The Mortgage.

high water never washes away
the mortgage. 1t may uproot trees
and take the hencoops sailing on
down to the next state. but after the
floods have subsidized the mortgage
is still there as firmly as tho 1t had
been anchored to foundations Of the
earth and then nailed down to the
door sills of the barn to make it
doubly secure.
Cyclones may blow away the
woodshed, unroof the house or take
the hay stack on an excursion over
into another county, but when the
blow is over it is always found that
not even a corner of the mortgage
has been Jared.
Talk about sticking closer than a
brother, There is a fir. md that hangs
to the place like q po Gus plaster
Thieves do not come in and STEAL it
the sun does not warp it; neither does
it wander off down the road every
time the gate is left open.
For good, practical recipe fo1
losing mortgage, men would pay
most any sum; but try their bes
they simply can't.-CaruthersviHt

What would the people think of a
foundling's home that insisted that
Its inmates should continue to be
supported by the people until they
should finally die of old age, weaken
cd in body and intellect because they
were not required to do anything
themselves in the battle for exis-
tence7 In that case the imposition
would not be permitted to stand for
. moment, but the people have per-
mitted the "infant Industries" of the
country to take the same course,
drawing their sustenance from the
nursing bottle called the tariff.
-Caruthersville Democrat.
YES, and if the people were re-
quired to walk up to collector once
a year and pay the amount of money
this same tariff costs them, all in a
lump sum, like they do state and
county taxes, and understand that
much more than half Of it goes INTO
the pockets Of trust magnates, the
tariff wouldn't last much longer than
the time required for the next con-
gress to repeal it.

An Insurance Fraud.

Several months ago one DIR. II. u.
Lightle, ofSearcy, Ark, was report
ed as burned to death in his stable.
The bones were identified and the
funeral conducted in grand style, for
the supposed deceased was proml-
nent man. 1t now turns out that
the bones were those ola man named
Pitts, whose grave was robbed. DR..
Lightle carried S21, 900 insurance on
his life, and the companies paid the
amount to his widow. In some way
it was learned that Lightle was
alive, and that his confederates had
demanded of the widow their share
ofthe insurance money, and told her
where to send 81 900 to her husband.
| The widow did not know, she says,
| up to that time that her husband was
alive. She will return the money to
the insurance companies and they
will not prosecute her, criminally, 1t
is said.--Dgnklin Democrat.

Opposed to Corrupt Deals.

Clinton A. Welch, who managed
the campaign for the republicans in
st. Louis two years ago and who
furnished the evidence to the Fed
eral authorities regarding natural
izntion frauds, says the ST. Louis
Republic, said yesterday that he did
not intend to be sacrificed by the
hucksters now in control Of the
party organization, because of his
exposure of the Walbridge-Butler
deal.
Since the St. Joseph state conven-
ton, the Missouri State Republican,
edited by E. G. Brokmeyer, and a
number of country republican pa
pers, which are allied with the Wal
bridge crowd, have been attacking
Welch and impugning his motives.
As for Mr.. Welch, be dees not pro-
pose to keep silent under fire. 81 am
not .sore,'" said Mr.. Welch yester
day. 81 simply did my duty by ex-
posing the "unholy alliance before
the state convention acted. 1t may
not harmonize with the present or
ganization's idea Of politics. but it
has the merit of being honest.
II fail to see how my making the
charge that a corrupt deal was made
by the anti-Roosevelt forces in the
state, aided by some Federal Office
holders, with the criminal elements
Of the democratic party can be con-
structed as in aid of any democratic
nominee, as the deal was to give up
everything on the state ticket, ex-
cept the republican nominee for
governor was to be supported by the
criminal element of the democratic
party. No account was to be taken
OF the republican electoral vote and
the republican city ticket this fall
and nextspring were to be sacrificed.
SIT is evident that it is the expo

Seed Wheat.

