Missouri Notes

From the Lamar Democrat They
say a man not far from here is
thinking seriously of suing his
wife flor non-support.--- you
never saw a full grown man who
liked to do chores.---A pessi-
mist expects the worst, an optim-
list is sure OF the best-and very
seldom does either realize his ex-
pectation.---One man gets his
satisfaction out of talking about
the things he's going to have done
while another finds his in doing
them,---1t's hard for a man
to pose as a reformer In his own
town, the people there know too
many things on him.
A Howard county man who signs
himself "Me Too" writes this out
of his experience: "The full signi-
ficance of the labor saving mach
merry OF this day in up-to-date
methods, has stimulated the farm
er's mental abilities. The extend

mists are alarmed by the trend of
the people from the farm to the
city. II Is confidently asserted
that this spells severe injury, not
only for the rural communities

ed populations are creating new

A Congressman's View

Former Congressman Jno. /,
Wise, a most able lawyer, hits the
nail on the head in a letter to the
American Economist;
A recent visit of a week to
Washington made a deep impress
sion on me. Protection has moth
ing to hope for from Democracy
save as Democrats love to prof
it from Republican measures that
they dare not advocate. Whatever
is to come, it must come from
the Republican party.
OF that party, this ia my recent
observation. The old militant
leaders r nearly all dead
or discredited. The so-called In
surgents cen 10 have cunning
rather than able leaders with
broad views OF party policy and
definite purposes. ThA sdminis-
tration seems bound by no pre-.
cedent, TO take advice from No

Missouri Republicans are not
willing to profit by tricky poll
tics. They stand for great prin-
ciplcs, for faithful and efficient
public service, for honest politics,
for honest elections, for the very
best results in government. II
they cannot hold the confidence
of voters because OF faithful de-
votion to right principles and by
rendering good public service they
will MT try TO deceive the people
by political pretensions.

unnecessary clerk hire in the Of
fees of the State Auditor and the
Secretary of State were so inter-
mingled with necessary appropria-
tions that he could not veto them
without impairing the necessary
appropriations. OF course this
grouping of unnecessary with nee
essary items In the bill was a
scheme of Democratic leaders to
get around the veto of the Cover
nor, who can only cut out of an
appropriation bill a separate sec
ton. He cannot eliminate one item
in a section and leave the others
unimpaired. Under cover OF this
provision OF law Democratic State
officials have succeeded in grab
bing about $4,000 from the State
Treasury for the pay OF additional
clerks, several OF them needed but
most OF them absolutely unneces-
sary. State Treasurer Cowgirl gets
an extra clerk at $1,000 n year but
would have been contented to
have that item cut out IL neces-
sary to save the money to the
State. Treasurer Cowgirl is quite
different from other Democratic
State officials-quite different in
every way. He really needs an
additional clerk but Is willing to
worry along Without one II nee

HANDY KITCHEN CABINET
A StralnIng Bag.

A flannel straining bag is q neces
sity in any kitchen where jellies are
prepared. Instead of investing in an
expensive strainer, an excellent sub
stitute may be made of ordinary fan
mel. which should first of all be
hemmed neatly and then soaked and
wrung out in boiling water. When
it is used, 1t should be laid In
side large bowl and the fruit
or liquid Jelly poured into it. The
four ends of the flannel should then
be tied together and stick passed
through the knots. The bag can then
be suspended over bowl by means
of couple of chains and left to drain
slowly until all the liquid has passed
through. A blanket should be thrown
over the top In cold weather, so as to
prevent the jelly from setting too
soon.
