ant secretary of the State Board of /
Agriculture, hoping it may prove of !
benefit to some reader:
Farming conditions throughout
about three-fourths of Missouri are
becoming somewhat serious because
of lack of rain. Nothing Is to be
gained by denying this fact 1t is
the coward who whistles as he goes
alone through a graveyard at dead
of night. The Missouri farmer is no
coward. Nor is he an ostrich, bury
ins his head in the sand and seek
ing in this stupid way to escape
danger.
On the farms of this splendid
state "a state where never yet has
there been a general crop failure -
are men ready to face every prob
lem and to put into practice the
most approved methods. In other
trying times they have kept going
kept a stiff upper lip and won If
comes the worst, the workers will
again win. If after our scare, come
the showers yes, and the "SoakerS"
- the stirred soil will prove the
wisdom of work in dry weather.
Corn in Missouri may yet be a
bumper crop The stand was new
er better and the fields never clean
er of weeds. Shallow cultivation
and dragging will, if kept up right
along, keep corn growing for some
time. There is magic in a dust
mulch and an old mower wheel
dragged between the corn rows may
be wheel of progress. Let us not
through neglect, suffer loss, but let
us keep the corn alive to the last.
Shallow, level cultivation is the
thing.
Do not sacrifice habitat live stock
at least not yet. BY all odds, hang
onto the COWS and sows-in fact, to
all the breeding stock. A further
live stock shortage is sure to mean
sky-rocket prices next spring. may
be next month certainly if rain
comes and pastures turn from
brown to green as they do so rapid
ly here in Missouri, land of blue
grass. While such good prices pre-
vail sell the stock that is ready and
get rid of the star boarders" that
you have kept too long. but keep
the good ones that will increase
their kind and bring you coupons
to clip,
The wheat is made. and while
the thresher has not yet told its
tale, it is certain that the yield will
mount far into the millions of BUSH
els. Save the straw. 1t will prove
valuable as feed and will 90 far
toward taking the place of oats and
e timothy.
Clover has been saved in the best
I shape. Many fields made record
yields and the quality is of the
best. Alfalfa fields are giving
abundant harvests.
Now with forage crops, for which
there is yet time, there need be no
serious shortage of feed, even with
r a further lack of rainfall.
Sorghum, cowpeaS, Kafr and
milo maize are timely crops. Wheat
ground or ground where oats failed
J may, unless very dry and hard, be
profitably seeded to cowpeas. New
Era or Whipporwill, or even mixed
peas, may do we'll. About one and
e one-fourth bushels per acre ofWhip-
= porwill or one buShel of New Ere
should be drilled in with wheat

DRUNKEN NEGRO

A negro giving his name as Fred

Falls City, Neb, was arrested last
night as he alighted from west-bound
passenger train No. 1O6 by Night
Marshal John Durham, who states the
negro was in a drunken condition. The
officer escorted the black to the CITY
bastile, and, as he was in the act of
opening the door the negro broke
away from him and ran. Officer Dur
ham gave chase to the fleeing negro,
and, in an endeavor to stop him. fired
his pistol, but the black only ran
faster. The officer overlook Sloan at
the rear of V. G. Craig's store and
had to resort to the use of a club be-
fore the black would consent to ac-
company the officer to the calaboose.
The negro was finally lodged in the
prison, and after considering the stu
alton about 80 minutes called the off

SENIORS MAKE HIT
With CLASS PLAY
THE AMERICAN CITIZEN"
is PRESENTED TO LARGE AND
APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCE BY
NORMAL STUDENTS.

In one of the best amateur perform
ances ever given here, the senior class
of the State Normal School pleased
large and enthusiastic audience at the
Grand theater last night. The play,
The American Citizen" was a we'll
known comedy in four acts and had a
good climax. James Davis, who took
the part of Carew, alias Cruger, was
one of the leading stars of the even
ing, while Miss Minnie Warren, as Be-
atrice Carew, also acquitted herself
admirably.@ Others who starred dur
ing the evening were Miss Leona Mad
dox, Miss Lee Jones, Irving Greer and
Burl Short. All the participants per-
formed their part well and the acting
was unusually free and natural, while
the enunciation was clear and could be
heard well in all parts of the house.
Good music was furnished by the
Grand orchestra. The fine scenery
and elegant costumes added much to
the rendering of the play, which GER
tainly reflects great credit upon the
senior class of the Normal, and was
probably the best entertainment ever
given by the school. The play was
rendered under the direction of Miss
Iris Hibbard, who deserves much
praise and congratulation for the sue
cess. The proceeds will be used to buy
a class memorial for the school, which
will be announced at a later occasion.
The cast was as follows:
Beresford Cruger afterwards Ca

The New Drug Consumer is a reader

AS far as drugs are concerned. the
average man of today has read more
about medicine in his magazine, or his
newspaper than the doctor of 20 years
ago learned in his lifetime. 1t may
be for the good or the ill of the race
that every man is becoming his own
physician, but the facts are, that at
the present day the man whom we

place in those elements which are di-

evolution in these arts has been more

in all the other centuries that have
gone before.
