NO ACTION AS YET
| ON PROPOSED WORK
Board of Public Works Has
Made No Move in Refer
ence to Paving.
AFFECTS SEVERAL STREETS
THERE is CERTAIN TO BE A RE-
MoNSTRANcE IN REFERENCE
TO NORTH & STREET-BoARD
SAID TO FAVOR.
AFFECTS SEVERAL STREETS

The board of public works has as
yet taken no steps toward ordering
the improvement of Eighth street
from North A to South A; North E
from Tenth to- Sixteenth: North d
and North Third by paving. Neither
has there been a meeting of the in
terested property owners as was sug-
gested by Councilman Engleberu at
the last council meeting when he and
Councilman Deuker introduced mo-
tons to have the board consider the
paving of the streets referred to.
1t is an assured fact that action on
the part of the board ordering the pro-
posed improvements would meet with
much opposition on the part of the
affected property owners and they
probably would fight the matter tic the
last ditch. The citizens at large fav-
or the proposed paving of these
streets and it is the general impress
sion that there would be no objection
on the part of the tax payers to have
The city meet half of the expense
that would arise from such improve
mentS.
Favored by the Board.
Members of the board seem to favor
the paving of the streets named in
the motions of Councilmen Engiebert
and Deuker and it is probable some
time in the near future resolution
for the Improvement of these streets
will be ordered and, in turn, adopted
and confirmed. There is certain to be
a remonstrance filed against these
and the matter will
then go to council for final DISPOSE
ton. 1t IS hard to state what action
council will take but at the last meet
ing the paving project seemed to be
looked upon with general favor and it
would be no surprise if council con-
firmed the action of the board, in
case that body was obliged to refer
the question to council.

That Code OF Ethhics.

OF course this thing Of having a
code of Ethics and enforcing it is. all
right; it must be or the wise doctors
would not be so welded to the idea !;
but, right, though it may be, it strikes
us that even the healers may 60 a
little too far with matters concerning
which, after all, there must be some
differences of opinion. Dignity, of
course, we are willing to admit, is an
essential of the medical profession,
at least of the successful practice
thereof, but all the same there are a
lot Of people who will tell you they
have seen some of these ponderous
fellows carry dignity to the point of
the broadest sort of humor, with
themselves holding the center of the
stage. The dignity idea Of course, is
the basis Of the taboo placed on ad-
vertising, and there may be justiIi Ca
ton for course thatforbids the heal
ing art calling attention to itself by
any undue display or noise. But
now and then the thing is carried to
point where more is lost IN the way
of denial Of individual rights than is
gained in dignity by going to ex-
tremes. Then is when we hear these
hints of rebellion against the code.
One of these comes from over in CEN
trail Illinois. This doctor was be-
liever in the code, and in fact some-
what of stickler therefor, until he
found himself yanked up the other
day on charges Of having fractured it.
He was astounded and at a loss to
know what was the matter with his
confreres until he found out, and then
his wonder gave way to great big
disgust. He was charged with hav-
ing driven piebald horse hitched to
his regular calling buggy. This was
construed as counting notoriety, and
he was accordingly censured. He
doesn't think half as much of the
code now as he used to.-The Wom-
ans National Daily.

For Supreme Judge.

The Journal learns that strong
effort is being made by the friends of
Hon. Argus Cox to induce him to
enter the race for the Republican
nomination for Judge OF the Su-
preme Court. Mountain Grove is
the old home of Judge Cox, he hav-
ing settled here aud entered the prac-
tice of law nearly 20 years ago.
His judicial turn Of mind, his train
ing for practice at the bar, and his
experience of nearly fifteen years as a
circuit Judge, where all manner OF
legal propositions are constantly aris-
ing and decisions must be made on a
moments notice, have well fitted him
for position on the states highest
judicial tribunal.
Practically all our supreme judges
have come from the circuit bench,
and the record OF Judge Cox on cases
that have been tried before him and
then reviewed by the supreme court,
and the opinions expressed by mem
bers of that body, show that he is full
ly worthy to sit with that body of able
jurists.
As citizen, neighbor, and an
upright christian gentleman, he is the
peer OF any man in the state and
should he enter the race we predict
he will have the united support Of
this entire part OF the state, and in
no place will he be stronger than in
his old home county of Wright where

Effective Advertising.

