Glover, Mo-, Jan. Is, 1916.
My Dear Editor
1t has been some time since you heard
from me and have something to say
that think is very important for all
farmers to know in this part OF
Southeast Missouri, especially Iron,
Wayne and Reynolds cunties.
In my Judgment there should be
more butter sold for 10 to 25 cents.
AS we have no regular pay rolls in
our county, we can make a regular
pay roll every day to consume the
produce of these counties. We have
been trying it here in Glover. We
have some good cows that we did net
care to sell, and my wife would have
them attended to, and she made from
six to ten pounds Of butter per week.
The latter part Of December I carried
z pounds to Ironton, as fine butter as
you ever looked at and was offered the
full amount of 22Is cents cash per
pound for it. l said to the gentleman,
"It is very good Of you to offer me
that, but l have none to sell at
that price," This made nae go to think
ing again, as you are aware that !
have to think more than great many
other people, and ! decided to get a
separator and try the butter fat, and
took the matter UP with the Fox Riv-
or Butter Co., in st. Louis, and they
quoted mo butter fat for 80 cents a
pound. This looked much better to q
Missourian than 221s cents. l went to
investigating the matter further and
found that the express company would
carry 100 pounds Of this cream to St,
Louis for 2S cents, and return the cans
must stop hero to say to you that the
express company has installed an ex-
press office here at Glover, with your
humble servant as agent.
We received the separator and oui
cows give 10 gallons Of cream, pei
per week that we want to sell, and We
get 10 pounds Of butter fat out Of the
cream. will say that our cows made
ten pounds Of butter fat per week q
Is cents per pound which was equal t
$3.50, and we either had to carry thai
of or send 1t by parcel post or express
That would cost more than the 10 gal
Ions Of cream at 2S cents. Now the II
pounds Of butter fat at 33 cents
pound Is s5.2s cents that we get 70
the same cream that created tho sam
butter fat we get $3.50 for, and the q
L. I. M. 4 s. Ry. has tariff that the
will carry s gallons Of this cream b

company will return the cans free Of
charge. -
| am just in receipt Of letter from
the Fox River Butter Co., Of st. Louis,
stating that they will pay from one
cent below the Elgin butter quota
tions to one cent above the butter fat,
and as you know, the Elgin people
claim to make the best butter there is
SO in summer when we get an over
production of cream, you see that we
get reasonably good price any way,
as they tell me that they didn't pay
less than rs cents pound any time
last summer for butter fat want to
say further then that we are raising
two calves and feeding two sows that
have Is pigs on this skim-milk, and by
mixing little shorts witt, the portion
fed to the sows, they and their pigs
are in fine shape.
We separate the milk from the but
ter fat iust.as soon as it rs MIXED, and
the labor is less than one-third of the
| old way of making butter. This con-
vinces me of what I have argued for a
long time that our farmers here are
mot utilizing this part Of the country
for that for which it is adapted The
Iron Mountain Railroad could pick up
from $40 to $50 every day, if the peo-
pie would turn their attention to it,
and with a large profit to the farmers
The attention Of our Government
when they created the Federal Reserve
System was fer the farmer producer
to get cheap money, also Col. +. D
Gardner's Farm Bank idea was under
the same principle. So you can see
from what I say that this is correct
and If any Of your readers doubt it,
will send you the bill Of sale, for yor
to publish in your paper, Of what w
receive for the cream. l have figured i
lit out carefully and have decided b!
figures and by practical experienc'
that any man can take 100000, lease
piece Of ground, buy $400 worth o
. Jersey cows, and buy his equipment

Appeals COURT ADJOURNS
AFTER HARD WEEKS WORK
All But Few Cases Of the October
Docket Disposed Of Meet Again
January Is.

The Court of Appeals handed down
decisions in large number OF adoi-
tional cases argued during the October
term and adjourned until January 10
when the Judges will assemble at An
nspolis for further consultations and
nling of opinions In this connection
the court probably established record
as the docket for the term contained
considerably more than 100 cases,
probably the largest docket "a the his
tory of the court, and ali but few Of
them have been disposed Of.
One imp rtant case IN which de-
c,sion was not rendered is the Prince
Georges county "dry" law. This ap-
peal was argued yesterday, but it was
thought by many interested in the con
troversy that probably per curism
order would be rendered TO settle the
issue and more detsiled opinion Civ
ing the reasons therefore would be
filed later. Arguments in cases on the
January term docket will begin Jam

A Suggestion For Next Sunday
To Be Red Cross Day

Henry P. Dawson, Chairman of the
Red Cross War Council, has sent out
the suggestion that on Sunday. De-
cember 16, there shall be arranged
union meetings in churches or audi
tcriums in the interest of the Red
Cross Christmas membership drive,
beginning December IL and ending
Christmas Eve.
Ministers of all denominations have
been urged by letter to preach Red
Cross sermons on Sunday morning,
December 16. and to hold Sunday
School and Young Peoples services
the afternoon of that day. In addi-
tion to these services, Mr.. Dawson
suggests that evening meetings be
held in churches or auditoriums where
people of all faiths may unite in testi-
flying to their zeal for the Red Cross
and in helping in its campaign for
100000 nem members.

