PROHIBITIONS BIRTHPLACE

The first prohibitive measure was
that of the Saxon Cling Edgar, who
nearly 100 years ago closed many
alehouses, only allowing one to ex-
list in a village or small town, and at
the same time limiting the draughts
of the drinkers. The common drink
ing cup of that day held about two
quarts, and Edgar had eight pegs
placed at even distances apart in
each cup, heavy penalties being i'm
posed on those who drank from one
peg -to another without stopping.
Neither the working nor the result
of the act encouraged Edgar's Sue
cessors to further action, and the next
prohibitive legislation on the sale of
liquor is due to Henry XII, who, on
account of the prevalence of beggars
and vagabonds, empowered the JUS
tees of the peace to stop the com
mon selling of strong ale wherever
they thought necessary.

1000 LETTERS ON
HOG CHOLERA

This week there is going out from
the Office of the State Veterinarian
at Columbia, Mo-, letter to every
district clerk in this State-a total of
over 1000
The district clerk is asked to read
this letter before your annual school

ian, who will investigate without cost

The names and addresses of depu-
ties available are printed on Slip

Through this school district organ
ization plan it is proposed to place

every hog raiser. Ask your district
clerk about it when you arrive at your
annual school meeting, April 3.

PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION

We are partners in a great business
enterprise. Our workshops are oul
homes and schools; each is wholly de-
pendent upon the other. The pro-
duct of those shops is boys and girls
and it is our combined duty to give
them the best that home and school
can afford. Unless we work together
something will go wrong with the ed
ucational machinery and somebody's
boy or girl will be cheated out of
what rightfully belongs to him OF
her.
We have no right, either as teach.
er or parent, to rob the children en-.
trusted to our care, through the lack
of cooperative spirit of friendship
and helpfulness that should exist be-
tween US. 1t is high time that the
helping hand of mutual assistance
should be reached out to the whole
community. Any plan that will con-
vince people that Education is an in
vestment, not an expenditure" will
help to change the present indifier-
ence to school matters that is so de-
plorable.
The only plan thus far worked out
by which the most Indifferent may
be converted to the Gospel of Good
Education is the parent Teacher AS
ISOLATION"
With these facts in mind, body
of earnest women Of Pennington met
in the High School few weeks ago,
and organized Parent Teacher As
ISOLATION, which includes in its mem
bership not only the teachers and the
mothers of children in our schools
but many other women, who, while moi
having children in the school, still
realize that we are "our brothers
keeper" and that it behooves each
one of US to work for the betterment
of our educational facilities anC
through them for the uplift of the
community. Any friend of educa
ton who resides within the limits Of
the school district is eligible fol-
membership in this organization, ant
we earnestly urge you to come your.
self and bring a friend to the meet
ing, thereby doing your share to helI
the cause of education in Farming.
ton.
Mrs. W. N. Fleming was elected
president at the first meeting, and
Mrs. Mccarthy and Mrs. Will Lang
were made chairmen of the organiza-
ton for the North and South Wards
respectively.

High School on Friday, March 30th
at 1920 p. m. Join the Association
and keep in touch with the education-
al advancement of our city.

ONE OF STATES
GREATEST PRODUCTS

Jefferson City, Mo, March a.
The wool output of Missouri's ia
counties for 1916 amounted to 1925
900 pounds in the raw state, and
when the yield had been secured, g.
636,250 pounds, which quantity had a
Boston market value of $2,109,000, at
80 cents per pound, announces Com
missioner VIM. H. Lewis as advance
information from the 1917 Red Book"
of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The European war made wool worth
1916 when the high prices Of GO cents
per pound, secured state, was reached,
it was thought that the limit had been
reached, but the eighty cents value
established a new record. In 1914
more pound than has been the case
in any year since the civil war. In
wool averaged "a cents pound, scour-
ed state.
1t took 100000 sheep to supply the
1916 output of Missouri wool, the av-
erage per fleece being SO per cent
and the shrinkage, when the wool was
secured, amounted to 43 per cent. 5
per cent of the yield was rated as of
fine quality, and 50 per cent medium.
The process of securing wool, while
it decreases the weight of it, added
100 per cent to its value. Farmers
received from 26 to 80 cents per pound
for wool in the raw state. The 80
cents per pound value is what Mis-

ufacturers when they bought it in
Boston, and in it is included the
cost of transportation and securing
and the profits of Missouri buyers
and shippers, middlemen and, finally,
the wholesalers who sold direct to
manufacturers. The shortage of
sheep reduced the 1916 output of
Missouri considerably when compar-
isons are made with the yield Of
1915, the amount credited to Missouri
that year being 7035,000 pounds,
raw state, and 3,973,000 pounds af-

Boston at IS cents pound, secured

1t took 100000 Missouri sheep to
produce the 1915 crop of wool High
market prices of sheep and lambs
and an increased demand caused Mis-
souri, farmers in the latter part of
1915 and in early 1916 to market
many more cal. loads than in previous
years. On January 1, 1917, there
were estimated to be 100000 head
of sheep ON Missouri farms, worth
$10,549,000, a condition which prom
Uses larger yield of Missouri wool

Says Simple Remedy
Prolonged His Life
DR.. CALDWELL's SYRUP PEPSIN
EFFECTIVE AS A REMEDY
FOR CONSTIPATION

Among older people the various
organs of the body have tendency
to slow up and weaken, and this is
usually first manifest in pronounce
ed inactivity of the bowels.
Good health is dependent on regu-
larity in this important function (;
whenever there is the slightest indi-
cation of constipation a mild laxative
should be taken to relieve the conges-
ton and dispose of the accumulated
waste. Cathartics or purgatives should
not be employed, however. These are
too violent in action and their effect
is only temporary.
A mild laxative such as the COM
bination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin, known as DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, is the ideal remedy. 1t
is gentle in it's action, bringing re-
lief in an easy, natural manner, with
out gripping or other pain or discom-
fort, is pleasant to the taste, and can
be obtained in any drug store.
