President Taft stated recently
that he favored the Canadian reci-
procity treaty for the reason the
trade agreement would reduce the
cost of living. At the same
time he stated II would not de-
crease the prices Of the farmers
products. We have always enter
tanned a very high regard for the
opinions OF President Taft, but
his argument on Canadian recipro-
city sounds too much like the
Democratic tariff utterances to
suit us. II the consumer can buy
farm products cheaper and the
farmer get just as much money
We will believe with the Democrat
that each and everyone can sell
what he has to sell high and buy
what he has 10 buy low. One looks
as reasonable as the other. We
live in Missouri and they have to
'show us" before we subscribe to

Money From Hogs on Forage

The Missouri Experiment Station
has just given out the results OF
an experiment lasting three years
which shows large profits from
feeding hogs on forage crops.
The average income per acre
from clover forage was s3i.ii, from
rape and oats s23.6s, from corn and
cowpeas s2s.os and from blue
grass $i7.7i.
The estimates are all made on
the basis OF 90 cents a bushel for
the corn fed and Q cents n pound
for the pork produced. The re-
suits are important as indicating
what may be accomplished when
the hogs themselves do all the
harvesting.
This bulletin, which Is numbered

Can Tell a Joker

The Republicans OF Carroll cour
ty, like those OF Charlton, both
neighbors OF Saline to the north
know a free-trade joker when they
see II and passed the following
resolutions last Saturday:
We. the Republican County Cen
tral Committee OF Carroll county
Mo-, In committee meeting assem-
bled, desire to express our disap-
proval OF the proposed Canadian
reciprocity agreement. We con-
slider II an unjust and unfair dis
elimination against the agricultur-
al interests OF the county for the
benefit OF few manufacturing in
dustrles. We believe that the pros
pcrity OF the whole country is
largely dependent upon the pros
perity OF the farmer, and that any
measure which Is detrimental to
the farmer will eventually bring
loss and failure to every branch OF
commerce and industry. Know
ing that II Is impossible for Con-
gress to enact any law which will
enable the consumer to buy food
and provisions ut low prices and
at the same time enable the pro-
ducer to receive high prices for
the same products, we denounce
the arguments Of the advocates OF
reciprocity as absurd and ridicu-
lous. Republican reciprocity as ad-
vocated by Blaine and Mckinley,
viz, free exchange OF noncom-
petitive articles, no more resem-
bles the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment than the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill resembles the Wilson-Gorman
tariff law, Therefore,
Be it resolved, That the Cana
dian reciprocity agreement Is not
a Republican measure, and is not
in harmony with the policies and
platforms OF the Republican party,
but that ii Is free trademeasure
which never fails to bring finan-
cial and industrial disaster to the
whole country.
h Resolved. That the great agri-
cultural interests OF the country
are entitled to the same degree OF
protection which they are willing
to accord to the manufacturing in
terests, and that any discrimina-
ton against the one in favor of
the other Is unjust and unfair, and
not in accord with Republican poll
cies.
Resolved. That copy of these
resolutions be sent to President
Taft, and a copy be furnished to
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat for
publication.

Died in Idaho.

The news OF the death of Mrs.
w. b. kincaid was received by
Mrs. C.. X. Scott last week. Mrs.
Kincaid and her husband moved
from Marshall TO Wallace, Idaho,
several years ago and have been
making their home with their
son, s. c. Kincaid. The deceased
was well known in Marshall and
was a devoted member OF the
Christian church here. Her many
friends here extend sympathy TO
the surviving children In their
sorrow.
The following is a clipping out
OF the Wallace Press-Times,
"The Press-Times regrets TO an
nounce the death of Mrs. w. Is.
Kincaid, who died at o'clock Fri
day morning, March IL, at the
home OF her son, Cherley c, Kin
caid, on Canyon Ave. Mrs. Kin
caid had been living with her son
for several years and was well
known In the district. She was
deeply interested In Christian work
and devoted much OF her time
to this service. She had lost
some OF her interest In life after
the death OF her husband, the com
panion OF SO years of her life. She
was a devoted wife and mother,
always sacrificing herself when
others were concerned. She has
always been frail but courageous.
Her health failed little by little
In the last year. She was always
subject to heart trouble.
Mrs. Kincaid was in her 18th
year, was the widow OF w. b. Kin
caid and IL is a remarkable COIN
cidence that both husband and
wife should have died at the same |
age and In the same sons house.
She was born In Carlisle, KY, on
May I, 1888 and was married to
w. b. Kincaid OF Middleton, XIV,
in 1859. She was the mother of
eight children OF whom seven sur

caid OF this city. Her son, George
died in Wallace in 1905. Her re-
mains were laid to rest beside
those of her husband in the Min
ers Union cemetery. A memorial
service was held at the Methodist
