IN WELLINGTON
Statements of Wellington Citi-
zens Are Always of Interest
to Our Readers.

To many of our readers the
streets of Wellington are almost
as familiar as those of our
own town, and we are naturally
interested to read of happenings
there. The following report
from a well-known and respect
ed resident will be helpful to
numbers of men and women
here in Lexington.
"0ne of my family had severe
attacks of lumbago and for
weeks at a time was confined
to his bed" says Mrs. C. E.. Wal
ton, Box 1872, Wellington, Mo.
During these spells his back
panied severely and the kidney
secretions were unnatural. Two
boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills
made a lasting cure"
Price so cents at all dealers.
Don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy - get Doan's Kidney
Pills-the same that Mrs. Wal
ton recommends. Foster-Mil-
burn Co., Propse Buffalo, N. Y.

A Chick Saving Hatchinr Coon

Twp
A combined Matching, brooding
and housing coop which is large
enough to accommodate four hens
and is as good as a 60 egg incu-
bator has been designed by the
Poultry Department of the Uni
versity Of Missouri. Farmers
who have used this coop have
pronounced it a success. This
coop does away with the little
GA" shaped coops which are
commonly given to hens after
they have Matched their broods
and which are soon outgrown by
what chicks remain after the
spring rains and rats have taken
their toll.
The coop is three feet wide, six
feet long, two feet high in the
rear and three feet high in front.
A door eight inches high runs
the entire length of the back so
as to permit easy access to the
hen. The front consists of four
little doors covered with rat
proof wire netting. These slide
up and down. Just beneath the
caves is a door a foot wide run
ming along the front. The open
ing made by this door is COW
cred with wire screen also. By
opening this door sufficient light
is afforded and also protection
from rains. In front of this coop
is placed four runways CORES
ponding to the four openings.
These are a foot high and three
feet long. They are covered
with wire screen also.
The coop can be used for hatch
ing and brooding. 1t is divided
by burlap frames into four COM
p%artments. The aim is to set
four hens in the back part of the
coop and keep food and water in
the runways in front. After
Matching the chicks from two
hens are given to one for brood
ing. Later when the hen weans
her chicks the remaining parti.
ton can be removed and the coor
can be used to house the young
stock for the remainder of the
season. 1t makes hen Matching
easier, and more efficient brood.
ing possible. 1t can be made rat.
proof very easily and can be NOV
ed from place to place with little
trouble.

Morris & Company Make Radical
Additions to Their Supreme"
Line.
An important step in the mar
keting Of food products is seen
in a recent announcement of
Morris & Company.
Having established a reputa-
ton for high grade goods in
their Supreme Hams and Bacon,
this firm, through the methods
Of their distribution and sales
force, is endeavoring to enlarge
their line with the addition of
products that have no direct re-
lation to packing house products,
such as Eggs, Poultry, Butter,
Sardines, Sauer Kraut, EvapO-
rated Milk, etc.
A forecast of the success of a
move like this is to be found in
the attitude which the dealer as
sumes toward it. If it affords
him and his customers an advan-
tage to be sought for, the ven
ture will receive his heartiest
support and cooperation.
That Morris & Company took
this factor into consideration in
planning the enlargement of
their line of food products is evil
denced in the manner in which it
affects both the dealer and the
consumer.
In the first place the dealer is
protected in the point of quality.
He can supply his customers
with a line of goods that bears
the brand of unquestionable
quality. In the second place he
can make his purchases for these
goods in a more economical man.
ner. Buying goods Of this char
acter from a half dozen sources
means heavy freight bills. Buy
ing them from one source means
a reduction in the number of
shipments and consequently
smaller freight bills.
1t is evident that all this works
to the advantage of the con-
sumner.
1t means much to the house
wife to know that she can buy so
many food products of daily use
with the same assurance that
she has bought her ham and her
bacon. Likewise it is important
to the dealer to be able to sup
ply these goods to his customer
and to be able to buy them
with economy that makes their
handling all the more satisfac-
tory. 'vv r''' ,a4
Although Morris & Company's
move may be regarded as a radi-
cal step to be taken by a packing
house, it is nothing more than
the logical result of trade condi-
lions which the name Supreme
has created. 1t is simply a mat
ter of taking advantage of a de-
mand and the suitable facilities
of supplying that demand.

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI
TWO NOTCHES
State Institution Goes Up From

Place Among State Uni

Place Among State Uni
versities.
Missouri is passing other uni
~versities in attendance. In the
last two years it has jumped
from nineteenth to twenty-frst
place. Nebraska has fallen
from thirteenth to eighteenth
place, Iowa from eighteenth to
twentieth and Minnesota from
fifth to twelfth place. None of
these neighboring universities
has made the striking advances
in entrance requirements and
standards made by the Univer-
sity of Missouri in recent years.
The order of size of some of the
larger universities is: Column
bia, California, Chicago, Wiscon-
sin, Pennsylvania, Harvard,
Michigan, New York, Cornell, Ill
nois, Ohio, Minnesota, North
western, Syracuse, Missouri,
Texas, Yale, Nebraska, Pitts
burg, Iowa, Kansas, Tulane, Gin
cinnati, Indiana, Stanford,
Princeton, Western Reserve.
Most, if not all, the universe
ties larger than Missouri have
very large summer enrollments.
Columbia had $500; Chicago, g.
1888; California, 3,179; Wiscon-
sin, 1902; Michigan, 1884. The
University of Missouri had less
than one thousand in the sum-
