FRIENDLESS

Gee Whiz," hear the Kaiser sigh,
"I'm tired of war and all its works;
l have no friend beneath the sky, out
side, of Bulgars and of Turks. Before
l sprung this worldwide scrap, to
spread my kultur far and near, | was
a rather well-liked chap, on this and
t'other hemisphere. In all the arts |
then excelled, l used to paint, ! used
to draw; with admiration critics yell
ed, when they my masterpieces saw.
/ used to write majestic hymns, and
great musicians, when they heard,
would go away on hating limbs, and
shoot themselves without a word. /
used to follow useful ends, piled the
chisel and the Tyre; ach, then my
world was full of friends, who came
long journeys to admire. My curves
were then so smooth and fine, men
tried to emulate my stunt; they brush
ed their whiskers just like mine, and
tried to wear War Lord front. Alas,
those days are drowned in gore, and
Tyres have given place to dirks, and
| must herd forever more with Bull
gars and with greasy Turks. No mat
ter who may win the fight, Herr Haig
or old man Hindegrad, the world will
say to me, good night-I'm in too bad,
I'm in too bad" Walt Mason.

CLEAN, HEALTHY WHEAT
SEED ESSENTIAL

Sound, clean, healthy seed is the
first requisite for the largely increas-
ed wheat crop which the United States
Department of Agriculture hopes to
see harvested next year. Whatever
the source of supply farmers will tind
it to their advantage, says the depart
ment, to see that only good seed is
planted. What has been said is equal
iy true of seed for the rye crop which
the department hopes to see much
larger than usual next year.
If farmer has seed from his own
crop which is satisfactory so far as
variety and general condition are con-
cerned, he should lose no time in get
ting it into shape for storage until
planting time. The tanning mill is
the farmers best friend in this task.
The farmer, by all means should have
such a mill and if he has not and is
unable to obtain one, should borrow
or rent his neighbours mill, or sever
al farmers can join in buying one. A
tanning mill removes weed seeds,
smut and shriveled grain and leaves
only plump kernels, practically every
one of which may be dependent upon
to produce thrifty plant. After it is
cleaned, however, the seed should be
treated in order that the smut may be
prevented. Scab is less likely to be
prevented by seed treatment, but the
use Of the tanning mill will assist ma
terially in improving the crop grown
from seed known to have contained
scabby kernels.
If the farmer is dependent on out
side sources for his seed he should
buy from his neighbor if possible so
that he may be more likely to get seed
we'll adapted to his conditions. 1t is
advisable to buy as soon after harvest
as possible, as at this time prices are
likely to be lowest. If the farmer de-
lays, his neighbors may dispose of all
their surplus grain and he may be
forced to plant seed grown under con-
ditions radically different from his
own. If the farmer patronizes a seeds
man he should insist on getting seed
grown as near his section as possible.
If seed is affected by diseases, care
full inspection will usually disclose the
fact. The presence Of sinking smut
in wheat is indicated by the odor and
| the presence Of scab by the appear
ance of the kernels. Purchased seed
should, of course, be cleaned and treat
ed for the destruction of the spores of
disease-producing fungi, if the exam
nation shows this TO be necessary.
In choosing varieties of wheat the
farmer should be guided by the expe-
rience of his neighbors and the ad-
vice of his State Experiment Station.
This is true also of rye, but there are
available fewer varieties of rye than
of wheat. The stations can furnish
comparative statistics on the yields
and behavior Of a number of varie-
ties of the two cereals.
After the grain farmer has produced
q supply Of satisfactory seed he should
store it carefully so that it will keeT
in good condition and will be safe from
the depredations of rats, mice and in.
sects. Bins which are supposedly rat.
proof are available on practically al
farms and it will pay farmers to sec
that they are kept in good condition
to keep cut tho rodents.

IN TAXES TO COME
FROM HIDDEN PROPERTY

The taxpayers of Missouri need have
no fear of an alarming increase in tax
es as result of the operation of the
Tax Commission lay. The experience
in Kansas, where conditions of assess
ment were similar to those existing
in Missouri will serve as an example.
In that State the first year after
the Tax Commission was created the
assessed valuation was increased GOO
per cent, but the rates of levy were
so lowered that when the taxes were
paid it was found that there was an
increase of only per cent which was
but a normal growth, and this was due
to the uncovering Of hidden property
which was made to reduce the amount
previously paid by persons owning
property that could not be concealed.

MISSOURIANS WANT
PEACE WITH VICTORY

The New York American addressed
the following inquiry to the Governor
of Missouri:
"What consideration, in your belief,
should this government give to the
Pope's message on peace? What, in
your judgment, is the sentiment of
the people Of your State concerning
this matter?"
ACTING Governor Wallace Crossley
sent the following reply:
"First: The head Of the Roman
Catholic church sways the sentiment
of many millions and he is supposed
to yearn for peace. His message,
therefore, is entitled to the most seri-
Gus consideration.
Second; The people Of Missouri
would welcome world peace before
their young mon leave for the trench
cs; but if Pope Banedict's suggestions
are not in hcrmony with American
purposes and deals, or if the adop-
ti9n Of his suggestions would strength
On the autocracies Of middle Europe,
who may in the future as in the past,

alton, our people are against the plan

have the utzaost confidence in the
craftsmanship and patriotism Ct Pres

STATE SCHOOL FUND
LARGEST IN HISTORY

State Treasurer Middlekamp will
begin in a few days the distribution
of $2,086,SS6 to the public schools of
Missouri in accordance with the ap-
portionment made by State Superin-
tendent Uel w. Lampkin.
This is the largest amount ever
given to the schools of Missouri and
aggregate more than 1925 per capita
for each upil of school age in the
State.
In addition to the above there will
be paid out for teachers, training in
high schools $4,000, and for rural
High Schools S125,000. -t
An educational fund Of more than
two and a quarter million dollars for
the common schools is a monument
to the wisdom and foresight of the
democracy Of Missouri, which has al
ways fostered and encouraged the
cause of education.

CUT WEEDS AND HEDGES

This is the month when all road ov-
erseers in Missouri are directed to
cut weeds and brush found growing
along the roadside. A drive into the
country in almost any direction will
show how negligent many road over
seers have been in complying with
this provision of the law. Hedges
which are not cut down to height
of FIVE feet should be thinned out and
trimmed up, so the growth will neith-
err obstruct the view nor shade the
road. Hedge rows given this treat
nent will yield many fence posts, and
the road will be improved.
