WOMEN FARMERS

\ woman and a real farmer. oh
yes, there are thirty-five of them
meeting in Columbia this week, and
they call themselves the Women
Farmers Club" These women are
not merely interested" in farming.
nor are they the wives, mothers or
Sweethearts of farmers. They are
farmers. No woman other than one
who actually owns and manages her
own farm can qualify for membership
in the club.
In these days of motor plows and
steam driven machinery. it is a prac-
teal and possible thing for the wom-
an farmer to operate her own farm
from A to lizard" without masculine
help. and her keener woman's insight
enables her to farm in a most efficient
manner.
'It's a simpler and an easier thing"
says a Missouri coed, 'tO drive hay
rake than to cook for hungry haying
hand, and my sisters and | would rath-
er do it, There are four of us. and We
help with the haying rather than do
the extra amount of house work
caused by haying hands"
Any woman knows that driving
riding plOw is as a rest cure compared
10 doing the family wash or the Satur-
day baking. but somewhere between
the time of Ruth, the sweet cleaner"
and the beginning of the twentieth
century, the women folks got slipped
up on and came out holding the sack
and the housework.
Here's luck and good crops to the
woman farmer of Missouri,

THEY LEARN TO CARE FOR CARS
Farmers Hear First Lecture ON Keen.
ing Farm Automobile.

About fifty automobile-owning farm
ers listened yesterday afternoon to a
practical lecture by Walter c. Thee,
a junior in the School of Engineering,
an expert automobile mechanic, on the
Care of Farm Automobiles. No
course in automobile engineering is
offered in the regular curriculum of
the University, but this year two lee
lures on practical phases of the sub
ject were included in the Farmers
Week program.
What lies beneath the hood of an
automobile said Mr.. Thee, lis to
many owners, especially those who
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1916-01-07

live in the rural districts, about as
familiar as are the unearthed ruins
of Pompeii. 1t is important that the
farmer, not near a garage or within
reach of an expert, should have an
understanding of his car, aside from
steering. Sensible care of the motor
and accessories not only save time and
money but lengthen the life of the
car"
Mr.. Thee is preparing an article on
tire care of farm automobiles which
will be published in the March issue
of Corn, an agricultural magazine of
Iowa.

STAR OF THE MEET


Short sprint-Keene Scored in
Every Event-Track in Poor Condi-
ton
The well balanced track team of
the keene high school won the second
annual track meet of the Glover
league Saturday afternoon on the Val
ley fairgrounds in Brattleboro. Keene
scored III every one of the Is events
and made a total of u SO points. Yer
mont academy with its clever team of
only five boys nosed out Brattleboro
for second place, scoring a total of
- 10 points to 81 SO for the local
team, while the Bellows Falls team
traIled with l l-6 points as the sum
total of the ability of its athletics.
Last year Brattleboro won with %
points. keene scored SO and won sec
ond place. Vermont academy was
third with p and Bellows Falls s ored
only one point.
Everywhere except close to the pole
the track was in bad condition for
foot racing and Il strong wind handi-
capped the runners badly i'm the dis
lance runs while it benefited them
slightly in the sprints Horses had
been worked out on the track since
the rain ceased and it had not been
brushed, which made the footing es-
peclaIly in the home stretch, very
uncertain.
Hobart Of Keenc. who was looked
upon by his mates as n sure point
winner in the high hurdles and weight
events, was the victim of an accident.
He attempted to catch Hall at the
finish of the 220-yards dash and was
badly spiked in the foot as result.
lie was taken to the hospital. where
his illuries were dressed. FortunateI,-
his enforced withdrawal from the sew
erai events in which he was entered
did not initiate against Keene 5
chances for his mates were amply able
to earn enough points.
Last Year Winners Absent.
Not much had been said about the
chances Of the BrattIeboro team, which
did not have a single point winner of
last year in the membership. Richmond
and Winchester, both veterans and fast
on the track, failing to come out for
the team this season. When Moran
began his day 5 task of establishing
himself as the best prospective all
round athlete BrattlcDoro HIGH has
had on the roster in many years. there
were those who claimed that there wa
chance for first place, but the lack
OF any weight men or first string men
IN the long runs was too great a haadi-
cap for Moran and his aids TO over
come.
This is not detracting a bit from the
remarkable showing of the small team

TESTATOR'S SANITY
MATTER OF DOUBT
Testimony Shows He De.
sired To Suicide While
At Hospital

Following the taking of testimony
of the witnesses to the will of the
late Henry G.. Jones Probate Judge
p. L. Wilkins refused Tuesday to ad-
NIT the document to his court
Judge Wilkins states that this is
the first time he has had occasion to
refuse probate to will during the
term of his office which covers a per-
iod of four years. His immediate
predecessor, Judge p. A. Berry, states
that, during the years he served in
the office, he had occasion only twice
to refuse to probate a will.
This makes the action Of Judge
wilkins unusually interesting and the
elements which influenced him in his
decision are, accordingly, worth repe-
tition.
1t seems that testator on July s,
1S16-when the will was drawn-was
a patient at the NJ. e S. hospital
After writing the will, he asked his
nurse, Joseph l.. Shearn, to sign the
same and procure another witness,
which the latter did in the person Of
DR.. Virgil l.. Fisher
This latter witness testifies that he
was not apprised of the fact that it
was a will he was witnessing, al
though Shearn knew it to be such.
In the light of this, Judge wilkins
held that the document was improp-
erly executed and could not, accord
ingly, be admitted to probate.
Another consideration that influ
enced Judge Wilkins in his decision
was the doubtful sanity of the testa-
tor at the time the will was drawn.
Testimony showed that decedent was
very much depressed and had de-
sire to commit suicide, even going to
the extent of asking if this could not
be done by him.
Robert c. Jones is the sole bene-
flciary, being left house and lot in
the Lewis addition to Mt. Vernon,
and will take an appeal from Judge
wilkins decision.

COMMISSION
FORM, RATHER THAN CITY MAN
AGER PLAN, ENDORSED BY
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
COMMITTEE FOR MT. YER
MONS USE.

'If there is to be any change in
the form of city government" re-
ported William H. Banning at the
MONDAY luncheon Wednesday of the
chamber of commerce, Our commit
tee recommends the commission form
rather than the city manager plan"
Mr. Banning was member of a
special committee, composed of Rev
L. w. Mulhane and w. ]. Smith, in
structed to investigate the various
forms of city government adaptable
for the use of Mt. Vernon and report
back.
In his talk he called attention to
the fact that, of the SIS thousand
paid in taxes, only 1929 goes toward
the operating expenses of the city.
AS remedy, he suggested that the
budget commission allow more mon
ey for this particular purpose.
Mr. Banning expressed some doubt
as to the advisability of change
from the present form President
Jay r. Clutter of city council and 9TH
ers also spoke.
