edge of agriculture based upol
scientific principles and the Bank wa
most fortunate to secure his coopera
ton. MIR. Laughlin was the frs
president Of the Missouri State Corr
Growers Association.
Regarding the contest Wesley Den.
ton, cashier of the Peoples Bank said:
THE Peoples Bank is primarily the
friend of the farmer of Bates county
and anything tending toward his ad-
vancement is to our interests, and
our corn contest was inaugurated
with the end in view to increase and
better the production of corn in Bates
county.
Corn is one of the foremost
products of the county and while the
standard among cur farmers is high,
there is still room for Improvement,
and we knew of no better way in
which to lend our assistance to the
farmer than by helping him in prac-
tical way to increase his yearly yield.
Zone of the conditions of our con-
test was that the corn entered should
become the property of the bank, and
it is our intention to distribute the
corn exhibited to the farmers of Bates
county, to be used for seed corn.
Not an ear was entered in the contest
but is considerably above the average,
and l believe much superior to the
most of the seed corn now being
used. The entire 42O ears will re-
main on display at the bank through
out the winter, and in the spring will
be distributed free of charge to the
farmers of the county,"
The exhibition is we'll worth seeing
and the bank extends an invitation to
all to come in and look over the
entries.

Wrangle Over Motor Tags.

Jefferson City, Nov. 6.-Roy F.
Britton, president of the St. Louis
Automobile Club, and Cornelius
Roach, secretary of state. are in a
wrangle over the right of a dealer in
motor cars to issue pasteboard tags
for license plates he holds and place
the substitute on vehicles he has sold
in lieu of plates from the secretary.
Mr.. Britton contends that these PASTE
board tags suffice for licenses for fif-
teen days following the purchase Of a
machine.
Dealers pay SIG and obtain five L.
cense plates. One of these plates
may be used on a machine sold for
fifteen days before the owner is re-
quired to take out a license of his
own, but it appears that some of the
dealers use their own duplicates.
The secretary says he will prosecute
all such attractions Of the law and
that nothing. can be used on 4 vehicle
except the license plate issued by his
office.

Contest. Awards Made Friday.

One of the most important event.
to the farmer ever held in Bates
county was the Corn Contest, inaug-
urated by the Peoples Bank of this
city, which closed Wednesday No
vember /, 1911. Early in the season
the Bank announced that cash prizes
amounting to $35 would be offered as

Bates county being eligible to make
entry. The premiums were evenly
divided between white and yellow
corn, the first prize in each class be-
ing $40, the second prize, S., and the
third prize, $3.50.
Considerable interest was manifest
ed by corn growers throughout the
county, and the entries show that
much thought and care was given to
the selection of each exhibit.
The awards were made Friday,
November 3, E. E. Laughlin of Hume,
Mo }, acting as Judge.
T. J. Booth of Lone Oak township
was declared winner of the first prize

Uettlng the F8CtS.
When Congress covenes in Deem
Der the Democratic majority in the
House will be able to take up legisla-
tive matters with more intelligence
than any preceding Congress has
started its winters labor. The rea-
son for this is that various party
leaders, as well as many of the House
committees, have been conducting
investigations this summer, both pub
lie and private, into all sorts of mat
tiers with which Congress is con.
cerned. Get the facts" has been
slogan of those Democrats, and every
day they are ACCOMPLISHING information
which will be submitted to the House
as soon as Congress begins its next
session.

out question, has been tremend.
ously expensive one for Uncle Sam,
and hereafter, these leaders say,
the public purse is not going to be
opened until the requisition is en-
dorsed by facts sufficient to justify it.
In line with this policy Chairman
Fitzgerald, of the all important ap-
preparation committee, has been the
busiest man in the United States,
kuring the past summer, personally
investigating the various items which
later on will call for an expenditure
Of Uncle Sans good money.
A Lesson in Trusts.
The commissioner of corporations
has been delving into the history of
the tobacco trust. In 1885, one part
OF the trust, the Duke Sons company
was worth $25O,OOO. By the mere
process of joining the trust it swelled
to 81, 500, 600 and, later, was treated
to further dose of $22, OOO, 900 in
Securities" and learns" 10 per
cent on that. And in "a years the
Duke property, a $25O,OOO PROPOSE
ton, has earned" $39, 100000 or
1880 per cent. How long will the
American public stand for the game
of watered stock, industrial monopo-
ly, rising cost of living and CONNER
cialized politics?
Republicans in Despair.
President Taft's allusion to the de.
feat of his party next year was not at
all pleasing to Republican party lead
ers. Nothing discourages party so
much as the prospect Of defeat, and
for year past the Republican party
has been facing more prognostica-
tions of losing the next administra-
ton than any party in power ever re-
ceived. The effect is that the Re-
publicans have little encouragement
to work.
Business Men Against Taft
Independent business men of the
middle west and far west are at the
head of the anti-Taft movement, says
the Philadelphia North American IRE
publican.) These are the men who
understand that the fight against
special privilege and control of bust
ness and industry by the Morgan
Rockefeller financial combination of
Wall street is fight for the indepen-
dence of legitimate business.
Vetoes are Remembered.
The people of the middle west
greeted President Taft most cordially,
IS became good citizens, with the
mental reservation not to vote for a
second term to the man who has
arbitrarily exercised the veto power
against reasonable reduction of ex-
brilliant duties on their clothing and
,ther necessaries. y

These are the senti- 'ents OF Mrs. Iil-
Ian IIasbrouck concerning a recently
adopted ordinance which has drawn the
eyes OF the world to the West.
A canvass of New lork's Aldermen
revealed that OF eight unmarried mem
bers OF the board three were in favor
OF a bachelor tax and five against IL.
Five married Aldermen agreed as one
man that such an ordinance would be
deslra BILE in this city. Mrs. Hasbrouck,
author and clubwoman, went on record
without a IN hesitation as an
adversary Of UGH a measure. when her
opinion was asked.
But why would such a tax be IN
fair? asked her.
Tax Would BE Unfair.
"To tax bachelors would be, OF
course. in a much smaller degree-but
It would be Just as unfair as not per-
hitting women to vote replied Mrs.
Hasbrouck. why should a man anv
more than a woman pay a tax because
he Is unmarried? Taxation should not
be a matter Influenced by sex. That
Is one OF the points most OF the intelli-
gent people OF to-day are striving to
establish.
"If an ordinance OF the kind
adopted in Wisconsin were to be
adopted here IL ought In justice
20 AFFECT all unmarried persons,
not men alone.
THAT such an ordinance, however,
could not but be a travesty OF the
lay no ope who pauses TO think could
deny" continued Mrs. Hasbrouck. ITO
begin with. comparatively few persons
remain unmarried through choice. A
great n noble army OF young people
do not marry because % the financial
aid which 1t is necessary for them to
give their parents. Think what an
Insult added to injury the taxing o:
these young people would be. As I have
said. the average healthy. hearty and
SAM young mar or woman wishes 20
marry. Leave them alone and they
will eventually ind their mates and
live happily ever afterward.'
Some Not Born for Marriage.

lively small class composed OF men and
women Who were not born for marriage

What would be gained by forcing the
members oy this class into wedlock

not 20 marry and who only did so be

1T does not soun like n very secure

marked.
Mrs. Hasbrouck shrugged her shoul

1T IS all such utter nonsense" sh0
commented.

moving a man had married you
