Developing Spirit OF Loyalty

Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1917-11-09

The fact that troops Of the entente
allies are wearing silk as protective
armor against blood poisoning from
wounds, has partially accounted for
the hugh shipments of American
silk fabrics abroad since che begin
ming Of the war. in the opinion of
silk trade authorities who have just
returned to this country from
France 1t was learned early in the
war, according to these authorities.
that if soldiers wore silk next to
their skin there was less danger
from blood poisoning if the silk were
driven into wound than in the case
of cotton or wooden fabrics. This
discovery resulted in the manu-
facture Of a special silk which is
now generally used by the allied
armies.

Missouri is one of the best grain
states in the Union and yet our
farm lands dre selling for much
less per acre THAI are the lands of
Iowa or Illinois. The states nam
ed adjoin Missouri. Their lands
are more productive than Ours I'M
der the same conditions. Is it an
old time prejudice or do the people
of Iowa and illinois work their
farms to a better advantage? We
will not attempt to answer the
question, but will say that the
farms 10 Iowa and Illinois. eener-

appearance. More attention is paid
to keeping buildings painted More
attention to fences ard more at

Common Sense Needed.

il is common sense IL is time to

war. stop talking. lnok about us and

This is especially true in regard to
so called food conservation, a fool

duced a situation exactly the re-
verse Of that intended. In an over
jealous effort TO restrict consump-

impression that an unusual scracity

ordinary circumstances. would be
thrown into the channels Of trade

these facts In Monroe county for

Orchard For Every Farm.

That every farm should have a
home orchard is the opinion Of DR..
J C Written of the University Of
Missouri College Of Asricu lture.
lie says that no part Of the farm
will produce more for the land it-oc-
cupies than will home orchard
properly selected and taken care of
The home orchard helps to make
background or proper setting for
the farm buildings. II affords the
needed shade for poultry. pigs. cows,
or small stock, 1t can give a sue,
cession of fruit from early until
late when fruit on the market would
not be readily available
Despite this fact home orchards
are sometimes regarded as almost q
nuisance by the farmer. The great.
est cause for dissatisfaction is tina,
the home orchard is almost always
too large. 1t occupies too much
land, produces more fruit than the
family can use and is not taken
care of unless it is big enough to be
come a commercial enterprise
Again the home orchard sometimes
is planted to a single variety such
as Ben Davis apples, which does moi
allow a succession Of fruits turnout
the season Sometimes, on the
other hind. 1t contains too many
unusual varieties. most of which
are NOT adapted to the neiehborhcod
and therefore are moi. productive

Washington, D. Cts up to Presi.

bill.
The President is considering the
three plans now before the Senate.

1.-The House bill, controlling only

2.-The Senate Agriculture Com
mittea bill. controlling food, fuel, steel,
copper. lumber, cotton, wool and
various other necessities. with whisky
prohibition only.
3.--The Gore substitute. limiting the
controlled list to wheat and coal and
with whisky prohibition, with au
thority to the President to stop beer
and wine making.
The President Is expected to submi1
to the Senate a solution Of the situa
ton which, as 1t now stands, woult
surely end in defeat Of the bill. Sentl

Senators pointed out that Agricu]
