Chamberlain was not an attorney, as
he represented himself, and that he
was a special and not a general agent
for Gray.
Anderson decides that Chamber
lain did not render true and accurate
accounts to his principal, and that he
used funds deposited in the Traders
bank as trustee for his private gain.
Mechanic had knowledge of the fidu-
ciary relation, Anderson finds, and
conspired with Chamberlain to mis-
appropriate Gray's money.
The credits to Gray total $74,532,
and those to Cham berlain $55,54S.
The $1S,794 difference, plus the in
terest, 1896, make the judgement
sum $22,370.
The trial has consumed 1876 work
ing days, covering a period of two
years. There have been 5000 pages
of correspondence, notes, checks and
account books of l 5 years entered
as exhibits. The total number of ex-
hibits is 1921. The typewriter argu-
ments cover 1900 pages.
A special court room in the Paul
sen building was rented and the
court authorized the employment of
a special deputy TO guard the ex-
hibits. The guard has reported sew
eral attempts to tamper with the rec
ords and number of persons have
been fined for contempt.
The two main characters in the
action first met > years ago in Ne
braska. where Chamberlain ran three
banks. He was later tried for Grim
inal misconduct and acquitted, An
derson finds. Gray, later a wealthy
stockman of Pullman, was then a
horse trader. He employed Cham
berlain as collector in 1910. A short
time later the two began a series of
suits and counter suits which ter
minated in the present accounting.
Oscar Cain, former United States
district attorney represents Cham
oerlain. Ripley & Quackenbush and
Fred NJ. Williams are attorneys for
Gray, and Graves, Kizer & Graves for
Mechanic and the Traders bank.

NORMAL is HARD UP"

The editor of the Weekly Independ-
ent, on Thursday last, received let
ter from the Missouri State Normal
Cape Girardeau, Mo-, with a check
| for $1.00 enclosed to apply to sub
scription. The letter was signed by
Louis Houck, who devoted 81 lines,
about 800 words, explaining why the
newspapers published in this district
would not receive a remittance (of the
paltry sum of $500 each) which has
heretofore been annually sent in each
county to pay for a small advertise
ment of the Normal. The excuse CIV
en- is that interest had to be paid on
account of teachers salaries from
January to May, 1917; insurance rates
have increased; repairs had to be
made on the heating plant; and other
expenses to maintain the institution
have caused financial distress that
now embarasses the Missouri State
Normal School"
We venture the assertion that the
salaries of the teachers were not IN
the least disturbed, and the amount
formerly paid the newspapers in the
district is but a small amount Of
which the Board of Regents could
save if they would only apply business
methods to that institution. A thor
ough sitting of affairs would be a
good thing for the taxpayers. The
dismissal of a number of teachers
would also be in order. Also the dis
continuance of the teaching of "high-
er criticism, attacks upon the Bible
now being made by teachers in that
school, would be a good thing. Chris
tian parents would then feel better
when sending their children to the
State Normal, or placing them under
teacher in the rural school who was
taught by teachers in the Normal and
University to disregard the Bible as
the Word of God. The day is not far
distant when schools of this kind will
find their appropriations cut much
more than they were by the recent
Legislature. The State Normal of
Cape Girardeau is getting what it de-
serves.-Potosi Independent.

SOUTHEAST MISSOURI
LIVESTOCK MEMS CON-
VENTION AT PENNINGTON

Southeast Missouri livestock men
are called to meet at Pennington,
August 1926. The purpose of this
meeting is to afford an opportunity
for the discussion of problems con-
fronting the livestock men of this sec
ton, and the ways and means Of in
creasing and improving livestock in
Southeast Missouri. .
A splendid program has been ar
ranged and a tour of st. Francois
county on the last day of the Con-
vention has been planned by the Coun-
ty Farm Bureau and the County
Hereford Breeders Association. This
tour will furnish a free automobile
trip for the visitor over the good rock
roads of the county and visit to all
of the purebred stock farms.
Incidentally, chautauqua program
will be in session at Pennington dur
ing the same week, and there will be
no night programs of the Convention
so that the visitors may attend the
Chautauqua if they wish.
The Convention is held under the
auspices of the Missouri Live Stock
Producers Association. For pro
gram and further information write

