Major Doesn't Read Papers.

Jefferson City, do not read the
fiuenced in my effort to carry out the
trust the people have placed in my
hands" said Gov. Elliott W. Major,
addressing newspaper men and others
attending journalism week at the Uni
versity of Missouri at Columbia
THE insurance companies maintain
a press agent publicity bureau, and
they are sending much matter to Mis-
souri, newspapers in the belief that
papers mold public opinion, and in
the hope that some, at least, of the
things that they send the papers will
be printed. Newspapers are not SOL
idly behind the insurance companies,
and even now the insurance COM
panies are breaking ranks. | have
ignored newspapers and gone ahead
in an effort to act on my own opin-
ions, rather than those of the news
papers. Newspapers are inconsistent.
They praise one day and denounce
the next"
Gov. Major declared himself a
friend of education, and said he would
rather serve the state four years in
the field of education than as gov
ernor, so far as honor was concerned.
At noon he raised the United States
flag en- the new 100-foot fiagpole near
the S. S. Laws observatory.
journalism week ended with a ham
banquet.
The making of humorous columns
is an important industry in the United
States said S. L. kiser, humorist on
a Chicago paper, in an address to the
editors. "All you have to do is to
write down what you see and tell
what you think about it, The humor-
Gus column is put on the editorial
page to attract attention and thus en-
able the editors to mold opinion"

Adrianople has so. often been sub
ject to battle, murder and sudden
death that its latest capture by the
Balkan allies will seem but one more
familiar chapter in its annals. Eight
cen hundred years ago it was taken
by Emperor Hadrian from the Resi-
tribe. In 323 1t was the scene of a
battle between Constantine and Lii
cinius. and here Emperor Valeus made
his great stand against the Goths. In
1905, Baldwin, emperor of Constants
nople, was defeated. made prisoner,
and killed by the Bulgarian Car Kalo'
yam, and finally the city was taken by
Murad J., and became the Turkish
capital and continued so until the fall
of Constantinople in 1853.

Would Abolish soaras.

Jefferson Citv.-That tie power OF
hiring teachers should be taken from
the board of directors Of rural public
schools and the appointment Of teach
ers be placed in the hands OF the
county superintendent, was the state
ment made by w j. Hawkins, presi.
dent Of the Warensburg Normal
school, in an address before the coun-
ty school superintendent He de-
clared the next legislature would be
asked to make this change.
Hawkins suggestion was perhaps
the most daring ever advanced in a
teachers meeting in Missouri. Super
intendent hardly knew whether to ap-
plaud the suggestion or not.
w T. Darlington of Springfield de-
clared that what is needed is better
rural school teachers. He stressed
professional training and better equip
ment generally for the work.
The superintendents adopted reso-
lutions in favor of a constitutional
amendment which will fix higher
maximum restrictions on the rates of
taxation for school purposes. One
trouble with the rural schools Of Mis-.
souri, lies in the fact that too many
districts vote the minimum levy of 40
cents on the 500 valuation and thus
are unable to maintain school for
more than four or five months in a
year, it is argued. The maximum for
country districts is Go cents. BY vot-
ing this amount any weak district can
receive 800 from the state for teach
er's salary.
The superintendent complimenteC
the last Legislature, Gov. Major and
the superintendent of public schools
for their work in the interest of the
new school laws. They also thanked
the newspapers of the state for their
services in the cause of school better
ment.

ject to mildew. The removal OF the
flowers and prevention OF seed pots
lengthens the blooming period.
The pansy is a favorite with all,
but is not so easily grown as some
OF the ANIMALS. For early bloom the
seed should be sown in the fall in
beds and transplanted to pots as win
ter approaches. 1t the spring these
little plants may be set in beds and
will bloom in profusion early in the
summer. Except in the far north IL
is possible to winter the plants by
leaving in outdoor beds and covering
with mulch, which should be raked
off in the spring. Seed sown in rich
soil in July will produce blooming
plants for the fall months.
The best of the annual climbers
are Moonfower. Morning Glory, Cy-
press. Canary-Bird flower and Doll
chos. Moonflower seed should be
soaked in warm water over night, and
the seed of all should be sown in
boxes and later transplanted in rich
soil when It is warm

MEANS TO PREVENT
EGG-EATlNG HABIT
Fowls That Are Given Free Range
Usually Find Plenty OF
Employment.

