exhibition last ni3h before the field

traces the trajectory OF the shell from

The Cabbage Snake Scare.

More then hundred letters have
been received by the Missouri Agri.
cultural College asking for iniorma.
tion concerning the 80 called "poison.
Gus cabbage snake" aud the collec.
tion OF snails, centipedes and other
creeping things received from these
inquirers would form the foundation
for a splendid collection OF Missouri's
lower animal lie. Tue most pecu VI
thing about this scare that has
swept the state from one end to the
other is that it has no foundation in
fact. Professor J. NJ Stedman, En-
tomologist OF the College says, "Not
a thing is found on cabbage that
could not have been found any fall
for the last twenty years, "AnC
more than this" he continues, "there
is not'a animal in the world that
will poison cabbage so as to ininre
the person eating the cabbage alone
or both cabb,gs aud animal. The
whole scare seems to have started
from a fake report concocted by a
correspondent OF one OF the st. Louis
papers.

The Missouri Mule.

A Missouri paper says "our advice
to Missouri is don't buy automobiles;
buy mules" This blast of wisdom
is based upon sprediction OF govern.
ment authorities that next year pick
ed mules will be worth $3.50 and draft
mules will be in demand at 5000 each.
The mule has become . social and
economic necessity. As one enthu.

Long after the last human being has

toes for winter use is recommends
ed by one who has tried it. The
plan is to gather the green toma-
toes when frost is imminent and
paper, pack them in boxes and
store them in a room secure from
frost but net very warm A few can
be brought to a warm room when
desired and they will ripen in a
few days. BY following this plan
fresh tomatoes can be enjoyed un-

to pay the 400 mill levy made for
the year 1903 alleging that he owns
Prinster's Ditch. No. z, which de.
rives its water supply from Ander
son arroyo and provides sufficient
water to irrigate his land.
Mr.. Gillen owns 100 acres with
in the boundaries Of the district
and he also asks that his land be
adjudged and decreed outside, for
the reason that he derives a suffi-
cient water supply from King
arroyo ditch. Mr.. Gillen paid the
district taxes for. the year 1909.
The district tax on his 100 acres
for the year 1908 amounts to SIro.
