Corder-kincaid.

T. c. Kincaid of near Philadel-
phia, was in the city Thursday
morning and at the Joe depot.
When asked, where are you bound
for, he said: oh, no where, just
looking at the town."
Then the train rolled in and he
and Miss Pearl Corder boarded it
and we thought, oh my, another
one. And sure enough when they
returned on the afternoon train they
bore all of the ear marks that said,
we have seen the parson.
When quizzed, Miss Corder (Mrs.
Kincaid) said: Yes"
"Where?"
AT the court house"
Who by?"
Rev Doty."
So there is the story, and while
it was being told 7. C. stood there
and looked his part to perfection.
Mr.. Kincaid and bonny bride be-
long to two of the old and highly
respected families of Marion coun-
ty and the bride is one of the sweet
est young ladies that is we'll known
in this city.
May their lives be as full of loves
young sunshine as the glorious
October g. Congratulations.

Being Built.

T. j. Crane and wife of near
Philadelphia, were with the Monroe
shoppers Saturday. Jack is en-
thusiastic over the interurban to be
built Immediately. He told us: A
car load of grading tools has been
unloaded at Palmyra and contracts
for building the road bed from La
Plata to Palmyra let.
Hip, hip. and a tiger, for Jack
and the progressive farmers north
of the city who can see an inch be-
yond their nose and are not afraid
to put up a bonus, say of Soc per
acre when they know it will come
back a SIS bill. The road will be a
good thing for them and what is
good for a farmer. the progressive
kind, is good for all.

What Next.

Some time since the Postoffice
department told the country press
how long it could credit a subsrcib-
er and continued to let the Dailies
conduct their business as in the
past. Then the next deal was to
demand box rent in advance and
now it is collect newspaper postage
Country paper) each week. We
wonder if the Globe Democrat is
expected to pay its postage each
morning.
We knew the Republican party's
expenditures were greater than its
income, but thought that possibly
when it raised box rents and de-
manded payment in advance it
would ease its sore spot

Cat Is Out.

President Taft is similar to the
great James G. Blaine. Blaine
wrote too many letters and Taft
shoots off his mouth too much for
his own good or the good of his
party. In swinging the circle he
has at last given the entire scheme
of protection to the individual away
and in so many words admits that
protection is for the corporations
for he says:
of course we are familiar with
the argument that this would be
contribution to private companies
out Of the treasury of the United
States, but we are thus contributing
in various ways on similar princi-

tive tariff laws, by our river and

Success and Failure.

A visitor driving along a high
way just out of Jacksonville was
impressed by the sight of two corn
fields. They were on opposite sides
of a country highway. being Separ-
ated by less than 60 feet. In one
field there were practically no
weeds, while the other was eSti-
mated by men able to judge as
having about rs bushels to the acre,
while the other would not run in
excess of.40 bushels. The reason
for this difference was that one
field had been cultivated thorough
ly through the month of August,
the other laid by in June The
cultivated field had been given sew
eral extra plOwings with a single
horse cultivator after the stalks
were too high to use uwo-horse inn
plement. This cost about twenty
five cents per acre for each Of the
three plowinss. but IS bushels In an
excellent return for the money.
The fields have been noticed by
the farmers going to and from
Springfield this week to the state
fair. and inquiry developed the
above facts, 1t is a simple thing.
but it shows the difference between
success and failure. Quincy Her

The School and the Farm.