Original experiments by the Uni
versity of Missouri with eighty
varieties of wheat show that the
annual yield of this grain in Missouri
might be increased more than 2,000,-
900 bushels if the farmers of the state
would give more attention to the
selection of seed. Professor F. B.
Mumft rd, acting Dean of the Agri-
cultural Department, under whose
direction the experiments have been
performed, says:
"a large number of accurate ex-
periments show conclusively that
large plump grains of wheat always
give larger and more vigorous plants
and better yield than small grains.
One farmer who at the request of the
college screened his wheat, sowing
only the larger grains for several
years, and thus increased his yield
five bushels an acre. On the state
farm where the experiments have
been under the immediate direction
of the college a similar increase has
been apparent in almost every case
where we have used full, plump
grains for seed. These results agree
almost exactly with those secured
by the Tennessee Experiment Sta
ton which found that Poole wheat
grown from large grains yielded
twenty-seven bushels an acre, while
the same variety from small grains
yielded only twenty-five and six
tenths bushels.
Most of the large grains are pro
duced in large, vigorous heads, con-
tanning many kernels and thus 1t
follows that selecting large grains
for seed results in selecting them
from the most productive heads.
The simplest method of selecting
the largest seed is to screen out the
smaller with an ordinary tanning
mill. Screens are manufactured
especially for this purpose that do
the work thoroly and they may oe
had at reasonable price A little
| attention to the selection Of seed
wheat this fall will increase next
summers harvest at least ten per

the country telephone and the free
rural delivery have made farm life
much moro attractive than formerly.
In fact, 1t IS becoming the ambition
of the young men to stay on the farm
and get bigger ones of their own.
That is very laudable. There is moth
ing the country needs much more
than improved agriculture, as the
time is coming when intensive meth
DDS must be used to feed the popu-
lation. The young man on the farm
who thinks he would like to 60 to
the city is pro badly making a mis-
take"
This is sound advice The boy
who cOntemplatcs entering college
this fall would do well to consider
agriculture carefully rs his life work
To the Missouri farmer boy, the
Missouri College Of Agriculture at
Columbia offers the best opportuni-
ties in the direction of training to
profitably till the broad and produc-
tive acres of our state. Here boy
will get not only the best experience
of Missouri farmers but the best of
farmers everywhere so far as that
experience is applicablet to Missouri
soil and climate. This is Il cumula-
tive fund Of experience that one has
no business working out for himself
and the Missouri Agricultural Col
lege is the best agency to impart it
to the young farmers of our state. |

thing l regret is that l did not heal
of the corrupt deal in time to have
organized enough patriotic repubh

scheme.
missouri could have been carried
for Roosevelt and Fairbanks and
also most, if not all, the republican
state ticket if the opportunity had
not been huckstered away. Some
of the men now in active control OF
the party were deposed from the
city committee two years ago by the
state committee for bartering away
the rights of the party.
DEAL MADE TWO YEARS AGO.
GA deal was made that year with
Butler and Meriwether, by the same
elements to divide the city offices in
this city between these parties or
representatives of their parties and
the republican party. The political
hucksters are in another deal, this
time affecting the entire state, and
the worst one in the history of the
party. This kind of deals have come
to be biennial events in st. Louis
politics.
Il stand with vast majority of
Missouri republicans, who are OPP
posed to such treachery and corrup-
ton and look to the future for a
remedy. The honest, patriotic re-
publicans of this state will scourage

Tie Boy Who EarnS

The time past when people will
believe that the boy who farms is
the one of all others who needs no
preparation for his life work than
that which he gains from the hard
school of personal experience. In
agriculture as in other professions
the boy may profit by the cumulative
experience of his race and this ex-
perience can best be learned at the
Agricultural college. Commenting
upon this, the Philadelphia Inquirer
says:
'"Thirty years ago scientific edu-
cation in agriculture was shifted at
by farmers. They thought it as use
less and silly to go to school to learn
farming as for girl to teach her
grandm other how to knit socks. All
one needed to learn about farming
was by practical application. The
theory was false and one result was
that the brightest young men left the
farm for business or the professions,
while the dullards, stayed at home
and titled the soil. But a new order
of things has come about and the
younger men are seeing the advan-
tage of this sort of education. It
requires as high technical training
to be good farmer as a good physi-
clan, and those who know are win
