Missouri Wins High Honors

AT the American Royal Stock show
held at Kansas City, October 10th to
18th, I. r. Douglass, a student of the
University of Missouri made the
highest score in judging all classes of
live stock in competition with Iowa,
Nebraska. and Kansas. The students
from Missouri also won the highest
individual score on cattle and hogs
and tied for the highest individual
score on horses.
The best score made by any student
OF any Institution was that of S. T.
Simpson of Missouri, who made
perfect score in judging cattle.
This is the highest score ever made
by any student in any contest in the
United States. The next highest
score was made by an Iowa student
at Chicago in 1909.
T. R. Douglass of Missouri also
made perfect score-in judging hogs.
This is the highest score ever record
ed in hog judging contest in the
United States.
Not only did the students win high
places in the judging contest but the
fat cattle shown by the College of
Agriculture won many important
prizes. At the three Live Stock
shows held at St. Joseph, Sedalia
and Kansas City, the Missouri College
of Agriculture won three Champion
prizes, twenty-five first prizes, twelve
second prizes and twelve third prizes.
All these fat cattle have been re-
turned to Columbia and will be used
in the Short Winter Course in Agri-
culture which begins November 1,
1910.

THE CIRCUIT RIDER.

In Ralph .Connor's Beyond the
Marshes" the missionary is pictured
as sturdy man who rides great dis
tances over the prairie. The minister
in Taney county rides not over the
hills in hack or farm wagon-and he
also sometimes walks. During the
month of October the Bishop of
Taney County has ridden over hun
dred miles and walked across the
country over forty miles to attend to
his work.
Here is a description of one of his
trips. He had preached twice on Sab
bath at Forsyth, but he took the mail
hack that left Forsyth at six o'clock
on Monday morning and went to Chad
wick, 25 miles away. Chadwick is a
R. R. terminus, and has population
of 200, but has no regular church serv-
ices. The minister made several calls
in the afternoon and preached at night.
The house was crowded and the at
tention excellent. On Tuesday morn
ing he walked seven miles to see what
was doing" in the religious line at
Sparta. We have a church house
there and a good opening if we could
occupy the field. The minister re-
TUNED to Chadwick by train got his
dinner and returned on the afternoon
mail hack to Forsyth, arriving home
about eight o'clock.
On this trip two towns were visited,
a dozen calls made, one sermon preach
ed, fifty miles travelled Ey hack and
ten miles walked-it was done in two
days. Some people may call it bad
trip-but it paid, the people apprecia-
ted the minister's visit and sermon.

S. S. CONVENTION.

President Knepper was invited to
speak at the Sunday School conven-
ton held at the Flag school house on
the 10th of October. The weather
was perfect. The people turned out
so that the school house would not ac-
commodate them. The house is To-
Gated on one of the most slightly
places in the Hills. There, almost in
the shadow of Dewey Bald and with
the building of the School of the o.
arks in sight. though fifteen miles
away, was held a meeting of Christian
workers which for earnestness and SIM
pleness of purpose could hardly be ex-
celled.
The forenoon was taken up with
the usual work of the Sunday School.
Then followed a dinner under the
massive oaks in the school yard. The
menu contained fried chicken, and
pie and cake and bread and butter
and rolls and pickles and jellies and
canned fruits and more fried chicken,
so that when all did eat and were too
full to talk about it many baskets full
of left overs were gathered up.
The convention was called to order
under the trees in the school yard. A
platform and seats used on former oc-
casions were ready to accommodate all
who were present. The program was
varied and interesting. The little
folks had their first inning and gave a
very cre6itable 9ccouat Of themselves.
Prof. Kneppcf's address ioilowed
and this in turn was followed by ad-
dresses from Rev. E. L. Renick and
Mrs. Renick. Rev. Renick is the
J S. S. Missionary for this district. The

In reviewing the work of the cam
paign great credit should be given the
republican county organization. For
the first time in dozen years the next
roster of county officials will be solidly
republican. Chairman Jesse Nance
and Secretary Chas. Hr Groom have
labored faithfully with an eye solely to
the success OF the entire ticket. In
this they have had the hearty cooper
alton sof the committeeman, L. F.
Bearden, Jesse Oliver, T. F. Jennings,
Enoch Combs, B. F. Fitzpatrick, John
Burnett, ]. c. Mccarthy and Albert
Mannon. To them belong a large
share of the victory.

