Spy Bill Condemned.

Opposition of newspapers to
that feature of the espionage bill
which would be a menace to
freedam of speech and of the
press, is not due to selfish inter-
est. The interest of the news
paper is exactly identical with
the interest Of all the people of
the country. Editors have no de-
sire Ito publish fact regarding
public affairs which would jeop-
ardize the welfare of the nation.
Nor do the people desire that
such information shall be publish
ed. But newspaper readers, as
we'll as editors, desire that the
law shall not be so drawn as to
preclude or hamper the publica-
ton of legitimate news and dis
cussion regarding public affairs.
1t is not at all to the credit of the
administration that it fathered
an espionage bill which has met
the universal condemnation not
only editors but of labor leaders
and many others who are accus-
toned to discuss public issues.
One inevitable effect will be to
cause people to scrutinize most
carefully every measure propos-
ed by the Departments and tend
ing to vest them with increased
discretionary powers. Americans
do not intend to fight for demo-
cracy in Europe and forfeit it
here.

Last Sunday was the first real

looked as though some OF the
boys who like Coco Cola so well
was so red in the face caused by
thirst, and want OF this widely
known beverage, and the fellows
who forgot 10 lay IN a supply of
smoking tobacco and cigars, was
also found in a bad condition
when it came smoking time; the
editor himself was caught with
out his chewing, and so he had
to use stratage to procure enough
to make out until the stores open
ed up on Monday morning. 1t is
a good law, it has been on the
statute for a long time, but it was
not ridgidly enforced until now,

BIN H. GREGORY
Leading Candidate For
County Court Clerk, a
Staunch republican

In the coming Primary election
for the nomination 10 various
offices of this county there should
be given each candidate The con-
sideration necessary to qualify
him for the Office to Which he
aspires.
In order that a candidate may
be qualified he should have Il
clean record as u moral man. He
should nave the educational
qualifications sufficient to enable
him to do suca WORK as the law
requires. The most important
thing we shoull take into con-
sideration Is whether or not he Is
a Republican, Democrat or what
ever party he may affiliate with.
Ben II. Gregory, the leading
candidate for County Court Clerk
is a staunch Republican, and
member Of a large family who
have been life l)ng Republicans.
A family who have never he'd an
office in this county. They have
not been the kind that have to
be paid for the service they give
the party. but men who willingly
put their shoulder to the wheel to
help their party win in National,
State and county Offices. Ben is
a young man II yeays of age, a
man who has been heard from as
an advocate of Republicanism
before he was even voter. He
has made many speeches in this
county to help the party win. He
is such a Republican that he
! merits the important nomination
! he is now asking to be given him
by the Republican voters at the
Primary Saturday, August 4th.
Mr.. Gregory comes before the
people with a clean record. a
man who is honest, sober and
truthful, and a man of unques-
tionable character, such a record
that there cannot be one thing
said against it. Even his oppon-
ents acknowledge that he is the
cleanest man that ever asked for
an Office in this county.
His educational qualifications
will enable him to be of service
to the people of this county. Our
acquaintance with Ben permits
US to say that he will give this
Office his personal attention and
will always be sober in order to
handle the business of this Office
with honor to himself and the
citizens of this county. He is the
kind of a man who makes a
friend of every man he meets.
He is making an active cam.
paign and meeting with app roval
of the voters throughout the
county. Reports from various
sections of the county have it
tina; Ben H. Gregory is the lead
ing candidate for County Court
Clerk and that he will be given
this nomination by the largest
m ajority ever given a candidate
for this Office. He is the kind of
a man that appreciates the vote
that will be given him in this race.
His many friends in this county
are very enthusiastic in his inter-
est in this race and are saying to
the other candidates we're for
Gregory, he is the winner"
1t is the duty of every citizens
to investigate each candidates
record and see if he is worthy to
merit the Office he is seeking.
1t is our duty to Investigate this
young mans record and then if
found worthy it is our duty to
give him this important nomi-
nation which will he greatly APP

MANURE AS A TOP DRESSING
II Greatly Stimulates Growth Of Wheat
and Assists to Prevent
Winter Killing.

(By M. r. MILLER, Missouri College of
Agriculture.)
Every year sees greater number of
Missouri farmers using manure as n
top dressing on wheat. There Is con-
siderable evidence to show where
wheat Is grown In a rotation, manure
can very often be applied to better ad-
vantage as to top dressing on this
crop than as an application before
corn. There are two principal advan-
tages of this practice. The first one is
that it greatly stimulates the growth
Of the wheat and helps to prevent win
ter killing with resulting increase in
yield. The second one is that since
clover and grass are usually sown with
the wheat and since manure aids very
greatly in securing stand of these
crops when used as top dressing with
the wheat, this alone may be sufficient
reason for its application. AS mat
ter of fact the top dressing of wheat
with manure almost insures stand of
clover or grass on land which is at all
suited to these crops. The land may
be too sour or too wet to grow clover.
Much land in Missouri is too sour. If
it is only slightly sour, the manure
greatly aids in getting a clover stand.
If it Is very sour, lime is usually es-
sentinl in addition.

claiming that he secures enough extra

the cost of paving. He usually feeds

BEGIN POULTRY LICE FIGHT
Effective Powder Can Be Made at
Home by Using cresoI, carboIic
Acid and Gasoline.

A very good lice powder for use on
poultry may be made at home from in
gradients that, when bought separate
ly, will cost little as compared with
the expense of commercial lice pow
der made of the same or similar mate
rials. One of the best of these home
made powders Is prepared by mixing
one pint of cresol, or the same quantity
of strong, crude carbolic acid, with
three pints of gasoline. To this is
added, while stirring just enough plas-
ter of paris to take up the liquid. 1t
will take about ten pounds of plaster
for the amounts of cresol and gasoline
given. Larger or small amounts may
be prepared by increasing or decreas-
ing the three ingredients proportion
ately. After making this powder it
should be kept in well-covered recep-
tacle to keep it from losing strength.
The best way to apply the powder is
to put it into sitting box made by
punching numerous small holes into n
tin can, and, holding the bird by the
feet, head downward, sift the powder
well into the fluff.

than scant material. 1t is full enough
'or comfortable walking. The over
skirt is laid in four plaits at each
side of the front and in box plaits
across the back. 1t is bordered at the
front with six narrow folds of silk,
and they give it very slight flare at
he bottom.
The bodice is an affair for an ex-
pert dressmaker to describe, and the
uninitiated fashion reporter can only
marvel at 1t. 1t Is draped away from
the vest at the waistline and orna-
mented with folds of silk that extend
themselves to the skirt. A tab of EN-
broidery lends line of bright color TO
the sedate tones of the cloth and silk
folds and repeats the design (of
which there is a glimpse) that covers
the vest. The bodice appears to be in
one piece, with the skirt at the back.
Full straight sleeves are shirred in
at the wrists and bordered with fur,
and soft muffler collar of fur pro-
tects the throat. Any of the soft wool
fabrics might be used in a dress of
this kind, and 1t Is more than likely
that we shall see it made in satin.
