to that awful two miles of road
which Col. Buffin branded disgrace
to civilization and which drove his
party of good road boosters out of
Rails County and across to Palmyra
last Sunday.
The presiding Judge promised to
look after things for the boys next
February, but the boys" are willing
to wait now until August.
A tour of inspection of the now
almost completed Cross State High
way was made last Saturday and
Sunday. Six automobiles left St,
Joseph on Saturday morning and
came as far as Macon Saturday
night, the road from st. Joseph to
Macon had all been dragged and
was in good condition from Macon
to Shelbina the road was in good
shape and most of it had been
dragged. From Shelbina to Hun
newell the road was not up to
standard, but from Hunnewell to
Monroe the tourists found a road
that reflects credit on Monroe Coun-
ty and Mo. Out at J. M. Proctor's
farm the machines halted 10 ng
enough for a hurried inspection of
Mr.. Proctors's beautiful stone fence
across the avenue in front of the
picturesque Proctor homestead
some of the gentlemen being anx-
ious to get the patent to be used on
their own farms.
Mr.. Buffum complimted the roads
in this section very highly and
said as a whole the progress in the
western part of the state had been
highly satisfactory.
The boosters had dinner in Mon
roe Sunday and were met here by
several machines from Hannibal
afternoon reinforced by a number
of automobiles from this place the
boosters went on their way to Han
nibal, leaving the Highway at Has
sard and going by Ely on account
of the bad road between Hunting,
ton and Rensselaer,.
The party was headed by State
Highway Commissioner Buffum and
was composed of the following gen,
tlelnen most of whom will attend
the good road convention at St
Louis:
CT. Adams, Chillicothe, Presi
dent of the Cross State Highway
Association, C. F. Stureis, of Hamil
ton, G. H. Furbach. of St. Joseph

PREAS THINKS
81. A. 4. RULING
VERY UNJUST.
Jim Was Careful to Protect Him
self Against Professionalism;
Hard Blow to Tech.

INHE Jackets hard luck story did
not come until late. but when
one says there is gloom in the
Yellow Jacket hive now, you speak a
whole mouthful.
Coach Heisman, Assistant Coach
Alexander, the team, and all the stu
lent body are in a very melancholy
mood to-day. Heisman being the
o'uest of them all.
This sad feeling is caused all from
he loss Of one player, and a good one,
Jim Preas. At the S. l. A. A. meeting
Monday afternoon Preas was declared
ineligible to participate in college ath-
letcs on the charge of professional
ism.
This was the greatest blow and
caused more sorrow than any other
incident that has happened to Jim in
his nineteen years of existence.
When the news reached Jim he
aid not believe it, taking it merely as
Joke, but when he was convinced
that II was true, he did not know
what 10 do with himself. He has
worn sad, der"~-eed and humiliating
expression eve. ace.
! M is good, clean, clever sports
J man. 1t has been the height of his
ambition since early childhood to be-
come a college athlete Of the Jim
Thorpe variety, but to think Of his
being ruled off for professionalism
causes him to lose all his athletic am
oitOn.
Jim says he is unjustly accused and
can not understand the condition Of
The case upon which he is suffering a
penalty.
Preas has not, or did not, receive
money for athletic service, but received
Q scholarship from a prep school, and
the prep school contends that this
scholarship was awarded to him for
lis athletic service. Preas thought he
was getting it for his general excel
Ionce in the school he attended just
before this one.
That is the ground upon which he
was ruled out of S. I. A, A.
I IN very easily could have been d
J professional. for he has had num-
erouS offers to play football and base
ball for money, but he would not aC-
cept any offer He has been guarding
himself against the strict S. l. y. A.
rules for several years Last year
While he was at Riverside he would
not even practice with the Gainesville
ball players. saying that some one
might say he was playing with the
team and getting pay for it.
Jim is very anxious TO get back into
The game, but no efforts are being
made to get him back as the season
will be closed before he could begin
10 get it Strengthened with the S. !.

