%"Johnson county farmers should reap q
wholesome lesson from this years ex.
perience. Shortage Of the corn crop
forced everyone of them to improve the
latter part Of the season by raising a
crop of roughness with which to win
ter stock. The point the Journal
Democrat wishes to make Is tins: Why
will not such a scheme work 10 good
years as well as in dry ones3 Had
there been a good corn crop farmers
would have fed it to their stock this
winter. Why not raise a crop OF

jackson Independence Examiner:
"The burden which casts man into the
slough of despond may seem too
heavy to be borne and the struggle not

meeting every demand we find others

realize that ours are mere bagatele. II

and when we help others with their
greater troubles our own seem to have

In advising the people to s.stay In
Missouri" Col. Stephens closed an
interesting letter from Colorado to his
paper by advising his readers TO ..stay
In Missouri" and says: ..Howeyer.
while Colorado is recommended for sun.
shine and scenery, for air aud health.
1t is not to be compared with Missouri,
as a home or field Of effort for those in
normal condition and who would
achieve success IN the ordinary pursuits
OF life. Colorado is a resort rather
