While there is a considerable move
ment among our stock growers toward
improving their stock, there is not the
advance there should be in caring for
the stock. Too many cattle have to
rough it through the winter, and are
little more than skin and bones wien
grass comes. And il the summer gets
SO dry that the grass is cut short they
have another spell Of roughing i,
II few Of our farmers would build slos
they would surely find it profitable.
Their cattle would come though the
winter in better shape, and il drouth
cut the pasture short a little silage
will help over till the rain comes. But
the big gain with the silo is in dairying.
This is a line that may be said to have
received no attention in Taney county.
OF course there was no opportunity TO
do anything worth while before the
railroad came, but now the dairy, fruit
and poultry businesses offer great op'
portunltes, And for the dairyman the
silo is nearly equal to doubling the
size Of his herd. It reduces the cost
Of feeding and increases the milk flow.
It also lengthens the lactation period
ard enables the dairyman to produce
milk and butter lat nearly as cheaply
in winter as in summer. We hope to
see a Start made in this linc soon.

Boy Seed Corn Growers Wanted.

There is a great opportunity in sight
for the farm boys Of this country. 1t is
now generally known that corn yields
best in the locality in which the seed
was grown. This means that every
country neighborhood in Missouri is in
need OF a seed corn grower. Farmers
as a rule haven't time to devote to slch
work, and this is where the boys get
their chance. Everybody knows that
the boys who have joined corn clubs
are becoming the best corn growers in
America. They are growing more
corn per acre than anybody else, and
some Of them are already in the seed
corn business and getting from two to
three dollars a bushel for their corn.
In few years boys will be doing most
Of the seed corn business Of Missouri.
The Capper Boys Corn Club was
founded five years ago by Arthur Cap
per, publisher Of Missouri Ruralist.
Every year this corn club has corn
show and corn growing contest; and
membership in the club is free. Any.
body in this country who is not more
than 20 years old may become a mem
Der OF the club and take part in this
years contest if he will write his name,
age and address on q postal card and
mail it to Arthur Capper, the Capper
Boys Corn Club, l0l5 Central ST.,
Kansas City, Mo. This will not debar
him from participating in other corn
contest5.
The Missouri member OF the Cspper
boys club who does the best work with
an acre oil corn in 1912 will win $50
cash. The boy Who grows the best
ear from seed Of bis own raising gets
s2s. And the boy who grows the best
single ear Of corn will win $25. The
corn is to be sent to Arthur Cappel
before December 7, 1912, for exhib'
ition at the Capper boys corn show,
No seed is furnished, and the boys are
required 10 do all the work Of raising
their corn themselves.

Within an exceptionally short time
after being offered for public subscTip-
tion, the entire issue Of stock Of the

been purchased by eastern investors,
according to M. R. Bump, a repre-
sentative Of the Henry L. DohertY
company, the New York banking firm
interested in the building Of the dam

on White river. Mr.. Bump passed
through here yesterday on his way to
Joplin.
The quickness with which the stock
issue was subscribed demonstrates the
faith eastern investors have in the fu-
ture Of the Ozark country and a real
ization Of the possibilities Of developing
the water power Of its principal streams.
Mr.. Bump said that the public offering
OF 81, 100000 Of in stock was eagerly
bought by 500 different purchasers and
That twice that amount Of stock could
have been sold.

PAVING is
PRAISED BY
SAM HILL
PRESIDENT OF GOOD ROADS AS.
ISOLATION PRAISES WORK OF
CLARK & HENRY CONSTRUCTION
CO., WHICH is JUST BEGINNING
WORK HERE.

