Ry-Products of Fnrninr.

By-PrOducts of Farming.
From the Pittsburgh Post
A Wisconsin farmer presents to the
public an explanation of the waste
on farms, which is interesting and
not without Importance. In his coun-
ty dairy products are the staple,
though nearly every farmer does
other farming. For instance. prac-
tically every farmer has O small
orchard yielding him more fruit than
he can use himself. So the farmer
uses what he can, but the surplus is
not sufficient to pay for shipping.
The barrels cost too much bought at
retail.
II, myself" he says, have tried
shipping in years past, but | had to
give 1t up or acknowledge that I was
a philanthropist. OF course. I gave
1t up. Others have made the expert
ment and make 1t no longer. The
apples now rot where they are"
Nor does this commentator fail to
suggest remedy. He says: IF the
surplus apples were collected by
man who made a business of it,
manufactured his own barrels and
owned besides a cider mill and a fac
tory for turning out apple butter,
the apple industry would pay. The
same principle might be applied by
the same man to saving of garden
truck, whose sole use is now to fer
tilize the soil. Almost every farmer
has his garden patch; he uses what
he can, gives away as much as pos
sible and allows the rest to go to
waste. Why, l tell you. it fairly
makes one sick to drive through my
county and see the. stuff rotting on
the vines. The farmer isn't blind he
knows the, waste Is appalling, but he
is powerless, and he will never be
able to help the people in the cities
until some scheme is hit upon for
collecting and handling this waste in
an economic manner. We. farmers
talked about cooperative plant at
one time, but we were busy with other
things and no progress was made.
We were willing to raise all sorts of
commodities; we didn't apparently,
like to undertake the distributive
problem, and there you are"

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM
THE. EXCHANGES

lamps of recent pattern are quite too
bright; they blind and confuse both
horse and driver; they practically
force the smaller vehicle to a tempo
rary standstill beside the road. On
the other hand. many of the low
power lanterns on horse-d drawn
vehicles are of little value from be-
hind. If designed to throw their light
forward, they place it where hidden
by the vehicle itself. Their rearward
red light Is so small and so dark as
to be of little use. AS for that, the
rear lamps of many motor cars, what
with crust on the wick and smoke on
the glass, are as fit for blame as the
house lamp that the buyer returned,
saying it did not give light enough to
turn it out by

Boys Plan Farm High school.

From the Baltimore Evening Sun.
Ten country boys have formulated
plans for an agricultural high school
near Glencoe, Baltimore county; have
selected as their. site the Dread prop
erty, on which they have an option,
and have enlisted aid of Clifford
Pinchot in a campaign to raise $780,,
900.
The boys are graduates of the high
school at Sparks, Md. They are all
hustlers and they believe that if
every country lad had received the
training they obtained there would be
no country life problem.
They have selected as their princi-
pal b. II. Crocheron one of the fac
ulty of the, University of California,
and he Is coming here to help them
to establish their ideal school,

The MiddIc-Aeed stenographer.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
1t is discovered in New York that
there is time limit in the business
world for women no less than for men.
The woman most Disseminated
against is the middle-aged steno-
grapher. One of these aged forty. has
written to the papers to ask why ex-
perienced and able and still energetic
and ambitious, she cannot get and
hold a satisfactory position.
Employers have been interviewed
One and all they resent the imputa-
ton that the choice of young women
for stenographic positions is inf1u-
enced by pretty face or by personal
charm. Fresh, keen senses and adapt
ability to modern methods were given
as the determining factors.
The hope for the middle-aged wom-
an stenographer would seem to be in
gradually getting such a grip on the
details of a business-or some depart
ment of it-as will make her useful,
and even Indispensable, in something
beyond mere typewriting. This might
be difficult in a large office, but not
impossible in a small one, where the
personal element has greater play.

From the Army and Navy Journal.
The proposition is under oonsidera-
ton for a change in the conditions
for admission to West Point. 1t Is
not proposed to lower the standards
of admission, but to admit any
designated candidate who mas passed
without conditions the entrance ex-
aminations to a university or college
the standing of which is satisfactory
to the academic board. tits also pro-
posed to admit those who have passed
what is known as the American col
lege board examinations without con-
ditions, provided in both cases that
the mathematical standard is equal
to that required for admission to
West Point. OF course, such candi-
dates will be subject to the same
physical examination as others. 1t
is believed that this is a step for
ward, as it will enable young men
who are preparing for college to go
on and complete their education if
they should have failed to secure an
appointment to West Point. They
can thus prepare for college and for
West Point at the same time and
this plan will put West Point in line
to secure some of the brightest young
men who are seeking a higher edu-
cation. Not only will it decrease the
number of vacancies at the academy,
but it is the general belief that young
men selected from those prepared for
college will have broader education
and are less liable to fail If they
should enter the academy. At the
same time this change viii not pre-
vent young men from taking spe-
cial course of study for West Point.

Lights ON Vehicles.