CUT OUT HAULING ICE
Freeze Your Own Chunks and Haul
Coal.

Persons who still take ice may place
vessels of water outside at nights and
do their own freezing, and thereby aid
in the conservation of labor.
There seems to be no good reason
why ice carts should go about .hese
days when labor is so scarce, and the
drivers of ice carts couid be put to
driving coal carts.
The horses hauling ice could haul
the much needed coal. instead, and
the ice plant might be allowed to shut
down and conserve the coal it uses in
the manufacture of ice for use where
greater needed.
At least toe matter of calling of
the ice carts in ORDER to put the labor
to hauling coal at this time is worth
thinking about and is not an unreason-
able proposition.

Arguments in the msn0amus suit

Ter hugh A. McMallen viii be heard
in the Circuit Court here tomorrow.
II has previously been incorrectly stat
ed that this case would not come up
for hearing until January l6, on ae'
count Of postponement,
The suit is based upon TIE efforts OF
Commissioners Shepherd TO recover fees
collected by his Office aud which ne
claims are cue him. The amount OF
the fees involved is approximately ST.
500. Comptroller McADllen has de-
clinsd to honor the requisisions OF the
petitioner for the last three quarters
of the year, on the ground that the
Land Comm sssi oner is not entitled 20
sny fees from his Office. In other
words, MIR. Shepherd is placed in the
same category as the Secretary OF
State. A few months ago, sction was
taken agsinst the incumb mt, and two
| former officIsls of the latter Office,
with the result that it was decided
| they must return the fees collected oy
them.

NAVAL RESERVES
Not To Command Merchant Ships
Plan Abandoned

Abandonment of the plan to man all
American merchant vessels engaged
in transatlantic service with naval
reserves was announced by the Ship
ping Board at Washington. The pro-
posal was advanced by the Navy De-
partment and at one time it appeared
to have been agreed upon. but the
Board decided there were too many
practical obstacles to attempt it,
Under the plan now adopted naval
reserves will be put aboard only
troop ships and vessels carry whole
cargoes of munitions or supplies for
the army or navy All other ships
will be manned as heretofore by mer-
chant sailors. This arrangement will
call for naval operation of many yes
sells now in the service of the Ship
ping Board, since in the past the navy
has manned only troop ships and ma
val supply vessels.

Although he has lived in Annapo-

He left his home about II o'clock

The citizen in question said he
though he was too well acquainted
with Annapolis to ever lose his way,
and furthermore, he could never un-
derstand how it was people lost their
way in snow storms.
But he realized it all last night.
Upon reaching Church Circle he be-

and could not find his way. He had
no idea where the postoffice was. and
with the snow beating in his face he
would have probably circled the Cir

"NEARLY MARRIED"
Selwyn's Play Appeared On Broadway
Entire Season; Then Through
out America-At Republic

Theatre Tomorrow.

If you want a good laugh go to the
noon and night to see Madge Ken
nedy's second Goldwyn production,
the famous stage success Nearly
Married" by Edgar Selwyn.
Miss Kennedy was recently seen
here in that laughable picture at the
Republic, Baby Mine"
For several years virtually every
large producing organization in the
industry has tried to obtain the
screen rights to this successful play
from Mr.. Selwyn, but without avail.
Seemingly an uncanny foresight
prompted Mr.. Selwyn and Margaret
Mayo, as we'll as the producing firm
of Selwyn and Company, not to part
with their great stage successes to
the picture magnates and now that
they are themselves screen magnates
in Goldwyn Pictures Corporation they
are not averse to feeling that pre-
destination" played part in their
refusals.
Nearly Married. when presented
6CfcIdl oCdoOno dSo III ANCN III NJ
was an all-season success at the
Gaiety Theatre, and played to
tremendous audiences throughout
America At the time of its stage
presentation it gave Bruce McRae one
of the best roles of his career and
also brought the beautiful Ruth Shep-
ley into greater prominence.
The purchase by Goldwyn of Near
ly Married further indicates the de-
termination of this producing organ
ization to build its permanent place
in the field of the screen by using
for its material only assured sue
cesses which have been big money
makers either on the stage or in the
world of literature. Up to this time,
in an entire years work, Goldwyn has
not produced single picture from an
unknown author Every play and
every author represents known and
established factor in American
amusements This, of course. means
great deal for the exhibitors who
later are to vend and show Goldwyn
Pictures to the public, for they are
always assured in advance of the
drawing power Of the Goldwyn pro-
ductions
