POOL GETS THERE.
The Centralia Courier Man Il
Chief Clerk of the House.

Jefferson City, Jan. 4.-Thel
'rOlled" Bill" Phelps in tn,
Democratic caucus tonight, beat
his candidate for cnlef clerk. y
l.. McCawley, 46 to % on the bal
lot. Kelly Poole of Boone county
got the place. The ballot was
written and secret by agreement
Both sides claimed great many
promises. Phelps said before thc
caucus that his candidate wound
win if there were not too many
liars in the caucus, but he indi.
Gated suspicion that there were
1t was not entirely a test OF
Phelps strength in this house be-
cause there were plenty of mem.
.bers who are not generally hostile
to him who were influenced by the
argument that it would not let
the former head lobbyist of the
railroads run this legislature
Mr.. Cawley had been the man who
delivered passes to the members
of the legislature in the old days
when Phelps controlled transpor-
tatiOn.
Some of the men most afraid
of me now" he said. "were
among the men who demanded
passes for themselves, their wives
and the relatives of their wives TO
the third and fourth generation
| told some of them ! had chase |
after passes for them all hours of
the night and they need not be
afraid of me now"
Poole is probably the strongest
man politically who has ever held
the Office OF chief clerk. Besides
the fear of Phelps he had behind
him the fact that his services on
the state committee had attracted
special attention among the Dem
ocrats Of the state.

CORN LIKE PEOPLE.
For Seed Doesn't Have to Be Bic
or Beautiful to Be Good.

Every Audrain county farmer
should read carefully the follow
ing, from n lecture given by Prof
Jourdan, of the Missouri Agricul
tural College. He says selecting
seed corn is a romance:
Most of you wait until spring
and when you get ready to plant
go to yonr crib and pick out what
appear TO be the best and soundest
ears. There is but one wors,
way, and that is to go to youl
neighbor S crib after night and
get it. Corn is a good deal like
folks, it don t have to be big OF
beautiful to be good.
"You don't know the story of a
single ear you select. One may
have grown on an inferior plans.
another may have been caught by
the frost and had its vitality i'm.
paired, and yet another may have
had something like this growing
close up to it.. Here the speaker
held up a twisted, diminutivc
honary nubbin and continued.
1.-The pollen from this may HAY G
fallen on and fertilized this. IN
that event there is one chance in
every two that the productive al
transmitting powers of the sound
ear have been impaired, as is the
case with scrub stock and scrub
people. no man on earth. as wise
as some of us think we are. could
tell by looking at the sound ear
Selecting seed corn in the
hurry of the huskin time is a
little better but still wrong. Ii
you are not willing to set apart
a half-acre breeding patch and
raise your seed corn scientifically
depOllenizing inferior plants, go
into your field about the middle of
September, when your corn has
matlired, and before the frost has
come, spend two or three days
selecting your seed corn.
Look at the stalk as well as
the ear and see that it is well root
ed, short jointed and with vigorous
leaf growth. Only healthy plants
can be good producers. and if
there is nubbin close by shun
that. Good seed are the first es-
sential on rich soil or poor"
