HALF MILLION FOR EDUCATION.

While the details Of the plan have
not been announced, the American
Meat Packers association has decided
to spend 100000 q year for five years
in an educational campaign to teach
the farmers the advantages Of raising
cattle. Here in Iowa the corn trains
and dairy trains run by the state IN
connection with the railways have had
an important influence on farm pro-
duction, and It as presumed that the
packers have decided to undertake
some such method of reaching the
farmers and talking cattle raising to
them. Even. il the grazing. lands are
being filled with settlers it would APP
pear to be unnecessary to send 80
many calves to slaughter when by re-
tanning them on the farms for few
years liberal supply Of beef cattle
would be produced To show the
farmer how he may make money and
at the same time assist in maintaining
the country's meat supply will be the
object Of the expenditure Of the half
million dollars set aside for educational
work by the packers.

To End Jay County Seat War

New Jay, Ok, June 26.--To put
an end to the county seat war that
has caused a series of outbreaks in
Delaware County, citizens of Jay,
which has been designated as the
county seat, have subscribed funds to
build Courthouse on neutral spot
and construction began today. The
Courthouse formerly was at Old Jay
and later moved to New Jay, when a
townsite was laid out at the latter
place. When an effort was made to
remove the Courthouse to Old Jay
last February an armed mob took
possession of the building and for
several days defied all attempts to
remove the records.

A Dramatic Meeting
After Fifty Years

u. T. Darr stonewall Jsckson's h-ssAie,
Springfield, MOI
Among the grizzled veterans oi HE
Blue and the Gray composing the
Missouri delegation that left 81. Louis
Saturday to attend the Gettysburg IL
union there none was happier than J,
T. Darr of Springfield, who is to have
gratified the last of two loneingS cher
ished through the long years since
the close of the Civil War. This is To
once more before final taps for him
are sounded, visit the old battle field
where fifty years ago he fought Tor
two days midst the carnage in the
ranks Of Stonewall Jackson'S brigade
and retired from the fighting only
when a bullet disabled him.
The other wish was gratified 4, a
state reunion Of Confederate veterans
at Nevada, Mo. 1t was to meet again
the soldier who carried him Off Get
tysburg's bloody field and saved him
from being crushed under the hooiS
of charging cavalry horses. The SOL
der who saved him is Thomas D Neal
who is still living at Rich Hill Mo.
With a strange feeling that he WAS
about to be reunited with the man
who once saved his life, Darr had the
name of O'Neal announced from the
rostrum at the reunion. An old vet
eran arose and responded to the name.
Then followed one of the most dra-
matte incidents of the reunion. AS
soon as each was convinced that the
man before him was the soldier at
Gettysburg they were clasped in each
others arms and wept like children.
They had lived near each other in
Virginia before the war, but enlisted
in separate regiments. At Get.yS-
burg the regiments were so scattered
by the fighting that when Darr fell
severely wounded O'Neal was near
him and carried him off the battle
field. They were inseparable till the
close of the war.
Both Darr and O'Neal were men,
bers of the band Of sixty-five Confed-
crates, disguised as Union soldiers,
who made their way into Cumberland,
Md, in 1865, and in the midst of an
army of ten thousand Federals cap
tured General Cook, spiriting him out
of Cumberland without being detect
ed and delivering him to the Confed-
crates at Staunton, Va.,. whence he
was taken to Richmond and remained
a prisoner till the capitulation of Lee
at Appomattox.

BATES COUNTY SCHOOLS
AND TEACHERS


BY >upt P. NJ. Allison
The State Board OF Agriculture is
Offering Boys State Fair Scholar
ship i'll the Boys State Fair school to
be held in Sedalia Sept. 81 to Oct. 3,
1913. This is open to boys between
- and II years of age and the rep
resentative from each county will be
selected by competitive examination
which will consist of an essay on
Corn Growing and five questions
in each of these: Arithmetic, Geog-
raphy and Agriculture.
The questions will be furnished by
the State Superintendent of Schools
and the examination given by the
County Superintendent of Schools
September 18th. This examination
will be held in Butler and everything
will be furnished but the answers to
the questions.
Now some boy will win this schol-
arShip and it is worth the effort of
every one who wants to attend the
State Fair as it will be in progress at
this time and special effort will be
made to help the boys get the most
possible out of the Fair. Besides
the features of the fair an excellent
program will be prepared consisting
of lectures by experts on various farm
topics of vital interest to the rural
boys of the State. S. M. Jordan, r.
II. Emberson, T. R. Douglass, p. P.
Lewis, Supt. VIM. P. Evans, and
others will give lectures to the boys.
The scholarship gives tickets to the
Fair and board free. All the expense
will be the railroad fare there and
return. The boys will be under the
care of competent man all the time
they are there so there is not parti-
Gle of danger in letting the boys go.
This is great opportunity to see this
great display and will be the best
days of schooling possible. We hope
to have many boys in the county try
this as some one will get it if just one
tries. want the boys to write me
about it and ask questions on any
point that is not clear.
