Investigate all the data obtainable on

tion in the city planning commission
zone.
The Farmlyn proposition was not
all the new commission had to keep
it busy to-day at that.
Just short time after the Farmlyn
plan was called to the commission s
attention, the body was called upon to
look over preliminary plan for plot
ting fifteen acres that is to be de-
veloped by the Rev. w. S. Harris.
To Develop Another Tract
This is not yet formerly named. 1t
covers the three blocks bounded by
Fifteenth and Eighteenth, Paxton
road and the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railroad near the Lynch and Jen-
nings property line.
Before January /, 1915, the Rev.
Mr.. Harris expects to have at least
100 modern two-story brick dwellings
with rear and side yards on his plot
and ready for occupancy. Plans for
fifty new homes at modern rentals
have been prepared thus far and it is
expected that the erection of at least
sixteen dwellings, in pairs will be
started at once.
The plot which was purchased by
the Rev. Mr.. Harris will be controlled
by the minister alone. 1t is his idea,
he said to-day, to lay out the little
section for the benefit of folks in
moderate circumstances who may
want comfortable little homes.

The Grain NreyH

/ Complaints are coming into the
office of the state board of aericul-
ture, Columbia. Missouri, that the
grain weevil is doing injury to wheat
in eranaries and elevators in many
instances where it has not been NOV
ed since being threshed.
Professor c. B. Hulcnison advises
fumieatine with carbon hi-sulphide
in tight eranary, bin or box. Use
proportion OF ten pounds to each
thousand cubic feet of space Pour
liquid in shallow dish and sci on top
of grain, closing bin tightly for one
TO two days.
Avoid breathing the gas, which is
dangerous TO all life and is highly
explosive under certain conditions
Bar the pipe, cigarette, lantern or
tire--and do not risk even a spark
from driving nail
The vapor or gas is more than
twice as heavy as air and will. in a
tight bin, settle down into the grain.
The fluid is cheap and can be bought
at drugstores. Uncertain results NAV
be expected if bin or box is not tight
and not well covered.--Secretary

kheaf vs.. the War

War in Europe boosts the ways of

ers OF the board of agriculture on
September l said; Five per cent de-
crease in wheat acreage for 1915"
The advance in selling prices of
wheat and the outlook for continued
war abroad mas since stiffened the
backbone Of the Missouri farmer,
and the outlook now is for an increas-
ed acreage of wheat over the earlier
outlook.
Federal and state authorities agree
that October is the deadline on
danger from Hessian fly in north
Missouri, and October IS in south
Missouri. Millions of fly maeeots
are working in the volunteer wheat
now in many sections. Sowing
earlier than the above dates invites
trouble All volunteer wheat should
be turned under at once. Wheat for
pasture, sowed early, is the king of

Mr.. Hensley stated that under the
former administration the committee
rooms Of our national capital were
infected by powerful Hobbies which
would connive and contrise every
conceivable scheme and plan TO in
timidate and hinder our committees
in their work, and prevent measures
of benefit TO the general public from
being reported favorable, thus caus-
ing the preparations of our congress
to lay in transition, in sunderland,

That under republican rule and
Cannonism the lobbies fiourished. be-
ing able to dictate practically the
kind and volume of legislative en-
actments, that under the former re-
gime more than a billion dollars
were spent for naval and military
construction and equipment, j. e.
for war preparation. and that this
immense sum when divided among
the states would be $300,00000 for
MissourlS part of this expense and
more than $50 900 90 for St. Francois
county alone, which sum would be
sufficient to build many miles of
rock road in our county,
MIR Hensley opposes such whole
sale waste Of our public funds which
could be used for many other more
worthy and beneficial purposes.
He further stated that the present
democratic administration had cur
tailed this immense outlay by reduc-
ing the amount of naval and military
construction, thus putting the gov
ernment on a more economical basis
as to expenses and yet not approach
ing the point Of parsimony; that the
business outlook of this country was
never better than now. if we could
only steer clear of entaneling al

maintain our neutrality
