Practical Results From Two.
Year Missouri Agriculture
Course.

Work offered in the two-year
winter course in the College Of
Agriculture of the University of
Missouri is exceedingly practic-
al. While every young man in
the State of Missouri who is al
ready farming or who is think
ing of going into farming is adj
vised to take the full four-year
course, if this cannot be done,
everyone is urged to investigate
the work given in the two-year
winter course.
Lawrence Ogden of Maryville
has had the following experience
to prove the practically of the
work. Soon after he had finish
ed the two-year course, Ogden
bought an 8 weeks calf at NOM
inal price. The calf was put on
a nurse COW and raised by meth
DDS taught in the course. He
was kept until he had developed
enough to show fully that he
was an unusual animal, and then
sold back into the same herd
from which he came for $4,000,
almost seventeen times as much
as was paid for him.
The selection and development
of live stock, together with the
fattening of hogs and cattle for
the market and the curing and
b%utchering of them for home use
is taught in this course with
animals selected and bred es-
pecially for the purpose, and
kept on the University farm al
Columbia.
The man or boy who has had
a great deal of farm experience
can master this work so rapidly
that after this instruction in
stock judging students were
able to go to the state fair last
year and win first prizes in
Judging beef cattle and saddle
horses.
The course begins November

The Best Laxative.

To keep the bowels regular the
best laxative is outdoor exercise.
Drink a full glass of water half
an hour before breakfast and eat
an abundance of fruit and vege-
tables, also establish a regular
habit and be sure that your bow
els move once each day. When
a medicine is needed take Cham
berlain's Tablets. They are
pleasant to take and mild and
gentle in effect. Obtainable
everywhere.

DOUBTFUL" STATES
WORRY REPUBLICANS
Interesting Estimates Made by
Careful Experts Show Drift
to Wilson.
MICHIGAN A BATTLE-GROUND
FOR DEMOCRACY THIS YEAR
Campaigners in Maine Say Demo-
Gratis Will Get More Than Half
Progressive Vote.

Progressive Vote.
Michigan this year gives every
promise of being a genuine fight
ing ground for Democracy. Re-
ports from the different cities
are fast accumulating to prove
this.
The presence of Woodrow Will
son at Detroit, the instruction
of the Progressives against the
Perkins Roosevelt delivery, and
the great prosperity everywhere
throughout Michigan are lean
ing strongly in favor of Demo-
crazy.
Mechanics who were getting
two and three dollars three years
ago are now receiving from four
to six dollars, and they are con-
content with the present condi-
ton.
The mobilization of the troops
towards the Mexican border has
sent a message home that no
other single act could to inn
press the people of Michigan
with the full benefit to the Ma
ton of the Woodrow Wilson
peace policy.
1t looks very clearly from all
of these reasons as if Michigan
with its former $4,000 Republi-
can plurality would be converted
into a good working plurality for
Democracy and Woodrow Will
son.
A close observer of the condi-
tions in Ohio is even more en-
phatic in the declaration that
Ohio will be a positive asset to
the Woodrow Wilson election
this year. Some of the most
conservative business men of
Cleveland, Toledo, and other i'm
portant cities are making the
open declaration that Ohio will
be Democratic this year.
The appointment of the Secre.
tary Of War and the recent ap.
pointment of the Supreme Court
Justice, both Of whom are held
in high esteem by the people of
Ohio, will give an added incen-
tive for the Ohioans to join the
ranks of the new Democracy of
Woodrow Wilson.
Ohio Democrats Active.
The activities of the Demo-
cracy in Ohio are very manifest
at the present time. Perhaps
one of the most unique inscrip-
lions that has been put forth In
the present campaign is thai
emanating from Ohio. The car.
toon presents a cake of ice, anC

year, but the personality Of
thePresident and the prosperity
of Ohio, all point very strongly
towards Woodrow Wilson's sue
cess in Ohio.
The Golden State, too, has all
the ear marks of being added
to the Democratic ranks. On
account of the great disaffection
caused by the Progressive Con-
vention, California is sorely net
tied to a degree that it has never
been in recent years. Most of
the leading Progressives, includ-
ing ex-governor Hiram Johnson,
and a great number of other big
guns have started booming for
Wilson and any one acquainted
with them can readily under
stand that their boom, once
started, will not be hushed I'M
der any condition. Joe Scott, of
Los Angeles, is jubilant over
the outlook for Wilson. Through
northern California in Keene and
Kern counties and into Frisco
itself there is a prevailing
spirit that Wilson will win in
California.
Massachusetts, the old Bay
State, the home of Cabot Lodge
and former Senator Murray
Crane, is also teeming over with
disaffection towards the stand
patters.
Matthew Hale, one of the
most CONSPICUOUS of the Pro
gressives, has openly come forth
against any Progressive Hughes
combination. The feeling there
in Boston, Lowell, Lynn, Fal
River, Springfield and Holyoke,
where many Progressives abide,
is very strong in its resentment
against the apparent bargain
and sale Of the Progressives at
the Chicago Convention.
Many of those men sincerely
believe that the Progressive
Party was destined to be an in.
strument to compel both of the
other parties to put forward
their best idealisms and aspira.
tions. Many of those men be.
lieved in Theodore Roosevelt as
their Moses to lead them out Of
the wilderness. Their disap.
pointment is keen.

CAMPAIGN EXPENSES IN
OHIO WE'RE EXTRAVIGANT

To carry on the most disastrous
campaign in the history of the Repub-
lican party in Ohio-excepting of
course. the year 1912, which is COM
monty eliminated from calculations
it cost the State Campaign Committee
the unprecedented sum of S372,351.-
50. according 20 Chairman Charles s.
Hatfield's report, filed recently with
the Secretary of State. The g. o. p.
general staff admits it spent almost
seven times as much as the Democrats
admit they spent. The figures plainly
show why the Democratic committee
devoted it's closing weeks in talking
about the enormous fund of the OPP
position.
In the state campaign the commit
tees distributed nearly a million dol
lars. Taking several factors into the
equation, it is fair assumption that
this represented only small part of
what was laid out in the campaign.
1t would not be far afield if the guess
was hazared that the campaigns of
all candidates. which tormented the
voters for many weary weeks, cost
between three and four million dol
lars. At that rate it probably means
there was SO spent for every ballot
that dropped into the boxes; to say
nothing of time consumed.
