that of State treasurer, claiming
that an efficient clerk can take care

1t was not long time ago when
the claim went broadcast into every
nook and corner OF the State that
nobody wanted certain candidate
for senator but the people. The vote
has been counted and now let's
see who the people did want.
Neither Hughes, the Republican
candidate for presldent,no Graham,
candidate for governor, headed the
list, but the man whose public life
was held up before the people in
every phase Of disparangement, and
picked and twisted, and placed in
every light to show base and selfish
motives, stood the test of public
scrutiny, and at the polls received
the emphatic approval of the people.
Yes, the people certainly wanted
Carroll S. Page for U. S. senator to
the tune of 47,362 votes that he re-
ceived against Miller, democrat, A.
956, making Pages plurality 32,406,
as against around 5000 for Hughes
and 26, 1000 for Graham. you cam

strange ideas get into the Uranium
of political aspirants who try TO
climb into office by tearing down the
life work of their opponent. Some

This village is certainly fortunate
in having R. r. Y. M. C. A. This
is emphasized when we see how
firmly it is established and the good
work it is doing. Associated with
the railroad is the local field in its
work of maintaining this organiza-
ton, and its membership is made
up from both. There probably is no
better equipped r. r. Y. NJ. c. A.

ganization the Island Pond people
have shown their characteristic unity
of action, zeal and determination
which they put into every project
for public good, and have made it a
splendid success. 1t is a matter of
no little pride that Island Pond can

of the work of the office and thus
reduce the cost of operating that de-
partment. This may look good at
first thought, but is it possible to
to keep adding to the Office of state
treasurer, secretary of state, and so
on, without increasing the salary for
those offices? Is it wise to bunch
this work where muah. of it will re-
ceive only divided attention? Is not
the office of tax commissioner of suf-
ticlent Importance to require the I'M
divided attention of the commits
sioner? We believe in retrench-
ment, but not such kind as this,
where there is something more evil
dent than retrenchment. If there
are people who want to cut off
Charles Plumley's head, politically
speaking, come out into the open.
Be men! Plumley has been a most
efficient and energetic tax commits
sioner. He has done his work faith
fully and we'll and there is no valid
reason to knife him. We feel his
activity in the recent senatorial pri-
mary was unwise, but there is no
evidence that it caused the work of
his office to be less faithfully per-
formed. We are free to admit that
the real cause for this activity on
the part of Mr.. Plumley seemed un-
justifiable to US, for the Plumleys,
father and son, have received much
from Senator Page in the way of
boosting them into public patronage
and political honors. This, however,
is something the public has nothing
to do with so long as their conduct
as public officials has been of the high
standard the Plumleys have main
tanned. We also admit that Charles
Plunlley as coiner of campaign
slogans and political phraseology,
showed remarkable poor judgment,
but there is no evidence that this in
any way caused lack of efficiency as
tax commissioner, or should be held
against him as a public official. If
the Republican party is going to
! stoop to such vindictive and drastic
methods as is generally believed
prompts this retrenchment in the
office of tax commissioner, then it is
evident there are certain other les
sons for it to learn which its pig
Medicines and foolishness has failed
to take in from the happenings to the
party in the past four years. Bah!
Let's be men and fight in the open.

somewhat against an overflow at that
place. The afternoon rally of the
Democrats in their big tent at the
same place is conservatively estimat-
ed at 1000, or double the number at
the Republican gathering, while at
night of the same day, the big tent,
with a seating capacity of over q
500, was crowded, all the seats being
occupied and all the availing stand
ing room filled, with an overflow ex-
tending far beyond the tent. The
crowd is variously estimated at from
1000 to 5000, and the greatest inter-
est and enthusiasm was manifested.
That doesn't look much like State

ans representation that "the great
Lead Belt territory in this county
will swing strongly to the Republi-
cans this fall" is based on anything
else than yearning wish sans the
expectation which goes to make up a
hope.

average yields or more than one
fifth better than average yields finds
it harder to make a success of his
business. With less than average
yields he gets no profit from crop
production; with more than one
fifth better than average yields he is
usually paying more than the in
creased yield is worth to get that
yield.
Another factor of Importance which
limits size of business is the system
of farming which the man is follow
ing. In extensive farming regions
like most of Missouri a man can put
too much labor on an acre of ground
or he can put too little labor on that
acre. A two-hundred acre farm may
readily be no more efficient than a
hundred-acre farm because the man
on the two-hundred acre farm does
not farm the land while the man on
the hundred-acre farm farms it right.
The farming system which furnishes
2 to 2.3 days Of productive labor per
acre was found to be the best in the
johnson county region.
All the above points are discussed
fully in Bulletin 140 of the Missouri
Experiment Station.-O.

Station.

