Saturdays Seed Corn Sale.

On account OF the bad weather,
which made the roads almost impass~
able not much corn could be offered
in the sale. However few local buy
ers were present and the committee
thought best to offer what was on
hand. The average per bushcl was Il
little over $500. some OF which. max
ing a good test was not as uniform as
should have been. rs Il general rule
the farmers are not careful enough III
selecting seed. Only between so and
100 bushels could be offered, How
ever this represented more than 200
bushels which helps to bring buyer
and seller closer together. which was
the aim OF the sale. Red Cross corn
brought $1,000. The committee is
grateful to all who assisted in this
sale and had ii not been so bad that
our trucks could not run, would have
had more corn and more buyers pres
cnt.

When the Selective draft for Mill

OF other County Officials made a
member OF the Bates County Military
Board by the Government in which
capacity | have served since that
time to the best of my ability L have
tried to administer the duties OF this
office without fear or favor, and al
though the work has been strenuous
labor, taken. as it is. in connection
with my regular duties as County
Clerk, it has been given freely to the
Government without pay.
There has not been, and should not
be, any political favors in the admin
stration OF the work of the Bates
County Military Board. Its work is
of a nature SO confining, and the reg
istration of all men who have become
twentyonc years of age since June
5th 1917, which we have already been
notified that we will be required to
do soon, will prevent me from max
ing an active campaign in the interest
of my Democratic denomination for
the office of County Clerk; and as

pires at the end OF the present year,
must rely on my friends who under
stand the situation and appreciate the
service / am rendering as a repre-
sentative OF the United States Gov

my behalf.

Farmers, Beware!

There has been an article scattered
broadcast over this state to the press
of Missouri, as we'll as other states
in regard to planting corn thicker
than usual where a low terminating
corn is to be planted. This article
was issued from the Office of lnfor-
nation L. S. d. A. The article in
question should be censored by all
newspapers as we'll as all wide-aWake
farmers, as it is Not at all practical
and gives the wrong impression to
the corn growers of this state. Such
practices would mean great deal OF
thinning, which is injurious to the
plants remaining. Now, Mr.. Farmer,
the article, have reference to is rot
and you should test your seed cora
before planting any only plant seed
of strong termination. Although
your corn may show o5 per cent or
better termination. see that every ear
shows strong termination. Now is
the time to raise bumper corn crop
and the only way for you to do SO
is to plant strong terminating seed.
Know what you are doing, don t
guess at your seed. Better be few
days later about planting and tesI
each ear of your corn, you plant.

Commercial Club Meeting.

On account of the absence from tht
city of a number of the directors o.
the Commercial Club the meeting
Tuesday evening was only talk
fest and no important business was
transacted.
The president appointed G. 2
Wyatt, Mrs J. F. Smith and Mrs
VIM. E. Walton as committee to act
in conjunction with the G. A. R. Post
in arranging for proper observance
of Decoration Day.
Mayor James A. DeArmond adj
dressed the club at some length in
behalf of the fire department street
sprinkling fund. On account of the
depleted condition of the treasury
the city can do nothing toward paying
the expenses of street sprinkling and
this necessary work must be paid for
by voluntary subscriptions. So far
the members of the fire deparement
had not been able to secure enough
subscriptions to justify them in
starting the work. 1t requires to-
tai of $4,000 to sprinkle the streets
during the season, pay for the driver,
the feed and shoeing. of the horses
and to furnish sleeping accommoda-
tions for the three firemen who spend
the nights at the station. More
money is required this year than
heretofore on account of the in
creased cost of operating the sprink-
Ter and paying for feed for the horses.
Mr.. De.Armond suggested that the
club should get behind the PROPOSE
tion and assist the boys of the lire
department in securing the necessary
subscriptions. After a lengthy dis
cussion, the president appointed FL.
G. Cook, Paul B. Levy and I. A..
Black as committee to aid the fire
boys in completing the
sprinkling fund.
H. G. Cook suggested that one way
to save water in street sprlnkling
would be to purchase street sweep
er. A sweeper could be operated to
great advantage, both in keeping the
streets much cleaner than they are
now kept and in the saving OF water
and the preventing of clouds of dust.
Mayor DeArmond was not sure that
the city council could at this time ap-
propriate anything toward the pur-
chase of a sweeper. A full discussion
OF the sweeper project followed, and
The Butler weekly times., 1918-04-25
BUTLER MISSOURI THURSDAY

it was the opinion of the members
present that a sweeper might be pur-
chased by private subscription
Mayor DeArmond addressed the
club at some length on the necessity
and desirability of providing parking
places for farmers and others who
come to Butler in autos. AT the pres
ent time, on busy days, there is
scarcely room anywhere in town tor
the autos, and on many of the side
streets they are frequently parked
two and three deep. The mayor said
that he had looked over the city
thoroughly, and SO far as he was able
to see there is only one way out Of
the difficulty at this time, and that is
to widen Lyon street at points where
it is now but little wider than an ordi-
nary alley. He drew a rough map OF
the street from Dakota street north
to Pine street, showing the places at
which the street might be widened
with benefit to the public at large and
to the surrounding property. After
the mayor had fully explained the
necessity for more parking space for
autos, general discussion of the
matter followed, and it was the opin-
ion of those present that Lyon street
should be widened. Three motions
were then made and carried. One
was 10 request the city council to be-
gin proceedings to widen Lyon street
north from Dakota street to Ohio
street; the second one was to ask the
widening OF Lyon street north from
Ohio street ITO Pine street; the third
was to ask for the widening of Chest
nut street east from North Nla'n
street to Lyon street which would
nccessitate the purchase of eight feet
o fthc Courtney lot, the building on
which was recently destroyed by tire.

John W. Murphy. jr.. and Miss

home of Rev Sherman Moore, where
they were united in marriage. Each
of them returned to their homes and
Sunday noon left for Kansas City,
where they are enjoying short hon
eymoon. Mr.. Murphy parents knew
nothing of the marriage until after
they had left for Kansas City Sum

Mr. Murphy. who will leave April

join the National army, is the third
son OF Mr. and Mrs Murphy to enter
the service of his country. Alfred,
carly in the war, enlisted in the artil-
lcry branch Of the service, and was
sent to Camp Doniphan, where he has
since been. Harry was in the last
draft quota from this county and is
now in the hospital with an attack OF
measles at Camp Funston. Richard.
the last son, will go in the draft
quota May 10. Four sons from one
