land he purchased from Charles
DUNN. south of CentraIia, in Au-
gust of this year. Mr.. Gray tells
the Courier that he believes land
around Centralia will sell very high
with another good crop. Gray says
that when Wilson gets a bill through
so the farmer can borrow money on
their farm at A and 6 per cent in
terest that every acre of ground in
this section will advance in price
by leaps and bounds. Have you
noticed" said Gray. that in the last

Big Price For Mules.

The highest price for mules in
Cole county was established yester-
day when Glen Ware sold to Henry
Sundermeyer of Galloway county
two iron gray mules for the sum of
$500. The mules were purchased
from about Marion county and we're
raised in this county. They weigh
ed 1900 pounds and were in splen-
did condition.
In Mr.. Wares memory, and he
has been 10 the business many
years, this is the highest price ever
paid for a span of mules in the
county. 1t is perhaps as high as
ever paid in any other county in
Central Missouri. Capital News.

whether or not pumpkins are a
good green food for laying hens,
the editor of the poultry depart
ment in the Farmers Home Jour-
nal says: we are feeding pump
kins now to our laying hens and
are getting eggs every day. We
fed them last season to some yard
ed fowls and we found that they
layed heavy while feeding pump
kins. We cut the pumpkins open
and sprinkle wheat bran over the
flesh and the hens will eat of this
when they have already eaten a
square meal on something else.
Pumpkins are fine for fowls of any
age during the winter months

about their business and to come

those especially trained farmers
working along various lines of farm

The Present and Past CT Passes.


A railroad man down in Texas
almost broke the heart of tic editor
of the EIpaso Times by sending
him pass for 1855 days of good
cheer in 1914" The heart-break-
ing part. of course, was the sad
recollections thereby recalled of
other. but different kind of passes
formerly received by the same ed
itor from the same railroad man
about time of this month in the
years gone by
1t has been several years since
the annual for newspaper men
was relegated to the scrap heap
and both railroads and newspapers
are just as good as they used to be.
1t was quite true that for many
journalists passes were bad things
FROM a personal economic stand
point. They encouraged long rail-
road journeys that were taken be-
cause they didn't cost anything"
though in reality they cost a good
deal more than could be afforded.
One has to eat and sleep while
away from home and time is worth
something.
Whether the real reason for abol-
ishing passes has been justified is
hardly a question. But the man.
ner of that justifiCa alton may be a
little surprising. For instance, it is
significant that now, several wears
after the passing of ANIMALS, there
are more newspapers throughout
the entire country advising that
railroads be allowed to raise their
rates than there ever were while
passes were in vogue. UndOubted-
ly many honest journalists were so
afraid people would suspect that
they were influenced by free rides
that they leaned over backwards"
and feared to say many things in
favor of the railroads that deserved
to be said. This fear has been leg
islated out of existence and it is a
good thing for the railroads and
consequently for the country, -Jop-

The best indication for 1914 be-
ing a wonderfully prosperous year
is that determination of everybody
to make it so. The world is what
we make it. Therefore if the same
spirit of optimism continues as has
been almost universal for the first
few days of of 1914 then there need
be no fear for business prosperity

YOUR DAUGHTER

If your little girl wants to attend
religious services held in the evenings
you should see that she is properly ac
companied to and from church by {
mature and responsible person. Little
girls from thirteen to seventeen years
of age should not be on the streets UNI
chaperoned after nightfall and should
not attend public places, even churches
without their parents or some grown
up designated by their parents to act
as escort.
1t is not fair to your little daughter,
NO matter how earnestly she desires
it, to permit her to be away from her
home during the evening hours ex-
cept when she is in the company of a
discreet and well-behaved adult. II
is Just as important that she be escort
ed to and from church as 1t is that she
be escorted to and from dances and
parties.
Nothing is quite so lovely, so in
effably precious as a modest, choice
girl just coming into maturity. Moth
ing should appeal so instantly to every
chivalric or protective impulse in any
human being. To see some parents
careless about the company their lit
tie daughters keep. careless about
their hours of coming in at night.
careless about their department on the
streets is one of the painful, every
day experiences in Moscow.
1t is not conceivable that any ia
Their or any mother has SO many daugh-
tiers that even one can be spared to
become the victim of lax discipline, in
and indulgence. The thought
is monstrous.
Do not make the common mistake |
of supposing that because your daugh-
ter is on her way to religious services
she is any the less in need of your
presence and your protection. The So
ciety of a grown-up may not appeal
to her, and she may pout a bit at the
discipline, but you can afford to bear
the little burst of i'll humor if you get
as a result a well-behaved, right-mind-
ed, innocent young daughter.

Tribute to j. II. HaMley

MOSCOW, Idaho, Sept. 29.-To Each
and All of the Star-Mirror Readers
Mr. James II. Hawley delivered an adj
dress at Eggan's hall last night. He
is the candidate for U. S. senator in
the approaching election for the senate
congress and the state. What he had
to say on present-day issues was well
worth your while. 1t was of great in
terest and paid you as well as it did
to those who listened to the speeches
of Lincoln in the days before the Civil
War. Democrat or republican, pro-
gressive or socialist this assert, what
Lincoln was, said and did for the ma
ton bore the same fruit, had the same
value for the American people as
Hawley is, says, has done and will
do for the people of Idaho. Their
careers are alike in many ways.
Lincoln was born to the school OF
want His early days were such of
hard and honest toll in the woods with
an axe on the Ohio and Mississippi ri
vers on a fiat boat with oar and rud-
der. Thus his ENGAGED genius develop
ed and made him at last the saviour
and safe guide of the nation.
Hawley at Is came to Lewiston in
1862 going up to the placers of Flor
ence and Warren. His trust relied on
doing his full duty, on pluck and luck,
sharing the good and bad of those days
and places alike with the pioneer mi
ners of early Idaho.
Hard work, the necessity to keep at
it, forced to economize in time and
money, throws one on his wits to i'm
prove and make the best of conditions,
puts one on the resource of thinking,
thus sharpens and polishes the mind
and the experience will give one i'll
return-that is if not a fool-good
sound Judgment a well balanced mind
on all matters Eminently so is this
Hawley's case.
There is not a man in Idaho who
has spent so much of his time and
rightly used in his own and the states
and development None 9th

people from the laborer up to the bank
err as we'll and better than Hawley
His views and opinions are sound, I'M

which | feel like naming wisdom, all
around justice.

THE LOGICAL CANDIDATE

William Morgan, non-partisan can
didate for the supreme court of Idaho
is the logical candidate to support and
should receive great majority of the
votes cast at the November election
Mr.. Morgan is the logical candidate
because he resides in the north and
because the north with it's peculiar
problems, is not now represented on
the bench except in the person of a
Judge who will be out of office in Jan
uary.
Justice Sullivan's home is in the
south-central part of the state. JUS
tice Stewart came from that same sec
ton. Judge Walters, Mr. Morgan S
competitor, is from the same territory.
The vast north with it's great re-
sources, its varied industries, and its
peculiar legal problems has been rep
resented for many years past on the
supreme bench by only one person,
Justice Ailshie. His successor should
be a northern man. The south should
not have a superiority of representation
in the supreme court while the north
is entirely unrepresented.
Mr.. Morgan is rated as an excellent
lawyer, a broad-minded man, a hard
worker, and person thoroughly ia
miliar with the class of legal prob
lens that will originate in the north
and that will demand for their solution
and investigation a particular kind of
training and acquaintance.
Mr.. Morgan is the logical choice
of all the people of the state for the Of
flee of justice of the supreme court.
