ATTENTION FARMERS!
To The Farmers of Missouri and
Adjoining States.

The time approaches for the
second Annual Meeting of the
Farmers Institute and we take this
opportunity to remind the farmers,
farmers wives and daughters, and
the officers of the Convention Of
this coming event, and to ask them
to redouble their energies in striv-
ing to make a movement so aus
piciously begun, permanent trib-
ute to the business enterprise OF
the Great Middle West with her
fertile acres and manifold natural
resources. We urge the organi-
zers appointed last November to
see to it that Farmers Institutes
are organized in their respective
localities and that as large delega-
tions as possible come up from the
different districts to the second an.
nual Convention which will be
held Saturday, November 7, 1908.
We urge the farmers to save
some Of the best products of the
soil to bring along as specimens OF
what they are capable of produc-
ing; and further that if possible
they bring their wives and daugh-
ters, that the benefit of scientific
farming and advanced methods in
various lines of farm work, as in
poultry raising, dairying, bee cul-
ture, etc., may be open to and dis
cussed by all, and from all points
of view.
Very cordially submitted,
B. F. ALLEN, Pres.
j. s. YATES, Sec'y.

WHAT THERE'S TIME FOX.

Lots Of time for lots of things,
Though it's said that time has wings
There is always time to find
Ways of being sweet and kind;
There Is always time to share
Smiles and goodness everywhere;
Time to send the frowns away,
Time gentle word to say,
Time for helpfulness and time
To assist the weak to climb,
Time to give q little flower,
Time for friendship any hour,
But there Is no time to spare
For unkindness anywhere.

TASTED Twenty-Eight Days.

ARMSTRONG, Mo-, July 81
William Sorrel, who for ten years
has been an inmate of the Ran
dolph county infrmary, has passed
twenty weight days of long fast,
and during this time has eaten
nothing and lives principally on
water. Sorrel is mentally afflicted
and will allow no one to give him
food. Some few months ago Sor-
rel lived for twenty-six days with
out food and many times since
that time has refused food for a
period of ten days. He is a man
of compact build, but these volun-
tary fasts are reducing his flesh
and strength. Sorrel is now about
so years Of age.

The Making of Man.

Flame of the spirit and dust of the
earth
This is the making of man;
This is his problem of birth
Born to all holiness, born to all
crime,
Heir of both worlds, on the long
slope of Time
Climbing the path of Gods plan ;
Dust Of the earth in his error:and
fear,
Weakness and malice and lust,
Yet, quivering up from the dust.
Flame of the spirit, unleaping and
clear.
Yearning to God since from God
in its birth
This is mans portion, to shape as
he can;
Flame Of the spirit and dust Of the
earth
This is the making of man.

other minor points of usefulness, but
the foregoing will be sufficient to indi-
cate the general method of its opera
ton and the measure of its efficiency.
In effect it puts the engine driver or
every train into instantaneous touch
with other trains, switchmen and sta
ton and crossing keepers in his neigh
borhood and keeps ever before his eye
and ear an automatic and infallible
signal which springs into activity the
moment that his locomotive, whether
running forward or backward, comes

A MOUNTAIN LION HUNT.
Roosevelt Invited to Take Part in
the Great Drive.

Driven to desperation by the losses
Of stock as a result Of the depreda-
tons Of mountain lions, the ranchers
of northern Montana are organizing an
immense drive, says a special dispatch
from Butte to the New York World
which will be perhaps without paral-
lei in western history.
The recent blizzard and cold have
forced the animals from their noun
tain lairs into the valleys for food. 1t
is proposed to have about 800 men ell
gage in the chase, and from different
points they will proceed toward COM
mon center, which will be some noun
tain basin. Into this trap the lions
will be driven and then picked off by
marksmen.
President Roosevelt has been Invited

SEED FROM FAR LAPLAND.
Will Experiment With Crops on Our
Northern Borders.

An experiment of great interest to
the states having large tracts of land
heavily wooded is about to be made by
Secretary Wilson of the department of
agriculture at Washington. 1t will be
conducted in the northern parts of
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan,
where the lands have been denuded of
timber, either by cutting for purposes
of sale or by forest fires.
It's purpose is to ascertain the
adaptability of such lands to agricult-
ure, especially for crops peculiar to
northern climates. The first step to
be taken by Secretary Wilson in this
connection will be the assignment of
scientists to study the soils in the
northern sections of the three states
named. The results of the experiment
will be used, ii successful, as a basis
for general policy OF the department
In reclaiming large areas in the United
States formerly wooded for agricultur-
al purposes, and whenever it is deem
ed practical an effort will be made to
create under the auspices of scientific
foresters of the government general
scheme of restoration. Instructions
have been given for the purchase of
seeds in Norway, Sweden and Lapland
for use in the northwest tern states
named above.

LATEST LABOR UNION.
Secretaries to congressman Want
to Get More Money.

