township was called for last Saturday

consider it his duty to see that all cat
tie driven into or through Swan town.
ship are examined for fever ticks, and
if ticks are found, see that the cattle
are quarantined, and we will do all in
our power to eradicate the fever ticks
from our county.

pointed to examine any cattle that
might be suspected of carrying fever
ticks: w. P. Clark, Ollie Douglas

Ozarks as a Dairy Country

The Ozark region in Southern
Missouri is land of opportunities for
the dairy farmer" says Prof. c. F.
Marbut of the Geology department of
the University of Missouri, in bulle-
tin recently published by the College
of Agriculture, Professor Marbut spent
several months in southern Missouri
studying the soils of that section. His
His report is called Research Bulletin
No. 8.
Cleanliness, he says, is necessity
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
drainage is due to the presence of
stone and gravel. in the sol, which
prevents the accumulation of stagnant
pools of water, the ordinary cause of
disease. Banks on the running
streams are not muddy as in prairie
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 cattle
and lessen the expense for shelter.
Numerous springs in all parts of the
Ozarks furnish an abundance of pure
water.
The farmer in the Ozarks has no
trouble in getting his products to mar
ket, since the roads are good at all
times of the year. The abundance of
road material makes road building easy
and less than half the cost of similar
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 attention, nearly
all of the Ozark country will produce
good crops of clover and cowpeas and
fairly good alfalfa. These make ex-
cellent feed for dairv cattle.
The Ozark region is not only adapt
ed to dairy farming, but fruit and
poultry farming are likewise profitable.
Professor MaIbut 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, Mo.

Missouri Republican

The St. Louis Republic, the organ
of the state democracy, announced
Tuesday morning that the entire re-
publican state ticket is elected. The
Republic gives the republican candi-
dates these pluralities:
Brown over CAN'T for supreme
judge, 2,495.
Kennish over Timmonds for su-
preme Judge, short term, 4,8O2.
Wightman over Bradbury for rail-
road commissioner. 2,e15.
Evans over Gass for superintendent
of schools, ia.
Ten counties are missing on all the
candidates except for supreme court
long term. These counties are Atchi-
son, Barry, Christian, Hickory, Holt,
Mcdonald, Butler, Oregon and Scott.
Of these counties the statement is
made that they do not hold out
much hope ror any democratic nomi-
nees." One reason that they hold
out such little hope to the democrats
is that their combined vote on CAN'T
and Brown gives Brown 1886 plural
ity. 1t is safe to add that much to
the Wightman and Kennish figures
and possibly 100 votes less to the ma
jority for Evans. That would give
Kennish 6;400 plurality and Evans
1000 or more.
In these figures unofficial returns for
Kansas City and St. Louis are used
because the official count has not
been finished in either city.

An Event That is Twice Yearly Eagerly Awaited by Thousands of People the Great Inventory Sale
 at Wise, Smith & Co.'S.

Twice every year since the big de- partment store of Wise, Smith @ Go. i, Hartford. opened it's doors the firm has held determined stock reducing sale just before taking inventory in order to bring the vats stocks of mar- chandise to proper level consistent with the immense business done by Oonneoticut's greatest department store, thus lessening to large degree the labor of taking stock. '' This mammoth sale is 8 legitimacy mer- chandizing effort, with but one thought uppermost, viz to reduce stock quickly, and with this object in view Wise, Smith & Go. mark the prices down on everything from base ment to roof in their vast establish ment, excepting very few and unim- portant articles, which restrictions of the manufacturers prevent the cutting of the price. Aside from these few articles, possibly a dozen in all you I'll find everything on every shelf, on every counter, on every table and every rack, in fact everything in the store at suoh a mark down price as to make the ordinary bargain sale look tame indeed.
