MULTIPLICATION Of Weeds.

To give some idea of how weeds
multiply it may be stated that a single
plant of pepper grass will produce 49,
coo seeds; dandellon. 10000; shepherds
purse. $1,000: wheat thief, 1000; COM
mon thistle, 5000; camomile, 10000;
ragweed. 5000; purslaine, $4,000;
plantain. 1900. and burdock, $4,000.
The Importance of not allowing a sin
gle weed to produce seed cannot be
urged too frequently. \ single hours
work in destroying weeds may save
weeks Of labor next season.

FARMS EAST AND WEST.
Comparative Cost Of Lands In the Two
Sections Discussed.

Sections Discussed.
In a letter to the New York Times a
correspondent wrote recently:
IF the Times really wants to know
why 1t is that western land-in
Iowa or Illinois-sells for 500 to 5000
an acre while plenty Of farms can be
bought in New York for $40 to $50 ap
acre. let II pay attention. The secret

say at the outset that with consider.
able familiarity with both west and
east I'd much prefer to buy eastern to
western lands.
"One point in favor of the western
farm is that, whereas a western farm.
properly handled will raise crops
which pay good interest on the in
vestment without fertilizer, great
many acres of land in the $40 and 500
belt are merely something to put pro
ductive sol on top of. The French
method of carrying the land away

connection with several cheap New
York farms.
Another thing-one can take an
eighty acre farm In the middle west
and plow every foot Of it, while there
are very few cheap farms in this sec
ton which can be cut up into fields
large enough to pay for using large
machinery. The result is that the east

cheap lands. must 'putter.' Now. the
right sort of puttering Is profitable
fruit berry and truck raising will
make moderately large fortunes for
diligent and capable men-but most
men don't like that sort Of business.
The middle westerner Is whole lot
happier with a four horse gang pillow
and harrow that wouldn't 60 be-
tween stumps In the east than he
would be on $40 an acre New York
farm. And he doesn't strike as many
stones in the course Of a season as the
New York farmer will in a day. The
American farmer hasn't lost his sense
Of the "bigness" Of the country yet.
and until he does lose it he will prefer
to work the large farm rather than the
small one. even If he gets no more for
his labor:
"Furthermore-andt this is not to be
ignored-around that high priced land
in the west will be found more intel
ligent. better educated body Of men.
taking them by and large than in
given number Of eastern farmers, be-
cause the factories and the other city
joys seem to lure much larger proper
ton Of the ambitious youth Of the east.
The city is so close to the farm that
the transition is but step. OF course
there are many Of the most intelligent
farmers Of the country here. but the
farmer with a desire for intellectual
associations-and some have twill
find less of this opportunity in the $40
and 500 localities than in the west.
Intelligent farmers, like men In other
professions. like intelligent companion
ship.
II am firmly convinced that the best
opportunities for agriculture lie within
few hundred miles Of New York city.
and my impression is that the best
way TO get the right sort of farmers
to go to this land and stay there Is TO
get a number Of this kind of men in
terested in one locality, thus insurin"
immunity from death by intellectual
starvation. 1t used TO be imagined
that a farmer couldn't starve in that
way, but we know better now"

Keep Girls Off the Streets.

This editorial from the Hanniba
Courier-Post is applicable TO many
another city:

children-especially girls of an i'm
pressionable age-are to be found on
the streets late at night
Girls of tender years are 10 be seen
upon the streets, when most people
have retired for the night, in com
pany with toughs, a few of whom are
to be found in any city. These girls.
many of them, will sooner or later be
caught in the meshes of that net which
ruins character and despoils woman
hood. Entirely too many young girls

whereabouts

parents in Hannibal who will allow
their daughters to leave home night

until midnight without even know
ing where they are or with whom they
are keeping company. These parents
should open their eyes before it is too
late to the evil that is sure to ensue.
1t would be a good thing for some
OF the parents of this city to keep in
closer touch with what their children
are doing, with whom they are keeping
company, and where and how they are
spending their evening. Nothing but
harm can result to the girl.
Parents, if your daughters are out
late at nights open your eyes to the

fact that You are responsible. When
ruined it will be too late for you or
them to make amends.

