On last Friday the case of State
of Mo. VS.. Otto Huitt, Constable Of
Randolph Township, charged with
having sold Intoxicating liquor to a
minor, was tried by jury which re-
turned verdict of guilty, assessing
his punishment at fine OF $40 and
costs.
The case attracted much attention
and the july by their verdict have
shown that our prosecuting attor-
ney has had little or no assistance
in Randolph Township.

the reason that the prosecuting at

IMPROVED METHODS OF COTTON
SELECTION.

The so-called running out" of va
rieties Of cotton is largely due to the
neglect Of the grower in selecting his
seed. Continued selection is neces-
sary to maintain the uniformity and
productiyeness of any variety of cot
ton, but the methods of selection us
ed in the past were such as to re-
quire SO much time and technical
skill as to be impracticable for the
farmer.
Simpler and more effective methods
have been developed and explained in

Farmers who will limit themselves
to the growing of one kind of cotton
and take the necessary precautions to
preserve the stock and avoid admix-
ture with other varieties, can pro-
duce better seed than they can buy
through any of the existing CONNER
cial channels. They can not only in
crease their own crops but gain adj
ditional profits by selling seed to
their neighbors. The demand for bet
ter seed is now very general and rep
resents an important opportunity for
the more intelligent farmers Of each
community. @

ADVERTISING ADVICE.
The growing value of the home
newspaper for advertising which has
chiefly been done in magazines is
noticeable in the big Chicago advertis-
ing agencies and offices of advertis-
ing managers.
ut used to be considered good ad-
vertising to cry merchandise by the
public crier," said Arnold Joerns, ad-
-s-tl Using manager of Chicago cor
poration. "Some merchants think
they have done all that is needful
when they have stenciled their name
and location on the fences, and 9TH
ers are satisfied when they have de-
faced the landscape with some bill
boards; but to my mind there is only
one way for retail merchant to push
his business and that is by telling his
story through space in the home daily

talking to customer face to fact
