GOING TO LAW

Old Wax and | lived side by side
and never had a row, until one day he
damned the hide of my old brindle
COW. He said she ate a suit Of clothes
that hung upon his line, and so /
biffed him on the nose and he soaked
me on mine. We owned our homes.
were out of debt, had money in the
bank, that day he damned my brindle
pet. and gave him Il spank. A while
we stood around and cussed and wag-,
ged the fluent jaw, until, surcharged
with deep disgust, we turned and went
to law. Oh, that was bum and beast,
" sporty! Our lawyers, smooth and
deft, conveyed the case from court
to court and taxed US right and left.
Now at the poor-farm Wax and | put
in our fading years; lean on him and
heave sigh and he bursts into tears.
Sometimes we ramble up the road,
where once we did our biz; lawyer
lives in my abode, another lives in his,
Then to the poor-house back we go,
and seek our couch Of straw, and
think Of joys we used to know before
we went to law.-Walt Mason. Copy

THINGS THAT co TOGETHER

There are some things that most
naturally 90 together; for example
good schools, good churches and good
farming. Bad farming, poor schools
and weak churches go together. The
country that has poor schools and poor
chu CheS is usually country of poor
farmerG-poor farmers not in the
sense Of failure to produce crops, but
failure to make a proper use of the
crops which they do produce, in MAX
ing life worth living in the country.
When we come to the details of
farming, there are some things that
naturally 20 together. We have tried,
Tor example, to get farmers to test
and weigh their milk, to find ont what
their cows are doing, to weed out the
poor cows and get good ones in their
places. We have never succeeded to
any very great extent in getting farm
cls to do this, because there are Ger
tain things that must go together in
order to get the results we aim at. The
farmer is not likely to improve the
milking qualities Of his herd Of cattle
unless he puts up silo, so as to have
proper feed for dairy cows. Putting
up a silo, however, is not sufficient.
He must feed the cattle a balanced
ration. This is not sufficient unless he
has a clean stable and even this will
solve the question unless he has it
we'll ventilated and lighted. When
you get all these things, you will find
that the poor cow will go out and the
good COW come in. These things go
together.
An eighty bushcl crop of corn does
not come in without something else
with it. What else? Thorough cult
walton. But that will not do It alone
We must have a supple of vegetable
matter in the soil, and to get that we
must have rotation of crops and
grow clover or alfalfa or both. To get
the good out of these, we must have
live stock; and to make live stock
profitable we must have better breed
ir-. and better feeding. These things
all go together. You cant have one
without the other; and you can I have
any of them until the farmer has the
| ideal in his mind and has determine
ton to realize that ideal.
We can not ret one good thing
without at the same time working fol
other good things that go with it. II
We get some bad things, usually lot
of other things, both bad ane
good that go together.
There are certain things that car
not be obtained by the individual a
lone. For example, you can't get
good school unless farmers get togeth
err. When we get good school in the
country, and the children are educated
in the line of farming so as to make
good farmers out of them, as well al
good boys and girls, then naturally
they will want a good church. Wher
farmers get together on these lines
they will get together on every othei
good thing. The first thing is to &C
themselves together, and learn to un
dcrstand each other, and to sympa
thize with each other, and to hell
each other. Then the other goot
things will naturally follow.-Wal
laces Farmer.

DEMOCRATS ECONOMICAL
State Auditor Gordon Gives Data To
Refute Republican Charges of
Extravaganza

State Auditor Gordon denies the re-
ports, circulated throughout the state
present Democratic state administra-
presen democratic state administra-
ton is an extravaganza one, and gives
the figures to prove it.
Gordon admits the payroll during
the first year for the salary of en-
ployes is larger than it was during
Gov. Hadley's administration. The
salaries of all clerks in the various de-
partments at jefferson City were rails
ed from 81 800 to $500 per year; con
sequently the salary payroll is larger
than in former years.
For each separate Office ut Jefferson
City there is contingent appropria-
ton made by the Legislature for the
support Of that office, which CoDtin-
gent appropriation is under tn" con-
troll of the head Of the department.
There was spent from this appro-
priation for one year under Gov. Had
ley, the attorney general, the building
and loan supervisor, the secretary Of
state and the state auditor the sum Of
S25,4Ol.79.
For the contingent support Of the
same Offices filled by democrats for
the year 1918, Gov. Major, Gen. o.
Meara, secretary Of State Rooch, Au-
ditor Gordon, Attorney General Bar
ker and the building and loan commits
sioncr spent only $20,75I.31. In other
words. republicans spent in one year
almost $4,000 more in the same Offices
than the democrats spent.
This does not look like democratic
extravaganza. II looks more ike old
time republican extravaganza IN every
branch Of government.
While it is true that it has cost
more to pay the salaries Of clerks on
account of the raise made in their sal
aries during Gov. lladley's adihinistra-
ton, the fact is shown that the heads
of departments under democratic rule
in the control of their contingent APP
propriation has been much less than
under republican administration.
Furthermore. the records show that
the first year of Col. Swanger's adj
ministration as secretary of state, he
collected in the way of fees and paid
into the state treasury the sum of
Sl55, 933.05. Secretary of State Roach
ne first year of his present term
collected and paid into the state treas.
ury The sum of $3g6,4l9.75.
The record further shows that Aud
tor Wilder collected in fees and paid
into the state treasury for 1908 the
sum of $l,079. Gordon collected dur.
ing 1913, the first wear of his present
term, and paid into the state treasury
the sum of 1913, 14S.l7. Il 5000 per cent
increase.
The record further shows that for
one year under republican administra
ton, it cost the state for assessing anc
collecting the revenue and paying
costs in criminal cases the sum Of
6S4,i5437. For 1913, under Auditor
Gordon, the cost for these two item!
was only S53l ,624.37, a saving to The
taxpayers of more than Sl5O,OO0 IL
these two items alone.
Does that look like democratic eX'
travagance
There was also collected under re

