story about the man who refused to go
to church, saving he couldn't stand it
to hear preachers, preach politics.
One Sunday a woman visiting at
his home, towed him off to church. He
went in and sat down and after all the
prciiminarics, the minister announced
his text: The wicked will go to hell
with all the nations that disobey God.
The man got up and walked ont and
went home. His companion, however,
stayed till the end Of the sermon and
when she returned to the mans home,
she asked him why ne left church.
Just like l told you. He had to
preach politics and l can't stand it to
hear a preacher preach politics" the
man declared. :.
What do you mcan?'
Didn't he take as his text: The
wicked will go to hell with all the ma
tions that disobey Code he counter
ed"
Eyes, but where is the politics about
that? l don't see any politics in tnat."
and the woman smiled triumphant
ly.
"WelI, if the wicked have to go to
he'll, who in the hell can he be talking
about but the Democrats"
Mr.. Kitchen closed his address with
a prediction of victory and another
story on the Bull Moose party that

reply.
"Dead?' exclaimed the employer.

In his address, John f. Swanger of
Sedalia, candidate for the gubernatO-

jor administration for laying hands
upon the school funds after having
over appropriated the other revenues
Of the state.
He won an ovation as he described
the manner in which Republican adj
ministration is to cut down the over
head expense of running Missouri and
closed by striking the roads question.

By L. r. Johnson.

Every farm yard should have one or
more martin boxes so that this useful
bird may find a place and make its
home through the summer. The mar
tins go south after they have Matched
their young in the latter part of the
summer and return north again in the
first warm days of spring.
The boys should be encouraged TO
welcome these travellers by setting up
poles with boxes on top. The trouble
is that the English sparrow will take
possession Of the boxes if they are not
driven away. Watch out for them and
when you see them about the boxes,
turn the shot gun on them. That is
the best remedy we have found.
The martins are very useful birds as
we'll as beautiful and interesting, and
the farm yard will be much livclicr
and cheerful for their presence.

nave the money right away to realize
these roads that are essential.
I'VE ought to use our water ways.
We ought to nook our rivers up 10
the Great Lakes and make use of all
the water ways we have. In Europe
the people appreciate the value Of Wa
ter ways and : promise you that the
cay is coming when We viii be forced
70 use our water ways.
when the government has canal
lied such places as Southeast Missouri
and fixed the shore lines, the levees
may be built and the rich farm land
on either side may be used correctly.
Il believe in a liberal and fair
treatment for the railways Of this
country. Lei them have an opportu-
nifty to put in more double track, to
increase their terminal facilities, to
put in more equipment and prepare for
big work.
- predict that under a Republican
government that we are going to have
next year, We shall see such an in
crease IN business, that it will be pros
tratcd for lack of railway facilities
with which to handle it. In Kansas
City We hear that grain is being dump
ed on the ground at the stations for
lack Of ernpty cars for carrying it
away 10 elevators.
you will remember that in 1907,
business was seriously interferred with
on account Of lack of cars. The
same condition will arise next year.
THE question of transportation eX-
tends to the sea.
Here we are, We are butcher, baker
and candle-stick maker for the world,
and we haven't delivery wagons. We
cannot deliver our wheat. We are
paying As a bushcI on wheat exporta-
tons instead of the rate of cents that
obtains in times of peace.
If the United States mad not con-
centratcd its work on internal i'm
provcmcnt, we would not have been in
such condition for boats. Time was,
when the United States was we'll
known on the seas.
eve should adopt such legislation
as to stimulate the interest OF both
capital and labor into the entry into
the shipping business and that extra
40 cents freight charge on our wheat
will be paid to the farmer instead of
foreign shipping concern.
Il have no panacea for all these
shipping ills, but l know that it is
business GU 2stion and can be settled in
q business LAY. There should be some
encouragement for the people engaged
III that line in this country. | hope to
see domestic ships the, common prac-
ticc and not the exception. We pay
$5GO,0O0,000 in freight charges year
to foreign bottoms. Why not pay that
to cur own people? | wish to live to
see the day when American ships,
American crews, and the American
flag will be familiar sight in all
foreign ports as it once was"

/ Telephone companies seem to think
/ that they have a right to butcher up
the trees along the country roads IN
any way they please. Along the road
leading out Of Jackson towards Bur
! fCrdville we once saw many beautiful
shade trees that had half their tops
ruthlessly cut out to make way for
the wires. Such vandalism is crime
against the county.
Il teaches disregard for tree life, it
seriously impairs the beauty of the
road ard the comfort Of the traveller
and, worse of all, it convicts us of an
utter want of aesthetic taste.
Instead of receiving encouragement.
the tree that happens to stand along
side public road has been treated as
an intruder as a useless circumference
of public space and an injury to the
farm land across the fence. How DIFF
ferent it is in Europe, where people
have better appreciation Of the value
Of trees.
Along the public roads in many
parts of Germany trees are set out for
their fruit as we'll as shade and this
fruit is gathered and sold for the pub
lie benefit. Every tree is carefully
looked after and cared for. Is it not
time for us to be showing more re-
finement?

characterized the Republican party as

Some fine posters on Hog Cholera
have been published by the State Col
lege and arc to be seen tackled up in
public places. This is a move in the
right direction. Too much publicity
cannot be given all that pertains to
this disease that robs the farmer of
so many dollars. These posters arc
illustrated with pictures and contain
information of the highest value to
every one who keeps hogs.

Save The Trees, Urges Prof. Johnson

The butchery of trees along the
roads should be stopped and any abuse
of them should be reported to the
County Court which, it is to be hoped,
will see to it that such practices are
put stop to.

The grape vines should be pruned
before the sap rises. We can now do
such work at any time the weather will
permit. In most cases there is too
much bearing wood left on the vines.
In this case the vine overbcars; it sets
more fruit than it can properly ripen
and this damages both the quality Of
the fruit and the vine itself. Often
the grapes will not ripen evenly but
remain green and sour. The vine is
so exhausted that it cannot make
enough new wood for the next years
crop and sometimes dies out entirely.
When it is seen that there are too
many grapes for the vine, part of
them should be thinned out. They
need not be wasted but can be made
into Jelly or put up in jars for pies. In
pruning the grape, not more than or
4 canes of last summers growth, hay
ing about 50 buds in all, should be left
for fruiting. This is enough for the
average vine. If the vine is weak in
growth, less buds should be left; if
very vigorous few more may remain.

MOOSE HOLD PARADE
BEFORE INITIATION

A parade of Moose lodge members,
five blocks in length, was held last
night proceeding the biggest initiation
of candidates the lodge has held since
1912. Main street from Eleventh to
Fifth, and North and South A streets
which formed the line Of march, were
illuminated with red torches the
marchers carried. The parade was
headed by the Moose band.
. The class consisted Of 81 members,
the second biggest class taken into
the lodge since its organization in
Richmond Work was performed by
the regular ritualistic team. Limited
time prevented the old members from
offering a social affair for the new
members
Monday another class, probably of
SO members, will be initiated. No
parade will be held but after the
work, men in both classes will be
given a smoker by the lodge.
