Russellville is having regular Pindall- Hamiter controversy over the office of mayor. Upon the res ignation of Mayor Reese B. Hogins, Governor Donaghey apointed his son, Floyd B. Hogins, to the office.
 A special election was then held, at which Judge J. F. Bullock was elected. Now the younger MT.
 Hogins refuses to surrender the office, and Judge Bullock is eX- pected to bring custer proceedings in the courts. It is more than
 probable that neither method of filling the vacancy is the correct one, and that a successor to the mayor should have been elected by the city council, and was done when a vacancy occurred in the mayor s office in this city last fall.

AFalse Prophecy

Had we or anyone else proph- esied the first of last December that we would sell by the first of February, thirteen pianos, you would have very readily declared it FALSE pROPHEsY, but this is exactly what we have done. Now what does this mean? To a thinking mind it means that we have THE PIANOS AND THE PRICES. Besides this, we have behind this line of Pianos one of the strongest factories financially in the country. Then why not buy that piano you want from us? You not only save money for yourself but you help to build up your home town when yon Help your HOME DEALER.
 We also carry the Edison photograph, the leader of them all, and any records that we might not have in stock we can get ill twenty-four hours. Also carry big line of small musical goods.

Present Prospects for A Peach Crop

From reports received by the State
Board OF Horticulture from sixty.tlree
counties it is shown that the prospects
are yet good for a big crop OF peaches
this year. There are about three critical
stages in the peach crop The first is
the danger from winter killing, the Sec
ond. late spring frost and, third. the
brown rot which is liable to attack the
fruit Just as it is %ripenin9.
The winter has killed most of the fruit
buds so far as the Elberta and similar
commercial varieties are concerned, in a
great majority of the counties, but the
few counties viz: Howell, Oregon, Rip
ley, Shannon and St. Louis, which yet
show from Is to IS per cent Of live buds,
are the famous peach counties. In fact
it is probably safe to say there are more
commercial orchards in these five coun
Ities than in all the rest Of the state put
together, so that it is clear If they show a
full crop that the entire state can be sup.
piled with peaches and also many car
l1osdS shipped out.
From scattering and incomplete re
ports received it appears that there will
Ee little fruit north OF the Missouri river
except seedlings.
In making up this report Seeding
peaches were not included because they
cut no 6gure in the fruit market.
II is generally considered that a fair
sized peach tree in good condition has

80 many families moved was that they,
might find a place in which to make a
living Or a better living, says William
Esterbrook Chancellor in the April De.
lineator. But in the great aud general
prosperity Of the period that began to
draw to a close a year or " ago, anoth.
er reason became important-to find a
place in which to spend to the best ad.
vantage the income from considerable
property.
Any change in the dollars and cents Of
life means usually that the family will
move. When we get rich, we move.
When poverty threatens, we move.
When the land on which our house
stands rises considerably in value. we
move in order TO invest the profits; and
when it falls, we move because "tlie tene
of the neighboriood is no longer what it
was"
We move for many 9th er reasons.
When we marry of course we move.
Sometimes we marry in order to
have a nor plausible reason for NOV
ing; and sometimes when our children
marry and 20 away from home, we move,
'because the old home seems so lonely"
Nearly every divorce means that two
must move. When the parents die the
children move. As the family grows in
number we move into a larger house in
order to have more room; and when we
can, we move into a better ncignborhood
in order to give the children social adj.
vantages. When unwelcorne faces ap.

Corn Varieties for North Missouri.

The Agricultural Experiment Station
has been conducting a large number Of
corn variety tests with farmers through
out both north and south Missouri dur
ing the 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 almost universal adaptibility OF
the Boone county white corn for the bot
tom lands and rich uplands of this part
of the state. They also show that st.
Charles White and the Commercial
White are, however, somewhat better
adapted to the average and thinner lands
than is the Boone county White. These
three varieties yielded this year over u
bushels more per acre than the average
Weld of corn in this section, yielding
between 40 and a. bushels per acre on at
average Of a large number Of trials in
spite of the bad season.
The highest Welding yellow variety is
the Reds Yellow Dent. This variety is
gaining a wide popularity in north Mis-.
souri, and is especially adapted to the
prairie soils of medium fertility, The
Legal tender variety comes second, the
Hildre,h's Yellow Dent third, and the
Leaning fourth. The yield of these
varieties are all very close together in the
average although the quality of both the
! Legal Tender and IIiidreth's Yellow Dent
is somewhat below that Of the Leaning
and Reid Yellow Dent.
The rcsul ) Of these experiments
demonstrates thoroughly the very great
Importance OF breeding and selecting
cora varieties, and that there is ju>t a.
much to be gained III breeding cor FOR