If there is city ordinance in Co.
lumbia against blockading the streets
with unattached vehicles, ii is dead
letter. Rows OF buggles and wagons
may be seen any day taking up space
in the streets which belongs to the
public. This is an imposition, unintcn-
tional though it doubtless is. On spe-
cial occasions, as. for instance, cir
Gus day, county fair. and the like, it is
eXcusable for livery stables to line the
streets with vehicles which it is i'm
possible to place within the barn, but
TO make permanent use OF the streets
for idle vehicles is an infringement
on the rights of the public The
streets are for the use OF all people.

LARGEST CIRCULATION
IN BOONE COUNTY.
MELVILLE w. FULLER.

A particularly noble characte
passed away on the nations birthday
when life went out from Melville W
Fuller Chief Justice of the Unite,
STATES Supreme Court. Not that hi
life had been distinguished by deed
which call for applause from the
world. Quite the contrary. His dis
tinguishing virtues were simply his de
votion to duty, his honesty of purpose
his sacrifice OF self in the service oil
the nation. He became eligible for re
tirement from the Supreme Bench q
number of years ago. but he preferred
to remain in active service
Melville W. Fuller was born in
Augusta, Maine, in 1893. He was ad.
mitted to the practice as lawyer in
1880. Like many another young law
yer of Augusta, Mr.. Fuller engaged
in journalism as means to bring
bread and butter while waiting for
clients and fame. He seems to have
been a success in both professions, but
in the end h, held to the law. and
in obedience to ambition he went to
Chicago to engage in a wider field of
opportunity. He took to politics nat
urally. not only, perhaps because poll
tics offered a means to fame and for
tune, but with motive deeper and
more commendable, that of purifying
the game in principles and in purpose.
Above all, Mr.. Fuller was in these
early days. as through life character
1zed by purity of purpose. by high
ideals in public life. His rise was steady
City attorney, member of legislature,
delegate to Democratic conventions,
and finally to be considered as presi-
dental possibility. And always he
stood for clean politics, for fair-dealing.
Mr.. Fuller was appointed Justice of
the United States Supreme Court bv
President Cleveland in 1883. He stood
third in rank of service as presiding
justice of the highest tribunal of the
American government. Justice Mar
shall presided over the court for
thirty-four years and Justice Tanev
for twenty-eight years.
1t was reported soon after Justice
Fuller became eligible for retirement
that he would be succeeded on the
bench by William H. Taft, but history
was not to be made that way.
Through Justice Fuller's influence.
power was extended to the President
to protect Federal Justices in the exc |
cutlon OF their duties when there was |
reason to believe their lives were in
danger. This power was exercised in
the case OF Justice Stephen J. Field,
whose life was threatened in California
by Judge Terry. An Arizona gun
hghter was appointed as a United
States marshal to guard Justice Field.
In the dining room OF the railroad
hotel at Lathrop, Judge Terry. a repre-
sentative of the dueling days of Cali
lornla, made a threatening motion on
addressing Justice Field. He was shot
n his tracks by Nagle, Justice Fields
,odyguard.

CHILDREN TAKE TO THE WATER
Art of Swimming Should be Taught to
Boys and Girls at Eariy Aue

Self protection demands that very
one require knowledge of the material
art at an early age.
Every boy and girl who is physically
fitted should be taught to swim. This
is a duty that rest upon the parents.
and they should early realize the i'm
portance OF ii. Swimming is diff
ticult accomplishment Indeed. it.
comes naturally to all normal children
and only needs encouragement and y
little cultivation at the start
1t is not true, OF course that all
victims OF boating and bathing acci-
detlts could be saved if they were
swimmers but it is a we'll known fact
that the good swimmers are rarely
ever drowned when thrown uneypect-
edly into the water. Aside from the
mere ability to keep atoat. a knowl-
edge of the art or science OF swimming
averts panic and gives the victim OF
an accident a good cool head and
III llilIIStII. rev swimmers
have the innate fear of the water
which fills other people with helpless
terror and makes il difficult if not i'm
possible to rescue them in time OF dan
ger. 1t frequently happens that one
who is thrown into the water might
save himself b. a few simple strokes. |
but the inability to take these strokes
results in death.
In some European countries swim |
ming is taught in theschools as a part |
OF the general system of education. |
We have not adopted this system to |
any general extent in this country. |
Children take naturally to the water. |
and if they learn TO swim in their early |
years they no longer harbor that blind
terror OF which causes so many de-
plorable and unnecessary Fatalities
