BUTLER, MISSOURI. | Mr. Roach is Right The American spirit requires that every shade of opinion shall have a chance to express itself on election day and that there shall be no limita- tions except suce as are necessary to ,the maintenance of a workable sys- tem. Election laws are not made to prevent people from voting, but to give them a chance to vote. Every doubt as to the interpretation as to of an election law should be resolved in favor of this principle. The watch- word is liberty, not restriction. This is the spirit of the ruling made by Cornelius Roach, Secretary of State, that the ticket nominated by the Progressive party shall go on the | ballot. ; It is probably that the Supreme Court will be asked to review the ac- tion of the secretary and that grounds | will be urged for a narrower con- | struction of the law, but courts also regard the spirit of American institu- ‘tions. Their-honors will scarcely hold that the Legislature wishes to restrict the right to vote when any |other intention can be found in the statute. —Republic. Has it ever occurred to the union man that the farmer (as a class) has been his strongest sympathiser in ev- ery struggle for better hours and bet- ter wage conditions? Does the union labor man feel that it is right to vote to make the farmer a serf and a} slave?—Single Tax in full force will! finally mean confiscation and serf-| dom.

It You know how advantage. Farm- We know how The best chairs FARM Farmer and Stockman. We farmers have much to be thank- ful for. Good rains continue coming at just about the right time to keep our corn growing. I think half the farmers’ troubles are imaginary. The remedy for these imaginary troubles is hope and work. Hope makes la- bor easy, and work will give us hope. Brooding over our troubles will pay no debts, and does no good. Work will make a creditor wait. It is wise for us to continue plowing and sow- ing. Why need a farmer fear? His products will never go out of fashion. Bread, milk, butter, beef, mutton, pork, poultry, eggs, fruit, and pota- toes are wanted every day of the three hundred and sixty-five days in the year. Work and hope, for the end is not yet. ; ~ T like to see corn shockssetin rows, instead of hit or miss. It may not make the fodder any better, but if one wishes to manure the field with a spreader itis easier done. Besides, the element of “looks” counts for something. As a usual thing corn cuts easier to cut it low than it does to cut it high. I find that a stub not over four inches tall also plows under better than one that is taller. September is a good month to clean up all the trash growth. Mow and burn now and there’ll be no more of it this year. - For a year or two everything pos- sible had the word ‘‘auto”’ hitched on before or after it. out the word ‘“‘aviation’”’ was substi- tuted, Wenow have aviation beef and pork, all right. “Soon beschool time.’’ Whena boy I used to hate to hear that. It seemed that school always had a way of com- mencing just when something inter- esting to a boy was going to take place in the work at home, such as thrashing, the erection of some new building, etc. The best tool for a digger I ever have found is a tiling spade with a 16 to 18-inch blade. One can take a spade of this style‘and fairly pare out soil that is almost immovable with a regular style spade. There is a knack, too, in using even a spade to advant- age. Let us hope that it will not be a killer, After wearing this j and that our corn will be well matured before it comes. I have had all the experience with soft corn I wish to have, yet will probably have more be- fore quitting the business. The silo furnishes a ready solution of the soft corn problem that folks did not have years ago., The silo is one thing that puts one over on Jack Frost. Manure spreaders are too costly to let tiiem stand out in the sun, wind and rain, even from one spreading to another. If “‘Bossie’’ switches at the flies and swats you in the face, who is to blame? A There isa right time to put corn intoa silo, the same as there is a rieht time to put it in the shock. To put it in too green or too ripe sub- tracts from the feeding value of the silage. The willow is perhaps the easiest tree to grow of any of the kinds that are commonly planted and is not bad as a windbreak nor as fuel, but before planting them it is a good plan to do some thinking. If they will be in the way ten years from now it will take some hard work to Kill them. ~ Modern Methods We believe in modern methods of doing business and find that our customers appreciate the promptness, accuracy and constant willingness to be of service that characterizes this institution.