Missouri is a state of many and
varied resources, but is first of all
an agricultural state. On Missouri
farms are 282,840 families. Thous-
ands of others derive their liveli-
hood indirectly from the soil. Yet,
important as is agriculture, there
has until recently been compare
lively no attention given to its study,
even in country schools. Too often
is it true that our country boys and
girls are being educated from the
farm instead of for it.
The foregoing is from a bulletin,
The School and the Farm" recent
ly issued by the Missouri State
Board of Agriculture, and which
may be had free by addressing,
Geo. B. Ellis. Secretary, Columbia.
Mo. The bulletin is intended pri-
marily for those engaged in work
in rural schools. but will doubtless
be read with interest by others. The
author explains that by the term
rural schools" is meant not only
the schools in extremely rural dis
tricts, but also those in villages and
small towns which draw largely on
the adjacent country for pupils and
financial support" ta.
Failure to take up the teaching
of agriculture in some FORM" writes
the author, has not heretofore
meant that the teacher has been at
fault. Local conditions may have
been such as to have made it I'M
wise to undertake the work. How
ever, the point we would make
and we would make it plain-is
that the rural school teacher is at
fault when he fails to point out to
the country boys and girls, who are
his pupils. the beauties and advan-
taees of the country, who is con-
stantly directing them cityward,
and whose general demeanor and
conversation is such as to make
them dissatisfied with their sur
roundines. Not that we would have
our boys and girls blindfolded, not
a bit of it. We would not have
them remain on the farm just be-
cause they were born or reared
there, but we would have these
boys and girls receive the kind of
instruction that would be of value
to them should they decide to re-
main there" 'At'.o' .' a' .,.''
Not only is the. need Of agricultu-
raj instruction pointed out but
there are suggestions as to how to

majority of these students were adj
mitted to the university, either af-
ter satisfactory examination or on

spelling is taught in the public
schools or not. Under former edu-
cational methods children we're
taught to spell well.

Transplanting theLappS
Dying Race Being Removed to Lab
rador to Prevent Extinction.

A commencement has been made
in a most remarkable and long
talked-of enterprise. This is moth
ing less than the transplanting of
the Lapps from Lapland, where
they are a dying race, to Labrador,
where it is hoped they will flourish
and increase.
Whether these hopes will be JUS
titled or not remains to be seen.
Similar experiments in the past
have seldom been wholly success
full and some have resulted disas-
trously.
The Doukhobors, for instance,
who, in 1899, were transplanted, to
the number of 5000 or 5000 from
their homes in southern Russia to
the Canadian northwest, were for a
time in dire straits. They also be-
haved erratically, marching naked
through the snow and abandoning
their fiocks and herds to the wolves.
They are now, however, reported to
be settling down and doing better.
On the other hand, the attempt
made some eighty years ago to
transplant the RoSkolnikis of the
Don country to a new home that
was supposed to have been found
for them in eastern Turkestan re-
suited in one of the most chastity
tragedies.
The huge caravan lost its way in
the desert and was never heard of
again, the probability being that
hunger and thirst, combined with
the attacks of nomad robbers, were
responsible for the deaths of the
entire party.
Equally dreadful was the fate
that befell the 10000 Jutlanders
transplanted to the east coast of
Greenland by Queen Margaret of
Sweden. At first they f1ourished
exceedingly. Villages were found
ed. churches and schools were built
and bishop was appointed.
Then one year the ice pack broke
loose from the remote northern
seas and came to a standstill along
the coast opposite the settlements
in a belt fifty miles broad.
All communication with the
open sea was thus cut off. The set
tiers were unable to obtain sup
plies and in the end they persisted
down to the very last man. Stray

Thousands of Turkeys.

Springfield, Mo-, Oct. So Poul-
try dealers here say that the num-
Der of turkeys marketed in Spring
field this year will be up to the av-
erage, although the fatter and finer
birds are not likely to be ready for
the market before Christmas, be-
cause Of the wet weather of the
early spring. 1t is estimated that
at least 100000 turkeys will be
shipped out of Springfield this fall
and winter.
This place is the center of turkey
marketing for Southern Missouri,
and each year thousands of the
birds are driven overland from the
towns in the Ozark Mountain coun-
ties. A drove of turkeys, in charge
of two or three men, can be brought
to Springfield much cheaper than
they can be hauled in wagons. The
drivers experience very little diff
