SEED WHEAT IN DEMAND

A large part of the excellent seed
wheat which Missouri has produced
this year will be required by Missouri
farmers for planting next years crop.
The farmers in the neighborhood of
McCredie, Galloway county, have or
dered 900-bushel carload of seed
wheat from Saline county farmers.
They expect to order another car
loan. 1t is probable that another car
will be taken by farmers near Full
ton.
The McCredie farmers are interest
ed in cooperative effort. Their Sec
ond agricultural meeting which was
held July 81, was attended by about
200 people. It was at this meeting

When l read of the wreclling of motors l feel
The car that goes wrong has fool at the wheel,
The amateur racers the gluttons for speed;
Divorce from the car is the law that they need
The fool and his should be parted
The driver who takes all the crossings high
And never looks out whether trains be by,
Who runs down the Waterman and smashes the gate,
And puts all his trust in the kindness Of Fate
The fool and his should be parted
The chauffeur who tears along populous streets,
Who misses the troeys by marvellous feats,
VINO "burns up the road" and prefers the wrong SIDE
And tells of his exploits with vouble pride
That fool and his should be parted.
The driver who mixes his drinks and his gas,
The chauffeur who drives with arm round lass,
The fool who converses and turns back his head
To hear what his friends in the have said
Such fools and their should be parted.
The fool is creature that can learn,
The fool very often has money to burn,
And drivers who carry more dollars than
Just charge up their fines to the running expense
The fool and his should be parted.
