Doesn't Tell the Truth.

A preacher came at q newspaper

men do not tell the truth. II you

editor replied, You are right. And
the minister who will at all times
and under all circumstances tell the
whole truth about his members, alive
or dead, will not occupy his pulpit
more than one Sunday, and then he
will find it necessary to leave town

went away looking thoughtful while
the editor turbed to his work and
told OF the surprising beauty of the
bride when In truth she was as

TO FIGHT BEE DISEASES.
M. E. Darby, the Newly ap-
pointed State Bee Inspector
His Services Are Given
Without Charge.

The Importance OF the honey crop
OF Missouri is much larger than many
people know OF. According to she
last United States census only three
states, namely Texas, California and
New York, exceed Missouri In the
total OF honey products. Missouri
has something like threeiourths OF a
million Cf dollars invested In bees
and spisry supplies and the total
annual product II honey and wax
amounts to from one-hsli million to
three.iourths million dollars.
Within the last Few years very
contagious disease has appeared In
some places In the st,te, known as
foul brood. For the protection OF
the bee owners, the last Legislature
enacted law for the appointment OF
a State Bee Inspector to be under
control Of the State Board OF Agri.
culture. NJ. E. Darby, Of Spring
field, Mo, has been appointed under
that law and his services may now
be secured by making application to
him, giving evidence that the bees
are Injected with foul brood or any
other contagious disease. Mr.. Darby
is a successful apiarist and thorough
ly familiar with treating bees for
foul brood and will promptly answer
all calls made on him for that pur-
pose. As he is in the employ OF the
state, the Board OF Agriculture pro-
vides for his expenses and the bee
keepers will not be called upon for
any part OF the expense.

show in Columbia Ia January. The
Missouri boys corn growing contest
Is given under the auspices OF the
Missouri Corn Growers association,
the state board OF agriculture and
the college OF agriculture. Is Is not
TOO late to enter she contest, and
Prof. NJ. F. Miller, Columbia, secre-
tary Of the Corn Growers associa,
tion, is still receiving ensries.
The purpose OF this contest is to
tench the farmers of she state the
best methods OF agriculture and
especially the best methods In grow.
Ing corn. The best ears Of corn pro.
duced by the boys will be exhibited
at the local shows In the state and
then the state show. Statements
showing the yields OF she corn grown
and cultivated by the youthful con-
contestants will also be on exhibi.
tion.
FOR THE LITTLE BOYS, TOO
The contest is for two classes, first,
the young mems class, for those over
Is and under 20; and, second, those
under 10. The area OF corn in the
first class must not be less than an
acre, and in the second class not less
than a fourth acre.
The secretary has advised the boys
to secure the very best corn that
they can find in their locality for
planting, 80 that it may be well
adapted for their soil and climate

The boys who have entered the
contests have been given careful di.
rections for producing and then Sc.

produced better individual ears and
a heavier yield an acre than that
planted by his father.
The boys we're warned to prepare
the ground well. The old saying
that corn ia half cultivated before
1t is planted" has a great deal OF
truth In It.
An excellent list oiprlzss have been
offered Tor the boys contests. Local
corn shows will be held In various
parts OF the state, and the boys have
been advised TO give considerable at
tention to those shows before send

North Troy end track is laid south OF
Mar sonville, so the road is worked
nearly to the Canadian line, which is
about one mile from North Troy. 1t
is expected that it will soon be ready
to operate to the line where it is to
connect with the franchise rights of
the Midland Railroad company, in
corporated under the laws of Yer
mont. From North Troy the Mississ-
quot valley stretches southerly, and
through this it is hoped that the
Oxford Mountain road will run, con-
Meeting near MorrisvilIe, johnson and

there. 1t would thus pass through a
thrifty country where there will be
no other railroad, and where it is
believed the patronage will amply

connect again with the Canadian
Pacific, and be an important addition
to that active and prosperous village

Fred ID. Pierce Confirms Guar
antee on Hyomei, Cure for
Catarrh.

The question having been raised as
to whether or no Fred D. Pierce will
refund the money if Hyomei outfit
does not do all that is claimed for it
in curing catarrh, he wants TO state
positively that this guarantee is an
absolute fact.
A guarantee like this is the best
proof that can be offered as to the
curative powers of Hyomei in all
catarrhal troubles. You do not risk
a cent in testing its healing virtues,
Fred D. Pierce taxes all the risk.
If you have catarrh, try this won
derful medicated air of Hyomei. It
does not drug or derange the stomach,
but is breathed through neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every outfit,
SO that its medication reaches the
most remote air cells in the nose
throat and lungs, where any catar-
rhal germs may be lurking. 1t quickly
destroys them, heals and soothes the
irritated mucous membrane and
Vitaliz9 the tissues SO that catarrh is
40 longer possible. You can lose
nothing by giving Hyomei a trial,
nothing but the catarrh and that is
good radiance.
The price of the complete outfit is
81 90; nothing if il fails to cure. Get
an outfit from Fred D. Pierce TO-DAY
and begin its use at once.