The importance of advertising is
being realized more and more every
year. The case of the Kansas black
smith who gradually increased his
space from small card until he was
using half page in a newspaper ex-
cites little interest, but few years
ago he would have been considered a
fool. The field is broadening. 1t is
not every advertiser who knows how
to advertise or who realizes the i'm
portance Of that feature of his busi-
ness. In many instances it is the
subject of first importance. The
merchant who writes his ads when he
has time and lets them run another
week, or tells the printer to put in
something il he wants it changed will
not obtain the best results. The ad-
vertising should generally command
as much thought and study as any
other feature of the business. Every
merchant should be urged to tax,
some trade publication on that sub
ject. Every newspaper publisher
should study the subject both from
the merchants point of view, trade
getting, and from the artistic side.
In reading some critics on the SUBJ
ject we believe the form rather than
matter is emphasized. 1t is what the
merchant says and the way he says it
that is of first Importance. The great
speeches are always the result Of
study, SO are the great advertising
hits. When complimented on an Off
hand speech great orator replied,
''You speak of no preparation, why,
my dear sir, ! have been studying that
subject for twenty years. We will
not discuss the importance of giving
prices, but we want to mention two
minor points. Every ad should con-
tain the merchants address, and now
that the telephone has come into such
general use the phone number should
appear in every ad and on the office
stationary.-P Pointers.

NOTES ON INSECTS,

Miller Purvis thinks one particular
poultry insect is worse than all the others
combined. This particular one is very
small insect ordinarily called louse, but
in reality, is small spider or mite which
increases at remarkable rate and often
, infests the poultry house in myriads be.
fore its presence is known. Mr.. Purvis
believes this insect to be ide lticll with
the one which infests English sparrows
and where these birds resort to the poul.
try yard to steal food constant warfare
against the mites must be waged. 1t is
comparatively easy to keep poultry
house free of these enemies and the mat.
ter should not be neglected. Dust is
fatal to almost all insects, especially OF
the soft bodied ones. A dust bath is the
fowls way Of washing themselves and
keeping at bay the insect enemies. This
dust bath may be common road dust or
other dry and finely pulverized earth or
coal ashes sifted to clear them from
cinders.
Do not use wood ashes in the dust bath

Our Poultry Department.

Why there may be few who enter the
field of poultry culture just for the fun of
the thing, we think we may safely say
that three fourths thus engaged hope to
catch the golden gleam of few extra
dollars. One of the ideas that often ends
in disaster is that the poultry business is
go.it easy, get-rich-quick scheme. On
the contrary, there is no field of work
where the old adage MAKE. haste slow
ly, should be more constantly observed.
No one expects that barber though a
good one in his line. would succeed II he
suddenly changed his trade and purchas-
ed a large dry-goods stock, or that city
clerk would be a shining success il he
quit his vocation and, without previous
experience, engaged in the science of
farming. Still it appears that often the
retired merchant, or the unsuccessful
lawyer, thinks he may jump into the
poultry business. as some one remarks,
Like boy jumping into a swimming
pool, and expects to come safely to the

Gathered From Our Exchanges.

some hesitation, in Jefferson City, Mo-
"How frightful," " exclaimed the bystand

wonder you never held office. A man

VERSAILLES, politically, is a monde

"Ilh saloon revenue of
,4JUU peI annun. has steadily fallen
benin 4, and now with the saloon
eliminated, it will require first class
business management to meet the
new requirments, keep the city
government in good running order
and pay off the debt acquired under
the license system. 1t will require
patriotism and civic pride as well as
good business management, and
these must be backed By party senti-
inent and pride in showing the other
fellows that they know how to do it,
and are willing to shoulder the burd-
en-. Therefore, we suggest that the
Republicans OF Versailles organize,
and put out Republican city ticket
for the spring election. This will
compel the Democrats to also organ
ize, and both will be compelled to
draft their best men for the several
offices, which ever side wins we are
more likely to have a good working
city government. This, we think,
should have been the program at the
last election, and two years could
have been saved, but now the only
thing to do is to organize for next
spring, and by the spring of 1909 the
victorious party will be in shape to
do something.

Depends On Where You Are.

Over at Richmond they are debating
whether or not the phrase Go to h--l'
is profan ty. In the state OF Mississippi
supreme court decision elects that the
phrase is not profane. Assuming this
decision to be equitable in its applica-
ton to Mississippians, it might be very
bad law when applied to Missourians.
About the only profanity in the express
sion is the evil wish in the mind of the
one who utters it. Should the desire of
the speaker be with good intent, the ut
terance is not profane. In Mississippi
this latter condition might be assumed.
In Missouri, however, hades is unani-
mously esteemed to be q worse place than
where we live, hence when you tell a
Missourian to "go to" you indulge
