State pride should prevent Mis-
souri, from not keeping in line with
other states of much less financia
ability. Wisconsin has built up a
Historical Society that is known
the world over for its invaluable
collection of historical material and
the state provided for it gand the
University Library n, adequat
fire-proof building. Missouri is a
much rich state than Wisconsin, has
a far richer history, andsa larger
population, and can care for its his
torical material as we'll as Wiscon-
sin and other states have done.

think. One good thing alter anoth-
er is Offered to the sjDCkm.l for mS
benefit This has been an eXcep.
tional year for these opportunities
and many OF Americas meat pro
ducers have seen and studied the
great marts from whence come the
ultimate demand for their product.
They have stood at the ringsi.le and
studied premier exhibitions of
their favorite breed These men
are making money and living well.
They are the up-to-date farmers of
every community. And yet they
all say they cannot learn and OBJ
serve enough.
These men are always in attend
ance at farmers meetings, to talk
with the big breeders. These basic
breeders. representatives of every
breed will be in attendance and
deliver lectures during Farmers
Week at the Agricultural College at
Columbia, Mo, January 1917, 1918.
How many Missouri farmers cannot
afford to be awake these to Ihings
at first hand? This year should see
more farmers at Missouri Farmers
Week to learn and preserve the
good things given them for practi
cal benefit than ever before.
More travelling means more
learning, and Farmers Week af-
fords most excellent opportunity
for this. 1t is the man with brains
and an insight into human nature
who inevitably succeeds, and no.
where can men mingle with a bet
ter class of men than during the
weeks convention at Columbia.
Your business may be slack and
a loss seems evident. The time and
study spent at Columbia during
Farmers Week may help to find
the cause for such condition. 1t
may be on this visit that you will
have a chance to meet some farm
er who has successfully solved the
very problem with which you are
now confronted. Missouri Farmers
Week is the clearing house for up
to-date, practical ideas, void of
theory. r
There is an actual shortage of
beef in the country. Threatened
with another hog cholera calamity
such as we had last year, the mat
ter of overcoming this shortage of
beef is to be thoroughly discussed
during the Week, not only by spec
ial takers. but in the meetings of
the Missouri Cattle Feeders Associ-
alton, which meets here at that
time, January 1917.

He has almost everything in the

If he doesn't make the mistake of
tin-canning too much in their en-

BRESNAHAN'S JOB MAY
BE HANDED TO HIGGINS

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 24.-The real reason
for the blocking of the deal sending Mil
Ter Higgins to Cincinnati, according to
well defined rumor existing here, Is the
desire Of Mrs. Helen Brttou, owner Of
the st. Louis Nationals, to have Higgins
eventually stay as manager Of the club.
Mrs. Britton also favors Higgins over
Bresnahan, believing that Bresnahan. with
the fine start he had last season, has not
made good this year She IS also re-
ported to be displeased because Of Rogers
intimacy with McGraw in the proposed
tour Of the world by the Giants. The
blocking Of the deal, it is said, was a
diplomatic hint to Bresnahan to sever his
connection with the club and allow Mrs.
Britton to negotiate with Huggins

by Manager Bill Schwartz it is
almost certain that the present
leader of the Volunteers will have
charge of the destinies of the team
again in 1913. The present season
has been far from successful in
every way, but the blame for this
can not be laid on the shoulders of
the manager. He has at last man
aged to get together a first-class
team and the fans are we'll salts

up in the scrap for first place.
' The chief cause of the failure of
the team to prove a winner is
thought to be the fact that 1t was
eXiled for several weeks at the first
of the season because of legal en-
tanglements which followed an at
