of men OF Americas fighting forces
who have been nightly attacking the
little pins on the various alleys, and at
the solicitation Of a good many of them
we decided to hold two special nights

We wish to leave the arrangement OF

the ball over Pipp's head. Muddy Ruel,

Prenare For First Spray.

The first summer spray should
be applied in apple orchards af-
ter the cluster buds separate but
before the blooms appear, says
IT. J.. Talbert If the University
of Missouri College of Agricul-
.ture.
Use for this first spray COM
mercial lime sulphur at the rate
of ~ gallons to so gallons of
water plus 2 pounds of arsenate
of lead paste or / pound of the
powdered arsenate of lead. Dor
deaux (9-4-5Ol may also be US
ed with the arsenate of lead.
This is a very important spray
for the control of the canker
worm, plant lice, curculio and
apple scab disease. In orchards
where these insects and apple
scab are severe, good marketa-
BILE fruit cannot be obtained if
this spray is omitted.
Spray, therefore, just before
the apple trees bloom, again as
soon as the blooms fall, and in
ten days or two weeks make the
third spray. For best results at
least one more application is
needed about three or four weeks
after the third spray. A new
spray calendar, which gives
spraying information, has been
issued recently. A copy will be
mailed upon request to the Col
lege of Agriculture, Columbia.

and was graduated. Years later
the university conferred upon
him the degree of IL. d. Young
Stones law studies were under
the preceptorship of his broth
er-in-law, Colonel Taylor, and he
was admitted to the bar in 1868.
For a few months he practiced
law in Bedford, Ind, then re-
turned to Missouri and in 1870
opened an Office in Nevada, in
partnership with Judge C. R.
Scott. This partnership lasted
several years. Subsequently he
was associated in practice with
Judge D, P. Stratton and Gran,
VILE S. Ross.
Senator Stone first held public
Office in Vernon County, being
elected prosecutor in 1872 and
serving for two years. In 1875
he was a presidential elector on
the Tilden and Hendricks ticket.
But it was not until 1884 that
Stone put his foot on the first
rung of the ladder which leads
up from court house politics.
In that year he was the Demo-
cratic nominee for national rep
res~entative from what was then
the Twelfth Congressional dis
trict, comprising what now con-
stitutes virtually two districts
in Southwestern Missouri. He
served his district in the Forty
ninth, Fiftieth and Fifty-frst
congresses (1884-1890) and won
in those years some distinction
as a debater, but his record in
Congress was not eventful.
1890 he announced he would
not stand for reelection to Con-
gress, but would ask his party
for the gubesnatorial nomina-
ton in 1892, and the nomination
came to him at the end of an all
night session Of a state conven-
ton. Stone was elected govern
or by a plurality of thirty thous-
and. His opponent was the late
Senator Warner. At the expira-
ton of his term Mr.. Stone re-
Sumed the practice of law in st.
Louis.
For six years Mr.. Stone was
out of public Office, but not out
of politics. He was a member OF

Lexington, Mo-, April II, 1918.
Editor Intelligencer,
SIR
Permit M to compliment
the committee that was instru-
mental in getting up the Bond
parade. If we show the same en-
thusiasm in subscribing for
bonds, we are sure to go over the
top.
The committee on parade had
such a short time to make its
wishes known that the miners
were handicapped and unable to
make a better showing, and | am
authorized to state that it was
not through lack of sympathy
or patriotism that our numbers
were so few; but, instead, it
was a lack Of time to get our
forces together, otherwise we
would have mustered a thousand
strong.
We want to appear just what
we are, loyal to the core-and
don't forget that miners make
first class fighting men and the
many volunteers bear witness to
our potriotism.
Yours truly,
HARRY BLEE.