THE loss of Preas IS not the only
blow the Jacket squad suffered.

NNCE upon a time there were Il
I couple Of baseball teams that
agreed to cut out all the rough
stuff and be polite on the field, even
TO the umpire And the umpire, on
his side. agreed to be polite and gen
tlemanly and forbearing in his atti-
tude toward the players.
That is not Fairy Story 1t is
the cold truth. 1t was tried once
Just once.
Joe Kelly tells the story, and as we
got it direct from a guy, who had It

That is Mr.. Kelly's gentlemanly

arlor Baseball' Didn't Work
Players Tried Being Polite Once

Doyle slid into second in cloud of
dust and Mr.. Hurst said out" Jack
came out of the dust with his face
as red as a spanked lobster, only to
remember the agreement and re-
mark, politely:
Pardon me, Mr. Hurst, but l fan
cied Mr. Long failed to touch me"
Whereupon Herman Long, equally
thoughtful, bowed and said: Il am
under the impression that I did touch
Mr.. Doyle just as Chesterfieldian
as you please.
- o far, so good-but that was only
~ the first inning.
In the second came the blow off,
and if Mr.. Lord Chesterfield had been
there, he undoubtedly would have fed
from the scene, twittering with hor-
ror.
Baltimore had three men on bases
and Jennings was at bat Reitz made
a dash for the plate on what he
thought was a passed ball. The Bos-
ton catcher recovered the bail and
dove for the sliding Reitz, but Jcn-

Free Scholarships

Notice is hereby given that Monroe County is entitled to 30 free scholarships for her young men and women at the State Agricultural School. at Monticel- 10, Ark, during the session which opens September. l7th,, 1913. The magnificent patron age accorded this institution in the past, coupled with it's splen- did faculty and its greatly en- larged accommodations is well worth careful considerations on the part of the young people who desire first class service at mini mum cost.
 It will afford me pleasure to present worthy applicants these scholarships until the above limited supply shall be exhausted.

MONEY MAKING FARMING
A Laying-By Letter of Advice by a Man Who is a Real
 Farmer

|
 The following was written tc l the Marianna Index by one of the most practical men in Eastern Arkansas. He knows farming from A to z, and he farms in a money making way. The writer, 1 MT. Mann, is manager of the oil mill, but he is also a real farmer; so his letter is worth reading by every Monroe County man.
 Our crop of corn, peas and sweet potatoes in Lee County, are in a more prosperous condi- than was ever known at this season of any year. August is a most trying month on cotton and corn. Can't you farmers, both white and black. be men enough to do your simple duty to your families and our country by con- serving this good chance of pros- perity, or are you so blind to your best interest, as to cease your efforts when the merchants refuse fruther advances. Are you so poor manager that you can t see that it is better to make more crop and money to spend, than to make your family do on less? Now is the time to start this new order of things by continuing to blow your cotton if only with one furrow. Clear your field of all weeds, even to the ditches and fence rows. Pull corn fodder, and save all hay from crab grass. Plant turnips on every vacant lot. Look after the pigs that you expect to make your meat of. Do these things and let your family spend the money for things they cant raise on the farm, and you will be prosperous and happy. August is the last and final chance for the farmers. When he does not take advantage of the summing lup months. his family has to buy less or the merchant has to suffer. If you have quit blowing, start over with one furrow; if your cotton has lapped in the rows. more is the necessity for going through it to let the light and air in. Very truly. ~

 Mot long ago heard a sad eyed honest face woman make the remark that she never had a cent of money of her own. Now there are thousands of women who work harder than their husbands and really have more right to the money. but they have to practice all sorts of deceit in order to get enough money to buy clothing and other things that are necessary to decent living. The difficulty that some women have to have in extract ing" you might say, their own hard earned money from unwill- | ing husbands, has led to many a divorce suit for the majority of husbands seem inclined to exercise a kind of censorship ever their wives expenditures. | I have often heard women say that they would go without necessary articles of clothing and other things for weeks needing and wanting tn ose