Odds and Ends. ———— aoe eee ee As soon as the weather will permit - be ee of long cooking, peas and beans are ’ * excellent substitutes for meat. Beans Our;Service Means Profit to You do not agree with all digestions, but an ordinarily good digestion has but little trouble with them, if properly cooked. F Ina cream-of-pea soup you have practically all the food values—the protieds, fats of milk and butter, the vegetable juices and starches of bread or crackers eaten with it. Tartaric acid removes almost any iron rust blemishes, and is an excel- lent article for removing yellow marks. This is recommended for cleaning wall paper, but the work must be quickly and carefully done. Dip a new whitewash brush in hot vinegar and brush quickly over all the sur- face, doing the work thoroughly, but doing it quick enough not to ‘‘soak’’ the paper. The vinegar will have to be changed, as it gets very dirty. When dry, the paper should be clean and fresh. | DUVALL-PERCIVAL TRUST CO. i CAPITAL and SURPLUS, $100,000 FARMERS BANK BUILDING, BUTLER, MO. | We have money to loan on real estate at a low rate Farm Loans of interest with privilege to pay at any time. 5 Abstracts We have a complete set of Abstract Books and will fur- nish abstracts to any real estate in Bates county and examine and perfect titles to same.

It usually overdoes its reseeding or does it unevenly, and a sod of some- thing else forms. Sod bound clover seldom pays expenses. The reason why much of the cement work that proves defective is at- fault is because the foundation for it is not sufficient. A cement walk, for in- stance, must have a good foundation, one that is-not only solid but that provides plenty of drainage. I find that the foundation of first layer put down in the building of a cement floor or walk is best made of rock about the size of doornobs. Pound this down well, then start the cement work on it, and there’ll be little trou- ble with cracking if seams are allowed sufficient for expansion and the work is correct otherwise. Why not have some musical enjoy- ment for the farm boys and girls, the same as for their city cousins? Iam convinced that it doesn’t pay to take off the last bit that a meadow produces in aftermath growth. Some cut a meadow close, then have stock ready to eat the growth that late fall rains make. This is making grass do double duty and ‘its continuance for long soon tells. It has been years since I have raised such a pumpkin crop that it was pos- sible to haul them in from the field by the wagon load. Years ago I handled them in this way, and it wasaregular chore to ‘‘bust’’ them for the cows and hogs. I do not know that their daily feed of pumpkins did the milk cows much good, but they do make pigs grow. Since so much corn is cut with corn binders raising pumpkins in the cornfields has rather gone out of fashion. It is said that there will be a twine shortage before all the corn binders finish their work. I am prepared for it having bought all my crop will need the last time I was in town. Perhaps this will cause others to secure their supply when it can be had. The railroad companies are facing acarshortage. We have been having rather short crops for three or four years, and the railroads have no great surplus of new freight cars on hand. A yellow cake-frosting is made by beating the yolks very light and thicken with fine sugar, as you would the whites. It takes a little longer to harden than if the whites were used. When you get a piece of beef that seems too tough to make a good roast, run it through the sausage mill, season with pepper, salt and onion, make into a pone, put in the oven and bake thoroughly. When cold, cut in slices and serve. Nice for luncheon or supper. Cheap pieces of meat may be served in this way; should be cooked slowly after the outside is seared, and basted often.

In a recent. interview W. L. Nelson, assistant secretary of the Missouri State Board of Agriculture, calls at- tention to the fact that Missouri cattle have repeatedly topped the Kansas City, St. Louis and Chicago markets during this remarkable era of record breaking prices. So rapidly have Missouri steers smashed the records that it is hard to keep up with them. On August 5 and 6, steers from this state topped the Kansas City, St. Louis and Chicago markets and broke existing price records of at least two of these places. At. St. Louis thirty- three head of 1519-pound steers sold at $10.10 per hundred weight. The same day a load of 1457-pound steers from another Missouri county sold at $10 per hundredweight on the Kan- sas City market. At the same time another load of cattle shipped from Illinois but bred in Missouri, made the Chicago top of $10.10. On September 12, three loads of beeves from Moniteau county, Mo., established a new price record on the St. Louis market by selling at $10.70 per hundredweight. The same feeder had previously sold a load of 1822-pound steers at 10 cents per pound, or $182.20 per head, be- lieved to be the he highest price per head ever realized on a market.
