Missouri News in Brief Mrs. Alma Cowhurst died at Mary- ville, Mo., Sept. 11. She was 100 years old on December 10. She was married seventy-five years ago. She was born in England and came to, Maryville in 1882. Springfield plans a ‘‘round-up”’ of all civic, religious, educational and commercial interests in Greene coun- ty, to promote a closer and friendlier relationship. Many other Missouri counties should go and do likewise. Co-operation is the slogan-word of the day. _ Walter L. Jones, a Warrensburg horse buyer, purchased four carloads of cavalry horses. for the German Army in Johnson County Sept. 12. . They were shipped to Memphis, Tenn., at night. After inspection there by German officers, they will be shipped to New York and from there to the German front. The prosecution asked for the con- tiauance.- Prosecuting Attorney Floyd Jacobs told the court this coun- ty did not have funds with which to proceed with the trial now. A move is on foot by the prosecutor to ask the state legislature to take action which will place the county in a position to provide funds for the prosecution. “Buy-a-Missouri-Bale”’ is the slo- gan urged by the Kennett Commer- cial Club of Kennett, Dunklin County, Missouri, in a circular letter address- ed to the citizens of this State. The letter declares there is a crop-of 65,- 000 bales of cotton growing in Dunk- lin, Pemiscot, New-Madrid, Stoddard, Butler and Ripley counties, South- eastern Missouri. Of this, Dunklin per cent.. ‘‘No one county in Mis- souri is able to hold 35,000 bales of cotton under the present disturbed conditions,’ says the letter, ‘and While in a crowded skating rink at | Poplar Bluff, Mrs. Jeanne Kutchbach | shot Clyde La Rose, a former police- | man, four times, then placed her re- | volver against her left temple and | killed herself. La Rose is not expect- | ed to live. It is said she followed La | Rose around all evening, and when | she saw him skating with another | this is a conservative estimate of the 1914 crop in Dunklin County, not- withstanding the drouth.”’ Two hundred horses are being shipped from Kansas City daily, des- tined for the English army. Beside Sir Charles Gunning and Colonel Drage, who are in Kansas City buying State: banks and trust companies having a capital stock of not less than $25,000 and asurplus of 20 per centum are permitted to issue emergency currency without paying the 10 per cent tax provided in the law of 1875 by an amendment to the Aldrich- Vreeland act passed by the Senate Friday afternoon. The vote was 32 to 19. \ Senator Smith of Georgia pro- of Missouri, as-acting chairman of the Committee on Banking and Currency, led the opposition.

Mr. Vandiver complained that men charged with the responsibility f counting of thousands of dollars daily, are paid a ridiculously low wage. He cited the case of a man in the coinroom who counts millions and gets only $75 a month, and of anoth- er who has worked for ten years for $100 2 month. He asked $200 a year raise for the receiving teller, coin teller and sorting teller; $120 a year increase for three others and $100 for four others. He also asked for an additional vault clerk. Rosh Hashono, the Jewish New Year, will begin at 6 o'clock next Sunday evening, when the year A. M. 6675 will be ushered in with solemn ceremonies: The Jewish calendar isa lunar one, and the ec- clesiastical day always ‘begins at 6 p. m. This month, Tishri, is’ the seventh in the Jewish calendar, and like the other Hebrew months, is supposed to have had its origin in Babylon. However, the seventh month is regarded as in reality the commencement of the year, and so it will be observed. With the beginning of Rosh Hashono, comes an extended period of Jewish holidays including the greatest of all of them, Yom Kipper (Day of Atonement), which falls this.year on September 30. FARM FURROWS. Farmer and Stockman. Some folks always yield to the lure of the lurid. : If you lean on your friends too hard they always get from under. The things left unsaid are the very things a good many folks are most curious to know. There is no room in the world any more for the tyrant, even for the tyrant in his own house. Some folks think they are not get- ting along with you at all unless they have a sense of leading you around by the nose. Having a deep interest in the wel- fare of the farm isthe way to make it pay the biggest interest upon your investment in it. It is to be hoped that every old grouch will become so deeply inter- ested in the war across the water that he will forget to scrap at home. Some men hate so much to part; with a dollar that they are in dire misery all the time. It is a bad thing to have money stick to you so tight from Constantinople says that bubonic | Social science, is a graduate of Har- plague is causing severe ravages vard University, with the degrees of among the Turkish troops at Smyrna A.

