Has Not Hurt Crops.

T. c. Wilson, secretary of the
state board of agriculture, made
the following statement this morn
ing regarding the crop conditions
in Missouri and the dry weather
of the past two weeks.
The dry weather all over Mis-
souri,, which began two weeks ago,
has done far more good than harm
to the Missouri farmer. 1t has
saved the late corn and has mater
tally improved the condition of the
early corn. Grass and fall pastu-
rage have suffered in some locali-
ties, but the damage is nothing
serious.
Late sown wheat has not germi-
mated and grown as it would have
done had there been rains, but
this is not necessarily a seriously
damaging condition, for ! have
known very heavy crops of wheat
to be harvested from fields where
the fall sown seed did not even
sprout until Christmas.

Phelps and the Governorship.

Barney Finn makes the follow
ing comment in his Sarcoxie Rec
ord, on the Phelps gubernatotial
boom that seems to be forming
On the heels of the election re-
turns which showed Col. Phelps
elected to the legislature from this
legislative district by over 100
votes, comes the voice of the Webb
City Register booming Col. Phelps
for governor of the state. The
Register is strong in it's Democrat
cy, and the conversion of a normal
Republican majority of between
three and four hundred in this leg
islative district to a Democratic
majority of over 100, affords it am
pie excuse for becoming enthusiast
tic.
Col, Phelps, however, has been
elected on the strength of specific
promises made to the voters, and
to urge him for the Democratic
nomination for governor before he
has had a chance to perform these
promises is likely to have prema-
ture appearance to the more con-
servative thinkers. There is no

ture aroused feeling of distrust
among those who have known the
Carthage man only as an employee
of the railroad companies in the ca
pacity of lobbyist to the legislature
of the state. Had it not been for
this distrust, coupled with antag-
onism of those who saw in him an
enemy of prohibition, it is probab-
lie that his election to the legisla-
ture would have been nearly unan-
imous, for the legislative district
was practically without any repre-
sentative in the last few years.
1t will take time for Col. Phelps
to overcome this distrust. Even
his most enthusiastic friends must
recognize that fact. Faithful SER
vice of the people as legislator will
do much to remove it, and after
this faithful service has been rend-
cred, there will be time to talk of
the governorship.

Big Fire at Duenweg.

Duenweg, Nov, l6.-Nearly all
of the business section of Duenweg
burned early last Wednes day, the
fire starting about 80 o'clock in
the morning in a restaurant run by
Charles Conkey.
Seven business houses and two
residences were completely des-
troyed by the flames.
Duenweg has no fire department
of any description and as there
was high wind, the flames spread
rapidly, a Joplin chemical auto
arrived on the scene at 2 80 o clock
but the large fire automobile arriv-
ed too late to be of any assistance.
Two houses were blown up with
dynamite to prevent the spread Of
the flames and by this means the
opera house, which would other
wise have burned, was saved.
A great hole was blown in the
opera house and much damage
was done to that building.
All the property was only par
TALLY covered by insurance.
A conservative estimate places
the total loss at $4,000.

oZARKS ASDAIEY COUNTRY.
Bulletin of Missouri College of
Agriculture Shows Posi-
biIities of legion.

The Ozark region in southern
Missouri is land of opportunities
for the dairy farmers" says Prof.
c. F. Marbut of tie geology de-
partment of the university of Mis-
souri,. in a bulletin recently pub
lished by the college of agriculture.
Professor Marbut spent several
months in southern Missouri study
ing the soils of that section. His
report is called Research Bulletin
No. 8.
Cleanliness, he says, is a neces-
sity in producing good milk. The
Ozark region is one of the cleanest
and most healthful in the world,
because of good drainage and pure
water The drainageis due to the
presence of stones and gravel in
the soil, which prevents the ac-
emulation Of stagnant pools of
water, the ordinary cause Of dis
ease. Banks on the running
streams are not muddy as in prair.
lie countries.
Climate and water supply are
all the dairyman could hope to
find. Mild winters with much
sunshine add to the comfort and
health OF the cattle and lessen the
expense for shelter. Numerous
springs in all parts of the Ozark
furnish an abundance of pure
water.
Toe farmer in the Ozarks has no
trouble in getting his products on
the market, since the roads are
good at all times of the year. The
abundance of road building easy
and less than half the cost of SINH
lar roads elsewhere in the state.
In most places good roads may be
made by applying the proper
drainage. An abundance of gravel
prevents the muddy roads.
Dairy farming is profitable in the
Ozarks also because of the ease
with which leguminous crops are
grown. With proper care and at
tention, nearly all of the Ozatk
country will produce good crops
of clover and cowpeas and iairly
good crops of alfalfa. These make
excellent feed for dairy cattle.
The Ozark region is not only
adapted to dairy farming, but
fruit and poultry farming are like
wise profitable. Professor Mar
but tells in detail of the different
branches of farming which are
adapted to the Ozarks. A copy
of the bulletin may be obtained
free by writing to F. B. Mumford,
director of agricultural experiment
station, Columbia, Missouri.

