From MIR. Scoggln.

Editor Register-It has has been
some time since you have heard from
me and / have something that think
is very important for all farmers to
know in this part Of Southeast Mis-
souri,, especially Iron, Reynolds, and
Wayne counties. In my judgment
there should be no more butter sold
for 10 and % cents. AS we have no
regular payroles in our county, we
can make a regular payrole every
day to consume the produce from
these counties. We have been trying
it here at Glover. We have some
good cows that we didn't care to sell,
and my wife would have them at
tended to, and she made from to 10
pounds of butter per week. The lat
ter part Of December, I carried z
pounds to Ironton, as fine butter as
you ever looked at, and was offered
the full amount Of 221S cents cash per
pound for it. said to the gentleman,
"Itis very kind of you to offer me
that, but ! have none to sell at that
prioe.n This made me go to thinking
again, as you are aware that ! have to
think more than great many other
people, and / decided to get a Separa-
tor and try the butterfat, and took
the matter up with the Fox River
Butter Co., in st. Louis, and they
quoted me butterfat at 33 cents per
pound. This looked much better to a
Missourian than 22% cents. went
TO investigating the matter further
and found that the express company
would carry 100 pounds of this cream
70 st. Louis for % cents, and return
the cans. Imust stop here and say Ia
you that the express company has in
stalled an express office here at Glow
er, with your humble servant as
agent.
We received the Separator and our
cows give 10 gallons Of cream per

REV. J. F. MILBANK rector of St.
Paul's Episcopal Church at Kellington,
Kansas, writes as follows in the st.
Joseph, Missouri, Observer:
"You-ask for my opinion in regard
to this great issue. First, let me say,
l dislike prohibition intensely. To my
mind it is all wrong, or at least it goes
about that which it desires to accom-
plsh altogether in the wrong way. To
my mind prohibition is tantamount to
moral weakness. | have seen a great
deal of it-have watched its comings
and goings, and have even done my
best as just minded man, to see
reason in it. To me it stands weighed
in the balance, and as working fact
or, even in that which it desires to
accomplish or promote, found sadly
wanting. believe nation of pro-
hibitionists would be nation Of
! hypocrites. Prohibition breeds and
fosters suspicion among neighbors. 1t
means behind doors.' 1t means all
that is not open and above board. 1t
not only breeds sort of secretiveness
of ones actions, but, worse still, il
introduces condition repulsive to
any free English speaking citizen.

cusable; but | fear and loathe pro-

1T suits my taste, does the follow
ing pronouncement of the Sikeston
Standard. "Beware the Greeks bear
ing gifts" Of any sort, more especially
in the form of advice. 1t is a good
thing to reject the counsels, not only
of the enemy, but also of the dicta-
torial, so-called independent paper
which basks in the lime-light Of dis
turbance and disaffection. When the
Democratic party ceases to possess
intelligence and virtue necessary to
choose faithful and competent leaders
it should step down and out:
The Standard isn't worried 30 very
much about the personel of the next
Democratic ticket. The men who are
to be chosen by the Democrats oi
Missouri in the next State primary
are going to be good men, because
Democrats don't nominate any other
kind; and they will be chosen by the
Democrats, too-not by the Repub-
lican newspapers of st. Louis and
Kansas City. Here and now, once anc
for all, we beg to state (for the benefit
of our journalistic brethren Of the Re.
publican party) that when the Demo.
cratic party places the seal of its
approval upon any candidate tha
man will at once become the candid
ate Of the Democratic newspapers o.

In a debate with Congressman
Shackleford last week Congressman
Gardner of Massachusetts heaped a
TRADE OF abuse upon Missouri. Gard

agent of the steel trust He denounced
Missouri as former slave-holding
State, and said that our people were
brought up "under the civilization Of
the shotgun" 1t is true that Missouri
was formerly slave State. The
younger generation may not know
that Northern states, too, long time
ago were slave states and only ceased
being so when it became more profit

the South than to retain them. More
than all, is not Massachusetts a slave
