vote ratified President Taft's notifica-

the treaty of 1882.

over Russian discrimination against
the Jews of America.
The resolution was adopted at 7:19

Everybody is Talking About The
St. Louis Republic

And indeed there is something to
talk about. Where there's smoke
there's fire. Things are happening
at The Republic. Its new editor,
Horatio W. Seymour, has his own
ideas about making newspaper
And Republic readers seem to think
they are pretty good ideas, too. They
are tickled with the crisp, spicy little
paragraphs of editorial. comment
which appear each day; they are de-
lighted with the good, sound, militant
Democracy old-fashioned, Jeffer-
sonian Democracy-and the merciless
exposure of Republican fallacies and
misrule; they are laughing over the
caricatures and funlnaking cartoons;
they are interested in the stories of
strange, novel things that happen in
everyday life and recognize the
superior manner in which the news
in general is given; they are pleased
with the new dress The Republic is
wearing-clearer type and more open
lines.
The enlarged size of The Republic,
its enlarged staff of writer's, its en-
largcd facilities for obtaining and
printing the news and the liveliest
and best editorial page in the Missis-
sippi Valley are making The St. Louis
Republic the most talked Of, the most
interesting and the cheapest news
paper, value considered, to be had by
the residents of Missouri and contig-
uous territory.

Farmers, Attention!

Haven't you felt the need of book
which would give you the latest in
formation on the planting and raising
of Corn, Wheat, Oats, Alfalfa, Cow
peas, etc.-which would give you the
latest thought about the breeding,
feeding and care of Cattle, Hogs,
Horses, Mules and Sheep?-which
would tell you how to cure and pre-
vent live stock diseases? Such a
book is the Missouri Farmers Hand
Book which is a handsomely bound
and printed volume of between 800
and 400 pages. Besides the above
chapters which are by the leading
experts in the U. S. it also tells you
how to build up the soil of run
down farm, how to make money out
of the Dairy business, how to keep
your hogs from becoming infected
with cholera, how to care for fruit
trees, how to prevent typhoid fever,
tuberculosis, malaria, and how to
keep your premises sanitary and free
from disease, how to keep your stock
from getting killed by lightning, how
to cure Poultry diseases and many
other things which space forbids our
mentioning. This great book, the
greatest compendium of Agricultural
and Live Stock information ever Of
fered to the farmers of Missouri, was
compiled by Geo. B. Ellis, Ex-Sec'y
of the Mo. State Board of Agriculture
and Managing editor of the Missouri
Farmer and Breeder-Missouri's
greatest farm and stock journal which
is published at Columbia, the home
of Missouri's famous Agricultural
College and whose mission is to bring
the farmers Of this state into closer
touch with this great institution. No
thinking farmer should be without it.

Bates County Poultry People.

Don't be afraid to exhibit at the dis.
trict show. You have just as good
as Fulton, and don't depend on out.
siders to fill up this show. Fulton
did not have an exhibitor outside the
state of Missouri and very few out
side Fulton. Bring at least three or
four of your best birds, more if you
can. Be very careful to watch for
disqualifying points. At 15c or Csc
entry fee it is a good cheap lesson to
have bird disqualified but entry fee
at this show is SOC per bird.
Coops are furnished free. Don't
forget that all entries close on We'd
nesday, December q. Be sure and
watch that date and we will profit by
Fulton's mistake of not advertising
that fact better as many birds came
there too late to be entered. We will
have an information and bulletin
board at show room. Don't be
afraid to ask questions and find out
what and when.
This show is brought here for an
educational purpose and if you fail to
profit it will be your loss.
Every afternoon at some place to be
selected there will be a lecture and
picture show. Mr.. Quisenberry has
many beautiful as we'll as instructive
slides. Everything is free except ban
quet tickets which are Is cents per
plate and everyone invited to come
and enjoy good supper and better
speakers. We expect to have one of
our best times at this banquet. The
Presbyterian ladies' will serve the
and the money goes to them.
B. Sahmkow has just announced
that he will give handsome silver
loving cup for the best pen of five or
more marketable chickens.
If | can assist you in any way will
oe glad to do so. Phone $40.

He LassOed a Gasoline Barrel.

Roswell, N. M.-While a bakery at
Clovis was burning, cowboys nerve
and accuracy in throwing the lasso
prevented the destruction of the sur
rounding buildings and probably
saved the lives of a number ofpeople.
He rode his broncho up to within
forty feet of the blazing building, las
seed barrel of gasolene and dragged
it from the burning structure.
The front of the building had been
destroyed and the barrel containing
gasolene was in plain view. Sudden
ly the cowboy jabbed the spurs into
the sides of his mount released the
rope from his saddle and threw it
around the barrel dragging it to safety.

Explains Gantt's Position.

Jefferson City, NO., Dec. 18.-At.
torney General Major stated today
that the report concerning his ap-
pointment of former Chief Justice
James B. Can't to a position i'll his
department was misleading.
He said that he employed Judge
CAN'T as special counsel to assist the
state in but two cases, one suit in
the Federal court against the State
Superintendent, in which Judge
CAN'T represented the state, the other
in the proceedings against thirty-five
lumber companies charged with vio-
lating the antitrust laws.
The suit in the Federal Court has
been disposed of, but the suit against
the lumber companies is not yet
ready to submit to the Supreme
Court, although the state has con-
cluded taking testimony.
Although the returns from tha last
general election showed that Judge
CAN'T was defeated by a small lead
for reelection to the Supreme Court,
and he has since instituted contest
proceedings, it was not presumed
here that his defeat on the face of the
returns, or the proceedings he insti-
tuted, would prevent him from max
ing a living practicing law.
