While Congressman Madison r. Smith
has been putting in some good work for
the wage earning class, he has not been
unmindiul of the interests of the farmers.
He has been arranging with the depart
ment of agriculture to hold two meet
ings for farmers and fruit growers in
this congressional district during the
summer or early fail. Secretary Will
son has tentatively agreed to send two
experts from the department of agricul-
ture to address these meetings. Two
other experts from the Missouri Agri-
cultural school will probably attend.
Mr.. Smith is uncertain as to the places
where these meetings will be held, but
he is comforting with some of the best
informed farmers of the district with a
view of choosing the most centrally To-
Gated points and the two most easily ac-
cessible by railway. He is also engaged
on scheme for the better CO. ordination
OF the state schools of agriculture with
the department at Washington, which
will be placed before the house in the
shape of a bill. 1t is proposed that the
government extend more efficient aid 10
state schools without any large increase
in expenditures.-Far Times.

of the weather man is never to abate.
More sickness and deaths have been

Last Thursdays Globe-Democrat
said:
"The boldness of some of the recent
pernicious activity among federal Office
holders in Missouri indicates a belief
that it will be binked at at Washing
ton. This view of the case may be a
mistake"
And the next day the same paper
broke out in long editorial in
which it shows up Mr.. Roosevelt
comparing his record when at the
head of the Civil Service commits
sion, and a stickler for the rigid en-
forcement of that law, with his open
and shameless winking at the ''per-
nicious political activity" of his
appointees to office. Yes, sir; we
found all that, "and then some," in
the GIObe-DemOcrat Bible of
Missouri republicans, the gospel
they hang on to for their Sunday
reading. Wouldn't it be "plumb
caution" if that paper has expert
enced ''change of heart" and de-
termined to be decent?