wheat next year we all recognize as
a matter of grave importance; but if
you expect to successfully encourage
the farmers to extraordinary efforts
to produce such a crop you must ex-
pect to treat them fairly.
/ am heartily in favor of this bill
as war measure and recognize it as
necessity in order to protect the
American people against exorbitant
war prices now paid for food, feed and
fuel by tie consumers Of the country.
Flour has this year sold as high as
SIT a barrel, but | am informed this
bill, which provides for 81 Per bushel
for wheat, should reduce the price of
flour 20 $40 or 81 per barrel, which
will furnish some relief.
For my part, | am not able to I'M
derstand how the poor laboring man
with family who has during the last
year worked for 50 per day, as many
have done, has been able to pay rent
and keep the wolf from the door. My
sympathies are always with the man
who makes his living by honest toll
and who "eats his bread in the sweat
of his face" | not only sympathize
with him and am anxious to do what
/ reasonably can for his relief, but |
suggest that we begin by crushing
the unreasonable profits of the coal
barons, the middlemen and the spec
ulators, who have been largely re-
sponsible for the increased cost of
living of all the consumers of the
country, including the farmers. |
warn you not to begin your reforms
for lower prices by inficting ihjus-
tice upon the farmers of the land, by
requiring them to produce larger
crops and to sell them at unreasonable
lower prices, while giving them no
relief against exorbitant prices that
they must pay for the necessaries of
life that they must buy.
| am for this bill or any other bill
that seems to be necessary to success
fully fight, and to speedily win the
present war. ! am willing to make
any reasonable sacrifice myself and
willing to vote for any reasonable
sacrifices to be borne by the Ameri-
can people that will help US to speed
lily win the war and bring back to us
in the near future the blessings of
peace, but | am not willing by solemn
legislative act to punish our farmers,
to whom we must all look for bread,
by requiring them to put forth extra
ordinary efforts to supply wheat or
other food stuffs at prices below the
cost Of production. | hope the con-
ference committee will approve Of
and retain in the bill the Senate
amendment providing for minimum
price of So per bushcl for wheat and
that the bill as thus amended will be
promptly passed.

STUDENTS RECEIVE TRAIN
ING IN SOIL MANAGEMENT

A knowledge of soil management is
fundamental to the highest success in
producing crops. The man who has
farmed all his life knows great deal
about this subject but new things are
constantly being discovered by the ex-
pertinent stations. The University OF
Missouri College of Agriculture is now
offering a course in soil management
which is decidedly practical in train
ing men in the practice of handling
soils. 1t covers thoroughly the dis
coveries in soil science and the appli-
cation of these discoveries is the work
of the farmer. 1t is just such an ap-
plication of science to farm practice
that has enabled the German people
to hold out so long against the allied
blockade. The United States should
not be unmindful of the Importance
of these matters if the war is to be
won.

TELLS HOW TO OIL
STATES DIRT ROADS

The application of road oil will not
make bad road good 1t may keep
good road better and it may help TO
keep it in good condition, according
to Dean E. j. McCaustland of the en-
gineering school of the University Of
Missouri.
Oil was first used on earth roads to
lay the dust. 1t is effective for this
purpose if quality is chosen that
is not too volatile and if it is properly
applied and with sufficient frequency.
Lubricating oils should be avoided as
worse than useless and only those
chosen which have a distinctively as
phaltic base, which gives them some
binding quality.
In addition to acting as dust pre-
ventive, oils, particularly those with
asphaltic base, serve to form crust ov-
err the entire roadway, thus shedding
water and preventing mud. Too much
oil must be avoided, since an excess
! tends to soften the surface. From
three fourths TO one and one-fourth
gallons per square yard is usually
sufficient for a single treatment.
To make oiling successful the
earth road must first be carefully
drained, properly crowned, and the
surface loosened by light harrow to
a depth of from one and half to two
inches. After light application of
oil has been absorbed the surface
should be again lightly narrowed and
this followed by a second application.
! When the full amount of oil is abb
sorbed, roll with a light roller and
when thoroughly compacted it may be
opened to traffic. The road should be
kept smooth to prevent formation Of
ruts. The original cost of an oiling
will approximate $500 mile
From bulletin by H. A. LaRue,
! published by the Engineering Expert
ment station of the University of
Missouri, the following summary is
taken:
1. Proper drainage of both surface
and subsurpace.
2. Heavy grading at least one season
in advance of oiling.
3. Proper shaping of roadway to form
| good crown and cutters.
A. Maintenance of surface with road
drag for some time previous to oil
ing to insure compact and smooth
roadway.
5. Careful removal of dust before OIL
ing This is of the utmost i'm
portance.
6. Proper method of oiling; includes
thorough mixing Of oil in earth.
7. Use of right kind Of oil. Quality
of oil can be determined only by
proper tests.
8. Proper maintenance after oiling,
and renewed oiling as needed.
Neutrality is nothing to boast of in
| this war.
