State Hospital
Spreading Out

State Hospital No. a has leased the
2O0-acre farm, adjoining that institu-
ton on the east, for the next year,
which will be farmed by the State
Hospital farm crew in connection with
all the other land it has been farm
ing so effectively and so successfully.
This farm belongs to Mrs. Jennie T.
Forster, and has been farmed for the
past several years by VIM. Martin. 1t
is one of the best farms in this COM
munity.
This addition to the farm acreage
gives that institution a total of farm
ing lands for the ensuing year of 857
acres, and will result in great produc-
ton, providing it is good year. But
whether or not the season is a good
crop year, generally speaking, it is a
foregone conclusion that under the ca
pable management of Farm Boss Gil
lespie the yield will be surprisingly
large, as his method of farming gets
results.

WEEKLY NEWS NOTES
BY COUNTY AGENT
The Government Requests More
Wheat from Missouri.

The Federal Government has seen
fit to call on Missouri for an in
creased wheat acreage for this falls
seeding. st. Francois county has been
asked to increase her acreage 13 per
cent. This will be difficult in some
cases, on account of the labor short
age and the lack Of available land.
But we are all going 10 do our best.
A short time ago, the County Agent
asked member of the Farm Bureau
liz he would be willing to increase his
wheat crop providing the price for
wheat remained the same. His reply,
it seems to me, is worth remembering.
It was, "As for be and my tribe, we
are going to SOW all the wheat we can,
and we would sow just as much if
the price was dollar and twenty
cents instead of two dollars and twen-
ey cents, because our boys and 'our'
government need it." The man who
made those remarks was sincere in ev-
cry word he said. He is the type of
man who is willing to do all he is
asked to do and then a little more.
Too bad more of our citizens are not
Of his type. Maybe we cannot all in
crease our acreage, but we can all
try to increase our yield. Let's put
our wheat in better, make a better
seed bed, fertiIize it better and then
harvest more and better wheat next
year.

Show Your
Patriotism

1t is the urgent request Of those
who will be in charge of the county
mass meeting, which will be held in
this city next Tuesday, that every cit
izen of Pennington put forth a little
special effort to decorate the homes
and places of business, in order to
give this city a truly patriotic ap-
pearance.
1t will be truly a patriotic occasion,
and no good citizen can afford to run
the risk of being designated a
Stacker. You may possibly feel
that you are being asked to do too
much. But is such a thing possible,
so long as you are permitted to enjoy
the peace and tranquility of happy
home, while the boys "over yonder''
have thrown their lives into the bal
ance.
Monday will be Pershing's Birth
day Drive, and the decorations should
be on for that day also. On Tuesday
it is expected there will be great
gathering in Pennington, from all
parts of the county, when reports
from the various districts will be
made; and it is anticipated that a
message will be sent to General Per-
shing that st. Francois county has
again "gone over the top. This
should be made the most patriotic oc-
casion of the year. Let everybody
decorate.
