Mrs. Fannie 'Brosius of Butler, Mo-,
was appointed to compile the statis-
tics.
DR.. Adcock said the entire matter
hinged upon the right of the board
to name the persons who had access
to its records.
'The state OF Missouri gathers
these Statistics" he said, land they
do not cost the government penny,
except the 8 cents per name for copy
ing.
Common courtesy, it seems to
me, would indicate that the state
board of health should have control
over any one who desires to use these
records as the state not only supplies
the figures but furnishes an Cffice
and other things free. That is all
there is to the story

Dr.. Frank B. Hitler, was named by
the census department each of the
four years that he was in office to
compile the list and each year select
ed clerk to compile the list.

School Case Dismissed

Judge Charles w. Sloan received a
letter yesterday from his associate
counsel, Judge G. A. Denton of Butler,
conveying information that the case
of the State of Missouri ex rel Nav
son ct al against County Superintend-
ent Thomas j. Walker and DR.. T. w.
Adair ct al, members of the Archie
Consolidated School District No. 2,
had been dismissed.
The case had been submitted to
Judge Charles A. Calvird ofthe Bates
County Circuit Court some time ago
on briefs both by the plaintiffs and
defendants and the Judge announced
thata decision would be rendered on
the 29th of the present month. A
motion had also been filed by the
defendants to quash the writ Of GER
tiorari. The suit was brought some
months ago by certain taxpayers in
the Archie school district and others
living in a school district just over the
line in Bates county, who were not
satisfied with the organization of the
Archie Consolidated School District
No. 2.
The consolidation of the districts
was regarded as a most desirable
thing for the people of the district,
as it was designed to give the town of
Archie first class high school and
the entire district much better school
facilities. The consolidated district
will now stand as organized. -Harri-
sonville Democrat.

Missouri Tires Of Turning Health Onlcs
Over to Outside Hands.

Jefferson city, June q. Relations,
diplomatic and otherwise, between
the Missouri State Board of Health
and the division of mortuary statistics
of the Federal Census Department at
Washington were severed today by
action of the state body, acting
through its secretary and registrar OF
vital statistics, DR.. J. A. B. Adcock.
In Withdrawing from all relation with
the Census Bureau Missouri followed
the recent example of Ohio, Ken
lucky, Maryland, Rhode Island, Con-
necticut, and ten or twelve other
states which quit the Census Depart
ment for the same reason.
Until this year it has been the GUS
tom 1.-the War Department to desig-
nate the secretary Of the State Board
of Health to compile the death statis-
tics.
The latter official in turn appointed
a clerk to do the work. Last year
DR.. r. E. Wilbur, then director of
the census, named DR.. Adcock. This

Preparing for Frisco Prizes?

The secretary of the State Board Of
Agriculture suggests that the good
farmers of Bates County get busy
preparing to win prizes at San Fran
cisco next year. The best way is to
prepare for winning firsts at the local
home products show or county fair,
then sending it on to Sedalia to rake
off the State fair honors. Missouri's
best in agriculture and live stock
should be shown at the Panama
American Exposition. Will your
share be there? Missouri should win
as many prizes as in 1893 and 1904
why not?
