Identified Seeds

Whether handled farmer to
farmer, farmer to seedman,
seedman to farmer, or farm
bureau to either, the time has
come for the growing and dis
tribution of pure bred identified
seeds as recommended by the
State Experiment Stations.
The president of a prominent
seed company writes:
Il think the time is ripe for
something in the line of identi-
fled seeds grown by individuals
or associations, There must be
something to It. because from
the reports | have heard, the
Wisconsion Experiment AS
sociation hae sold more seed bar
ley in the past year or so than
this seed company has sold in its
entire existence.
I'VE would be glad, if we
could be sure of the inspection,
to handle such seeds at a very
small margin, but we cannot risk
our reputation on the actions of
growers without soma adequate
assurance that the seeds will be
delivered as represented"
In order to accomplish this
very important project, there
must be a recognized seed club
established in each county which
will guarantee faithful per.
formance either as a subdivision
of the County Farm Bureau Or
as a society of grain breeders
which will lead ultimately to a
strong county organization in
charge Of a paid agriculturist.

A Quiet Election

Not much excitement at the
election Tuesday. With only
one strong ticket in the county,
that Democratic, there was not
enough interest to raise a fuss so
there was nothing to do but to
vote. That however, was not a
simple task. There were seven
ballots handed to each voter.
One, the size of a newspaper,
was the vote on a dozen amend
ments to the Constitution which
were put before the people on
referendum. The six other bal
lots were those Of nominees for
six different politicol parties?
Only one of these, the. Demo-
cratic had a full list of nominees
and this ticket had an easy time
of it.

Buys Army Horses

The buyers of horses for the
European armies report that
the requirements are getting
narrowed down each day until it
is getting hard to bring in a sup
ply that meet with specification.
The army service will have no
horse more than Is hands 3
inches high at the outside. And
they must have other qualifica-
tions as well. One buyer spoke
of a man who bought about Is
horses and two-thirds of them
left on his hands because they
did not come up to require
ments. The city men who pur-
vey the army purchasers send
men about the country on a per
diem. buying the horses in the
country districts.

Cotton Seed Oil Valuable

The U. S. Agricultural Depart
ment in its weekly public letter
letter has a good word to say for
cotton seed oil as an edible
product. The letter says that
under modern conditions, the
edible oil is made in cleanly
manner and that it is as a final
product, "a liquid which, as far
as nutrition goes, is practically
as that of olive OIL" In ad-
ditlon to being an able food. the
oil is coined with lard or suet
and made into frying and short
ening compounds. A process
has been discovered whereby
the oil can itself be hardened to
the consistency of lard with
much the same color and can be
used as a lard substitute without
the addition of animal fat,

THE ELECTION QUIET.
Fair Weather and Amendments
Fail to Attract Voters. The
Vote Was Light

roads good, the voters to the ex-
tent Of about 40 per cent stayed
away from the polls. There was
not a precinct in the county so
far as reports show, where there
was any electloneering for either
candidates or amendments to
any extent. The fact that the
majority of the people of this
county, fancy that it is much
easier to get amendments into
the constitution than it is to get
them out again, and that mis-
take in scratching may be fatal
to their position, induced many
to either scratch yes every where
it appeared on the ballot, or
mark out the whole bunch of
amendments and nullify their
votes in this particular. The
fact that 10 of the Is amend
ments were calculated to great
ly increased already heavy taxes,
and the proposition to pension
the blind was regarded a step in
the direction of inviting those
whotcannot see from every state
in the union to camp with US, as
well as becoming a precedent
for the indiscriminate pension
ing of disabled persons, caused
an increase of vote over what it
would perhaps otherwise have
been. The 10th. amendment
and theE E13th. also, were sup
posed to have great power to en-
tice voters to the polls, but the
great majorityIof women in the
county being either opposed to
woman stiftng diIletent -
it, and the extreme restrictions
of theIcounty unit law being un-
favorably regarded.by even pro-
hibitionists, these amendments
were depended on in vain to
draw men to the polls.
We give the vote for the diff
ferent candidates as we now
have them, expecting to publish
the official vote next week.

