HOW HE BOUGHT
AN AUTOMOBILE

Bowling Green, Mo-, June 23.-A
middle-aged man of Bowling Green
long addicted to drinking, went to Kee-
ley, determined to "kill or cure" He
was cured, came home and began to
save up the money each day he had
formerly expended for drink.
He carefully boarded these savings
in flour sack.
In less than two years, being seized
with the automobile craze, he negotiat-
ed with local dealer and completed
arrangements for the purchase of a
five-passenger, assuring the dealer
that the next morning he would de-
post the purchase price in cash with
the banker.
On the appointed morning the pur-
chaser arrived at the bonk bearing on
his shoulder large -four sack, and
deposited the contents in front of the
amazed cashier. He then proceeded
to count out in dimes, quarters, half
dollars and 81 bills, 81, 100.
1t required extra hands to make the
count.

JULY HINTS FOR
POULTRY RAIsERs


AS the chicks grow they need more
room. 1t does not pay to let them
crowd.
Beware of musty, mouldy, sour, or
decayed food. 1t is sure to cause
trouble.
Tough grass is of no value as a
green food. Better SOW some quick
craving crop.
Feed hoppers greatly reduce the
work. If they are kept filled, the
chicks will never go hungry.
If your chicks are not doing we'll,
something is wrong. Look out for
lice and for worms in the intestines.
Two-year-old hens had better be
sent to the market. They seldom pay
for their feed if kept over third sea-
son.
Grit and oyster shell should be in
cluded in the ration for both young
and old. To neglect this would be poor
economy.
Your stock will do better if not
compelled to pick their living with
the old. There will also be less trou-

state.
J. H. Dlckhrader Washington,

Experts Endorsements Of

Following Are Opinions Of Experts Who Are Familiar
with the Gardner State Land Bank Bill

J. D. Casebcer, editor Springfield,
Mo-, Laborer-The bill is primarily
OF benefit to the farmer, but it also
is of benefit to the laboring man in
the city, because it means more
food supplies at reasonable prices.
Anderson Craig, chairman Of
Senate Committee on Appropria-
tons, Forty-eighth General Assem-
bly, Of Missouri--If the amendment
making this law constitutional is
adopted by the people, think 1t
will be the greatest legislative en-
aetment in the history of the state.
L. T. Anderson, secretary of the
Missouri Retail Clothiers' Associa-
tion-Primarily the bill will benefit
the farmer. But indirectly II will
benefit the country merchant, the
laboring man and the city wholesale
dealer.
j. 7. Mitchell, banker and Bank
Commissioner of Missouri-The es-
adjustment of the State Land Bank
as provided in the Gardner bill will
prosper all classes of people.
