ADVANCED TYPE" MINISTER
A frail little woman stood in Judge
Baldwin's courtroom yesterday and
was granted divorce from a minis
ter of the gospel because her testi-
mony that he had beaten and abused
her and their three children had been
sustained.
The husband was the Rev. Paul
Jordan Smith, pastor of the Chicago
Lawn Congregational Church. He
was known as a very deep, spiritual
man and he ruled his flock with an
iron hand.
The woman is plain woman. She
had married him in Chattanooga ten
years ago, while he was still a stu
dent of theology. He was of the ad-
Vanced type. He wanted to study.
But he had no money. So the woman.
who loved him went out to work that
he might attend a university.
Then the couple came to Chicago,
Three children came and the little
woman was very happy. But the do
mesticity of it all grated on)the ambi-
uon-torn young minister. His intel
lectual appearance had given him a
train of admirers. They assured him
he should be leader of mankind. And
when he came home he imagined he
was in chains-tied to a woman,
whom he called domestic" "a wo-
man whom he imagined dragged.
He grew restless and then angry.
He ended up by beating the woman;
then they separated; he to go on to
his glory; she to go on and raise
the children.
The end came yesterday. She was
granted divorce. $500 alimony and
the children. He has resigned his
pastorate. No one seems to know
where he is.

the corn intended for silage. The
Missouri College of Agriculture gives
the following directions for filling
silos. The best practice to follow
is to allow the ear to mature as
much as possible and at the same
time retain enough moisture in the
plant to allow the corn to pack
well in the silo. In some sections
the corn will have to be cut when
in the late milk stage. In ether
sections the rain probably will re-
vive the corn so that it can be per-
mitted to stand in the field and be-
come more mature. Where a good
water supply is available the corn
can be cut later than otherwise and
wet as it is being put in the silo by
turning a stream of water in the
blower However, it is not wise to
depend too much upon this method
of adding moisture to the silage. 1t
frequently happens that farmers
put in corn that is too ripe and do
not add enough water. The result
is mouldy silage There is very little
danger of adding too much water.
slaves take up moisture and swell.
The corn should be cut in one half
or one inch lengths. 1t should be
well tramped. At a time like this
when the corn is liable to be very
dry not less than two men should
be in the silo at all times. They
should keep the silage higher at
the walls than in the center and
should continually tramp it next to
the wall. The center will settle by
itself. Many people had mouldy
silage last year because they did
not tramp it tight enough to keep
the air out. Furthermore, the 81
lage will not settle as much while
fermenting if it is tightly packed as
it is put in the silo.
Tho silage will settle considera-
bly, the first few days while it is
fermenting most rapidly. If posi-
BILE it should be refilled after this
settling stops. When filling is COM
plete it is well to run in few loads
of weeds on top of the corn. The
weeds will rot and seal over the top
partly preventing air from reaching
the silage and eliminating some Of
the usual waste of rotten silage.
The silage should be tramped espec-
tally at the walls of the silo at least
once a day during the first week
after filling. This helps to seal the
silo tightly and prevents some of
the spoilage of the top layer of the
silage.

Filling the Silo.

Under normal conditions corn is
ready to be put in the silo when
the grain is denied and glazed but
still soft enough to be broken with
the thumb nail. At this stage the
lower leaves of the plant and the
outside of the shuck will have turn
ed brown and the corn is practical
ly matured but still contains moist
ure enough to pack well in the silo.
1t is doubtful if there is any place
in the upland of Missouri where the
condition of this years corn crop is
anything like the normal. This
makes it difficult TO say this year
just what is the right stage to cut

Treatment Of Seed Wheat to Pre-
vent Sinking Smut.

