Missouri Farmers Week.

The most progressive stockmen
are those who travel. read and
think. One good thing after
another is offered to the stock
man for his benefit. This has
been an exceptional year for
these opportunities, and many
Of Americas meat producers have
seen and studied the great marts
from whence come the ultimate
demand for their product. They
have stood at the ringside and
studied the premier exhibitions
of their favorite breed. These
men are making money and liv-
ing well. They are the up-to-
date farmers of every community
And yet they all say they can
not learn and observe enough.
These men are always in at
tendance at farmers meetings to
talk with the big breeders. These
basic breeders, representatives of
every breed, will be in atten-
dance and deliver lectures dur
ing Farmers Week at the Agri-
cultural College at Columbia
Mo, January 1917, 1913. How
many Missouri farmers cannot
afford to be awake to these
things at first hand This year
should see more farmers at Mis-
souri, Farmers Week to learn
and preserve the good things
given them for practical benefit
than ever before.
More travelling means more
learning, and Farmers Week
affords a most excellent oppor-
tunity for this. 1t is the man
with brains and an insight into
human nature who inevitably
succeeds, and nowhere can men
mihgle with a better class OF
men than during the weeks con
vention 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 a
condition. 1t may be on tins
visit that you will have a chance
10 meet some farmer who has
successfully solved the very
problem with which you are now
confronted. Missouri Farmers
Week is the clearing house fol-
up-to-date, practical IDEAS, void
of theory.
There is an actual shortage
of beef in the country. Threaten
ed as we are with another hog
cholera calamity such as we had
last year, the matter Of over
coming this shortage Of beef Is
to be thoroughly discussed dur
inc the week, not only by spec
ial takers, but in the meetings o
the Missouri Cattle Feeders AS
sociation, which meets here a
that time, January 1877.

WINS CLAIM IN
LONG HARD FIGHT
Court of Last Resort Gives

Rights on Land

Williston. N. D.. Jan. 31.-A deci-
sion has just been handed down by the
secretary Of the interior in a local
land case that has been hard fought
from the local Office to the court of
last resort. 1t was the case Of Walter

drawn from settlement for irrigation

legal ISSUES INVOLVED.

Fargo, N. D., Jan. 31.-After coun-
sci for the defense objected to certain
evidence which the plaintiff wished to
introduce in the action of S. r. Knight
against l.. b. Willard i'll which dam
ages are claimed for an automobile
engine. Judge Pollock dismissed the
jury until this morning in order that
he might look up the law on the ques-
tions involved.
The objections of counsel for the
defense involve legal technicalities and
most of the afternoon session of court
was k up in argument on whether
the evidence was to be introduced.
Knight claims in his action that he
purchased a quantity Of oil from the
defendant and that he used it in his
automobile engine which he says was
destroyed by the oil. He values the
engine at $3.50 and asks $3.50 as adj
ditional expense.

in favor of Carter. Bergstrom's at