Backward Children.

One of the best ways in the world
to pOpularize a piece of music is to
put it on the city hand organ. A
leading teacher noticing the effect of
this, saw the advantage of working a
similar process on backward children.
He procured good talking machine
and had records made of those things
which seemed hardest for the for
the children to learn. Then the in
terested and amused them by playing
these records, it was not long before
the lesson was so thoroughly impress
ed upon the young minds that it never
would be forgotten.
Now we find the talking machine is
being used extensively to teach for
for home work. II you want to get
lesson in German, French or Span
lsh, just buy a record containing that
lesson and you have the most perfect
reproduction of the natural tongue.
You can't go wrong in your pIonunci
alton; in this way the talking ma
chine takes the place of the place of
the greatest lecturers in the world.
Why do colleges and other educational
institutions have teachers and lectur-
ers? Everything they say can be read
in books, but there is something in
the natural voice which makes a deep
er, clearer and more lasting impress
sion on the human mind than you can
possibly get by reading book. With
the talking machine you get all the
effects of the human voice which is
the one reason why it is so very effec
tive as an instructor.

Page Fence Offers Free Sample

The Page Woven Wire Fence Com
pany, of Adrian, Michigan, is doing
a great business. The new Elan of
sending out actual samples showing
Page wire and the Page construction,
has attracted wide spread interest,
and we understand that this distribu-
ton of wire has had much to do with
the rceold- breaking sale of Page
Fence.
This wire is made of High Carbon
Basic Open Hearth Steel.
The samples sent out show the
famous Page Knot, known as '"The
Knot That Can't Come Off," This
kEot is different from that used on
any other wire fence, being wrapped
three times around the horizontal
wire in such a way that it is absolute
ly impossible for it to work loose or
come off.
The Page people have way of coil
ing the wire which gives remarkable
elasticity to the fence. Many stories
are told of strange things that have
happened which show the wonderful
elastic quality of Page Woven Wire
Fence.

The Horse Needs Care.

With the strong blasts of winter in
all parts of the country, even in the
South where it is only sharp chill,
the horse in every phase needs atten-
ton. The owner should guard against
exposure at night in the open air
against the winds; IN the buildings
against drafts; where the horse is at
work and is hitched to stand, against
sudden changes. In every case the
equine of all ages requires a tonic.

POULTRY BREEDERS MEETING

The usual monthly meeting of the
Poultry Breeders association took place
in Assembly hall, Chamber of Com
merce building, the evening of Feb
ruary "a. On account of the lengthy
meeting of the board of directors.
Madison Wright was asked to fill the
chair, and r. B. Hayes and L. r. Wal
ton entertained the audience with prac'
teal methods of conducting poultry
ranch. Mr.. Walton spoke on Philo
methods and stated how green cut
white clover had materially increased
fertility of eggs: his own method was
TO feed dry alfalfa meal with bran, or,
for change. wet with skim milk. and
that with the dry mash feed in hop
pers, and cracked corn one evening
and wheat the next, was practically all
thew seemed to need in the way of
feed to maintain a good egg record
with a high rate of fertility.
The directors having got through with
their work, the meeting then took up
business matters, with H. w. Gunston
in the chair. The minutes were read
and announcement of Mr.. Ironmong-
er's resignation as treasurer and Mr..
Harrison's appointment to fill the va

cancy. We understand Mr.. Ironmong-
err is leaving Los Angeles for several
months rest and all will regret the
loss of such an efficient officer.
r. b. Hayes announced a very in
teresting program which consumed the
balance of the evening. Chairman
Gunston ably assisted with his ma
tured knowledge, and the discussions
taken up by so many prominent breed
ers proved most entertaining. Some Of
the results follow:
In our climate moisture seems essen
tial in incubators. A good way with
hot-air machines is to place tins of wa
ter on lamp around burner.
Hens should be set on damp earth,
and set in separate compartments, keep