One of the most annoying things the
poultryman has to contend with is the
egg-eating hen 1t is usually sup.
posed to be caused by the hen GRAY
ing some element that is contained in
her ration, but | hardly think this is
correct. | believe the lack of food
and idleness is the cause, says a writ
er in the Farm Progress.
But no matter what the cause, it is
a good idea to use means to prevent
the hens from forming the habit, for
prevention is always the cheapest
cure. If the nests are placed at a
height that will prevent the hens
standing on the ground and reaching
into them, the danger of eggeating
will be lessened; for il nests are
made so small that the hens cannot
stand erect in them, they will not eat
the eggs, for the hen demands some
comfort while making her meal.
! once noticed a number of China
eggs lying around the floor of poul-
try house, and, upon asking the keep
er the reason, was informed that this
was the plan to prevent the egg-eat-
ing habit.
II will be very seldom that the hens
will contract the habit IL they are
kept busy. Hens that are given free
range usually find plenty of employ.
ment, but those that are confined
should be given plenty of litter with
grain scattered through IT, that they
may be kept working all the time
through the day.
When a number of the flock con
tract the habit it will take consid
cradle effort to break them, hence the
necessity of taking all means to pre-
vent the practice. When only one or
two of the hens have learned the
habit 1t is best 10 dispose OF them
unless very valuable.

MISSOURI CROPS TO BEAT ALL
RECORDS, PREDICTS WILLIAM
HiRTH OF COLUMBIA.
ONE MORE RAIN is NEEDED
Former Value Of Crops at Two Hun.
dred Million Will Be Passed
sees Great Benefit in County
Farm Advisers Employed.

Jefferson City-That Missouri will
enjoy the most prosperous year in its
history is the opinion of William
Hir,h of Columbia, Mo-, president of
the Missouri Federation of CONNER
clal Clubs. He said that the wheat
crop would be the largest on record,
while the corn crop was never started
under more favorable conditions.
MIR. Hirth said in his travels he had
not seen bad field. while some were
better dhan others. according to the
fertility of the soil. Another rain or
two. he prophesied, would bring mil
lions of dollars into the pockets of
Missouri farmers.
IF We get enough rain we will
smash last years record by a good
margin" said Mr.. Hirth, land that
was valued at 100000. However,
dry weather no longer is the terror to
the farmers that it used to be. Our
farmers, following the advice of our
state agricultural college, are cult
waiting often and not so deep as for
merly. by which means the ground
withstands twice as much dry
weather
THE fruit yield this year should be
a record-breaker. Live stock also is
in n splendid condition. Farmers are
beginning to realize that it is more
profitable to sell their feed in the
shape of fat beef, pork and mutton
rather than to accept the current mar
ket price for It.
Missouri farmers are up with the
procession. We have more county
farm advisers employed in Missouri
than any other state. In Pettis coun-
~ the boosters club is casting about
for an assistant to Sam Jordan, the
supervisor of the county"
Throughout the state, wherever a
county adviser has been employed, ac-
Cording TO Mr.. Hirth, much benefit
has resulted, and he predicts with
the development of the millions of
acres in the Ozarks that Missouri will
be foremost in dairy as well as other
products.
I'm From Missouri" buttons are

central secretary of the Missouri Fed
GRAFTON of Commercial Clubs, at 81

SoucIs resources.

Breakfast for Laying Hens.

There is nothing to excel vegetables
for breakfast for the laying hens.
Baked potatoes, mashed. and corn
meal, and just enough skimmilk to
make a stiff mush is the best kind OF
ration. Also boiled potatoes, onions,
cabbage, squash, carrots, or, In fact
anything in the vegetable line. They
supply just the nourishmen; necessary
for the general health and vitality OF

Jefferson City.--After considering 1t
for several weeks and thoroughly in
vestiglting the case, the state board
of rardons and paroles refused the
application of former Methodist Min
lister Clyde Cow for a pardon.
The entry made on the records of
the board reads; we will not recon-
mend clemency in this case at this
time"
In it's investigation the board sent
its chairman, r. B. Noel, to Elsberry,
Lincoln county, the scene of the
crime, and it was largely on his re-
port that the action stated was taken.
Cow came to the prison May %,
1911 under sentence of four years for
manslaughter in the second degree for
having caused an Illegal operation to
be performed upon Miss Elizabeth
Gleason, a teacher, which caused her
death.
lie was pastor of a Methodist
church at Elsberry, and the promi-
nence of all implicated in the crime
made II a very sensational case. Miss
Gleason was a granddaughter OF the
founder of Elsberry.
Before his trial in the civil courts
he was tried by the ecclesiastical
court of his church. found guilty by a
majority of one vote, and was un-
froCked.
Under the three-fourths rule Cows
term will expire May 22, 1914, so that
he has few days more than year
to serve. He will receive the full
benefit OF the law, as he has been
model prisoner.
Re is employed as a nurse in the
prison hospital and spends as much
OF his spare time as possible in the
library. as he has taken up the study
of law since coming here.
The papers and letters in the case
are very voluminous and many promi-
nent people over the state have writ
ten the board asking elemency for
Cow.
He came from an old family in the
western part of the state. and the
bulk Of these letters are from that
section.
