Concert Was Good.

The Charity Urion concert drew only
small crowd to the Nj. E. church Fri
day night, sudden change in the wea-
ther and the fact that the postponed
date was not generally understood
combined to keep many at home who
would otherwise have attended. The
program was very good, though much
abbreviated. Misses holland, Curtis
and Hager and Master Rodney Fairfield
recited entertainingly. Mrs. L. E.
Thornton and Miss Margaret Beam sang
pleasing solos and Mines. Hicks and
Spaid sang pretty Campana duet.
Misses Phillips and Webb played a
beautiful piano duet and Miss Webb
also played very pleasing piano solo.
The program closed with Thompson 3

by Misses Melton and Merrell, Messrs.

Corn Varieties for South Mis-
So souri,.


The Agrjcult ural Experiment Station
has been conducting large number of
corn variety tests with farmers through
out 10th Loit h and south Missouri dur.
ing tie past three years and the results
for 1908 have just been compiled. These
results agree very closely with those OF
previous years and demonstrate the al
most universal adartibi i'y of Boone
County White Corn for the bottom
lands and rich VI lands OF this part ef
the state. Another white variety which
b as very wide adaptability according to
these experiments is the St. Charles
White, which has given good results on
both bottom and uplands. The best
result on uplnnds, however, have been
secured during the past season with a
variety known az Commercial White.
This variety is q selection from the St
Charles White and has been developed
by man in Bates county. The aver.
age this year including all the tests in
south Missouri is ten bushels more corn
per acre than the farmers variety plant
ed directly beside it for comparison.
or yellow varieties the highest yield.
ing variety has been the Leaning first,
Hildreth's Yellow Dent second, and st
Charles Yellow third. The first two of
these varieties are better adapted to the
upands than to the bottom lands al.
though they make fairly good bottom
land varieties. The st Charles Yellow
is particularly bottom land corn.
The results Of these experiments de-
mopstrate thoroughly the very great
Importance Of breeding and selecting
corn varieties, and that there is just
as much to be gained in breeding corn
for high yield and quality as there is in
breeding live stock. The Experiment
Station keeps list OF farmers in south
Missouri who have seed corn Of these
various varieties for sale and it will be
sent on application. The station does
not make practice of selling seed corn.

as his opinion that the state will not
lose one cent as the result of the fail
ure of Devlin's First National bank
several years ago.
At the time of the failure of the
First National the state had on deposit
in that bank $567,389.16. The bank
has paid back 80 per cent of this
amount through its receivership, or
$44S,S59.11, leaving a balance of $685.
530.05 yet due the state from the
bank. Saturday a final dividend of
forty-five hundreds of one per cent
was declared by the bank. Small as
this dividend may appear on its face,
it will net the state over $4,000
The state has secured judgment
against two surety companies for the
amount that yet remains unpaid with
interest at the rate of per cent.
The people of Lansing have decid-
ed to appeal to the state railway board
to compel the Kansas City Western
Railway company to build and main
tain a depot in the prison town. Pa
irons of the road are now compelled
to wait for trains in all kinds of
weather. The law, if enforced, will
give the patrons what they ask.

NEED NO SMALL BILLS.
Banks Slow to Accede to the Request
of the Treasury.

Washington. Sept. 2s.-In view OF
the fact that but 2O4 National banks
out of the total of over 1000 in this
country have acceded to the recent
request of Comptroller of the Curren-
cy Murray that more IS notes be talk
en- by them, it appears that the pre-
diction of the scarcity of small money
i'll the crop moving period this year
is not looked upon seriously by the
bankers of the country.
Proceeding upon the theory that an
additional issue of SIS bank notes
would relieve the large demand for So
silver certificates, and these being re-
leased could be exchanged for 81 bills.
Comptroller Murray two months ago
issued the appeal.
The new issue of IS notes is being
fed into circulation largely through
exchange for worn out and mutilated
silver certificates and bills of large
denomination. Small currency in
great quantities is being turned out
by the bureau of engraving and print
ing these days, daily schedule of
100000 81 bills and 100000 50 bills
being maintained.

INTEREST IS INTENSE.
New York Threatens to Rob Detroit
of Baseball Honors.

New York, Sept. 2S.-Unusual in
terest attaches to the baseball game
scheduled for this afternoon between
the New York and Detroit teams of
the American league. The failure of
Detroit to capture yesterdays game
makes it necessary for that club to
win today's contest in order to clinch
the American league championship.
With Philadelphia playing a re-
markable game now, Manager Jen-
nings admits that the Detroits must
play their best ball to prevent the
Athletics from nosing them out. AS
more than 5000 braved the rain to
see yesterdays battle, 1T is expected
that with fair weather there will be
very large attendance at today's
contest.
