Real Origin Of "Show me"

You'll have to show me I'm
from Missouri.
How often you have heard thai
phrase, alphabetically, how
tired you have grown of it. But
maybe there was a time wher
you wondered where it original
ed.
Matt KNAPP, a secret service de.
tective of Kansas City, says il
grew out of the enactment of the
Missouri marriage laws. Prior
to 1881, Missouri had about the
zero in marriage laws, Mr.. Knapp
says. Any couple who has the
inclination and could find a JUS
tice of the peace, or a preacher,
could join hands for better or
worse, and didn't have to say
anything to the state about it.
No questions were asked about
ages, or consent of parents, and
unwilling justices and preachers
seldom were found. Other ad-
joining states strove for years to
get Missouri to pass some state
marriage laws, for young people
from Kansas, Iowa, and other
states could step across the line,
boiler at a justice, and be marri-
ed in hurry up-style, and there
was no state regulation of it.
In 1881 a law was passed MAX
ing it a misdemeanor for a JUS
tice or a preacher to marry per-
sons not having a state license,
and setting the age of marriage
able women at Is years old. If
the applicant for the license did
not know the age of the BRIDE
elect, he had to produce her to
the license clerk and let him
Judge her age.
When the applicant went back
after the girl, she asked reason
Of course, why she had to go
along to get the license. When
told that the law required her
exhibition, she remarked. "Oh.
you've got to show me, nave
Jou?"
This occurred many times dur
ng the first year of the laws eff
'ectiveness, and became a by
word, according to Mr.. Knapp.

Duties Of the Department Of
Agriculture

1 We have several times~defnet
the duties of the Department O.

carried on by the oxrorinaen
stations eud The College of Agri
culture. Still we have inquire.

clad tc receive and forward tt
the force having that particular
work in charge. Valuable time
could be saved by the persons
seeking information if they I'M
derstood the character of work
done by the different forces for
agricultural development and
improvement.
The work of the Department
of Agriculture is primarily exc
utive or regulatory, enforcing
the agricultural laws enacted for
the protection of the agricultur-
al interests of the State. Infor-
nation on such subjects should
be requested of this department.
The work of the Experiment
Stations is original research
work in soils, crops, fertilizers,
live stock, dairying, fruits and
vegetables: developing facts,
solving problems confronting the
farmers that they are no t
equipped to solve for themselves.
Information concerning such
matters should be requested of
the Experiment Stations.
The College of Agriculture is
intended to teach the science of
agriculture, not only to the stu
dents attending the College, but
to direct the short course work
with the present day farmers.
The College of Agriculture is the
source from which we are to ex-
pect to secure our scientific
knowledge of agriculture. Also
We expect our county demonstra-
,ors, corn club organizers from
men trained in the College of
Agriculture.
While each force has its par
ocular line of work, there is and
hould be close cooperation of
'ffort, that the work of all the
orces be most effective.
Tennessee has as Dean of the
of Agriculture and Di-
ector of the Experiment Station

Cost of War

We talk a great deal about the
cost of war, but few of us real
ize what it means till we are
confronted by the actual figures.
According to an estimate made
by the librarian of the war de-
partment, the war in which the
United States has engaged from
the Revolution to this time costs
the country in dollars expended
for military and naval operations
a grand total of $11, 296, 1886, 4O6.
The Civil war alone cost us over
$40, 600. 600, 900, and thatestimate
does not enclude the property
and slave losses of the South,
nor the pensions paid since the
conflict. Thelast Mexican arcost
us $1O0, 100000 and the Spanish
war 1862, 1O1, 900.

During the month of MAY.
1914, a total of 280 acres of land
within the Sitgreaves National

the Secretary of the Interior and
will shortly be opened to entry

The lands thus listed were ap-
piled for individually by five

Forest Officer and found to be
more valuable for agriculture
than for Forest purposes.

who find their pin money scarce
have an excellent opportunity for
having full purses all of the time
by devoting their spare time to

Appomattox, Va. Nov. 5, 1914. Editor Argus:
 You have heard of Appomat- tox. No doubt all of your read CTS have heard of the place where the. sun of the. Confeder. acy went down never to rise again, carrying with it the hopes and aspirations of a generation of as brave a people as the world has ever known. From Appomattox the long, sorrowful tramp home, or to the place which was home when they en- listed, began. No doubt your father made that journey. Mine did, for he was a part of the army of Virginia.
 But what of Appomattox? It is a type of an old time South ern village, quite sleepy. satlsfl- ed. Possibly seven hundred people sleep beneath the skies Of Appomattox as each consecutive night comes on. There are a few modern residences, splen- did school building and a con- crete walk up to one side of the the street leading to the school. The most of the store houses are of the old type. though a few of them have been recently built. The people are a sociable. hos pitable sort, maintaining Vir- Rinia's reputation for hospitality of the '.ole" Virginia brand.
 I have been passing through Appomattox for several years but this is my first stop at the town made famous by the sur render of Lee to Grant. l sup

This. together with the grandner of the roses, now open in the yards of Monroe County flower lovers, the beau tiful bright sunny days, is enough to make person thankful and happy. even If cotton is of" little.
 From the tenor of Sheriff Milwee's letter appearing in last weeks ARGUS, violations of the law against blind tigering have got to stop. The past may go by as a dead issue if those who have the Revenue license will shut up. shop" and quit right now. That's fair enough and those who are inclined to indulge in tigering ought to ''get it" that Sheriff Milwee is not fooling" when he says they MUST QUIT. There isn't a lawyer in Monroe County who will defend a person charged with violating the temperance laws. The lawyers have all signed an agreement to that effect and now comes the final finish Milwee says they must go.

STOCK L
SWINE RAISING AS A BUSINESS
Breeder Should Not Make Il Second.
airy to Farming Operations
Why Many Men Fail.

In recent discussion OF the points
to be observed by hog breeder, w. F.
McFadden, secretary OF the American
Poland China Record association. said.
The hog man should make hog rails
ing his principal business; he should
not make II secondary TO his farming
operations, and II should be the cen.
trail idea around which revolve all his
active business operations. A hog
man should be hog man 365 days in
the year. He criticized those breeders
whose enthusiasm was shortlived, urg-
ing them to take pride in their bust
ness and in every little detail con-
corning It. He thought that crates
should be made light, good and at
tractive and that stationery should be
neat, to the point and Indicative OF
the methods of doing business. He
thought good stationery added dignity
to the business and made a good i'm
preston.
Concerning what TO raise, he said
that a good many hog men failed be-
cause they did not offer for sale the
Kind OF stock the buyers we're wanting
to buy. He appreciated that 1t was an
art for any man to recognize what
kind OF hog would be in demand and
be prepared to supply 1t. He urged
breeders to keep clear of fads and hog
bubbles. He believed that salesman
ship, says the Oklahoma Farmer, was
important and that 1t was only possi-
BILE to be good salesman by having
thorough knowledge OF individuality OF
animals as well as a knowledge Of
good business practices.
Talking about feeding and care. he
said that hog should be well bred
and that improvement was the result
Of good care and good feed. There
was no success without these and good
judgment in selection.