a very serious loss to the crop. This
disease is propagated by means of
spores. which are formed within
the grains of the diseased plants.
An infected kernel, when broken
open, has a very fetid odor, which
gives the disease its common name.
During thrashing a large number
of diseased kernels are broken open
and the spores set free which ad
here to the healthy kernels. When
these kernels are planted the fun
gus spores terminate. and immedi-
ately penetrate the young wheat
seedlings. The fungus continues to
grow within the tissues of the plant
at the growing tip. but gives no ap-
parent evidence of its presence until
the wheat plant begins to form the
new grain. At this time the fungus
develops very rapidly, and forms its
spores within the wheat kernels.
The diseased kernels are ENLARGED
which cause the glumes of the
wheat flower to stand out, giving
the head an enlarged appearance;
but other than this, there is no evil
dence of the diseased condition of
the field until some of the kernels
become broken and the odor given
off.
A machine that has thrashed
smutted wheat becomes badly con-
taminated with these dust-like
spores, and if this machine is after
wards used to thrash a crop in
which no smut is present, the grain
becomes contaminated. In this way
the smut may appear the next sea-
son on farm where it has previ-
ously been absent. Clean seed may
also be contaminated by being
placed in sacks that have previous,
ly held smutFed wheat. In the same
way, a contaminated drill may be a
source of smut when clean seed is
used.
There is no danger of infection
from spores which occur in the soil.
The only danger from reseeding a
field which has produced smutted
wheat, is the chance of infected
grains giving rise to volunteer
plants.
The disease is treated as follows:
. Mix one pound of 40 per cent
commercial formalin with 40 or SO
gallons of water in barrels This
! formalin can be secured at most
any drug store. Divide the solution
between two or three barrels and
pour bushel or so of smutted
grain into barrel No. | stirring thor
Oughly with a stick. The smutted
S grains will rise to the top and must
u be skinned off. Pour the solution
S into barrel No. 2 and dump the
). wheat out on the barn floor to dry
i Again divide the solution between
the two barrels, immerse another
quantity of wheat and proceed as
!, before. This solution kills the
spores of the smut adhering to the
healthy grains and the smutted
y grains themselves are skinned off
The wheat should be thoroughly
dried before it is sacked. Spread
in thin layers to accomplish this
n and shovel over occasionally. This
d solution is poisonous in considera.

/ used, it will not injure the hands

Aims and Purposes Of National
Congress Of Mothers.

To raise the standards of home
life. To develop wiser, better
trained parenthood.
To bring into closer relations
the home and the school, that pa
rent and teachermay cooperate in
diligently in educating the child.
To surround the childhood of the
whole world with that loving wise
care, in the impressionable years
of life, that will deve lop good cit
liens instead of lawbreakers.
To carry mother-thought into
all that concerns or touches child
hood inihome, school, church, State
or legislation.
To interest men and women to
cooperate in the work for truer
homes, in the belief that, to ac-
complish the best results, men and
women must work together.
To secure such legislation as will
ensure that children of tender
years may not be tried in ordinary
courts, but that each town shall
establish Juvenile courts and spec
ial officers, whose business it shall
be to look out for that care which
will rescue, instead of confirm, the
child in evil ways.
To rouse the whole community
to sense of its duty and respon-
sibility to the blameless, depend
ent and neglected children, there
is no philanthropy which will so
speedily reduce our taxes, reduce
the expense of institutions for cor
rection and reform.
The work of the Congress is civ.
ic work in its broadcast and highest
sense, and every man or woman
who is interested in the aims of
the Congress is invited to become
a member and aid in the organized
effort for a higher, nobler national
life, which can only be obtained
thru the individual homes.

JUVENILE COURT.
Law Imposes New Duties on Pro.
bate Judge.

Probate Judge w. w. Bolts
says that new law, recently en-
acted by the Legislature, requir-
ing him to hold Juvenile Court is
going to give him further trouble
in his Office. He did not know
that such law had been enacted
until recently.
House Bill No. 499 authorizes
the office. 1t gives wide discrc
ton to Judges of Juvenile Courts
and all offenders under the age of
II years, except those to whom
punishment by death or life i'm.
prisonment shall be given must
come before this Court.
All Police Magistrates, Justices
of the Peace and Justices of all
other courts shall transfer
juvenile cases to the Juvenile
Court under this law.
The act states that County
Courts shall provide a place of
detention for Juvenile offenders.
Such offenders may not be placed
in Jail, where they may come in
contact with adult criminals. An
offender may not be detained for
more than two weeks before trial
and final disposition of the case.
The Probate Judge may send
the offender to State reforma-
tories or, in his discretion, to the
Penitentiary.
Juveniles are, according to the
law, of two classes: Neglected"
and Delinquent" Those who
are subject to the Courts juris-
diction are incorrigibles, those
who visit saloons, pool rooms.
wander on streets during school
hours, are habitual truants, use
vile language, absent themselves
from home, wander on railroad
yards or hook trains, associate
with thieves, etc.
Judge Bolts, of the Audrain
County Probate Court, under this
law, may appoint a County Pro
baton Officer at a salary of 5000
a year, who is to be paid out of
the county funds.
After the LIST of June, boys, you
must be good, whether you live at
Vandalia or Thompson, or any
other part of the county, or you
may be hailed before the Juvenile
Court.
