The writer, and no doubt many
readers Of this article, has heard the
statement that each toad on farm
is worth several dollars a season to
the land owner. It is difficult to
place an exact value on any particu-

learning more and more to appre-

Many farmers pay little attention to
the trees until time for the harvest,

before the bonds fall due, in fact be-
fore half the time is past, the capitol
will have been built aud paid for and
the state will no. have a bond out
standing. On the contrary it will
collect interest and also put in its own
treasury the balance Of the sinking
fund. And when the bonds finally
do become due and payable the state
will have its palatial capitol. long be-
fore paid for and in use, and it will
have on hand plenty OF money to build
another and a still better capitol
and it will not have single bond
unpaid that was issued to build the

Hurrah for Missouri!
OF course the Sentinel, being in
Kansas, thinks it funny, but if the
''ancient landmark what edits that
sheet" wishes to know how to eat
his cake and still have a good taste
left for long time, come over,
Missouri can show YOU.
Here j. what the Morgan County
REPUBLICAN said about it in issue of
Feby. 9th, and had suggested the
same way out some time previous,
but haven't time to hunt it up.
While we do not claim any particular
credit, yet we want to show our read
ers that our suggestio MS are on the
progressive line and that we are al
ways willing to help the "boys" out
OF a scrape, whether they are Demo-
Gratis, Standpatters, etc. We have
advocated many plans for city i'm
provement, and suggestions for better
things in city and county, taken up
and discussed by a verstile writer in
the Statesman Of week before last
and all will come true in the course
OF time, then remember The Morgan
County REPUBLICANS:
"WHAT's THE MATTER WITH Mis-
sOURI?'

against it on her bonds, or rather VI
against the money trust, 3 1-2 pc

report because Judge William Wal
lace Of Kansas City has not been able
to appear before the committee.
Judge Wallace is supporter of the
Hawkins local option bill, which is a
bill not worth talking about, and has
wished to attack the Hay county unit
bill, which is an effective measure.
Senator Casey will insist that If his
committee is forced to report, its re-
port will be adverse to the Hay bill.
Senator Buford will then move Il at
the bill be placed on the calendar,
despite the action OF the committee
and Mr.. Pallen predicts that the Bu-
ford motion will be lost by vote Of
II to 13, thus killing the county unit
bill in committee.
Mr.. Pallen tells us in his dispatch,
which has gone unchallenged three
days, despite the gravity of the
charge, that members OF the Senate
are going to run away from voting on
the measure, thereby enabling the
, Budweiser statesmen to kill it.
Senator Bronson is going home
whenever the county unit bill is due
to be voted on. He has a number
of law cases that demand his attention
at this convenient moment and he
won't be in Jefferson City when the
people of the State want him there.
despite the fact that they pay HIM
salary to represent them as a senator.
Senator Hawkins OF Green County
also has a number of law cases that
call him home at convenient mo-
ment and he won't be there to vote, =,
though he will draw his salary out of
the Missouri treasury just as if he had
been present when needed.
Senator Feaster, a physician, will
hear that lot of his home people are
sick and needing his services and he
plans to be away. though the taxpay-
ers Of Missouri pay him to be present.
And while the men who (presum.
, ably represent their constituents in
, the country districts are away the
7 Budweiser statesmen will be on the
job doing the bidding Of the brewer
