An Optimist

It. j. Rowland, n of Boone
county's prominent farmers, had
the following to say to the Co
lumbia Statesman of last week, in
regard to the cold snap Nat
wrought such havoc in the orchard
and gardens ali over the country.
He said:
"This cold spell may get some
of the fruit, but it also got a lot
of chinch bugs. There We're millions
of chinch bugs that came through
the winter and would have Civ. n
us trouble later IN. But when
that warm spell came about three
weeks ago they got out and flew
everywhere and we're beginning
to multiply. This cold, wet wealth
err just paralyzed them, The
drenching rains washed away
millions and Others were frozen.
1t will be a blessing even il it
kills the fruit it will be made up in
corn and wheat. All these things
happen for the best, if we could
only see it that way."-Columbia

A Pessini7t

Farmers are not benefiting large
ly from the increased cost OF liv-
ing. The cost of production in
agriculture has increased by leaps
and bounds. Farm labor is so to
rs per cent higher than a few year
ago. In many localities it is i'm
possible for farmers to secure suf-
ficient farm labor at any price.
The value of land has more than
doubled in ten years in this state
Unintelligent methods of farming
have resulted in a constantly di-
minishing supply of fertility in
the soil.
The farmers have reached the
point nov when this lost fertility
must in some way be rebuilt. This
becomes an additional charge
against the cost of production
which has not been reckoned with
during the past fifty years. F.

The extent to which the bucket

is almost incredible, and the ma
chinery devised for entrapping the
unwary is shrewdly constructed.
Not only did the bucket-shop op-
orators do their business, nominal
ly as ."stock-brokers," but they
maintained and organized stock ex
change, on which enough legiti-
mate business was done to make a
showing of honesty and fair deal
ing.
But the chief patrons OF these
places were nothing but gamblers.
They did not want to buy or sell
anything, any more than does the
man who bets on which lump of
sugar a fly will next light. The
proprietors of the places allowed
their patrons to win only enough
to keep them interested, but by N
system of secret wires secured adj

abled them to prevent any Gus

Dodging the Shells

Ben Colder, n of East Mar
shall's respected colored citizens,
gave us the following article writ
ten by himself of a war experience
During the siege of Pittsburg,
one evening after roll-call the
enemy began to shell us pretty
lively. Samuel Dicks, my COM
rade, was cooking his supper and
was boiling coffee in an old
oyster can. The can was full OF
hot coffee and he was also frying
some bacon. When the shells pass
ed over our heads, Sam thought
they were too near for comfort,
seized his can of coffee and start
ed for the bomh-proof. The
coffee scalded his fingers so that
he let it fall. In the meantime
another shell came a little nearer
as the enemy got our range, and
Sam started for his bacon. Boom
Another shell dropped between
Sam and his bacon and he con-
Guided to do without bacon for
supper and made for the bomb
proof. Boom, and a shell fell on
top of the bomb-proof. Out Sam
popped like a cork out of a bot
tie. Biff, and another shell fell
outside and in goes Sam ii double

Bucket Shops

Maintaining a safeguarding
%office-in other words, a bucket
shop-is an offense against the
United States laws. A bucket-shop
is a place where men make bets
that the price of a stock will rise
or fall by offering to buy SO many
shares at such a price, or offering
to sell a similar amount at a SINH
lar price. There is no expectation
of buying the stock or OF selling it
but the forms of such legitimate
business transactions are observ-
ed and innocent people who de-
sire to invest their money ire there
by duped into doing business with
such places. They usually lose ~
the money they invest.
The Attorney-General has lately
secured indictments against a
group of men who have maintain
ed two hundred and fifty such gam
bling-offices in various parts OF
the country, and he has announc-
ed his purpose to prosecute them
to the full extent of the law. 1t is
confidently expected that he. will
succeed in stopping their business
as his predecessors under laws

Hair Ball in Stomach

London-The death of a young
girl under circumstances which ut
terly mystified the attendant med
ical men has been reported to the
Hackney coroner.
For over three years the girl had
been a constant out-patient at st,
Bartholomew hospital, but the
doctors could find no trace OF any
disease. She steadily got worse,
and died this week.
A postmortem examination has
now shown that she had a ball OF
hair in her stomach. 1t is presum-
ed that the ball was gradually
formed out OF hairs which the girl
had swallowed while combing out
her hair and holding the ends in
her mouth.

WEEDS COST MONEY,

Weeds reduce yields. They pump
out moisture and take up plant food.
And the crop is reduced by that much.
When the grain is growing they take
out moisture, and after the crop is cut
they still keep on. When the grain is
cut the ground win usually plow nicely
but in a month or two the weeds have
pumped out SO much moisture that the
ground is too dry to pillow, breaks up
in Jumps, SO that 1t is left in poor con-
dition to take in moisture and also
gives it up easily. In this way next
years crop is cut short.
A good deal can be done by discing
as soon as the grain is cut. Then
plan to grow a crop Of corn and a
crop Of clover every four or five years.
This will do much to kill out weeds
and to increase the water holding capa-
city Of the soil. A thin application Of
stable manure will laso be very help
full 1t furnishes humus which acts
like a sponge or plotting paper in
holding moisture. The blowing under
Of green crop is also helpful.
This will do much toward increasing
the yield and insuring a crop under adj
verse weather conditions. N 4.