At least $15,000,000 will be cut. off the $53,000,000 appropriations in the river and harbor bill because of the curtailmentof revenue receipts caused Official reports received from Rome say the health of Emperor Francis Joseph is good, considering his ad- vanced age and worry over the work necessitated by the war. Every day it hurts. Reading is said to make a full mind, but one is persuaded that much read- ing of books of the best seller. quality of fiction will surely make a fool mind. No mah ave anything worth gar- nering where he has not sown, and much of the harvest he has sown, he would rather not reap, if-he could get, out of it. by the European war. The lower house of the Texas State Legislature adopted a resolution ask- ing Gov. Colquitt to exempt from tax- ation all cotton bought under’ the “‘buy-a-bale”’ movement at 10 cents a pound. Reports indicate about 3,000 bales already have been purchased in Texas. : Republican Leader Mann joined the he grants several audiences, receives detailed reports of the situation and gives general directions. California is back at the head of the procession of States in the matter of the number of motor vehicles per capita of population. Recent figures from the office of the Highway Com- missioner show that the far Western “buy-a-bale-of-cotton’’ movement. At the instance of Representative Lever of South Carolina, Mr. Mann bought a bale for $50, which will be held for him at Columbia, S. C., until the European emergency passes. The House adopted the conference report on the trade commission bill. It already has been approved by the Senate and goes to President Wilson for signature. The President will not nominate the Commissioners until December. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson’s dying wish that congress abolish the alley slums in the national capital has been -ful- filled. The house passed the senate houses in Washington alleys State has 106,772 motor vehicles in use. This means that there is one car for every twenty-three persons in the State. ; - Senator Reed of Missouri success- fully led the opposition against an ef- fort to reduce from 3 to 1 per cent the rate of interest charged banks for emergency currency for the first three | air months. The amendment was of- fered by Senator Overman of North Carolina.. Senator Smoot of Utah proposed fixing the rate at 2 per cent. The Federal Reserve Board objected to any reduction, and as acting chair- man of the Committee on Banking and Currency, in the absence of Sen- Reed upheld the Treasury officials. The price of sugar usually takes a jump when the fruit-canning season is here, but this season it was more than a jump. It was a balloon ascen- sion and here is hoping that the gas bag will be punctured. A lot of folks will never know how much patience it takes to endure them. That they get through the world with- out their meed of well merited bumps is simply because a great many of us have learned how to exercise a good deal of self-control. -The second crop of clover is blos- son caagind ap inthe tig cities wou are up in the big cit wol find it worth while to go out and see something worth | ig at.

The easiest thing to do-in all the world is to find an excuse to kick, and that is probably the reason so many folks are engaged in that sort of a thing. : / It is possible.to learn a few things in looking over a neighbor’s field even if it is poorer than our own, but the right place to go for information is to the owner of the best fields that can found. : } Don’t forget that very good machine oil can Ge Geaght for 40 cents per gallon and that the blacksmith us- ually charges about 50 cents per hour for making repairs. ‘You pays your money and takes your choice.’’ Character-is the register of life’s total. It contains little mark of the resultants of our endeavors, either of failures or of successes. It is the rec- ord of efforts, and thus efforts and not results count in the end in its make-up. A few Sundays ago a sporty sort of farmer came to town in the after- noon, filled up with bootleg beer, and along toward evening he got into his new Ford car and undertook to break the speed limit on his way home to do the chores. *He menaced both sides of the road for about a mile of the way and then his machine somer- saulted intoa ditch. It didn’t kill him or do him much damage, and he swears that his steering gear was out of order. I guess it was, but not just in the way he means. «< Laughing at another’s expense is a graft, and usually a very mean one. Begin training the bull calf while you are stronger than he is and try to teach him to respect your strength. As soon as he discovers that he is the stronger of the two it is time to sell him. Never fool with a bull nor a stick of dynamite. : Mail order houses are sending their catalogs by parcel post this fall which was tne thing that made the country merchant help fight on the side that was against passing the law. We don’t just know why they did this, but we can make a pretty good guess. I don’t know of any pleasant sound that can compare with the sound of raindrops pattering on the roof after a drouthy spell, but the sound of the windmill pumping water after three or four still days is not at all unpleas- ant to those who have no pumping engine. Three men can find all the hard work they can do in the silo when it is being filled and the one who owns the silo will do well to see that he has three workers to do the tramping. The ordinary run of tramps are not of much account when it comes to tramping silage. This year it paid well to sow some clover seed with the small grain for fall pasture. I have in mind a neigh- bor who sowed four pounds of clover seed to the acre with small grain for fall pasture and the result was a stand of clover that is making him do some hard thinking to decide where to start to plow. Don’t take your disappointments very hard. Keepe@ cheerful face as they come along. They are so very common along life’s pathway that if we do not learn to laugh in their presence, we will have precious little opportunity for laughter. It is good o ope for such, but not to grieve over broken hopes. When one flow- er fades itis to ripen seeds for a thousand more another season. Hope rises eternal in the human breast, that is, beloved, if that breast is not converted into a fountain of tears be- because of the hopes which are blighted. f Corn cutting and silo filling will soon be here, and as the time for doing the work is short it is well to make preparations in advance as far as possible. Tostop for repairs when the work is on is what makes some fellows get caught by Jack Frost. There are still quite a few fields dotted with shocks waiting for the threshing machine to finish its swing around the circle. ~The loss the own- ers of these late-threshed fields must stand, would, in many cases, pay for stacking all the grain in the “ring.’” Real Estate Transfers F H Crowell to Fuhrman & Tin= gle pt blk 10 Montgomerys 2d LC Jackson to F H Sueuck 40 a sec 15 Prairie AN Wright to J W Crouch tract 23 Mt Pleasant GL Sayles to N J Grov. gee 16 West Boone Lillius Emerson to Dennis Mc- Carty tract sec 22-Mt Pleasant S M Davis to Arthur Lynch lots - 10, 11, 12 blk 182 2d ad Rich Apples, Apples, Big Red Apples, Lam still ay ways | the old re- Bros.
