AGENTS OF MERCY

Blessed are the merciful-," what
a store of wisdom is borne in these
prophetic words of the Divine Master.
And what comfort is found in the
present hour of trial and world dis
tress to know that we find host Of
''the merciful."
For all those who wear the Red
Cross are agents of mercy. TOiling
amid CHASTITY scenes on battlefield and
in hospital. these unselfish servants
of mankind are doing their bit to al
leviate the suffering and pain the an
ger of men have brought down upon
them. Surely no organization of
mercy is more deserving of His bless
ing than the Red Cross.
The people of the United States, in
Guiding the citizens of Columbia and
the entire state of Missouri. are given
an opportunity to give financial aid
to these bearers of mercy. For it is
a privilege. for those who have, to
give to the work of the Red Cross.

FOR BETTER ROADS

The passage of the Halves Good
Road Bill should mean much for the
state of Missouri. Missouri does not
have the good roads that a state of
her importance. should have. At the
time of the passage of the bill there
seemed to be doubt among the legis-
latOrs from the remote parts of the
state that their counties would get
the benefit from the passage of such
a law.
Good roads, like education to an
individual, are an investment. 1t
means that better things are to come
A state traversed by good highways
invites many tourists who, when they
leave the state, act as a sort of ad-
vertisement. They have the advan-
tage of increasing the value of prop
erty, and farm land in particular A
farm on a good road is always a
growing investment.
Good roads mean better and quicker
means of communication. Civilization
has always advanced the highest in
those countries where the means of
communication were best. They are
the marks of an advanced stage of
civilization.
A state that insists upon good
roads has the cause of the farmer at
heart. He cannot move his products
il the highways are bad. He cannot
live the life that was intended for
him if he is not free to go and come
as he likes.

NORMAL 5 DEFEATS
SPRINGFIELD TEAM
Local Boys Gain Easy Victory
Over Leaders of College Basket
ball Teams-ScOre 80 to Fl.

The Normal basket ball team last
night defeated the Springfield Normal
team by score of SO to 81, at the
Normal gymnasium. At no time wa:
the local team in danger of defeat
The first half was closed with the
score standing % to in favor of the
local five.
During the second half the Local
team took the defensive and after al
lowing the visitors to add Is more
points to their original six, held their
opponents safe for the remainder OF
the game.
A large crowd attended the game,
the gymnasium being packed to its
capacity. The victory won by the To-
cal basket ball team over the st. Louis
U. five last Saturday aroused new in
terest among the fans.
The defeat administered the Spring
field Normal team shattered its un-
broken record for the season. When
they ARRIVED here they had won every
game played this season. The Spring.
field five are considered the strong
est set OF players in the Missouri con-
ference of colleges and are looked up
on as the logical contenders for the
championship in the league of college
basket ball teams.
After five minutes play last night
it was apparent that the visitors We're
doomed for a defeat. Dearmont, who
played right forward for the Cape
Normal team, exhibited more skill and
"pep" than any other player on the
two teams. He scored IA points for
his mates during the game. Mason,
who played in center, followed with
10, while Klaus, on left forward, scored
8. and Lathem, the right guard, made
6 points.
Of the defeated team Greer, on left
forward, made the most points. He
scored field goals and 8 goals on
fouls, a total of Is points. L. Ber-
nard, right forward; Engelman, GEN.
ter, and C. Bernard, left guard, scored
one field goal each. The game was
refereed by Lusch while George Doyle
of Jackson acted as timekeeper.
Last nights victory was revenge
for the defeat the Cape Normal team
suffered in Springfield several days
ago. The latter five leave today for
and will then return home
10 meet the st. Louis U. basket ball
team in two games.

for her calmness during the trip. He
says she was unlike most Of the women
on the ship.
Rev. Kramer married Miss Edna
Niermann the latter part of December.
Shortly after their marriage they left
for New York to sail for South Amer
lea. On the steamer they met a num-
Der of missionaries who were bound
for Buenos Aires. The couple will re-
main in South America for eight
years.
When Rev. Kramer and his wife left
here, her parents warned them not to
go ship that was armed. When they
boarded the ship they were told not
to speak German, because they might
be denied passage if it became known
that they were of German descent.
The experience of the young couple
during the voyage to South Ameriea Is
related in a number Of letters. These
were mailed in Rio de Jsneiro, the Sec
ond port where the steamer stopped.

