of Chamberlain's Collie and Diarrhoea
Remedy" writes William Whitelaw,
of DesMoines, Iowa. "He told me IN
detail of what it had done for his fam
lily, but more especially his daugh-
ter who was lying at the point of
death with violent attack of dysen-
terry, and had been given up by the
family physician. Some of his neigh

lain's Collie and Darrhoea Remedy,
which he did, and fully believes that
by doing so saved the life of his child.
He stated that he had also used this

STATE RECORD YIELD
FOR WHEAT

d. r. Hunter, of New Madrid, av-
eraged 1916 bushels of wheat per
acre on a measured 5-acre piece of
ground which was taken from 800
acre field that averaged 40 bushels
per acre. This is the highest report
ed yield for the State and is believed
to be the highest average yield on a
red winter wheat field Of this size in
the United States.
Mr.. Hunter produced this remark
able yield on wheat stubblc ground
on which he turned under a rich crop
Of stubble clover, after which the
ground was double-disked twice, har-
rowed four times, dragged. rolled,
and sown at the rate of one bushel
per acre, after the fiy-free date in Oc-
tober.
The wheat averaged five feet in
height and when cut, the seven foot
binder knocked out IS bundles min
ute. The field is free from sinking
smut and had only a small per cent
of loose smut. A fine crop of stubble
clover is again growing on the field
and with the application of a small
amount of phosphate fertilizer a lar
ger yield is predicted for next year.
Southeast Missouri is becoming
known as a red winter wheat district
and wheat crop this year is yielding
well.
Mr.. Hunter is a charter member of
the New Madrid County Farm Bureau.
He has entered the State contest for
the record yield of wheat, and from
all reports stands good show of win
ming this honor.-New Madrid Record

SOIL EXPERIMENTS
HELP FARMERS

For number of years soil expert
ments have been conducted in va
rions sections of. Missouri. Results of
these experiments, pointed OuVt by the
University of Missouri College of Ag-
ricnltnre, show that tile drain can be
installed proftably on the northeast
Missouri level prairie. Furthermore,
these experiments have demonstrated
that phosphate is the one fertilizing
element which can be applied very
proftably to Missouri soils. On a
few soils the application of readily
available phosphates has not brought
a profit. The readily available phos-
pilates have given somewhat better
returns during the course of expert
ments than the msoluble phosphates.
Lime has usually paid over much of
the soil area that has been tested.
This is particularly true where clover
has been grown. AS an average of
all experiments, including total of
more than 200 trials, approximately
one ton of ground limestone has given
an increased crop return of 5.3 in u
rotation Of corn, oats, wheat and clo-
yer.
1t has been shown conclusively thai
most Missouri soils need organic
matter. In this connection, barnyard
manure applied before corn at the
rate of 8 tons per acre in rotation
of corn, oats. wheat and clover, has
brought an increase valued at $780,
per acre, or $1.63 per ton of manure.

GRIND LIMESTONE AT HOME

Communities situated five miles or
more from the railroad, in regions
where the soil needs lime. and where
a local source of limestone is avail
able, should consider home grinding.
Those communities lying near ship
ping point can usually ship in ground
limestone as cheaply as they can
grind it. There are large areas in
Missouri, however. which will never
be. LINED until the home grinder comes
into use.
The cost of grinding will depend
upon the ease of quarrying the stone,
the size of the grinder. and the eff
cheney of the crew. In most cases,
however, so per ton is about as cheap
ly as it can be delivered to the farm
err.
Home grinding may be done CO.
operatively, or one man in the COM
munity may buy the outfit and do GUS
tom grinding. Communities which
consider home grinding should take
up the matter with the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture and
have samples of the soil examined
for sourness. M. F. Miller of the De-
partment of Soils says that the compo-
sition of the available limestone and
the demand for it in the community
should be looked into before grinder
is installed. He says the installation
Of grinder is highly desirable un-
der proper conditions. u.

kluck the German armies were to move west ward, or rather to converge upon Paris. The crown prince met with unexpected resistance from General Pau and far behind the schedule. He finally broke through, but instead of proceeding toward the northeast he began movement against the defeated French army, which moved the southwest An other French army thrown against him from the west and his position became perlous. It then that Kluck compelled to abandon the move ment against Paris to extricate the young lord
 It is hardly conceivable at this time that the prince should become emperor of Ger many. Still strange things are brought about by time Whether not Germany becomes, should remain, a republic will depend upon the character of the controlling element within the next few years. Undoubtedly there is still strong royalist sentiment in that country The people at large generally satisfied with the old government They may resent the confusion and turmoil attendant upon a popular government and it may be imagined, would return the old order. The roots of self government will strike a stubborn soil in Germany.