The latest labor uion is that formed
by the secretaries of congressman in
Washington. The secretaries say they
are not getting their rights and. they
want them. The law provides that
each congressman may have secre-
tary, and it appropriates, 81 200 year
for each secretary so employed. The
money is now given to the congress
men and they pay the secretaries. 1T
is asserted, and no doubt with truth,
that many congressman practice sharp
tricks to keep the 81, 200 in their own
pockets. Some of them give their Sec
retaries only a few hundred dollars a
year and keep the rest. Others COM
bine in groups of three, four and five
and hire one secretary to do the work
of the whole group Still others name
their wives or daughters as their Sec
retaries, and cases have been known
in which wholly fictitious persons are
named as secretaries by thrifty con-
gressmen. The secretaries have now
organized to prevent, if they can, the
various abuses of the law that are ha-
bitually practiced They want the
government to pay them their sala-
ries direct, and not give the money to
the congressman.

COAL FAMINE INCIDENT.
Two Tons of "BIack Diamonds
Turned Into a Sewer.

In the midst of a coal famine what
would ordinarily be called the "hu-
mors of the situation" depend much Oh
the point of view. The president Of a
leading trust company in Washington
ordered the other day two tons Of coal
for domestic use, says the New York
Evening Post. Tie next morning a
huge chute wagon drew up in front OF
the house. The driver jumped from
his perch, got the cook to sign the re-
ceipt and hunted about for the opening
to the coal cellar Presently finding an
iron plate set in the walk, he pried it
I'D. adjusted the chute, emptied the en-
tire contents of the wagon into the
hole, replaced the plate and drove
away. All the coal men are so rushed
with work nowadays that they waste
no time on noneSsentials, and this one
had not paused even to ask question.
The customer came home to luncheon,
noticed the coal dust about the hole
and fastened into the house to learn
that he was too late to avert the d1sas-
fer. The entire two tons of fuel intend
ed for his cellar had gone into the city
sewer!
"My neighbors seem to think there is
something very funny in all this" he
remarked lugubriously to visitor who
offered condolences with an i'll con-
cealed grin. ''My sense OF humor is
doubtless defective"

"THROWING FITS" IN COAL
Scheme of Fuel Gatherers to Get
Tribute from Laden Wagons.

The coalyards situated at One Hun
dred and Thirtieth street and the
North river, in New York, being too
we'll guarded to make prospecting prof
liable to young fuel seekers, they de-
veloped a new trick the other day to
get anthracite. A dozen or more ur-
chins, clad in rags, gathered in the VI
cinity of Manhattan street and Broad
way, where the large wagons laden
with several tons Of coal each pass
continuously. Very little coal fell from
the carts as they rumbled along, and
scraping the tops Of the loads with
sticks and rakes did not yield much or
a supply says the New York Times.
Finally one boy, seeing an unusually
large load of nut coal heaped high on
a three ton wagon, climbed over the
tailboard and, throwing himself down
in the coal, f1oundered about like one
in q fit, scattering the fuel in all Oil
rections. The astonished driver turned
about in amaZement and did not real
ize the clever trick until he saw the
crowd gathering the plumber; then,
making q wild leap from the seat, he
started after the crowd, which disap-
peared around the corner before he had
taken twenty strides.
The next wagon that came along
was treated in the same manner, each
boy taking his turn at throwing ut
in the COAL" as they called it, while his
companions gathered up the spoils.
Citizens stopped to watch the fun and
seemed to enjoy it immensely. The po-
licemen on post either did not see what
was going on or, if they did, paid no
attention to it. During the afternoon
at least a ton and a half of coal was
scattered through the street. Every
piece was gathered up and carefully
boarded

THOUSANDS 90 TO DAKOTA
Big Influx of Immigrants to the
Land of Billiards.

The immigration to North Dakota
has been exceptionally large during
the past twelve months. 1t is estimat-
ed that upwards of $4,000 people from
the eastern part of this country and
from Europe found homes in that state
during 1862. An Ohio man who visited
North Dakota recently writes that the
rush is still maintained, and that real
estate men report increasing business
and added inquiries. A few years ago,
he says, a settler might have had his
choice of land anywhere along the 500
or the Great Northern lines west of
Minot; now IL is nearly all taken up
by bona fide settlers, while great
deal has been purchased for specula-
ton, Welding handsome returns to in
vestors. A good deal of the land that
is now being taken, he reports. will not
make good farming lands without irri-
cation.
This great rush to North Dakota,
the land of seven mouths winter and
five months of hard cold, the land of
billiards and chilblains, shows what
the railroads and immigration agencies
and land SPECTATORS can do towards
flliug up section of the country when
they try. 1t pays the railroads to move
these people into the northwest from
the Atlantic seaboard and Ohio valley,
because they get a long haul on the
passenger traffic.
