In connection with the Morse German
crisis, as It may be called, the follow
Ing from Norwegian secret service
agent, Just landed ut New York, Is OF
interest: "The practice Of German u
boat commanders to sink Norwegian
vessels is bringing the country close to
starvation. All have reached the limit
Of human endurance. When left
Christiania two weeks ago, there was
general talk that declaration of war
may come any day, and that the al
lied fleet would make base there I'm
mediately. A strong patrol then would
be maintained westward to the north
coast of Scotland. Afterward fleets
of destroyers will cleanse the North
sea OF submarines"
The discovery of evidence tending
to prove that Germany has been plot
ting to destroy Morse steamers by
means Of explosives is not the only re-
cent happening TO arouse the people Of
Norway Another event of much I'm
portance Is the finding of IA German Sc
Side of Arendahl. which commands n
wide view of the sea.

EXIT, IRON MOUNTAIN

Soon the name of Iron Mountain
will be only memory in Missouri. A
half century ago the deposit of iron
ore bearing that name was the most
famous in all the land. For years the
output from these mines was hauled
by teams to Ste Genevieve for tnans-
portation on the Mississippi River.
Later on-three score years ago-the
Iron Mountain railroad was built
from St. Louis to haul the iron ore
from the big smelters and steel mills
of Carondelet. Manipulations by Big
Business killed the iron industries Of
Carondelet and the mining business
along the Iron Mountain road declin-
ed.
Iron Mountain was an oval shaped
hill, standing alone. Except for the
core of the mountain it was of loose
formation, offering an easy PROPOSE
ton by hydraulics for securing the
rich ore. The mountain is gone
mined and shipped away.
For three quarters of a century the
Iron Mountain railroad has been one
of the chief arteries of commerce in
the Middle West. Jay Gould, the
railroad wizard, saw it's possibilities
and made of it connecting link in his
vast system of roads. 1t has earned
vast sums of money-enough from be-
coming bankrupt. 1t has furnished
yachts for the male members of the
families and has bought titles for
some of their girls. 1t has been his
toric since ante bellum times, during
the years of/civil strife and since that
period-but it must lose its identity
to suit the pleasure of its managers.
There was a time when the name of a
railroad signified its geographical To-
cation. Now, through the combina-
ton of power and interests, rather
than a route which we may wish to
travel.
The right to change the name of
their own property cannot be denied
to these manipulators of railroads,
but in the hearts of the older people
is a regret that the name of the line
by which their journeys have been
made must be changed.
"Iron Mountain, the Scenic Route,
has gone into discard. Pilot Knob,
Arcadia Valley, Gad's Hill, Tip Top,
the Shut-in and other places among
lovers of Ozark scenery, have been
taken off the Iron Mountain railroad
and placed upon the time tables of
the Missouri Pacific.
This may be good financiering, but
it is void of sentiment and of appre-
citation for the traditions that make
country great through its legends,
its history and its clinging to the
glories of the past.-Cape Girardeau
Republican.

that they decided to buy some of the
seed wheat which had been certified
by the University of Missouri College
of Agriculture.
A milling and elevator company of
Mexico, Mo-, is interested in improv-
ing the quality of wheat in Audrain
county. The company has asked the
College of Agriculture to tell them
where they can buy two carloads of
choice Fultz wheat AS a result of
the inspection work which the Col
lege did just before wheat was har-
vested it has been able to supply this
demand.
One farmer who had 1000 bushels
of Fultz wheat and was loading it on
cars to sell it on the general market
was pursuaded by representatives of
tie College of Agriculture to store it
for use as seed. Consequently he
shipped two carloads to Kansas City
and has stored it there. The milling
and elevator company in Mexico has
been referred to this farmer.

PURE BRED HOGS AND CATTLE

We are now preparing a booklet
which will list the fall offerings of the
leading Poland China, Duroc, Berk-
shire, Hampshire and o. /. C. hog
breeders of Missouri and also the Of
ferings of the leading Hereford, Angus
and Shorthorn breeders-and in few
days it will be ready for distribution
and free to all farmers who will send
US a &c stamp to cover cost of mailing.
By having this booklet you will be
able to select exactly the breed of
hogs and cattle you want at prices in
keeping with the size of your pocket
book-and you will also know that
you are dealing with honest breeders,
for this is the only kind we list. The
fine corn crop which is in prospect in
Southeast Missouri. should make this
a great year not only for feeding-but
especially is this a good time to get a
start in pure bred hogs or cattle, for
the farmers Of the United States will
have to replenish the devastated herds
and flocks of Europe when the war
comes to an end. Thought the
Corn Belt, therefore, the slogan is,
Build Up Your Breeding Stock" And
remember a pure bred hog or steer
eats no. more than a SCRUB" and
brings twice as much in the market.
What Southeast Missouri has long
needed is better live stock and our
booklet will list hundreds of spring
gifts and boars of the different breeds,
as well as young bulls and heifers of
the different types-therefore, do not
delay writing us. We will also be in
the market for several thousand BUSH
els of good cowpea and soybean seed.