The feature of the election is

Herring. 1t will be seen that
he defeated.both his opponents
nearly A to l. Considering that
he is the youngest man ever
elected to the county bench in|
this county. if not in the state,
and that he had as good
financiers as could be found to
oppose him, his running powers
can be appreciated. Then too,
he carried the western district
by the greatest, majority ever
obtained BY candidate. beating
the best showiDg..ever made BY
his father four to one. Should
he succumb to cnpids wiles and

USUAL HALLOWEE EA
Old and Young Celebrate Many
Novel Franks and
Vandals

Inere was some noise anu q
little fun for the kids and older
ones the night of Halloween,
Saturday night, and Sunday
night, and Sunday witnessed Al
number of ornaments and decor
ations on the streets, sidewalks,
telephone wires and elsewhere
that were not at the usual places.
Early risers found the park can
non drawn to the road in front
of the Minter residence but as
the cannon is the first victim of
all jokes on Halloween or any
other time this was to be expect
ed. The bandstand, Keytesville's
most solid and satisfactory ex-
ample of municipal enterprise,
was filled with old wagons and
rigs and the steps torn away.
This bandstand solidly anchored
and strongly made of hard wood
has stood many Halloween as
saults and for the most part has
manfually withstood all attempts
thus far to tear it down. A self
bider and several wagons were
on the sidewalk in front of the
Hill buildings in Bridge street,
the binder having been brought
in, it is said, from the ChrismanI
farm a mile in the country.
Some man jocularly inclined shot
the tin covering on the front wal
ofthe Hill structure full of shot
and a load of shot also penetra-
ted the from screen door Of the
w. H. Burns grocery store.
Board walks were taken up
gates removed. wagons hauled
away and some real acts Of van-
daHsm, such as breaking con-
lcrete walks also were perfQrn-|
led. Several lunches Of children
were out with chaperons who
saw they did not do very much
damage outside of pranks that
could be easily accounted for
without loss to property owners.

DR.. and Mrs. L. O. Mckee

when their automobile plunged

They were enroute to that
place on business trip, and
were travelling at a rate of about
IL miles per hour when a knuckle
broke on the front axle of the
car and caused DR.. Mckee to
lose control OF the ma chine.
The car plunged into a ditch
about three feet deep, and both

thrown out. Fortunately, how
ever they sustained only slight
bruieses. The car was brought

opportunity If you miss this sale.

BONDS FOR SOUTH CAROLINA.

Well, or rather otherwise, Con-
gress has adjourned and without do
ing anything to help out the cotton
situation. The trouble seemed to
be that the South was bowling for
cotton legislation and the Georgia
Senators and Congressman did what
they could to get it but the majority
was against it.
1t is simply the same old story
the North and the West with the bal
ance of power voted against it. But
you just watc' and hear EN- howl
when the price of grain and meat
hits the chute the chutes some day
Then the Southern Senators and Con-
gressmen will fight them and there
you are. You've got 'em-Congress
what are you going to do with 'em
as Goldberg says.
1t looks like baby act for grown
men, supposed to be the leaders OF
the public thought to fight among
themselves SO that no section of the
country can get relief from a calami-
ty that is not caused by any fault
of that section.
Suppose the bankers of the coun-
try fought among themselves against
various sections of the country. How
long would our great banking sys
TEN stand? And how long can
country hope to prosper when its
lawmakers refuse to lay aside pre-
Judice and pol tics and do something
to help part of the country that
needs help?
So it looks more this week like it
is up to the individual States to pro-
vide their own protection and one
has already started that way. Last
Thursday the South Carolina Legis-
lature passed a bill providing for
a bond issue of twenty four million
dollars to buy cotton at nine cents
pound-not to LEND, to BUY.
That's what we said last week re-
itterating an argument brought out
some time ago in this column.
Alabama is considering the same
plan and if Congress could be made
to see the situa ton and act this win
ter such bill could be passed by
all the States in the Union before
another crop of cotton or grain is
planted and then the farmer and
merchant will have the assurance
that he will get staple price for his
produce and that business will be
good.
Why not let Georgia fall in line
and take this matter up.

session of the legislature to pass
laws for the curtailment of the crop
next year but it was voted own.
Everybody present was agreed that
next years crop shiuld be reduced.

So strangely alone
And list for a voice.

Remember that He
Keeps you waiting the while
TO bring you together again.
