Prepared by the United States Depart

Gardeners of neighborhood, wheth-

find profit as well as pleasure in the
formation Of a local garden club, in
the opinion Of specialists Of the United
States department of agriculture. The
meetings can be conducted on the ba-
sis Of experience meetings to the mu-
tual advantage Of all. Beginners can
take advantage of the experience Of
successful gardeners, and thus obtain
much valuable advice they may not
find In books or papers on gardening.
In the present emergency, 1t is pointed
out, 1t is not only a privilege but a
duty to pass on the results Of garden
experience when such experience may
save another from error or increase
his chances of success.

READY FOR THE FOURTH LOAN

Missouri is ready for the Fourth
Liberty Loan, so far as money in the
banks goes State Bank Commission
er Enright announces that the total
deposits in state banks and trust COM
panies amounted to $4S4, 800, ,93609 on
June 28, the highest mark in history.
When the total deposits of the ma
tional banks are added, the grand to-
tai for the state approximates $780,
100000. The showing as to the state
institutions is especially significant,
In view Of the fact that compora-
lively few Of them belong TO the Fed
eral Reserve system, although the
largest are members. The nonmem-
bers have been at disadvantage as
to government deposits. Missouri has
responded literally to the three LIB
erty loans, the subscription to the
third being especially well distributed.
II is estimated that the state has paid
over s35O,OO0,0OO for governmen OBJ
legations within the year, yet the to-
tai deposits Of state financial institu-
tions are over s5O,O0O,O0O greater than
a year ago, practically all the gain
being in individual deposits.
This indicates that Missourians
lihave been sharing in war prosperity
even though no cantonment was To-
Gated in the state and comparatively
few -munition plants are running.
Much of the prosperity is due to the
stimulation Of agriculture and there
is every reason to expect It's continue
tion, along with growth in other
fines. 1
Missouri had an excellent organiza-
ton in the last loan drive and II is
presumed that 1t will be available for
the coming loan campaign. The pub
lie has been educated to the meaning
Of bond buying and everybody recog-
nizes the full significance of the war.
The quota will be much larger than
that Of the third loan, but with proper
organization and dlllgent activity,
Missourians win be able to reach 1t,
with their new esources.-Editorial
of Aug. 81, 1918.

Pay of Exemption Board

Conclusions drawn from a recent
statement made thru the Daily papers
by Gen. Crowder, head Of the Select
i've Service work of the army, have
been erroneous as to the pay of MEM
bers of the local draft boards thruout
the country. So many reports and
questions came to The Falcon as TO the
pay received by members of the Fay
ette County Board here that e repre-
sentative called at the Boards rooms
Wednesday and asked Capt. E. A. Mad

the following:
When the first draft was made men,

Stop Roup in Chickens Now

A co~kerel, not to be used for breed
ing purposes, should be disposed of as
soon as it attains a weight of two and
one-hslf pounds. 1t is not practical TO
caponize during the war. Feed cost is
too high.
The pullcts should be moved into win
ter laying quarters just as soon as the
cockerels are marketed, and they should
be compelled to use the perches for
roosting purposes. 1t may be neces-
sary to put them on the perches for
two or three nights, as the pullets may
have tendency to bunch on the floor.
This punching is harmful. In the ear
ly part of the night they will become
sweaty, and in the later part of the
night chilly. This continued overhead
ing and chilling, if allowed, will soon
cause bad cold, which will great y
lessen the vitality of the fowls, and
cause them to develop roup.

Falcon on Cash-in- Advance
Basis November |

Rule g. No publisher may continue SUBJ
scrptions after three months after date of expir-
alton, unless subscriptions are renewed and paid
for' The War Industries Board has found
great scarcity of newsprint paper which is used
in printing newspapers of this county and has
promulgated fifteen rules that sma(-town papers
like The Falcon must subscribe to in future if they
hope to secure paper to continue the publication.
The second rule in the LISTS the one we reproduce
in the first paragraph of this article.
The Falcon has for half century followed
the practice of counting its subscribers good for
their subscriptions and has carried all names un-
til ordered stopped By this custom it has lost
thousands Of dollars of subscription money, and
yet it continued rather than deny the paper to
anybody who wanted it. But this Government
order now comes in and compels us to change the
practice and from the first day of November we
will follow the rule quoted to the letter. We are
given until that date to collect back dues froms
subscribers and where payment lis not made it
will be necessary for us to cut the names from
our mailing list.
We will prepare at an early date subscription
bills for year in advance and we trust that every
subscriber will see our position in this matter and
give us sympathetic cooperation. Remit prompt
ly for the amount of the bill you will receive
and the paper goes right ahead to your address
each week. Fail and the paper must stop under
orders from Uncle SAM
