Upton WINS THE
BRADLEY CUP

Centerville, Dec. 4. The first prize
winner in the short course corn show
was J. D. Upton, who thus gets the
J. A. Bradley 500 cup, besides the SIS
cash prize offered The cup was put
up to become the property Of anyone
winning it twice. Mr.. Upton and Amos
Bailey had won it once each and this
time was the decision between them.
Mr. Bailey was handicapped this year
in having his corn on the Soap Creek
bottom and the wet weather made it
impossible for him to get his usual
fine show quality. But in spite of this
handicap he took the worlds cham.
pionship at the San Francisco exposi-
ton on his white corn.
The first prize in the amateur class
went to Simple Bailey, the fifteen year
old son of w. s. Bailey Of Unionville.
Second went to Merry Bishop.
The result of the tests Of corn taken
from the fields about Centerville this
season was watched with much inter-
est. 1t was found that the corn show
ed more vitality than expected. Some
samples were bad, and in most there
were some weak or worthless ears.
But the tests showed that in this sec.
ton Of the state plenty of good seed
corn can be found, though it is impor.
tant that it be tested.

VALUE OF THE PRESS.

The supreme court of Missouri paid
marked tribute to the press OF the ma
ton in the course of decision rend.
cred at Jefferson City Thursday. The
case at bar dealt with the legality OF
Sunday publication and the court held
that publication any and every day
OF the week was proper because OF the
great value to the people Of the pub
lie press. The decision contained the
following comment:
1.-THE press imparts intelligence re-
garding the public health, public
morals and public safety and materl-
ally aids in the preservation of the
two former and in the defense of the
latter: it is the mouth-piece of the
statesman and lawmaker. 1t points
to the capable and honest official usu-
ally with just commentator and
singles out the inefficient and those
derelict in duty and, as rule, is at
the head Of those collecting and dis
bursting public charity
Moreover, the press is great edu-
Gator in literature, art and science.
Railroads, the street cars, the tele-
graph and the telephone have been
declared public necessities. The press
is a greater public necessity than all
Of them. In my opinion 1t ranks as
one Of the four great institutions of
the country, namely the home, the
church, the public schools and the
press"

late Dennis Hessian of this city, IN.
volving an estate estimated around
$4,000 and over which contest was
expected, was admitted to probate

not enough evidence to warrant a
fight. The greater returns Of the
estate are to be used, if necessary, for
the testator's brother, Jack, during
his life, when the bulk then remain
ing goes to the Catholic society here.
There are sixty cases on the trial
docket for this court term, the most
in the history of the county, so there
will be no lack Of work for the ses.
sion.

George w. straus, president Of the
American society for thrift, says that
the best way to train children In the
use Of money is to let them earn
money. Let them learn by experience.
Lectures on the earning and spending
OF money are valuable but insufficient.
T,.A actual experience of earning it
and spending it and of finding out
that when it is spent more must be
earned to take its place, is what
counts. When the child finds that
money is more or less dific to get,
he will not so readily spend it for
things he could as well get along

A Beneficent Side of War
The Stimulation of Research Work Toward the
Amelioration of Suffering
BY A. LA GARDE
Military
Surgery, Medical School; Professor Military
University

The outcome of this war will un-
doubtedly bring about benef1cent re-
suits to humanity In the research
work which is progressing for the dis
covery of better method Of wound
treatment. The laboratory Of Sir Aim
roth Wright Of the British army,
famous for his work on the value of
anti-typhoid vaccination which has
served to Danish typhoid fever from
armies, the laboratories of the Rookie
Teller institute for medical research
now at Champagne, France, and many
other research centers are hard at
work with plenty Of money and the
best talent that the scientific world
can afford, seeking to find means
which will ameliorate suffering, and
lessen the death rate from war
wounds.
At the beginning of the present
European war, infected wounds were
so frequent and fatal that the scienu-
fic medical profession was spurred to
renewed effort to combat what has al
ways been the curse Of military hos
pitfalls. That the surgeons are now
saving thousands of lives to the state
is heralded as another Of the many
triumphs of modern medicine.
Nearly all the war wounds of the
preseIs time occur from gunshot or
the feet Of high explosives. Wounds
firm cutting implements frequent in
former times, occur so seldom at pres
ent that the number is negligible.
Infection In gunshot wounds is
prone to develop in wounds that are
attended with lacerated and torn It's
sues such as we find in the wounds
inflicted by shell fragments, shrapnel
balls, hand grenades, and the military
rifle at short range. The wounds from
the latter are particularly ragged and
torn, especially when the bullet when
travelling on high speed encounters
a resistant structure, like the middle
of the thigh bone. Such wounds in
the nearby ranges-up to 500 yards
are classed my military surgeons as
wounds with explosive effects" Ex-
animation Of the parts gives the ap-
pearance of force having acted from
within, such as might have occurred
from an explosive bullet. In these
wounds one finds the bone broken
into many fragments which have
been driven in the flesh In all direc-.
lions. The exit wound is very large,
as much as four and five
inches in it's longest diameter. The
damage to the soft parts closely re-
sembles the tearing and mangling BY
a piece Of shell. Wounds with these
characteristic features are invariably
infected by all kinds Of microbes
which cause extensive Inflammation.
They exhibit fever and blood poison
ing unless they are attended to early
and carefully by surgeons, under fav-
orable environment. The close fight
ing in the present war, and the use
of field artillery to the exclusion Of
other ornaments in most of the COM
bats, causes larger number of badly
wounded than has ever been
noted in previous wars.
The microbes that invade war
wounds are chiefly of the ordinary pus