From the Boston Herald,
In calling for the enforcement Of
the State law that requires vehicles
to carry lights after dark the presi-
dent of the Massachusetts State
Automobile Association is performing
plain duty. He is not asking a
favor for a class; he is working for
the safety Of all that use the high
ways.
Both the motorists and the drivers
of slower vehicles find their chief pro-
lection, of course, in the long glare of
the headlights. 1t warns the driver
of the buggy or wagon before it re-
veals him to the driver of the motor
car This rushing illumination is now
as strong as it need be- indeed, some

A Christmas Gift

Christmas is drawing near and
what is more valued than a nice
photo well finished up in an up-to-
date style. Everybody wants baby's
picture and we like to make pictures
they are so cute. We know the
children would dearly love to have
"a natural photo of father and
mother. Don't put these matters
off, have the sittings made now
before the December rush, and
considering the uncertainty of life
after while it may be too late to
get them made at all. Our prices
are very low, quality considered.
Until Dec. 1, 1913 we will give a
nice premium with every dozen
cabinet photos or larger. The
Harris Studio, successor to j. G.
Gardner, Brookfeld, phone $40.

Mrs. Eunice Burke entertained
Chapter R, P. E. o. on the after
noon of November IL. The busi-
ness Of the afternoon was most
satisfactorily transacted. More
plans for the P. E. O. bazaar were
perfected. The lesson on pottery,
led by Mrs. Bigger, was much en-
joyed, as was the exhibit by the
hostess. During the social hour a
most delicious luncheon was served.
AS departing time drew nigh, two
future B. I. LIS appeared With
automobiles and drove the members

The Budget, in rather sensa-
tional way, announced last Tues
day that suit had been instituted
in the circuit court at BrOokfield
returnable to the February term,
1914, by Harriet L. Myers. plain
tiff, against Rev. w. G.. Atwood, i,
defendant, wherein plaintiff asks
damages in the sum of $4,000,
charging indignities. The plain
tiff is a daughter of Fl. G. Myers,
editor Of the Budget. In a two
column article the Budget gives
the plaintiffs side of the story.
1t is charged that Rev. Atwood
called at the Budget Office
in April, 1912, to leave some church
notes. 1t is charged that he found
Miss Myers alone in the office and
after sitting down by her side and
jollying her a little he kissed her,
or attempted to, and then hurried
ly left the Office. When called to
account by the young lady's father,
it#is stated in the Budget, the
minister promised to resign and
leave town and as he had not car
ried out that agreement the suit
was fled.

In New Location

The Benson Banking Company
have moved to their new location
in the corner room of the Benson
building just completed. Their
handsome and commodious quart
ers have all the conveniences of a
modern banking house. 1t is
marvel of neatness both as to
building and furnishings and
would not suffer from comparison
with any like institution in this
part of the state. The tile floor,
large vault, the neatly furnished
business room in the rear, all go
to impress one with the careful
management and strict business
methods that the Benson Bros.
inject into all their undertakings.
The Benson building is the largest
and most substantial Improvement
made in Laclede for many years.

COUNTY JUDGES UNDER FIRE
Custer Proceedings Against VIII
kersOn and Sturtevant

stituted last week by Prosecuting
Attorney Burns against Judges
Wilkerson and Sturtevant. The
case will be on the December
docket Of the Linn county circuit
court. The case is the outgrowth
of certain charges made against the
two members of the county court
by the press of the county. The
judges are openly charged with
having pulled off certain deals con-
stituting malfeasance in office.
The charges against Wilkerson,
omitting caption and preamble of
petition are as follows:
That on said 21st day OF. of.August,
1913, said John F. Wilkerson as
Judge Of the county court of Linn
county, Missouri, did then and
there willfully, unlawfully, fraudu-
lentIy and corruptly purchase and
buy from Linn county, Missouri,
certain hogs, and did then and
there willfully and unlawfully,
take and carry away said hogs from
the county farm and infrmary
property of Linn county, Missouri,
and did on the 9th day of October,
1918, pay to the county treasurer
of Linn county, Missouri, the sum
of $41 so finally completing said
unlawful contract.
The next charge against Wilker-
son, stripped of legal verbiage, is
to the effect that on the 3rd day of
February, 1918, while acting as
county Judge, did sell certain hay
to Linn county being represented
by said Wilkerson to be of measure
and weight of fifteen tons but
actually amounting to seven or
eight tons, and for this seven or
eight tons of hay he collected from
the county $117 so.
Another charge against Wilker-
son is that ON the 3rd day of
February, while acting as county
Judge, did sell two calves belong
ing to said Lima county to Robert
Allen for $35. .0O but represented to
the duly authorized officers of the
county that he received for said
calves only $3.50 and paid that
amount into the county treasury
thereby embezzling the amount of
$2.5 so from the county.
Another charge against Wilker-
son is that he sWiped the county
coal house valued at $4,000, moved
it to his residence property and
converted it to his own use; and
that he without authority removed
the cement walk from around the
old court house and placed it on
his residence property and convert
it to his private use without re-
embursing the county in any way.
The cement walk is valued at
$4,000.
The petition against Judge
Sturtevant alleges that he was in
on the hog deal but paid $107 into
the county treasury for the hogs he
from the county infrmary
to his home; that he, as county
Judge, consented to the removal of
the coal house and cement walk
and was generally in cahoots with
Wilkerson.
The case promises to be the most
one to be called for
hearing at the December term of
court at Linneus.
