Influence of the Mind.

Prof. Elmer Gates, a psychologist of wide repute, claims to have recently made the discovery that unpleasant emotions create harmful chemical products in the body which are physi- cally injurious. Good, benevolent, cheerful feelings are said 10 create beneficial chemical products which are physically healthful. These products, it is declared, may be detected by chemical analysis in the perspiration of the individual. Prof. Gates says he found more than forty of the bad products and as many of the good. Everyone knows that grief will poison a mothers milk; in fact, it generates an injurious quality so intense in char acter as to sicken an infant.
 Of all the chemical products of emo ton that of guilt is said to be the worst. If small quantity of the precipitation of a person suffering from an emotion of this kind be placed in glass tube and exposed to contact with scientific acid it will turn pink. None of the other poisons similarly generated exhibit the same phenom- enOn.
 Pink would appear to be the pc culiar color of wrongdoing. It is found that for each Lad emotion there is a corresponding chemical change in the tissue of the body which is life-press- ing, exhausting and poisonous. On the other hand, every good emotion makes life-promoting change.

The CornstallS Fields,

When we have corn stalks to work with we go when they are frozen and dry and hitch the horses to q large pole or log that is heavy enough to break them and take the field in lands as we intend to break 1t. Some rake them in windrows and burn them, and we think 1t much better to turn them under. When they are broken down in this way they turn under nicely. Break the ground when it is not wet, and harrow right after the blow, say every half day or every day. This will cut the stalks up and put the ground in better condition to plant to anything than it can otherwise be done.
 Then cross-harrow with some good smoothing harrow. With this treat ment almost any ground will be ready to plant. But if it has been plowed too wet at some previous time, it is liable to be cloddy and it may then be necessary to disc again and roll before planting.-Cor. Indiana Farmer.

After Gov. Dockery had finished
speaking, a recess was taken until II
O'Clock, when 1t was announced that
the credentials committee would re-
port
At II o'clock the committee on Gre
dentials was nearly ready, and the
rush out in the convention hall was
one of the worst in the history Of state
conventions.
The report of the committee on per-
manent organization was received at
1920 a. m. The name of Judge W. W.
Graves, permanent chairman, was
loudly cheered. JEFF Pollard Of st.
Louis was named as reading clerk. in
place of W. N. Smith. Several minor
officials were named. The report was
adopted without amendment by unani-
nous vote.
Congressman Vandiver appointed
Robert Campbell, of Fse; Silas Carr,
of Montgomery, and Aug. Bolte, of
Franklin county, to conduct Judge
Graves to the chair.
AS he came to the platform the on
vention gave him applause.
THE committee knew he would not
bother the convention with a long
speech" said Judge Graves. "You
know what a democratic speech should
be, and you know, and l know, we
should get together and support the
ticket from Parker down. We have an
example set by Mr.. Bryan, who went
out of the st. Louis convention a
stronger man than when he went in"
Judge Graves closed at 1927.
KEENAN, Read Platform.
Gen. KEENAN,, of Mexico, began read
ing the platform at 1896 o'clock. AS
the planks were read there were
bursts of applause from different parts
of the hall.
Peter T. Barrett, of st. Louis, made
a minority report, asking for changes
in the tax laws. Mr.. Barrett is attor-
ney of the house of delegates in the
tax investigation. His plank read as
follows:
I'VE denounce fraud and perjury
committed in tax returns and demand
such change in the revenue laws of
this state as will place omitted or con-
cealed taxable property on the tax list
and bring the perjurers to justice. We
pledge the support of the democratic
party of this state to carry out this
principle by appropriate legislation"
After a session of considerable 0 n
fusion the Barrett plank was defeated
by a vote of 500 noes against 100 ayes,

and then, by unanimous vote the plat
form was adopted as Follows:
The Platform.


The democrats of Missouri, in conven-
ton at the CITY OF Jefferson,
July 10, 1904, renew their allegiance to the
principles Of democracy, as announced by
Thomas Jefferson, and ratlty and attlrm
the democratic national platform adopted
at st. Louis, July S, 1904, and pledge our
hearty and unanimous support to the
nominee of that convention, Hon. Alton
B. Parker.
We especially direct attention to the
honorable achievements of democratic
control in Missouri, throughout 80 years
of history. extending from the admins
tration of Silas Woodson to that of the
present able and efficient chief executive
of the state, Hon. Alexander NJ. Dockery.
We congratulate our party and the peo-
ME of this state on the fact that during
democratic administration of affairs over
one hundred millions of dollars have been
collected and disbursed without the mis-
appropriation or loss of a single dollar.

which bonds were maturing and being
called for payment.
If the state has bonds outstanding on
which a higher rate of interest was being
paid han the school fund would receive
from United States bonds, the United
States bonds were sold and the money
invested in state bonds, which were eX-
changed for school certificates, and these
have been declared to be a sacred obliga-
ton of the state by constitutional amend
ment. The tax rate when the republican
party was driven from power in Missouri
was so cents on the 800 valuation. The
democratic party of Missouri has reduced
this to II cents on the 500 valuation, and
2-3 cents of this goes to thu public school
fund.
There is no state in the union with as
many public institutions to maintain as
Missouri that has as low a tax rates. Mis-
souri, is the only state in the union hat
has lowered her taxes and paid off her
debts at the same time.

The fight for free grass is now, with
few exceptions, upon the skirmish lines
where cattle and sheep interests touch
in their enforced division of the peo-
pies property between them. 1t is but
an armed truce, at all times, all along
these lines. The struggle is to the
death when the truce is broken, and
to the victor come only spoils to which
he has no title but that of possession.
Even these he retains only by unceas-
ing vigilance and aggressiveness, by
never losing ground where it can be
saved, and by being always ready to
enforce where a neighbor shows signs
of weakness. To obtain a sure foothold
the water supply must be secured be-
yond dispute. A single spring may
control a hundred thousand acres Of
free grass. Live stock must have wa.
ter, and where watering places are few
and far between the problem is sim

covers the spring. Several homesteads
strung along in 40-acre tracts, as the
law allows, may control a river bank
for many miles. On either side stretches