FALL MANAGEMENT OF BEES

1t is not generally known that the
Missouri bee collects and stores under
favorable conditions nearly a million
dollars worth of honey each year.
According to gthe records of the Mis-
souri, Bee Keepers Association, there
are approximately 100000 colonies of
bees in the State owned by 10000
beemen and bee keepers. There is a
distinction between a beekeeper who
cares for his bees and Il beekeeper
who merely owns bees, and unfor-
tunately the latter are in the major
ity. Those who are in the latter
class probably have a few prehistoric
gums or boxes with cross sticks nailed
inside or possibly even movable comb
hives tilted over on one side and with
out shade except for that furnished
by weeds which are allowed to grow
up around them.
Even with all of the neglect which
the bees receive they help materially
to increase or rather save the products
of the State, to say nothing of their
unreasonable value to horticulture
in the polarization of fruits. In pro-
portion to size there is no comparison
between the value of the products of
the Missouri bee and the famed Mis-
souri, hen and at the same time the
bee feeds itself. However, the bee is
a more delicate creature than the hen
and cannot withstand the too-often
inexcusable neglect which it receives.
If you are beeman now is the time
to consider plans for getting your
bees ready for what may be long,
cold winter With the first killing
frosts the bees chance to store fur
ther supplies is ended, and if through
neglect the colony is weak and un-
provided with supplies and a suitable
home for the winter, see to it that
these necessities are promptly pro-
vided. For wintering they must
have plenty Of honey, not to exceed
thirty or forty pounds for a strong
stand, a dry home of hive and pro-
lection which will prevent sudden
changes of temperature. Make sure
of these three points Immediately and
then plan to become real keeper,
il only in small way, next spring by
necessary up-to-date
methods and equipment, There is
on the farm which returns
as much value and profits for the
small capital that need be invested as
half dozen well cared for colonies

GARDNER STUDYING
GOOD ROADS

Colonel Frederick D. Gardner never
misses an opportunity to spend his
valuable time in useful, unselfish SER
vice. On his first visit to Europe, his
first long vacation, several years ago,
he put in his time posting himself
upon the subject of rural credits. His
purpose was to be of service to the
farmers of Missouri, and the result
was the Gardner Land Bank Bill, a
measure that antedates the Federal
land bank bill recently signed by
President Wilson. On his present
visit to California, Col Gardner, as
soon as his sick wife had improved
sufficiently for him to get away for
a few days, began the study of the
wonderful highways built by that
State within the last ten years at a
cost of $70,000.000. He returns to
Missouri with better working knowl-
edge of good road construction and
AS Governor he will ap-
ply his knowledge.

MACHINE-MADE CANDIDATES

When the reader considers how
Judge Lamm got his nomination for
Governor, it i'll behooves the Sedalia
Capital, John E. Swanger's newspa-
per, to call Frederick D. Gardner a
"machine-made candidate" ,,.. ...
Swanger probably can see nothing
but machines" since his own "bust-
ed" and the larger steam roller, built
by st. Louis ward healers, ran over
the country voters and gave the NOM
nation to his rival.
How Col. Gardner could be charged
with having a machine is tommyrot,
when the fact is considered that he
has never held public office, and an
nounces that when he has served his
term as Governor he will never seek
public office again.
Gardner does not need a machine.
He did not need one in winning the
nomination which came from the
country voters. The city vote mere
ly increased his plurality. AS Gov
ornor ne will not seek to build up a
machine because he will be out of
politics after four years.
Judge Lamm, on the other hand,
owes his nomination to Ed Koeln,
Brewer Otto Stifel and Jep Howe, all
spoilsmen and notorious party bosses
in st. Louis. They delivered" the
votes through practices that have
made st, Louis one Of the worst gov
erned cities in America.

Henry Ford, one of the largest sin,
gle employers of labor in America
complimented President Wilson on the
eight-hour law. By the way, Mr.
Ford was one of the candidates fol
the Republican nomination for Pres
ident and carried his own State, but
now he is out in support of Mr.. Will
sons reelection. Michigan is one of
the sure Republican States, the nor
NAL Republican majority there being
anywhere over 100000. What if all
of Mr.. Ford's employees were to fol-
low his example, what a shaking of
dry bones there would be in Michi-
gan.

WHAT IS A OOD-sIzED FARM?

A profitable farm business must
be a good-sized business. A good
sized business does not always mean
a large number of acres-although it
usually does. By good-sized business
is not meant farms of two or three
thousand acres. A good-sized farm in
Missouri need not be more than 400
acres. Some businesses on much
smaller farms are big enough for sat-
isfactory profits.
A man on a good-sized farm can
make profit more easily than man
on a small farm. He can employ
men, horses, and tools more efficient
ly, can follow good cropping sys-
tenn more easily, and can have more
lines of work so that his risk of loss
is less. A more regular supply Of
labor and better distribution OF cap
itsl is possible. These are some OF
the reasons fer the better chances OF
success with the larger business.
The number of acres operated is
not the only measure Of size Of bus
mess, The man with tco heavy a
capital Investment may think he has
a large business when in reality It is
very small. The investment Of the
average farm of q region is the SAT
est guide fer that Community. A
man with . large number Of acres
and not enough capital to operate
them is much worse off than il he
had fewer acres and enough capital
to handle them efficiently Every
acre must be farmed enough but not
TOO much.
Another factor which may limit the
size Of business is the productivity Of
The land. The men on farms of ay-
orage productivity and up to one
fifth more than average are the for
tunate ones. The man with less than

Judge Lamm says if he is elected
governor he will take the election
board and police of st. Louis out of
politics. To what extent they may be
in politics, as a "hill-billy" we do not
pretend to know, but to trust one who
has shown himself in this campaign
to be such an intense partisan is ask
ing too much. When did Republicans
ever fail to use whatever trust was
imposed in them to turn it to parti-
san advantage, and not always in
legitimate way? When Mr.. Hadley
was elected Governor it was an ac-
cidert, the Democrats electing all the
other State officers, but he at once be-
gan to so manipulate the boards Of
election and police of St. Louis as to
roll up sufficient majority in that
city to give the State to the Repub-
leans. Judge Lamm is the same sort
Of partisan that Mr. Hadley proved
to be, and the people would
rather trust d successful business man
like Mr.. Gardner to correct any IT.
