SUBJECT OF The STORY
At the Carnegie Library This
Afternoon

Of interest that is out of the ordi-
nary will be the story that will be told
to the children of the city at the story
hour at the Carnegie Library this at
ernoon at o'clock, when Miss Vir-
ginia Gum, the librarian, will tell %
the children the story of the invention
of the modern match.
In the course of this story will be
related the early efforts of primeval
people to obtain fire by various de-
vices, notable among which are the
kindling of fire by means of the rub
bling together of pieces of wood, a
method employed by the Indians and
other early races; also the use of
the flint steel and finder, which inn
nIediately preceded the invention of
lie modern match in which phosphor
Gus is employed.
The story as it has been condensed
and will be told to the children is one
that will interest every child in the
city, and a cordial invitation is extend
ed now, as always, to them to be pres
ent at the story hour exercises.

SIMPLE CURE FOR
DREAD HOG CHOLERA
Macon Man Gives 1t For What
Its Worth

Il noticed in the Times-Recorder
some time ago that there had been
some cases of hog cholera reported in
Sumter county," said Mr.. E. j. Willing
ham, of Macon, who is visiting his
daughter, Mrs Charles Council. That
recalled to my mind an incident that
much success in raising hogs, who had
been troubled with cholera, like all
hog raisers are at some time, and who
had ascertained a remedy that was
cheap, and, hec laimed, highly sue
cessful in either warding off the dis
ease or curing it.
This farmer had cholera among
his hogs one day when a tramp came
along. The fellow became interested
and told the farmer, who had treated
him kindly that there was a cheap
specific for cholera if he was willing
to try it. Naturally the farmer was,
DuC ue was much sui pl loSu "uCH INC
man told him to get a half ton of
cheap steam coal and throw it in Il
corner where the hogs could have ac-
cess to it at any time
while disinclined to adopt the
idea, which struck him as foolish, the
farmer finally decided that as il
would cost but SO or so, that it was
worth a trial He accordingly got a
half ton of soft steam coal and threw
it on the ground where the hogs
could get at it. They nosed around I,
bit off pieces of it, chewed it up and
swallowed it, and soon the cholera
was over.
The farmer told me this personally
and said he could not explain it, bat
the pitch or something else in the coal
seemed highly effective. l give it
for what it is worth. 1t wouldn't cost
muchto try it, anyway, absurd though
it may seem to hog raisers who spend
large sums trying to cure or prevent
this dread disease from carrying off
their hogs. Out of the mouths of bah IS
comes wisdom, you know, and this
claim as to the virtues of steam coal
may be we'll sustained by the expert
ence of others"

There isn't anything to this book
farming" said an old horny handed
farmer in Henry county TO his son who
had Just returned from taking the
short course" at the agricultural col
lege at Columbia a couple Of years
ago. well, there may not be, father,
but all I ask you to do is to let me
plant twenty acres Of corn this year
and handle it as l want to; and in the
meantime we'll handle yours in the
old way II you think that's best" With
a good deal Of reluctance the old gen.
tleman agreed to the arrangement. In
the fall Of 1910 the son averaged fifteen
bushels more to the acre on his twenty
acres than than the old gentleman did
on his and from that time to this he
has been friend Of the agricultural
college. The Missouri Farmer.

Primary Laws Defective.

Primary election laws are necessarily
crude, though the idea underlying
them is a good one. Under the pres
ent system in Missouri a candidate,
after fighting and paying his way to a
nomination is financially broken and
finds that he has created divisions in
his party that he cannot heal And
the voters are apt 10 nominate the
wrong man when five or six are candi'
dates for the same Office. Then, too,
the party committee, after the primary,
must take up the task Of task Of elect
ing men who have received less than
one-third Of the votes Of their party.
Our democratic brethren will have to
use vast quantities Of salve 10 heal
their wounds, and they will need TO
cultivate the graces Of charity and for
giveness very earnestly before voting
in November.
The present primary election law
was hastily drawn and rushed through
the Legislature by Gov. Folk 10 head
of the Bosses" 1t didn't hurt the
alleged bosses very much but in some
counties and in several cities it made
the work Of the bosses easier because
it made it possible to nominate candi'
dates who could not have obtained a
convention nomination. But that was
largely due to the failure Of voters to
participate in primary elections. There
is virtue in the law but it must be
used by the people else it will be
used for unholy purposes BY the So
called bosses. Since its first enact
ment it has been amended and some
what improved but it is still crude.
The man who succeeds in making it
more effective, less cumbersome and
more popular will be classed as a
statesman.

Agriculture for Girls.

The Missouri Women Farmers Club
believes girls should study agriculture
and has started movement TO interest
girls in the study-not merely caring
for flowers or managing vegetable
garden but real agriculture, involving
a knowledge Of soils, crops, livestock,
fruit, poultry and dairy products. In
order to start the movement the club
offers a S2S cash scolarship in the
short course in agriculture to the Mis-
sour woman over Is years Of age who
will write the best essay Of from $50
TO 800 words on the subject, Why
Women Should Study Agriculture"
This should pay one-hali the expense
incurred in one term Of the Two Year
Winter Course in Agriculture.
Every young woman who would like
10 take advantage Of this offer should
write iot a copy Of the rules governing
the contest to A. J. Meyer, Supt. Of

from within a radius OF more than six
miles OF the school house. II has been
demonstrated that the protection given
children in this manner during the
rainy seasons reduces the annual list
Of cases Of sickness among school

The consolidated school is doing
another commendable thing: it is fur
nishing a meeting place for the grown
ups as we'll as the children. Enter

from several districts come together
and discuss matters io' their common
good. The practical benefits derived
from these schools have so impressed
the farmers that not a man Of them
could be made 10 raise his voice against
them or oppose any measure resembling
a levy Tor their support, As matter
