Yield Of Corn Increased.

An increase of five bushels of corn
per acre of Missouri corn land for one
year alone, with corn at sixty cents
per bushel. would support the Univer-
sity of Missouri, including its Agri-
cultural College, on the present stand
ard, for thirty-seven years. On the
Lamar experiment field, in Barton
county, the Agricultural College, by
scientific. progressive farming, has in
creased the yield Of corn twenty-five
bushels per acre. AS a practical prop
osition, the University and Agricultur-
al College are entitled to adequate
support. Constitutional Amendment
No. IL. to be voted on in November
guarantees such support at an insig
nificant cost to the people Of the
state.

FOR PRESIDING JUDGE.
Wellsville, Mo-, Oct. IL, 191


To the voters OF Montgomery
County:
The Democratic Central Com
mittcn has collected me to ill the
vacancy which existed on the
Democratic ticket for presiding
Judge OF the county court. This
honor was not sought, nor solic-
tied by me, but since my party
has seen tit to repose that trust
in me, I have concluded TO accept
the nomination and make the race.
The nomination not having been
made until Oct. 1, will handicap me
to a certain extent, as I am bus
lily engaged in sowing wheat and
with other farm work, and will
not have the opportunity of max
ing the thorough campaign
would like to. I would deem it
great privilege, If time permitted,
to make thorough canvass of
the county and become personally
acquainted with each and every
voter. But, as the time is SO linn
tied, it will he impossible for me
to do 80.
AS the voters of Montgomery
county, no doubt, know, am a
farmer, 4s years OF age, a man Of
family, and reside on my farm
about three and one-haf miles
northeast OF Wellsville. I was
born and raised in this county,
and have spent my entire life
| here, and am h SON of j. R. Shock
lee, who served one term on our
county court bench as district
Judge, and who was well known
to the older citizens of this coun-
ty.
feel that am qualified for the
position, or I would not ask the
suffrage of my fellow-citizens. II
elected, will endeavor to dis
charge the duties of the office to
the best of my ability, without
fear or favor or partiahty to any
individual, men or set of men.
assure the people of Montgomery
county that I believe the affairs
of my county ought to be admin.
without extravagant expenditure
yet, at the same time, keeping
up, as well as the finances of the
county will permit, the roads, anG
bridges, and schools and public
buildings of the county, and al
the same time distributing public
money and labor equally through
out the whole county, without ia
voritism to any particular section
1t is my belief that on all occa
: sions and under all circumstances
the county court ought to be guild
ed by the law as written on th'
statute books, and under all cir
cumstances and at all times, with
out exception, expect to be guild
ed in my official duties by thu
laws as made and enacted by tn
legislature, and by correct mo
: tives and spirit of fair dealin,
: in all matters which may come be
! fore the court.
Assuring you that, if elected,
will appreciate the honor con
ferred upon me, and will eve
have in mind the best interest o
, the people of this county, and SO
] liciting your support, I am,
: Very truly yours,

that the bonds had been secreted

Must Not Drink.

The entire railroad system con-

sued an anti-drinking order which
will not be relished by the liquor men
along the thousands of miles which
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cifc lines traverse. The order reads
as follows:
1--WE do not wish to have in our
employ men who drink liquor: Do
not employ drinking men. If men
now working under you drink, tell
them they must stop or make way for
men who will not drink"
The order is the result Of the In
vestigation of a number OF mishaps
on these roads, where it has been dis
covered that the loss of property, life
and limb has been the result of drink
ing by employees.

Objections to Growler Business.

The social workers Of Boston are
trying again in the Legislature to
separate the "growler" business from
the saloon. A saloon or any other
bar which sells liquor by the drink
would be prohibited by their bill from
selling liquor in bottles or pitchers
to be taken away. Perhaps the chief
objection to permitting the "growler"
business in a bar is that it brings
women and children into the ordinary
saloon.