REV. STOFFRECEN'S.
FUNERAL TOMORROW.
Aged Clergyman Had Been
Preaching in Cape County
20 Years.

Rev. J. Friedrich StcFregen. Who
died at his home in GorGonville Sun
day morning, will be buried Wednes-
day afternoon in the cemetery near
the German Methodist Church, in Cor
donville. which the aged minister
helped to organize years ago. He was
90 years old and had been a resident
of Cape County nearly all his life. He
was a minister in the German Metho-
dist Church for almost 20 years.
Rev. Stoffregen was born in Han
over, Germany, July 4, 1925. When
20 years of age he was brought to
this country by his parents. They
landed in New Orleans shortly be-
lore Christmas, lS45. The family
travelled up the Mississippi by boat to
Cape County, and settled in the vicin-
ity Of where Gordonville is now To-
Gated.
Two years later a German Metho-
dist Church was founded in which the
youth served as preacher until 1850,
when he was ordainedminister. He was
sent to Jackson, where he had charge
of Methodist Church. During the
Civil War he was also made pastor
of the German Methodist Church in
the Cape.
Rev. Stoffregen was married to
Miss Johanna Deneke, who lived near
Gordonville, in 1851. Eight children
were born to them, seven died while
small, while the eighth survives the
parents. Mrs. Stoffregen died in 1909.

ty and the oldest clergyman in South

Improving Ripley County Soils

/ in the vicinity of Acorn and near the
southeastern corner of the county. The
main body Of the fine sandy loan is
situated around Naylor and between
that town and Glenn.
The Sharkey series is represented
by the clay loan, having grayish
brown to almost black surface soils
1t occurs chiefly in two large areas
in the southeastern part of the coun-
ty.
How to Make the Most of Ripley
County Soils.
The following are among the sug-
gestions made in the report for the
use and treatment of specific soils in
Ripley County.
The GAINESVILLE gravelly loan under
present conditions seems best adapted
to live stock raising. On the rougher
areas pasturage may, be improved by
clearing and seeding orchard grass
and redtop. The Huntington gravelly
loan is also best used for pasturagc,
and much of the Rough stony land
can be put to similar use.
Organic matter is needed by such
of the GAINESVILLE soils as are cult
waited and also by the Decatur gravelly
loan, the Hagerstown silt loan, the
Huntington fine sandy loan, the Holly
silly clay loan, the Lintonia fine sand,
blowing and systematic crop rotations
are also recommended as means of
soil improvement.
Drainage is needed on much of the
GAINESVILLE silt loan, Huntington silt
loan, the Waverly soils, and the
Sharkey clay loan. This can be eff
fected in most cases either by open
ditch OF tiel drains. In the case of
some of the low bottom land soils the
building of dikes along the streams
will be necessary to proper utilization
Of the lands.
Applications of lime would be bene-
fetal to the GAINESVILLE silt loan. De-
catur gravelly loan, Hagerstown silt
loan, and Holly silly clay loan.
Among the soils already in good
condition are the Memphis silt loan.
Huntington silt loan, and Lintonia
fine sandy loan. These soils need
only the care necessary to maintain
them in good condition. This should
include systematic rotations and thor
ough tillage with an occasional addi-
ton of organic material.

