PRICE, $1.00 PER YEAR MICE AND MEN. “In view of the temperate and wise utterance of the State’s of- ficers it was inevitable that nego- tiations should result in the re- turn from exile beyond its bord- ers of a great and beneficent business whose protection is so largely the basis of commercial prveparity and which often stands etween the holder of its indem- nity and dire distress.” The above is an extract froma state- | ment appearing in Wednesday’s St. Louis Republic, signed by twelve of the largest insurance agencies in St. Louis, announcing their return to the state. One cannot help but compare its dignified, temperate and even| complimentary wording with the vulgar ravings and the unseemly abuse which have characterized the efforts ofcertain two-by-four calibres to force the Governor to call an entirely un- necessary session of the legislature to adjust the insurance situation. Truly there is a vast difference be- tween mice and men. Gov. Hadley says “I am only a common lawyer now.’’ He was mever anything else, excepting for a period of four years, when he was a very common governor.—Boonville Advertiser.

SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS Don’t Miss the Big Bates County Fair, August 19 to 22, In addition to the positive assur- ance that we right here give you, that the live stock and general exhibits | ‘will be as good as present conditions | will permit, we are particularly anx- jious to impress on your mind that the special features and the free attrac- tions that have been secured at a big cost for your entertainment and edi- merit. The races are filled and declared a go, and they have for your pleasure and delight the greatest number of horses, and we will say the highest class bunch that has ever visited this section of the state. The big free attraction will be Mr. | Longren and his wonderful daily flights in his new 1913 biplane. This! is positively the biggest and best at- traction of its kind that can be ‘gotten and we want you to see it. The poultry show is offering you something out of the ordinary this year. _The show will be held in a large roomy tent, and they have se- cured the extensive exhibit arranged for the State Fair by the Poultry Ex- periment Station of Mountain Grove —this is a state institution—it will be here during the fair. Then on top of these specials they have contracted with the Modlin Poul- try Farm, of Dallas, Texas, for their fine exhibit of over 300° birds, con- | him is altogether too risky a thing aisting of birds from all parts of the|t? do unless you are looking for a world. This is all to be under one|*ick horse. Spraying the legs and the air cannot circulate freely under- neath it, anless it is a sponge kept cool and wet.

He would tell of the luxury of a fly net when at work and of a fly blank- et when standing still in fly season, and of the boon to him of screens in the stable to keep out the insects that bite and sting. He would plead for as cool and comfortable a stable as possible in which to rest at. night after a day’s work under the hot sun. He would ‘suggest that living through a warm night in a- narrow stall neither properly cleaned nor bedded is suffering for-him and poor economy for the owner.

Bates county is being thoroughly organized for the observance of Gov- ernor Major’s Good Road Days, Sep- tember 10th and 11th. The dates were changed on account of ‘the an- nual Bates County Fair, which will be held this year August 19th to 22nd. A committee composed of Judge R. B. Campbell, of Pleasant Gap; Highway Engineer Joseph Flam- mang; W. W. Ferguson, of Rich Hill; Col. C. E. Robbins, of this city and J. E. Dowell, of Adrian, was ap- pointed by the County Court to su- pervise the organization of the coun- ty for two days of road work.’ This committee met’ Friday night with members of the Butler Commercial Club and effected an organization by electing the following officers: Pres- ident, R. B. Campbell; Secretary, A. H. Culver; Treasurer, W. W. Fergu- son. Secretary Culver was instruct- ed to communicate at once with the township boards of the respective townships with regard to uniform or- ganization throughout the county, to the end that the two days’ work may be carried on systematically. The committee will suggest that the over- seers of each road district appoint captains to have charge of each squad of workers and to see that tools and implements are equitably distributed. The ladies will probably be request- ed to see that the workers are well August 17, “Soul.”