WILL PAY CONFED-
ERATE PENSIONS

The payment of pensions to Con-
federate veterans for the years 1915
and 1916 will be made within the next
few days, according to information
given out at jefferson City. The last
Legislature appropriated $4,000 for
the pay of Confederate veterans for
the years 1915 and 1916, which was
approved by the Governor. The pen
sions could not be paid until the Gov
ernor had negotiated for loan which
he has at last succeeded in making.
The last session of the legislature
also appropriated $4,000 for the pay
of pensions for Confederate veterans
for the years 1917 and 1918, which the
Governor has vetoed. The pensioners
are advised to continue to send their
acquisitions to the State Auditor so
they may be filed and paid in the event
that the next Legislature should ap-
propriate an amount for their payment
which would be agreed to by the Gov
ernor.

TYPICAL PLANS
FOR ROAD WORK

State Highway Engineer Graham
has prepared for distribution in the
immediate future typical plans and
specifications for earth, rock, gravel,
and other types of road construction.
These will be mailed to all county
Highway Engineers and road over
seers in Missouri. There is a vast
amount of grading done throughout
the State along impractical lines.
Road overseers in adjoining districts
follow entirely different methods of
road construction, while conditions
warrant uniform type. In some in
stances the road is crowned too high,
while in others the proper form of
drainage is not supplied. Most work
with road graders in Missouri merely
means shaping the surface of the road.
Too little attention is paid to grading
and draining the road. The scraping
of sod and weeds into the center of
the road is practice that should be
condemned and discontinued at once.
Under such conditions, the center of
the road is naturally "spongy", and it
requires an immense amount of traf-
fic to compact the earth SO that it will
shed water and remain comparatively
firm even after heavy rain.

POULTRY A GOOD WAR CROP

Poultry has been called the crop that
never fails. 1t offers one of the best
ways of increasing food production on
short notice. Poultry uses feed more
economically probably than any other
class of farm animals when it is care
fully handled. 1t will produce pound
of meat or eggs on four pounds of
grain when protein concentrates are
fed. Pullets will. begin laying in from
6 to months. Cockerels are ready
for market at the age of IL to 16
weeks.
According to H. L. Kempster of the
University of Missouri College of Ag-
riculture there is good money in poul-
try and eggs if the flock is properly
managed. Very little capital is re-
quired and expensive stock and equip
ment are unnecessary. Careful man
agement and feeding are more i'm
portant than expensive equipment The
College of Agriculture has issued a
number of publications which will be
invaluable to the average farmer and
to the man who makes poultry keeping
a business. A recent publication, cir
cular 80, Protein Feeds for Laying
Hens, offers some valuable sugges-
lions on feeding. Extension Service
Circular 26, The Story of Backyard
Flock, contains some good sugges-
tons for the man who has limited IA
cilities for egg production. The last
circular will be helpful to the city
6weller who wishes to produce his
own eggs.

ANCIENT HISTORY
OF UNIVERSITY

July is also red-letter day on the
calendar of the University of Missouri
for local reasons-the corner stone of
the first main building was laid July
4, 1910, and the building was dedicat-
ed July 4, 1912. This building was de-
stroyed by fire in 1892.
The Athenaean Society founded at
the University in 1912 is the oldest
literary and debating society west Of
the Mississippi River.
The first intercollegiate athletic con-
test of the University of Missouri was
the football game with Washington
University, Thanksgiving Day, 1890.
Mcdowell Medical College of St.
Louis, the first medical school west of
the Mississippi River, became the med
ical department Of the University of
Missouri a few years after its foun-
dation in 1910.

Red Cross Society

IErom an editorial by William d. MO
crackan in Christian Science SentinsLl
Every human continuance for
betterment Is susceptible Of abuse
unless divinely guided. Even the
humanitarian institutions where
in brotherly love seeks an outlet
need careful watching Lest wolves
in sleeps clothing creep into the
fold and slaughter the lambs of
innocent desire. The ideal for
which each righteous institution
stands must be protected against
deliberate perversion, against ex.
ploitation at the hands Of the IN
scrupulous, and against those
gusts Of sympathetic mesmerism
which mental manipulators try to
create for their own advantage.
The work of the Red Cross So
.ciety is exposed to crosscu1rents
of this kind. 1t is the outcome Of
q noble idea, it is instinct with d.
vine compassion. The mention Of
it at once opens hearts and purs-
es. Material religion and mater
ial medicine might in some instan-
ces like to divide among them
selves the spoils of this popular
ity. But their efforts in this
direction, if successful, might
eventually Stay the right idea of
true benevolence underlying the
Red Cross.
Miss Clara Barton YVES the
founder of the Red Cross Society
in the United States, and she link
ed this society to the International
Committee in Geneva, Switzer-
land. The symbol Of the Red
Cross is the reverse of the Swiss
flag, which consists of a white
cross on a red ground. That Miss
Barton's sense of religion and
medicine was even then material
lied seems improbable Judging
from a glowing tribute which she
gave to Mrs. Eddy and the teach
ings of Christian Science.
In an interview printed in the
New York American Of Jan. 6,
1908, Miss Barton said: "While
I have not studied deeply enough
the great religion founded by
Mrs. Eddy to consider myself a
Christian Scientist, I can say that
l look upon Christian Science, as
I understand it, as the most ideal
ly beautiful yet the most practical
and comforting of beliefs It is
doing more in the world today,
and will continue to as more peo-
pie become cognizant of the beau
ty Of its teachings than any other
one influence for good. Mrs.
Eddy should have the respect, adj
miration, and love of the whole
Nation, for she is its greatest wU
man." It is interesting to know
that Miss Barton later became
more and more interested in
Christian Science, SO that this
founder of the Red Gross Society
found herself growing into full
agreement with the teaching and
practice Of Christian Science.