The Colombian Treaty

Among the few recommendations of the presi- dents latest message the ratification by the sen ate of the old treaty with Colombia, negotiated by Mir. Bryan with the Colombian government on April :, 1914. According to article III of this treaty the United States was pay Colombia s25,ooo,00o, what for it was not stated in the document itself though in article l we find that "the government of the United States wishing to put at rest all the contro- vcrsies and differences with the Republic of Colom bia arising out of the which the present situation on the Isthmus of Panama resulted, presses in it's name and in the name of the peo pie of the United States sincere regret that anything should have occurred to mar the relations of cordial friendship that had so long subssted between the two nations"
 That was not the first heard of such emoient to be applied to Colombias wounds. It first pro- posed in the Taft administration by enemies of Colo mel Roosevelt but the at that time refused to Iatify if. Perhaps there would have been no obec- ton to the payment of s25OOooOO to Colombia if reasonable excuse could have been found for it The objection was the attendant expression of regret that had wronsed Colombia.
 The Wilson administration hardly seated be- fore the project of dscredting Colonel Roosevelt resumed and the treaty negotiated It was stated that the S25,OOOOOO was be an indemnity and that Colombian vessels were to be allowed certain privi- leges in passing through the Panama canal, which by the way the administration denied to American ves- sels. It supposed that with democratic senate the treaty would now be ratified.
 But it transpired that some of the democratic senators patriotic than partisan. They declined to fasten stigma upon their country for any party advantage that might accrue. On February l7 of last the president addressed the senate committee on foreign relations deprecating the de- lay in the ratification of the treaty By this time the amount of the indemnity had been whittled down to sl5,000000. The called into special ses- sion March to ratify the treaty to act upon some i4OO nominations, confirmation of which had been withheld by the controversy the presidents nomination of his wifes relative and his physician, Ir Cary T. Grayson, to the rank of rear admiral. Again the ratification of the Colombian treaty failed as it must perpetually fail since it be ratified only by two-thrds vote.
 In his message the president finds a new areu- in favor of the ratification of the treaty of ad jusment and friendship At this time, while we are asserting friendship for the whole world, he be- lieves that should offer this proof of friendship for immediate neighbor. But relation with the world will probably not from the senate it's old time objection to what 1t has for years regarded a hod-up. It is unlikely that the place the president thinks have taken at the threshold of the millennium will induce the senate to consent to record that the United States guilty of a wrong against Colombia.

have as a rule, worn dark frocks of satin or of silk; dull blue is a. favorite tone. and with this large hat of some sort into which there Is not infre- quently introduced a vivid note of col or. One 1S-year- old debutante, who had hastily decided to become a. bride, wore a dark blue frock, a scarlet hat, and incongruity of incong ngruities-carried a large bouquet of lilies of the valley tied with white tulle. This peculiar combination was only to be explained by the fact that the distracted groom had gone to the florist and ordered "a bouquet for a bride" whereupon the florist quite obviously did his pravesr for the occasion.
 At the war weddings there are flags. Sometimes there are flowers, too. but always there are flags-hung from the galleries, above the altar, or set in standards beside the chancel rail- the colors contrasting vividly with the neutral tones of the stone walls and pillars. There is even at times patri- otic music.
 In the case of the wedding of young ensign to a girl who had never been a debutante, it was The Star Spanced Banner that brought the wedding guests to their feet instead of the wed ding march which it preceded. At least one New York wedding this season, the custom of having the wedding party pass beneath crossed swords was fea- tured. The groom, when he came from the chancel, was preceded by two standard bearers, one carrying the United States flag and the other the flag of his regiment. These stood at
