Clarksville Clay Loan
The Clarksvlle clay loan is generally
well drained and crops ON it mature
early. The organic matter content is
usually quite low. Cotton and corn are
the principal crops, cotton yielding about
onc-half bale per acre ON new land and
from one-third 10 three-fourths bale per
acre on old land, with applications of
100 to 200 pounds of low grade CONNER
cial fertilizers Corn Yields about 80
to 40 bushels per acre, and with the same
fertilization as cotton Yields up to 80
bushels per acre are obtained. Oats
yield from % to SO bushels and wheat

of vegetables, fruits, and berries do we'll.
Continuous cropping to cotton and corn
has reduced the productiveness of this

whooping Cough.

Whooping- cough is one OF the most
fatal Of the acute diseases affecting
children. The death-rate Is greater
than that from measles and scarlet
fever combined. It is caused by q
germ which is thrown froma patients
mouth or nostrils in the act of cough
ing. These germs may be thrown
directly into the room, where they
will mix with dust, when the sputum
dries, and be inhaled.
The prevention Of whooping- cough
may be accomplished by isolating the
infected child until the symptoms of
the disease disappear. This means UNI
til the child has stopped coughing for
at least two or three weeks. The PEI
riod OF isolation unnecessarily long be-
cause IL requires from one or two
weeks TO sometimes two or three
months for whooplng- cough to run
ita course.
During the period Of isolation, IL the
child 10 old enough, he should be

taught to cough into paper napkin;
otherwise the attendant should, when
ever possible, hold paper napkin in
front of coughing child. The quar-
ters occupied by the child should con-
tain as little furniture as possible
certainly no carpet-and should be
cleaned frequently. The clothing used
by the child and it's attendant should
be disinfected in five per cent. carbolic
acid before being placed in the general
washing. All handkerchiefs used by
the child and all excreta should be dis
infected. If strict quarantine could be
carried out, whooping- cough could be
practically eradicated. And quaran-
tine must be depended upon because
at this time no antitoxin or vaccine of
undoubted efficiency has been effect
ed.
The high death rate of whooping-
cough renders this disease one of the
most important of children's diseases,
so much that every parent should
take An interest in the disease and as
sist in its eradication.

Louis Houck.

From the Cape Girardeau Republic
can: "For the first time in third of
century Louis Houck is to day with
out railroad. The sale of his last
roads to the Byrd syndicate leaves
him without single road.
That Cape Girardeau is a railroad
town is due to Mr.. Houck, and that
Mr.. Houck has been railroad man is
due to Cape Girardeau, as it was
through the predicament his home
town was in that he became involved
in the strenuous life he has led for
thirty years in piercing the wilder
nesses of Southeast Missouri with
railroads that have developed an en-
pire, and that have taken the grit,
the brains and the energy of giant.
Mr.. Houck began his railroad career
in 1880, just ten years after the build
ing of the first railroad out of Cape
Girardeau, when the city and town
ship were in desperation because of
the burden that had fallen upon them
through the failure of the Cape Girar-
deau & State Line railroad.
Mr.. Houck assumed the work of
finishing the railroad out into the
Ozark country to the west, and short
ly afterwards began building other
lines through the jungles of the south
east corner of the state.
Only those who knew what that
country was in those days can appre-
ciate the great work he did, and the
passengers of the Frisco trains to-
day, seated in their comfortable
coaches, can not imagine what it
meant to get railroad through that
wilderness.
Some, of us can recall the Joy Of
that New Years morning in 1881,
when Mr.. Houck brought his first
train into Cape Girardeau. There
was great rejoicing on the part of the
people that the feat had been accom-
plished. But even then it was not
fully known under what difficulties
the work had been done, and we of
to-day know nothing of the hard
ships, the mental worry and the days
and nights of ceaseless toll and never
ending grief the building of that road
entailed.n

jefferson City Letter.

The correspondents of the Met
ropolitan papers are complaining be-
cause Governor Major is not good
"copy" produder. They are used to a
governor who daily grinds out yards
and yards of ''dope" for the newsboy,
exploiting himself and advertising his
own greatness. During Hadley's ad-
ministration the papers were full of
Herbert-his farm, his pigs, his dogs,
his brush h-clearings, his junkets, his
good road stunts, his discovery of the
Ozark mountains, his navigation of
the Current river, his notions and
whims and idiosyncrasies. In fact
Hadley didnot officially sneeze with
out the newsboys being on hand to
elaborately chronicle the event. But
Gov. Major and Gov. Hadley are two
wholly different propositions. Gov.
Hadley beat the tom-tom from the
hillside and footed his own horn from
the house top; Gov. Major was raised
under the old school of ethics that
holds self-praise to be half scandal.
The papers were continually full of
what Hadley was going to do; Gov.
Major prefers to act and let his deeds
speak for themselves. One Of Gov.
Hadley's daily stunts was to hand out
copy to the newspapers Gov. Major
thinks the business Of the Governor
is to attend to executive business of the
State. Therefore the newspaper cor
respondents are disappointed and the
people are pleased, You havn't seen
much in the papers about what Gov.
Major proposes to do; he doesn't send
special message to the House and
Senate every day debating them what
to do and what not to do. In fact he
is adhering to the constitutional doc
trine of the independence Of the leg
islature, executive and judicial depart
ments Of governments. His business,
Is to see that the laws are properly
dministered-it's up to the Legislature
to make the laws without executive
interference. His course may be a
disappointment to newspaper cores
pondents on the lookout for sensation
al "cQpy," but 1t is highly pleasing
and grAtifying to the people Of the
State, regardless Of party afflliation.
Missourians would do we'll TO with
hold criticism of the General Assembly
because Of It's alleged indifference to
good road legislation until the close
Of the session. The truth is, the leg

very much alive to the situation and

hair, while the hair will not be con-
cealed on the left side.
Although NJ Cne declares the right
style of hat willnot conceal woman's
eyes, he makes it plain that the hat
will fit too closely to permit the use of
it by by any woman with supera-
bundant, heavy growth of hair, and
the woman who hasswery little hair
will be able to laugh at the woman
who has a massive .egown of glory,'
for she can wear then pew hats more
nearly as they shoulds3e worn. Wo-
men who have lots of hair will have
to comb it down smoothly and roll it
as compactly as POSSIBLY at the back
Of the head, M. Cne asserts.
Large hats positively will not do
this spring, he declares, since the
season has been assigned to the small,
close fitting models exclusively. Big
decorations also are out of the run
ming, small imitation fruits and flowers
having taken their places for the time
being.
One of the popular styles will be
small hat with roll brim and a soft
crown of satin which will conform ex-
actly to the outlines of the head. The
wearer of this style may choose be-
tween a small fruit or flower decora-
tion in front and q little plume or
stick-up at the back of the head. One
form of ornament will be known as
the 'antennae,' because of its resem-
blance to the antennae or 'feelers' at
tached to the heads of certain insects
and lobsters-the kind of Holsters that
live in the ocean.
Brocaded crepe de chimes and flow
cred chiffons will be used extensively
for crown coverings, M. Cne says.
This affords another opportunity for
the introduction of something novel,
namely Bulgarian effects in coloring.
That means that reds, greens, blues,
yellows and other shades will be mix
ed into one blend, producing an army
of color allies which is expected to
march against the sense of vision
with noticeable results.
Aside from these features and hun
dred or two more which M. Cne hasn't
time to enumerate, the styles in milli-
merry this spring will be much like
those of year ago, prices included"