SEVERE WINTER HAS.
HURT PEACH CROP.
Prof. Johnson Says All Buds Are
Not Dead-Expects Mod

by l.. +. Johnson)

Peach Crop.-The long cold dry
winter has hit the peache trees hard.
A large percentage of the buds have
been killed but enough appear to still
be uniniured to make a moderate crop
of fruit. If the peaches are thin on
the trees, they will average much lar
ger than those of a full crop and
bring a higher price on the market;
the three, also, will be benefited from
a light burden and be stronger for
the next year. We have now had four
successive peach crops. a very rare
event for thi Sdistrict. Peaches, too,
have proven to be very profitable, es-
pecially the early varieties. 1t is now
time to spray the trees for the scale
with lime-sulphur diluted with eight
times its amount of water, and in do
ing this, look for dried up peaches
still on the tree. These hard black
mumies shopid all be picked carefully
off and either burned or buried for
they are the remains of peaches that
rotted the year before and each one
carries millions of spores or seeds Of
this disease which destroys annually
great quantities of this fruit. The
same holds true of the plum.
Pruning.-Every pleasant day from
now on is a good time to prune all
trees and plants. Peach trees require
the heaviest pruning; about one-half

BICYCLES FOUND
AT NEGROES Home
Chief Huts0n Makes Raid OIL
Amos Adams Homo and Re.
covers Wheels.

| A numDef OF bicycles were recovered
Sunday evening at the home of Amos
Adams, negro, living near the tobac-
i, co factory, when his place was raded
by the police, under Chief Hutson.
| The wheels were taken to the station
where they are being held for identi-
tication by the owners.
Two complete bicycles. three extra
wheels and an extra frame of a girls
bicycle were found by the police. The
frame was identified by Ed Arlington
Of South Sprigg street, as that stolen
from his daughter several days ago.
The other wheels have not been iden-
titled.
The wheels of the girls bicycle had
been taken off and put onto another
bicycle which was also confscated in
the raid The saddle and the pocket
of the girls bicycle could not be
found.
Chief Hutson received information
Sunday evening that young colored
boy named Curtis Adams had several
bicycles at his home. He had return
ed that evening with a wheel which
had not been seen in his possession
before. Hutson and several police
men hurried to the house and sur
rounded it, but Young Adams could
not be found. 1t is presumed that he
saw the police enter the house and
left by the rear door.
According to Chief Hutson, Young
Adams was recently released from the
State Reform School in Boonville. He
is supposed to be hiding in the home
of a friend, and his arrest is expected
soon.
l nthe past weeks the police have re-
ceived numerous complaints Of bicycle
thefts.
Last Sunday two boys were robbed
of their bicycles. One belonging to
Ellis Daugherty, on South Pacific
street, was recovered Saturday after
noon by Policeman Whitener. It was
found near the shoe factory, in the
rear of vacant building. 1t was COW
cred with mud and from all indications
had been placed there a short while
before it was found. The bicycle had
the name of the owner on the seat,
and this lead to the Identification of
the wheel.
Adams told Chief Hutson that the
wheels were owned by his son and that
he had bought them. He denied that
he knew *hey were stolen. The BIZ
cycles will be held at the police station
until they are claimed by the owners.

out and given no further attention will
seldom live to attain bearing age. This
condition is largely due to the raw
ages of San Jose scale, pest that can
be controlled by proper and thorough
spraying. To demonstrate the best
and most practical method of doing
this work is the object of these meet
ings. Meetings will be held at the
proper time later in the season to ap-
ply the different fruit sprays. The
following are the dates of the different
meetings.:

and mules. This will enable the farm
err to return most Of the fertility taken
from the soil by these crops back to
the land in shape of manure. Wheat is
about the only crop which may be sold
off the farm. There is money in live
stock and prices will be high for years
to come. Work for dog law that
will confine their breeding to those
who keep only tforoughbreds. This
can be done by taxing the females
heavily. Most farmers lose much grain
by rats. Rats are a serious pest
about the barn and often kill many
chicks. The best remedy Is one or two
active terriers, which also make ex-
cellent watch dogs.
