lieve that it will soon be as common q
study as geography or arithmetic.
At meeting of the board Of agri-
culture, held last winter, it was decij
ed to make an effort to bring about the
establishment Of county or district ag-
ricultural schools, in which the sciences
related to agriculture and live stock
husbandry should be taught.
The Columbia high school was Sc
lected for the experimental work, and
arrangements were made for lectures
by professors and students of the ag-
ricultural department of the university
before the high school students This
course has been carried on through the
year, and the result mas been very sue
cessful.
In a report just made by Superin-
tendent Halls Of the high school to the
secretary Of the state board of agri-
future, he says:
1T affords me much pleasure to state
that the class organized in scientific
agriculture at the beginning of tine Sec
ond term of the high school is doing
very satisfactory work
"The pupils are manifesting an en-
thusiastic interest, and the results be-
ing obtained are fully equal to our ex-
pectations. The work is no longer in
the experimental stage, but is a de-
cided success in every respect"

view of placing agriculture on the cur

state, and the result leads those VINO

DR.. Watson Goes Free.

DR.. Watson, who has just been
tried at New London, Rails
county, Mo-, for the killing of
his wife, has been acquitted by
the jury that tried him.
The action of the jury is not
surprising to those who have
closely followed the details of
the case, as it had been freely
predicted the past week that
even though DIR. Watson be
guilty, the testimony of the eek
perts" and their contradictory
statements would result in the
acouittal of the defendant,
whose defense mainly had been
based on the unconscious con-
dition in which he was found
lying near the body of his dead
wife and his regaining con-
scicusness 36 hours later.
The tangling up of the state 5
experts and the showing of
the activity of the insurance
companies in assisting in the
prosecution did more to secure
DR.. Watson's freedom than any
testimony offered by Watson's
attorneys.

mopping up his drugstore floor.

uOppILS up HIS drugstore loofs
The same dose of 81 and costs
was dished out to Robertson by
Police Judge Jackson on a plea
of guilty Saturday morning.
So much for telling the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but
the truth.
Now, as to the denial of It..
Berry Robertson concerning our
statement in last weeks COURIER
in regard to what he is pleased
to call his personal financial
obligation we have only this
to say:
The 1926 (less S10O that has
since been paid) office rent
Robertson owes is due Hopkins
e. Schrenk of Brunswick. If
you don't believe it ask Hopkins.
AS to the $40 unpaid bill due
a lady osteopath for rubbing the
Brunswicker dude down, and
which is now in the hands of an
officer for collection, address
Constable A. L. Cord, Bruns-
wick, Mo.
The board bill Of $40 is really
500 and for that amount Mrs.
Ger trude Sasse ot the Florence
hotel at Brunswick has been VIC
timized.
The former Brunswick drug
gist's account for $40, the great
er part of which was for cigars
and perfumery, w. H. Owen,
now of Cincinnati, Ohio, held the
bag for a long time, but that
bill has been settled by j. w.
Robertson,ss probably with our
money, since the last issue of the
COURIER and even since the fight.
There seems to be no question
of doubt but what Berry is an
awful stinker and needs 'per-
fumery" to counteraet his Of
ffensive ordor.
We have always thought that
every skunk should use disin :
fectant and j. Berry Robertson
is no exception.
Berry may rip and snort and fight,
But his muscle won't set him right.
Why should he fret and fume and sizzIe
When all we'll know he is f1zzle?
There is moth ing to him at all
Unless it be hot air and gall
He should hush his voice and cease 10 bray
For they give him dead away
OF all we say We have the proof
We We only told the naked truth.
But there's panacea for Berry's ills
If he'll only pay his bills
IL 1OF me Flgnl ne IL Cake d stan
He even yet may make man;
II over wrong he'll cease to boast
And drink to honesty toast.
Now, Berry, please tell US who
has lied. Take our advice anc
crawl in your hole, then yanh
the orifce in after you and stay
there until you have sense
enough not to deny the truth OF
monkey with the buzz. saw
They are both loaded. Attend
strictly to your own business and
then others will not meddle with
your business; cease to chuckle
over the dishonesty of your
daddy and brother, who COM
posed the late firm of j. K. Rob.
ertson 5: Son, and who took S40C
of ouc money and gave not a
farIhing in value received; use
more soap and water and less
perfumery, Berry, and you will
be cleaner, healthier and happier
stand up for the right and con-
demn the wrong and you will be
stronger morally; tell the truth,
! Berry, and you won't be a liar.
