Newspapers Should Get
Together.

The time has come when the news
papers of Missouri should get togeth-
er. A large per cent of them are not
only selling their space for less than
half the prices they ought to get but
are doing job work for public and pri-
vate institutions at starvation rates
because OF the every-fellow-for him
self policy that pre- walls too generally
over the state. Worse still, county
courts, city councils, school boards
and state legislatures take advantage
OF the fraternity's lack of organization
and in many cases treat publishers as
they would band of mendicants.
When newspaper men quit fighting
among themselves and organize for
mutual protection, as the doctors,
lawyers, dentists and other profession
al men have done, this disgraceful
situation will come to happy end
and the public will recognize the dig
nifty and rights of the press as an in
stitution. The Missouri Press Associa-
ton, bipartisan organization, is
going to make special effort along
these lines at it's convention at Pertle
Springs the week Of June %. All

A War Story, by T. p. Fitz.

In speaking about my birthday, May
I'd, | failed to mention how spent my
birthday May I'd, 1868. was attach
ed to Fitzhugh Lees brigade of
cavalry. We were guarding the Rap
pahannock ford, and on May 1st,
Hooker's army crossed over and ad-
vanced on Charlottesville, a small
village, Our cavalry retreated and
watched Hooker's movements, That
night about dark we were fixing to go
into camp near Todd's Tavern, and by
some means the Sth New York cavalry
met us in dense forest in very mar
row roadway. We we're marching by
twos or pairs. This New York cavalry
must have been lost. However, we
charged them and it was very dark. I
never saw pistol shots go so fast as
they went through this regiment, and
they fed toward Rappahannock river.
The next morning we rode over the
same ground andit was strewn with
dead yankees and rebels. This was
the first and only charge was in at
night. The next day, the I'd, the bat
tie of Chancellorsville was fought.
We occupied the left of Gen. Lees
army, and it was here that the immor-
tai Jackson fell, just fifty years ago.
1t was about twilight and you could
hardly see any persons to know them.
Gen. Lee, who called Stonewall jack
son his strong arm, ,once said he would
have won Gettysburg if Jackson had
been there. Be that as it may, the al
most uninterrupted victories of the
army of Northern Virginia ended when
jackson passed away.
Charlottesville marked the food
tide of the confederate arms. Two
months later came the battle of Gettys
burg, and from thence, in spite of all
their marvellous courage and tenacity
they were never invincible. Gen. ]. B
Stuart took his place and finished the
battle of Charlottesville, which was'a
great victory for Lee.
Some day viii write our march t.
Gettysburg.

Corn Cultivation.

The unusually dry May and early
part of June is testing our ability to
save soil moisture. Any excess we
had earlier in the season has long
since gone from all fields not properly
cultivated.
Cultivation that stops when weeds
are killed is not the kind of cultiva-
tion that produces the biggest yields.
The object of cultivation should be
the maintaining of a good physical
condition of the soil. Stirring the
soil once a week will prevent the
ground from losing moisture too
rapidly in dry time and will also ad-
NIT the proper amount of air in wet
seasons.
Soil so cultivated can be worked
sooner after a rain and in seasons
where one heavy rain follows another
the ability to get into the field a day
or two sooner may mean failure or
success. Our clay soils have a large
amount of expansion and contraction
due to wetting and drying. In soils
not properly cultivated this contrac-
tion is serious injury to the plant
roots and forms openings for the
moisture to escape.
This expansion and contraction is
as beneficial as the freezing and thaw-
ing of the soil in the northern part of
the corn belt and it must be properly
controlled.
Corn cultivation should continue as
long as the season will permit. If the
season remains dry after the usua
time of laying corn by, the double
shovel or other cultivator should be
used that can go between rows O.
corn.
Never stop cultivation while dry
weather lasts.

TOO MANY WHITE GLOVES.

SO far as has been reported the only
III result in Washington of the aban-
donment of the inaugural ball Is a
large overstock OF white kid gloves in
the shops, says an exchange. This Is
not a serious matter. In the course
of a winter a very large supply Of
white kid gloves must be
in Washington. and the fashions in
gloves. even for women. do not
change much from year to year. II
the shops were oversupplied with
readymade ball dresses Of approved
1913 patterns the shopkeepers would
command sympathy. But few wo.
men who have attended inaugural
balls have bought their gowns in
Washington, while a large proportion
of them have not worn ball dresses AT
all. but have Just worn their Sunday
clothes. as they do at social entertain.
ments Of an uncommon kind in their
home towns.
White gloves, to be sure. they have
always worn. and tho Washington
glove trade has profted largely. But
the gloves will keep. Those with %
buttons and those with a single ~, sn
can be kept clean and white without
expense and disposed Of according to
the demand. The shopkeepcrs who
are now selling off at m~arkcd-down
prices are the restless ones who arc
temperamentally unable to keep goods