"Medford is the best paved city In
the west. Not only has 1t the most
paved streets for its size, but the quail
ity of the pavement is superior to that
in any city south of 1t" said Sam Hill,
president of the National Good Roads
association and foremost good roads
advocate in the nation, who arrived
Thursday evening in his automobile,
en- route home from the Pacific High
way meeting recently held at San
Francisco. He was accompanied by
Major H. L. Bowlby, former state
highway commissioner of Washington.
The foregoing is clipped from the
Medford Mail-Tribune of August 9th.
Judging from the article Mr.. Hill is
on his way north to his home in Mary
ville,' Washington and will have to
pass through Salem on his way. When
he arrives here we believe he will
have to go his Medford statement one
better and say that Salem is one Of
the best, If not the best paved city in
the west Not only are our streets
paved, but our alleys are paved as we'll
and the principal roads leading into
Salem are macadamized.
Seventeen miles of the Medford
streets which were praised by Mr..
Fill, were paved by the Clark & Hen
ry Construction Company of Eugene.
This is the company which is to lay
the paving on South Twelfth street
While it is just entering the paving
field in Salem, 1t feels that its work
in'such towns as Medford which elicit
praise from men like Hill, is the best
recommendation 1t can offer, and it
feels that It can uphold If not surpass
the high standard Of paving already
set in this city.

OFFICIALS

SMALL WAR BREAKS OUT BE.
TWEEN SECRETARY OF STATE
AND GENERAL - NO
FATALITIES TO DATE.

With the attorney-general's office
advising the secretary Of state to is
sue certificates Of Indebtedness for
payment of expenses incurred in de-
Tending the secretary of state in the
Oregon university case, and the sec
retary of state brushing the attorney
generals opinion aside and declining
to issue them, merry war broke out
between the two offices this morning,
and 1t begins to look now as though
the claimants in this case will have
to ask some one to present the matter
to the legislature In order to get their
money.
The last case of the University Of
Oregon was decided by the supreme
court some time ago, and shortly af-
tCrward the attorney general sent to
the secretary of state vouchers for ex-
penses incurred in defending him. AS
the appropriation for expenses in
Cured in litigation by the state is
practically exhausted the attorney
general advised the secretary of state
to issue certificates Of indebtedness
for the claims. Ignoring this advice
the secretary Of state returned the
vouchers with the statement that
there was no authority Of law for the
issuance Of the certificates of indebt-
edness for them.
Assistant Attorney-General Van
Winkle today returned the vouchers
together with a letter declaring that
the secretary of state is the proper Of
ficer to have custody of the bills and
that he is authorized by law to Issue
certificates of indebtedness for them.
Secretary Of State olcott, upon be-
Ing advised of II, declares that he is
not authorized by law TO Issue them,
and that when the time comes he will
issue a statement on the subject.
Further aggrayatlng the situation
and opening wider the breach between
the two officers is the return by the
secretary OF state of expense bills in-
Cured by the attorney-general in con-
demnlng some land for the state for
the penltentlary with the request that
he present them to the land board.
The assistant attorney-genera has re-
turned them to the secretary Of state
with a statement that he Is the proper
officer to file them with and that II
they are to be referred to the state
land board that 1t is jost as easy for
him to place them in the hands of the
board as for the attorney-generals Of
flee to do so.
III he wants me to go up and tote
these bills down and give them to the
board, then ! am willing to do so,"
was the only comment made by Olcott
on this case, but he will also probably
have more to say on this subject

MIGHT BE CALLED
TEMPEST IN TEAPOT

R. A. Brown, charged in justice
court with assault and battery on the
person Of c. M. Watson, was tried
yesterday afternoon before a jury and
acquitted The case was the second
one that has grown out Of fracas
which occurred last Saturday night at
the Brown residence at 4S5 South
Church street, where Mr. and Mrs,
Brown and Mrs. Mary McLane have
been residing. Mrs. McIane had oc-
cupied the premises alone up to about
the first of August, when Mr.. and
Mrs. Brown moved into the house,
having just been married. Mrs. Nc
Lane, who is a widow, has had the
care Of the daughter of c. NJ. Watson,
who was at the house Saturday night,
when the difficulty arose. Mrs. Nc
Lane and Mr.. Brown became engaged
in a wordy argument about the former
vacating the house, which grew to
such an extent that Brown forclbly
elected Mrs. McLane from the house,
Watson resented, which angered
Brown. An encounter followed be-
tween the complaining witness and
the bridegroom, which resulted badly
for the former, owing largely to his
advanced age an infirmity.
