Blackleg has broken out

John Ellis, near Moline, is sell

An examination of the corn
fields in Audrain county verifies
the truth of the message from
the State Board of Agriculture
that this is the year for early
gathering of corn. The corn
conditions suggest to the Mes
sage that corn that stays late In
the field this year will be dam
aged worse than usual as it will
fall down and blow down
worse, because the corn roots
are shallower this year and the
stalks generally weaker. Corn
in the field is like money loaned
to poor paymasters. Corn in the
crib is like money in the bank

THE ELECTRIC R. R.
Negotiations on to Sell The Line
to the Houcks

We are informed that negotia-
tons are pending for the sale OF
the electric railroad to the
Houck Interests, the owners OF
the road from Shelbina to Shell
byville, thence north about ~
miles, to Novelty, in Knox coun-
ty.
The idea of the Houcks is to
connect the two lines by extend
ing the electric line northwest
from Moline thru Paris to Shell
bina, distance of about %
miles. This would give them a
thru line from Mexico to all
parts of Northeast Missouri.
If the Houcks acquire the line
it is thought that they will take
up the south end of the line and
use the material for the extern
sion to Paris and abandon the
line to Santa Fe and Perry.
The elder Houck made an I'M
mense fortune in railroad
building in Southeast Missouri,
and recently his two sons &C
quired the Shelby county road
and have already extended it
about 20 miles north, and are
still building. 1t is believed that
they are planning a large system
in Northeast Missouri.

STURGEON SPEAKS OUT

Wellsville, Mo-, Nov Is, 1914.
Editor Message In giving
the official vote of the county
your valuable paper fails to give
the vote for the Prohibition and
Progressive candidates.
1t may be they were consider
ed OF no Importance. Now we
were more concerned as to them
than we were about the ones YOU
give and we feel we were emit
tied to that part of the news as
soon as it was available. Hun.
dreds, yes, majority of the
voters of the county are against
the whiskey interests; against
the Shylocks and crooked inter
asts, and spend much of their
time during 364 days of the year
talking and working against
hem. Then for a few miser-
able reasons thus resolve them
selves into molly-coddle and
on election day go and vote for
such men as w. j. Stone,
or their cohorts and such
men as Otto Steifel, Adolphus
Busch, d. r. Francis, or some of
that class, knowing at the time
it is contrary to their convic-
lions of right and justice. Why
work for county unit and for
any restraint of the whiskev
traffic and then vote for a party
that is against you?
Why denounce usury and
graft and then vote to sustain
itY Such conduct is greater
nonsense than to buy powder
and then fire your gun in the
air. One thousand such votes is
not worth as much as one vote
that is cast for what is believed
to be right.
The man that voted the Pro
hlbition ticket voted for what he
believed to be right and his vote
counted one. A vote for the Pro
gressive ticket showed there was
one man willing to stand alone
II necessary every day in the
year for good government.
Few or many we feel we were
entitled to an early report.
Resp't.,
Fl. H. Sturgeon.

Against Women's Rights

Laddonia, Mo-, Nov. 16.--I
noticed in the Message that j..
w. Peck is against "Women
Suffrage" and his wife views
the matter as he does. We do
not need to lose them, or to
have them ever change their
minds. If women of today were
what they ought to be and would
realize that to be woman
meant to be ON the right side of
all moral questions we would be
glad to commit the welfare of
the nation to their keeping. But,
alas. how far they have fallen
from the heights of modesty and
purity which should character,
ize the mothers of our great
America. And we do not know
to what extent sin in all of its
forms would be carried if they
were encouraged to an unlimit-
ed privilege. When we have
come to the point where our
mothers and sisters are over
stepping the bounds Of true
womanly rights and are ventur
ing too far into the realm oil
masculine privileges" we ar,
in a most lamentable condition
as a Nation.

Lincoln deliver his famous Freeport
speech in his debate with Stephan
\. Douglas is III. b. Rogers, county
treasurer. Mr.. Rogers lived near
F%reeport at that time aud travelled
several miles TO hear the debate. Mr..
Rogers also has the unique distinc-
ton of having voted twice for Lin
coin for president. The first time
was in the fall of 1860 and was the
lifirst time MIR. Rogers V e cast Il
vote. Four years later while in
Carson City. Nevada, Mr.. Rogers
again voted for Lincoln and his one
regert is that Lincoln's assassination
prevented him casting a third vote
for u martyred president.