publican administration and paid into
the treasury to the credit Of the col
lateral inheritance tax fund for the
support of the university 1851 ,22963.
Under Auditor Gordon, for last year,
there was collected and paid into this
fund the enormous sum of $62S. G92.24.
Do these figures look like demo-
cratic extravaganza?
Here is another sample Of demo-
cratic extravaganza pointed out by
Mr.. Gordon:
The present republican superintcnd-
ent Of public schools, first republican
in that office since the war, paid out
for the first year of his administra-
ton in 1911 for contingent ond trav-
cling expenses, S6,47l.93, while the
last SUPERINTENDENT of public schools,
Mr.. Gass, for the first year Of his term
spent only S2,534.46 for the same pur-
pose, an expenditure by the present
superintendent Of public schools of al
most three times that of his demo-
cratic predecessor.
Does this look like democratic eN-
travagauCc
AuultOr GOruOn says lnat tue llE
ares will show that taking into con
silcration the amount of money chat
has been collected and the amount that
ha been paid out, there is no state IN
all the union that has a more economi-
cal administration of its affairs than
the present democratic administration
81 the state Of Missouri, and at the
end Of this biennial period there will
be q surplus in the state treasury.
which will be q great disappointment; to
the republican newspapers.

One Good Old Fashioned Square
Meal

As previously announced, the no
eral hearted farmers livInr on rural
route gave n BASKET dinner in Conuer-
.tion with Childrcn's Day services at
Marvin Chapel Sunday, June q. As
early rs 9 o'clock people began to
arrive and from that time until all
had departed cloud OF dust could be
seen to rise from the road leading to
the church because Of the coming and
going Of wagons, buggics, no" 'es. au-
tomobiles. etc II was estimated that
as mary as 500 were on the grounds
sometime during the day.
At II o'clock the church house had
been filled with people anXiously wait
ing the commencement of the pro
Gram that began promptly at that
hour. The children had been trained,
drilled, rehcarsod personally and cY-
crything was ready for the splendid
program that was rendered. Those
on the program very capably acquitted
themselves in the performance OF
each number and proved at least to
their own conviction that even a De
mosthenes might be included IN thei:
number. After few words by Rev
Sitton Mt the close of the program the
bcnediction was pronounced and nc
time lost in spreading dinner on the
ground. -,
To keep an understanding with
| those people one must always accept
an invitation to dine with them, ano
no hesitation was expressed audlbly
by anyone. If that which the writer
partook of was sample OF tables
| set by the good people OF tha'
community, we do not hesitate to say
that life is comfortable at least three
times n day to all fortunate enough
TO reside in that neighborhood.
After dinner was disposed of the
crowd disbanded fo- short period o.
conversation and the reputation o
thse people as sociable ard friendly
neighbors was fully lived up to b!
them.

dered by the W. c. 7. U. of Bonn'

BIG ALLIGATOR KILLED
Game Warden DeLassus Kills Mon
ster OF River

Peter Hoffman. who was at Menfro
Monday, reports that game warden,
Felix DeLassus, killed an alligator gar
near the bridge at Menfro that meas
ured Z feet long and weighed 1T
pounds. Mr.. DeLassus shot three but
two of the three sunk in the creek
and he only got the one out.
There were number about the
skift, and the one that was taken out
was not the largest one.
The people Of Menfro, who have
observed the signs of high water,
claim that the alligator gar, taking
refuge in the smaller streams that
empty into the river indicates high
water.-New Republican Era.
