COUNTY COURT TURNS
DOWN STE. GENEyIEvE
FARM BUREAU

The recently organized Farm Blu
reau of Ste. Genevieve county re-
ceived hard jolt when the County
Court refused to meet the Govern
ment conditions with an appropria-
ton Of $700 for expenses Of the Coun-
ty Agricultural Agent.
The placing of the Agricultural
Agent in every agricultural county in
the U. S. is part Of the war pro-
gram to stimulate agriculture during
the period of the war, This program
has back Of it the sanction of Presi-
dent Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture
Houston and the Congress Of the Unit
ed States. The National Council of
Defense has also defined this one of
the very important war activities and
placed it on par with Red Cross,
Thrift Stamp, Liberty Loans and Y. M.
G. A. campaigns.
The Government proposes to pay the
salary of an agricultural agent If the
county will organize Farm Bureau Of
300 members, 80 per cent Of whom
must be farmers and 20 per cent bus
mess men. Ste. Genevieve county
met this requirement by wide mar-
gin, according to very severe def
milton of farmer laid down by the
court. Thirty-four were marked off
membership list of 1926 paid MEM
bers, though most Of these were land
owners and renters Of land. Four
were marked off because the court did
not happen to be acquainted with
them. In view of 240 farmers being
required, Ste. Genevieve county went
over the top in her usual style with
81 members to spare.
Ste. Genevieve county is the 46th
county to organize under this plan
in Missouri, and the first to be turned
down. There have been sufficient funds
appropriated for the organization Of
so more counties in this State.

Cure for -Dysentery

"While l was in Ashland, Kansas,
a gentleman overheard me speaking
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 a violent attack of dysen-
terry, and had been given up by the
family physician. Some of his neigh
bors advised him 10 give Chamber
lain's Collie and Diarrhoea 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
remedy himself with equally crafty
ing results" Obtainable everywhere.

OWN GUNS STAY FOE
PAGE THREE

With the American Army in France.
Turning "Heinie's" own machine
guns back on him is the newest and
favorite stunt in a certain American
outfit.
The boys just stumbled onto this
sport and they like it.
Recently in raids the boys brought
back some German machine guns, af-
ter driving the Germans away from
their own strongholds.
"Why not use these German guns on
the Heinies?" one thinking dough-boy
asked his pals.
"You're crazy; we haven't any am
munition thatll fit them"
"Why can't we go over and get
sonnet" replied the thinker.
"Never thought of that" replied the
others; "we're on"
That night they raided the German
trenches and brought back plenty of
ammunition and another German MAJ
chine gun. Next day the guns were
playing on the "Heinies."
"They're darned good machine
guns" said one chap enthusiastically,
"but the Heinies don't know how to
use them. We do, though. We're get
ting little low on ammunition. Guess
we'll have to run over to Germany to-
night and make 'em hand out some
more"
