Making Fence Posts Last

Does it pay to treat fence posts
with a preservatiye in order to
make them last longer? Is it pos
sibIe to trrat cottonwood, elm,
sycamore, or Eastwood posts so
that they will last as long as good
whith oak or black locust post does
without treatment? The Missouri
college of agriculture has started
an experiment which will help to
answer these questions.
On November 30, the forestry
department of the Missouri college
of agriculture set the last of 533
posts representing q different
kinds of wood. The posts were
set two feet deep on level piece OF
land where soil and moisture con-
ditions are the same for all. Posts
of each species of wood were hand
led in seven different ways Some
were set in tAe ordinary way with
out treatment of any kind These
will serve as a check. Some were
set in gravel so as to test the bene-
fit, if any, from having better
drainage around the post. Others
had the lower three feet charred.
Another series was given two brush
coats of hot creosote, spreading 1t
over the lower three feet. A fifth
series was treated with creosote by
the open tank method described in
circular 81 of the Missouri agri-
culture experiment station. The
fame method was followed with the
seventh series except that the posts
were soaked in creosote for two
and ne-half hours in each bath.
So the long distance race is on
Missouri farmere will be interested
in watching this test of endurance.
It will probably take a good many
years before the whole race is fin
ished and the last contender check
ed in, but long before the end we
will know a few things about fence
post durability and fence post
economy that We only guess at
now.

He WAS AFTER FUEL
Frank Bailey Charged With Taking
Company Coal

Frank Bailey, who has lived in
Laclede for the past year, was
arrested on Thursday night of last
week by Lewis Hughes, the Bur-
lington railroad detective. Ac-
cording to Hughes statement he
caught Bailey in the act of stealing
coal from a car in the company
yards. Bailey admitted the charge
and asked to be allowed to plead
guilty. He was taken before
Justice O. F. Libby where he again
asked to be allowed to plead guilty
and have the matter disposed of as
soon as possible. AS no informa-
ton has been filed by the prosecu-
ting attorney Judge Libby declined
to act on the case, and set the
trial for Saturday morning. By
Saturday morning Bailey seemed
to have changed his mind about
pleading guilty and asked for
jury trial. Before the case was
called, however, the prosecuting
attorney notified the court he
could not be present but as Bailey
was demanding immediate trial the
case was dismissed and Bailey
turned loose since which nothing
has been done in the matter. 1t is
reported that the company are
after others who are charged with
helping themselves to coal during
the winter.

New Postmaster for BrOOkfieId

On Thursday of last week the
name of Thos. M. Bresnehen was
sent to the senate for confirmation
as postmaster at Brookfeld. Mr.,
Bresnehen is we'll known lawyer
and politician, being a member OF
the democratic state committee.
While Mr.. Bresnehen is splendid
citizen and has fine q Qualifications
for the Office his appointment is
not popular with the patrons of
the office, and especially with a
very large per cent of the demo-
Gratis Of Brookfeld. Chas. W,
Green, editor of the Argus, who
has fought the battles of Brook
field and the democratic party for
many years, was an applicant, and
the turning Of him down for man
who has done practically nothing
for Brookfield has aroused a storm
Of indignation among those who
appreciate Mr.. Green's loyalty and
persistent boosting for Brookfeld
and its business interests. Con-
gresham Rucker is being severely
critisized and it is reported that
several prominent democrats have
started a move to organize a
Whitecotton for Congress" club
and carry the fight to the fall
primary.

One Run Comes Just in
Time to Bring a Victory
Over St. Louis
Cardinals.

The Brooklyn Superbas pokcd their
heads out Of the cramped and lowly
cellar apartments by defeating the st.
Louis Cardinals at Ebbets Field yestcr-
day afternoon. Since the rampant Bos-
ton Braves downed the Pirates mar
gin of nine points now separates the
Flatbush artists from the Smoky City
contingent. Neither side would venture
a prediction OF what another day would
bring forth, but Brooklyn is prepared
to hold its position at any cost. The
score was to 0, and victory was won
just when tho faithful few had about
abandoned hope Of an early dinner.
Two men were down in the ninth
inning when Jake Daubert poled out
a single which scored McCarty from
third base with the lone run Of the
game. Red Smith started the frame
with a fy 10 Miller. but Lou McCsrty
singled He reached second when
Pfeffer also took kindly TO one Of Sal
lees slants and shot it into safe terri
tory. Colonel Gloom led a charge IF
the Ublans when Ollie O'Mara forced
Pfeffer at second base for the second
out, McCarty taking third. Jake Dau-
bert had done nothing heretofore
against Sallee, but this time Re picked
one out and soaked il with might and
main. McCarty scored easily.

TIP TOPS CLIMB
BACK TO THIRD
Victory Over Kansas City
Sends Brooklyn Feds
Up in Race.

Bunching their half dozen hits
around almost as many errors by the
opposition, the Brooklyn Tip Tops
downed the Kansas City Packers at
Washington Park yesterday afternoon.
The score was to A. Luck was with
the home team, for the hit by Evans,
which scored the necessary run, was a
gift of the gods. Rawlings was all SCI
for the play, when the ball must needs
take an insane hop over his head into
left field. The Tip Tops are back m
third place again, for the Hoosiers
struck their colors in a spirited en-
gagement at Buffalo.
Joe Finneran, who pitched for the
home team. was in fair form. lie al
lowed nine hits, and had hard time IN
the third inning, when the Packers raj J.
lied and tied the score. After that,
however, he ruled as all monarchs OF
the mound should, allowing only ono
more IN. This was not enough to
win.
CulloD and Adams proved unequal to
the task Of holding the Tip Tops at
bay. They were not altogether at fault
for the support was anything but per
feet. II seemed as II the players had
entered into competition 10 see Just
who has the strongest arm. While
they settled the argument brooklyn
scored runs. Goodwin, who won tame
as base runner, made one throw
worthy Of comment, and Rawlings was
not far behind.
