BEAT THE EDITOR.
And 1t Was a Very, Very Mean
Trick.

Farmers should remember that
the pure food law holds them re-
sponsible if bad eggs are put on
the market by them. 1t is un-
safe to hold them too long or the
fine might be a good deal more
than the profit.-Mexico Message.
We paid 26 cents for a dozen
the other day and one of them had
"a chicken in its shell about ready
TO hatch and several others wece
in bad health. This is no lie,
friend. These eggs had been
packed in salt and we don't know
where to place the blame, on the
salt, the man who brought the
eggs to maket or the man who
sold them to us. They had evidens-
ly been kept over from last sum
mer, held for higher prices, or the
nests had been robbed Of their
nest eggs after the price of hen
fruit advanced. We don't mind
paying the market price for a
good article, but we do object TO
eggs that have been sick with an
incurable disease for several
weeks or months. And then yOu
know, chickens are worth a lot
more than eggs and we don
like to take advantage Of you.
The pure food man may get you
if you don't watch Out.-AuX-
vase Review.

Statewide Prohibition.

The greatest issue that will be
decided by the people of Missouri
at the general election in 1910 will
be that Of statewide prohibition.
Under the initiative and refercn-
dun, less than $4,000 petitioners
can submit to the voters this great
question. Petitions for this pur-
pose are now in the hands of the
people in all parts Of the State and
thousands of signatures have al
ready been secured. In a very few
weeks the requisite petitions will
be in the hands of the secretary %
state. He will then have no choice
but to place the issue on the Off
cial ballot and submit it to the
vote of the people.
The submission of the question.
therefore, in the next general cleo
ton is inevitable whether we be-
lieve in the wisdom of submission
or net. The only alternative that
now remains open to any citizen
is as to which side of the issue he
will support with his vote and in.
tluencc. In November, 1910. about
100000 Christian voters will an
swer this momentous question.
The state committee Of the consti-
tutional amendment association
awaits with confidence the enlight-
ened verdict of the people.
This mighty conflict will decide
the future Of the great imperial
state that lies in the very heart of
the Republic and forms the great
commercial gateway to the West.
The most stupendouS brewing in
tcrcSts in the world are located in
the metropolis of this state.
The entire Mississippi basin and
the West are under tribute to
these breweries, and are pouring
into their Golfers more than $780,
100000 every year. Liquor forces
driven from other states by the
march of the temperance cause are
swarming into Missouri to aug
ment the strength of our oppo-
struggle with which we are con
fronted, it is confidently hoped
that every citizen who is opposed
to the devastation that is being
wrought by the liquor traffic will
enlist without delay in the active
prosecution of this great move
ment to the end that Missouri may
be redeemed.

RAILROAD TO STUDENTS ATTENDING THE
SHORT WINTER COURSE IN AGRICUL-
TURE AT THE UNIVERSITY
OF MISSOURI

More than sixty men give instruction to
students in the College of Agriculture.
Thirty-seven teachers and investigators
devote their time exclusively to instruc-
ton in the College of Agriculture. The
College owns the largest and best herd
ofdairy cattle in any Agricultural College
in the world. Only seventeen Jersey
cows in the world have produced more
than seven hundred pounds of butter in
one year; FIVE of these were bred and
developed at the Missouri College of
Agriculture.
In 1907 a Missouri student at the In
ternational Live Stock Show at Chicago
made the highest score in live stock
judging ever made by any student of any
College. In 1909 the Missouri Live
Stock judging team won the FIVE hun
dred dollar cup at the American Royal
Show at Kansas City in competition with
Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska. Expert
ments conducted by the College have
increased the corn yields in southwest
Missouri twenty to forty five bushels per
acre and the wheat yields fifteen bushels
per acre.
The new Agricultural building will be
occupied for the first time this year by
Short Winter Course Students. This
fine building contains more than an acre
of floor space devoted exclusively to in
struction and investigation in agricul-
ture.
At the end of the term, Dean F. 3.
Mumford will nominate a student from
each of the eightc, II Wabash counties III
Missouri who, Lating taken the full
seven weeks course, makes the best
progress, and that student will be
mailed check for $50. 90 by the Wabash
Railroad Company.
