wild turkeys are abundant and the same is said to be true of quail and all small game. Hunters should bear in mind that they are not permitted to kill the English phesants which are to be found in considera- ble numbers, or the native prairie chicken. ‘ : Indicts Richeson on Five Counts.
