Setting Out The Plants.
Choose a cloudy, damp day for
setting out the plants, for on such
a day the plant breathes out but lit

deeper than they grew, lamp them in

beaf or two. Use only first-class
plants. The distance at which to set
the plants ranges from 81 feet to 6
feet. depending upon the richness
Of the soil.
C%ultivating kills weeds and saves
the soil moisture. When each pound
Of tomatoes uses up eight gallons Of
water, suficient and shallow cultiva-
ton to conserve the moisture supply
becomes vitality important. Guilt
waiting deeply often cuts off the roots.
Sound, ripe fruit weighs more than
either over-ripe or green fruit and
means better returns for the grower
and a better quality product for can
ming and other purposes. Quality
and flavor depend largely upon the
work of the picker. See that he is
properly instructed.
A large amount Of badly bruised
fruit Is caused by the use Of improp.
Ell packages. Never use q box OF
basket with perpendicular sides. as
the fruit in the bottom Of these has.

THE GERMAN PEOPLE ARE MAD

THE GERMAN PEOPLE ARE MAD
In Europe. January 6. 1918.
Mr.. C. A. Stephens, Sec'y,
Mansfield Lodge 54S. A. F. & AM.
Mansfield, Missouri. U. 8. A.
Dear Sir and Brother:
I am with the American Expedi-
tionary Forces in Europe, fighting
the barbarians of Germany. While
the censorship regulations restrict
me to a very limited scope in writing
I may. with propriety. say that the
American people can not realize what
devastation and suffering this terri
BILE war has wrought. The German
people have gone mad. They are
more terrible than the barbarians of
old; more cruel than the m~an-eating
savages of two hundred years ago.
They are fighting to dominate the
entire world. Liberty and Justice
will perish IL they succeed. The peo-
pie of America who love Liberty and
Justice must come to our aid. For
more than a hundred and forty years
the American people have defended
Liberty and Justice with their prop
erty, their lives and their sacred
honor. They must not fail to do so
now. else all that they have gained
by the blood Of their patriots will be
lost. and the fruits Of thousands of
years of civilization will perish from
the earth. Masons profess a love of
Justice. They should not now let
their deeds, or lack of deeds. belle
their professions. Every Mason
should do his full duty. I send fra
ternal greetings to my Masonic
Brothers from this war-sick. far-aw-
ay country. and implore them TO sup
port their government at this time.
II you should write to me please
address letters as follows:
Major Jesse B. Roote.
163rd U. s. Infantry,
American Expeditionary Forces
Nothing else need be placed on
the envelope.
Although 1t has been nearly TWEEN
ty-two years since I attended a COM
munication Of Mansfield Lodge, No.
49,.
543, no doubt many of the persent
members remember me. To them
and to all Of you, I send my fraternal
regards and best wishes.
JESSE B. ROOTE.

COL. l.. O. NEIDER.

The career of this eminent attor.
ney of Wright county, Col. l.. O.
Neider, furnishes a notable illustra-
ton of the union of those attain
ments. qualifications and personal
characteristics which enable a man
to become a success In the exacting
profession of the law. His vigorous
and versatile ability and his extern
sive and solid legal attachments have
won for him a we'll established stand
ard at the bar of all south Missouri.
Indeed, he is regarded as n of the
foremost and. leading legal authori-
ties in the Ozark mountain country,
Col. Neider was born at Hermann,
Mo-, and was admitted to the bar IN
1874, and he has been a continuous
practitioner of the laws Of this
state since that time. He served
three years defending the Union
cause in the Civil War, and he is
Justly proud of the record he made.
He was married in Iron county. Mis-
souri,, in 1879, to Miss Mary Russell.
and for 80 years they have lived hap
PLY together, and enjoyed the sweet
ness Of a congenial companionship
They came, to Mansfield in 1897,
where thew hava since made their
home, and where they have made
friends by the hundreds.
While the Colonel is in the even
ing of life, yet he is young In vigor,
spirit and ideas.

The question is asked why zinc

miners first called 1t Jack" in deris-
ion In the early days of lead mining
when a dark substance, which was
unknown to them, was found in large
quantities in connection with lead

dark substance was an impeachment

THE FARMERS AND MERCHANTS
BANK OF MANSFIELD.
The Farmers and Merchants Bank
of Mansfield is one of the strong fl
nancial institutions of Wright Coun-
ty. and this proud position is very
largely due to the untiring financial
instinct of its officers and the careful
management of the board of
directors.
This institution was founded in
1908, and was first located in the
Headley Building on the east side of
the square. In 1910 plans were laid
for a large. new brick building on
the north side, and in March, 1911.
