Sanction has been requested by
the Contest Committee of the st.
Louis Automobile Manufactures and
Dealers Association for a reliability
run from st. Louis to Kansas City
and return August 8, 8, 10 and IL.
1t is believed that the run in point
of number of entrants will be the
most important ever held out of st.
Louis. One of the stops will be in
this city,
The Contest Committee, which con-
sists of John H. Phillips of the Phil
lips Automobile Company, W. B. Few
ell of the Odds Motor Works and A.
C. Webb of the Webb Motor Fire
Apparatus Company will issue entry
blanks in a few days and will start
a car over the route to prepare a
log of the roads to be followed,
which is know as the North road to
Kansas City, and it is probable that
a Doris car will be the pathfinder.
Arrangements are now under way
with the Automobile Dealers Associa
ton of Kansas City and the Motor
Trades Association to join in the re-
liability run. The st. Louis contin'
gent will drive from st. Louis to Kar
sas City in two days, August s and

w. L. Nelson, assistant secretary
of the State Board of Agriculture, re-
fuses to forecast the State crop
report, which issues Saturday, but
prepared this following statement on
crop conditions:
That conditions are serious is evil
dent to all, but the farmer who quits
blowing when drouth threatens his
fields may be likened to the pioneer
who stopped blowing a fire guard
about his home when forest fires or
burning prairie grass imperiled his
place.
The present dry spell recalls the
10O-day drouth of ten years ago., but
Missouri farmers are better farmers
learned some valuable lessons then
and they have been learning ever
since-learning how to save the
moisture, and what is almost as i'm
portant, becoming better acquainted
with the value Of such crops as al
falfa, sorghum, kaffir corn,
soy beans and cowpeas. These are
crops that require but little moisture
or are valuable as catch crops"
Then there is the growing popular
ity Of the silo. If there are districts
where eorn has been burned up,
there is yet time, provided rain
comes at once, to plant qulck-matur-
ing corn and fill the silos-the farm
er's concentrated winter pastures.
Straw Is fine and should be saved.
Probably 1t would pay to bale much
of It. Then rye can be sown for fall
pasture.
The drought Of 1901 is generally
reckoned as dating from April IS to
July "a. In April there was only a
slight trace OF rain at Columbia. May
showed .35 Of an inch; June 1.23
inches, and July up TO the twenty
seventh 1.79 inches. Up to June 20
OF that year the weather was gener-
ally cool, but some awful weather
followed, 100 degrees being recorded
at many places, and at Marble Hill
all records were shattered when the
thermometers recorded 116 degrees
That year the corn yield for the
state was 80 bushels per acre-less
than two barrels. to put 1t in Mis-
souri, measure, but it's the next year
we want to keep in mind. In 1902
the lori yield for the state was ever
40 ~bushels-S barrels-per acre, with
many fields averaging twice that
The total yield of corn also broke
all records with 307, 1854, 900 bushels
The wheat crop, too, was a wonder
-61, GAS, 900 bushels, putting 1901
and 1902 together, but little, if any
loss is shown.
In 1901 the condition of corn OF
July l was 60 but havoc was wrough
in July and by the end Of the montt
condition had fallen to 81. During
August it made a gain of 6 points
but most Of it was too far gone u
mend much. The wheat yield Il
1901 was about 10000, 900 bushels
with an average yield Of Is bushels
Only July 1 of that year the condi
ton of oats was AS, and only 50 pc
cent Of the crop sown was harvested
The condition Of pastures on July
1901, was As, and by August J. z
per cent of the stock cattle had bee
: shipped out of the State. Some arm
ers sold their breeding stock 10

The Eagles defeated the Elks in
the base ball game played Thursday
afternoon on the Mo. M. A. diamond.
The score was 6 to 4. Both teams
played a good game, but the Eagles
seemed to have had the strongest
batteries.
Morris. of Centralia, twirled for
the Elks. Hape, of this city,
pitched for the Eagles. The latter
team also had the Marshall boys
in their lineup, which gave them
some superiority.
The Elks. however, gave the
Eagles a warm tussle and kept the
score of their opponents down to a
low notch.

Audraiu's coal output for the year
1910 amounted to 34,546 tons. This
is a gain of 1910 tons over the pre-
vious year, when the county pro-
nounced 1885 tons. Audrain ranked
about twelfth in 1910.
Macon has the largest tonnage,
though this county shows a slump in
1910, when it produced 610,166 tons;
in 1909, s16,0S6 tons.
George Bartholomaues. secretary Of
the State Bureau of Mines and Mine
Inspection, compiled these figures
relative to the coal output Of Mis-
souri,.
The total tonnage of coal mined
in the State for the year 1909 was
3,S50,74S tons, and for 1910 it was
2,S09, 215, showing a net loss for
1910 of 1,o41,215. This falling off
was due to the suspension of work
in the coal mines during the strike
of 1910, the mines having been idle
from that cause for five and a half
months.
A summary of the statistics given
out by Secretary Bartholomaues
shows the following:
Number of counties producing coal,
thirty-five; number of shipping coal,
113; number of mines in local trade,
only $50; total number of mines in
operation. 26S; number of miners
employed, 1909; number Of other
employees underground, 1880; mum
Der OF other employees above ground,
s95; total number of employees in
coal mines, 1924; number of ami
mails used in and about the mines,
61G;number OF kegs of powder con-
sumed, 1926; total tonnage of coal
produced. 2,sO9, 215; total number OF

The University of Pennsylvania at
its commencement exercises re-
Gently conferred the degree OF Doc
tor of Philosophy upon Joseph w.
Barley of Montgomery City. Mr..
Barley earned this degree by spec
ial work In English Literature and
English Philology. He wrote his the
sis upon ''The Morality Motive in
Contemporary English Drama" Pro-
lessor Barley is a member OF the
Hardin College faculty.
Tw~enty-eight persons beside Mr..
Barley received the degree Of Doc
tor Of Philosophy. Altogether Sc
students took degrees from the
Graduate School OF the University,
the remainder receiving the de-
grees of Master Of Arts and Master
Of Science. Twelve of these persons
were women. Six Chinese students
and one Japanese student received
their masters degrees.
The total number Of graduates
from the University in all depart.
ments this year was more than $50.
In an address before the faculty Of
Missouri University, this week, John
R. Kirk. head Of the Kirksville
State Normal School. said he consid.
cred final school examinations a rel
ic OF past ages. He was in favor
OF their adjustment.
Never be content with the recita-
tive and re-~iterative method of teach
ing" said Professor Kirk. Make a
perpetual question mark Of every
student that is being taught. Good
teaching keeps those taught. seeing
things, hearing things, thinking
things. Say what you think ana ac-
knowledge what you don't and can't
think. Have the pupils do the same
way. Rejoice in unlocked for inter
pretations, rather than make them
interpret as you want them to or as
the textbook saws"