There are probably no two members
of county committee in the state
with any better record than those oi
Jesse Nance and Charles Groom oi
this place. Since 1888 they have
both been members of the republican
county central committee through
seven campaigns and in the years that
they were on the committee there
have been just seven democrats elect
ed to office. In the five other cam
paings since 1888 that they were not
on the committee there were nine
democrats elected to county Office,
and one year the entire democratic
ticket was elected. On the other hand
in the years that they were on the
committee the republicans scored three
complete victories. We believe that
this record will be hard to beat in any
county in the state.

WHAT WE SAID

While the campaign is over and we
probably should let bygones be by.
cones there is one thing we want tc
call attention to. In its effort to elect
few democratic county officials the
Taney County Democrat engaged in e
campaign of misrepresentation which
it kept up to the last. A few weeks
ago it charged that this paper had
said that the present republican Off
cials were crooked. To this we re-
piled that there was only one answer,
it's ie."
Last week the Democrat admitted
that We had not used the word crook.
ed" but said that we had said the
republican officials of the county were
not what should be and quoted from
our issue of May 19 in which the
words were used there are many
things in Taney county, which need
reforming, but the editor of this paper
will not undertake to reform them by
himself
Let US see in what connections these
words were used. In the issue of
May 5, under the head of Court
Comment that being circuit court
week, we commented on the abuse of
witnesses by some attorneys. In our
issue of May IL, our correspondent
complimented us on our stand on this
matter and asked US to go after some
other things, citing US to gambling
and boot-legging on Roark
In Our issue of May 10, to which
the Democrat refers, replying to our
correspondent we called attention to
the fact that newspaper could not
engage in too many fights unless it
had better support among the people
than this paper had. And it was in
thus commenting on the brow-beating
of Witnesses; gambling and the illegal
sale of liquor that we used the words,
there are lots of things in Taney
county lhat need reforming
The word republican" or county
official was not used in the entire
article. The editor of the Democrat
knew these things for he says he had
copy of issue of May 10, when he
wrote the article and it can be nothing
else than a deliberate attempt to mis-
represent this paper and the republi-
can officials OF this county.

The county court met in regular
quarterly session at the cffice of the
county clerk on Wednesday. They
are settling up with the road overseers
and transacting other business in con-
ne ction with their office. This will
be the last session of the present
court, as the newly elected officers will
take charge the first of January.

The Good Roads Proposition

l. liz oCO1 4>OdcS L ASEoSAkASA4
A move has been made by myself
and others to try to better little OF
the road in Taney county, and this
move seems practical and easy and it
must work and here it is: Most Of
the school houses in this county are
located next to the public road. Now
my idea is that each school this fall
and winter can, at play time, before
and after school, build at least one
hundred and fifty yards of good road
Immediately in front of the school
building, and then in making my visits
to the schools I shall look out the best
examples of this and have photo
grapher make pictures of these best
examples of these pieces of road and
have these pictures with description Of
the road, name of school and teacher
published in our county paper, and if
this is a hit, our editors agree to send
these pictures to a good magazine for
publication.
Then if we get one hundred and
fifty yards of road built this year and
that much more next year this will
soon count. Let's figure little, one
hundred and fifty yards of road for
each district, and seventy-four dis
tricts that would make about six and
one-fourth miles, or equal to the dis
tance from Forsyth to Taneyville, of
good road in one year and without the
cost of one cent to the county. This
will some time be a world wide move,
so to speak, and let's get busy and
push Taney county, and if you never
do more than just get the road in
front of your schaol house in good
shape, that will speak for itself all over
the county.
I am yours resptfully,
ALFRED A. KENNER,
County Superintendent.

Taney county is to be congratulated
upon the election of Duncan Camp
bell as presiding judge. He comes
to the office with large experience
and with no strings tied to him. He
has made but one promise and that is
to conduct the office to the best of
his ability for the benefit of the people
of the county. That is promise
that the Judge can and will live up to.

passed through the biennial political
campaign. and are still in the harness
in that unceasing campaign for bread
and butter, and happy should be the
man with comfortable home, low

to inspire him to make the grandest
efforts to be a success in the campaign
of life. Many are the campaigners in
Taney county and the many happy

addresses were listened to with wrapt
attention and appreciation. The
persons, having the opportunity to
minister to the spiritual needs of these
people are indeed fortunate. 1t is
the duty of the School of the Ozarks
to provide leadership from the younger
generation to pilot the way for these
earnest followers. The school under
stands its mission and is not negligent
to the trust given over to it.
