tion must deal with the persons who have
pledged themselves for his responsibility.

rectly with tho employe in matters involv-
ing his integrity, while 1t reserves the moral
right to regulate his conduct as an operator

Lack of Rain.
0U UTL00K FOR APPLE ORCHARDS
Peaches Have Been Damaged and
Only the Hardest Variety

Great Benefit.

| REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
| Columbia, Mo-, Jan. 2L-George B. Ellis.
! secretary of the Missouri State Board of
| Agriculture. said to-day that from the in
| complete reports that have come from vari-
| Gus sections Of the State, no serious damase
| has been done the wheat crop. except in
! localities that have been In need Of rain.
Because Of the snow covering the ground
| at the last cold snap. wheat was not killed
The main damage will be to the central
| portion Of the State from dry weather
During the past year it suffered most from

the least. In his opinion, even in this sec
ton, the damage will not be as great as
many suppose.
In the northern and southern portions Of
the State no material damage has been

May He Good Yield of Apples.
OF the fruit crops. the indications are
that the apples will be the best. The pros
poets for this crop are good. Where the
drought was severest. and good crop OF
apples was raised last year, there is danger
that the full crop of buds will not mature.
In these sections the apple crop will prob
ably suffer.
The prospect for peach crop is very
poor Only the hardest varieties and In
the most favorable localities have withstood
Champions and Crosby. hardy varieties and
come Seeding that are on high land, have
tom 10 to IL per cent of the buds still alive.
Or, the State Farm practically all of the
buds are dead. The same Is true of trees
that are on the low lands. The small fruit
crop has been greatly damaged by the dry
weather. This has killed many of :he
vines The estimate for Strawberries, black
berries and raspberries is for only one-hale
a crop.
Mr. Ellis believes that the snow of yester-
DAY will be Of great benefit to the wheat
and grass in Central Missouri. This is the
section that has suffered most severely
from the continued drought.
WHEAT BELT IS SNOW-BLANKETED.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Topeka. Kas. Jan. H-The snow Of yes
terday was general all over the State ex-
cept in the southeastern counties. where
there was more or less rain and sleet IN
stead of snow. The storm moved from
southwest to northeast, and while the fall
extended to the Colorado line it was not so
heavy in that section as farther east. :,
At Garden City and Dodge City the fall
was only a half inch. while at Pratt it was
four inches. EllirYood three inches: Hays
City four inches and at Abilene two inches:
The fall covered the entire wheat belt CT
the State, and eastward beyond the Mis-
souri, River. and Is. therefore. where Il

ceased and the warm sun has begun to
slowly melt the snow.

ment It concerned the shortage Of ex-
Secretary Treasurer Pearce. and alleged
that President Mitchell and Secretary
Wilson did not give out all the facts con-
cerning Pearce's actions to the miners

that reason did not give out all the facts
and charged that Pearce frequently pre-
sented bills for double the amount Of pur-
chases:. She also said that Pearce's extra
Mitchell and Wilson reported that he had
taken only $3.50. Miss Meredith declared
that Mitchell allowed Pearce to go away as

demning Miss Meredith, but 1t was voted
