MAIDEN Man UNDER
U. 5. INVESTIGATION
Head OF Cooperage Company AL
legged To Have Made Dis!Oyal
Remarks

Maiden, June 19.-An investigation
by United States officers is being
made into remarks alleged to have
been made by ]. 3. DreTup, manager
of the United States Cooperage Co,
which led to a fstic encounter be-
tween Drerup and City Collector

weeks ago, according to reports cur
rent in this city.
1t is said that the affair has been
reported to tire district attorneys of
flee in st. Louis and that an investi-
cation is under way to determine
whether the remarks credited to
Drerup warranted his prosecution I'M
der the espionage act.

sation the war was mentioned. The
verbal tilt became so heated that the
two men engaged in a fistic encoun-
ter resulting in the arrest Of Drerup,
who was later fined $25 in the police
court.
According to the statement of the
city collector, Drerup contended that
the United States and her allies
would never be able to conquer Ger
many, while Gregory defended the
cause of tne United States in the ar
gument The argument led to a
clash, following which the city col
lector swore out a warrant for as
sault and battery. Drerup pleaded
guilty and was fined.

County and in other sections of

ONE SIDE PARALYZED;
OVERWORK THE CAUSE
Southeast Missourian Is Taxed
Since Outbreak Of The War.
Must Take Rest

Washington, d. c., June 1G.-Con-
gresham Joe J. Russell of the Four
teenth Missouri District, who suffered
a paralytic stroke here yesterday was
still in serious condition tonight
John ". Boutwell,, secretary to the

side is almost helpless.
He became i'll yesterday morning

ed, but his physicians believe he will
snow a slight improvement within
the next two days. Many members
of Congress called to pay their re-
spects today, including Speaker
Clark and Senator Reed.
Mr.. Russell's illness is due to over
work. his physicians say. He has
been seriously taxed since the out

was the extra work of arranging fol-
the Mississippi Valley Waterways
Conference of the past few days.
Representative Russell was serious
ly i'll two years ago, due to an at

cent months he had enjoyed very
good health.

rest would be necessary to restore
him to health. He has been advised
during the past few months against
overwork, but he refused to desert
his post of duty.
Congressman Russell is one of>the
best-known men in the lower branch
of Congress, and his illness has
brought sincere regret to his host OF
friends.

PIGS in 3 MONTHS
Farmer Keeps Cab of Expenses
In Raising Porkers To De.
termile Costs

Columbia, Mo-, June 20.-Hogs will
return a profit at present prices of
feed and pork if they are fed the
proper ration. This fact has been
demonstrated by feeding test con-
Quoted by Luther Dawson, Johnson
County farmer. Mr.. Dawson fed
seven pigs from January 10, 1918, to
April 3, and made a profit of SO
hundred on them. The pigs were far
rowed August rs, 1917. During the
feeding test, which was conducted
under the dry lot conditions, the pigs
consumed 62.2 bushels of No. 2 corn,
100 pounds of of tankage, $50 pounds
of shorts, and 154 gallons of skim
milk. The total cost of feed for II
days was $125.45.
The corn was charged at $3.50 a
bushel, tankage at $1.O0 d ton, shorts
at $3.50 a hundred, and skim milk at
10 cents per gallon. At the beginning
of the experiment the seven pigs
weighed SO pounds, and at the close
1856. They made an average daily
gain of 2.11 pounds. They received
an average daily ration of 50 ears of
corn and Az pounds of shorts mixed
with 2 gallons of skim milk and wa
ter. They received tankage in self
feeder. The hogs were sold for S16.75
hundred in Warrensburg, which was
1913 above the cost of production.
F. A. Gougler, county agent for
Johnson County, and W. H. Rusk, ex-
tension specialist in animal industry
representing the College of Agricul-
ture. visited Mr.. Dawson's farm at
the close of the experiment and
weighed the animals. Mr. Dawson
furnished them the foregoing data
He did not weigh, the corn, but says
that the estimate of 62.2 bushels was
high.
Attention is called to the fact thai
Mr.. Dawson fed the pigs IN dry
lot. If he had had forage his profits
would have been even greater. be
cause feeding demonstrations have
shown repeatedly that greater profits
can be made when the nation is sup
plemented with forage.

MACHINES REPLACE
men ON The FARM
County Farm Agent Tells How
To Curb Shortage OF
Labor

By Seth Babcock, County Agent.
Farm machinery makes it possible
in some places and at some times for
one man to do the work that two did
before.
Along the Cape Jackson gravel
road is a piece of corn that is being
cultivated by two big strong men,
each with a single horse and a double
shovel, following each other around
the field. In another field of corn
on the Egypt Mills road is boy
about Is years old driving two big
horses hitched to a riding corn cult
vator. The boy is doing more and
better work every day than the two
men.
The pitch fork is entirely too COM
mon tool in our hay fields. The side
delivery rake and the hay loader will
save a lot of hard hand labor. Then
the sling and big door into the hay
NOW will speed up the work of MAX
ing hay. In all of this it is not only
to save labor but we must beat the
weather. Often this hay machinery
means the difference between high
priced bright hay, and mouldy spoil
ed hay that ought not to be fed to
stock.
Last week | asked one of the big
employers of labor in the Cape if he
would shut down his mill so his men
might help save the wheat and hay
crops. He came back at me with two
questions. One was will the farmer
come in and help me out when l am
rushed to fill a norder? The other
question was this, What kind of tools
will my men have to work WITH In
my mill | have the most improved
machinery. Will my men feel if they
go out on the farm that their time is
being used to the best advantage or
will they feel that they might better
go fishing?
Of course we can not change the
methods in the midst of the season,
but next year the labor will be
scracer than it is now. We want to
get ready for it as soon as possible.
If any needing help to save the
crops, threshing and other farm work
will phone or see me | will be able
to furnish labor. / have one man
who wants permanent work. He has
wife and four children and of course
will have to have place to live.
Farm Bureau News.
The Farm Bureau will publish a
monthly paper. This will be sent to
all of the members of the Farm Blu
reau. Through this paper we will
try to keep the members informed of
the different lines of work that the
Bureau is attempting. There will be
reports on the various demonstrations
and projects that are being carried
on.
One of the features that can be
made very valuable is the Exchange
Department. Here each member of
the bureau can list without cost any
article he may have to sell or want
to buy. Seed, machinery, live stock,
produce, anything and everything
can be advertised.
The Executive Committee of the
Farm Bureau will have their first
meeting Saturday, June %, at 2 p. m.
in Jackson. At this meeting the Com
munity Committeeman will be named.
The matter of securing office help
and Office equipment and arranging
for the publication of the "News"
will also come before the committee.
