These Farmers Did Not Sell the
Hen That Lays

Last fall Greene County conduct
ed an extensive campaign to elilni-
nate the Stacker hen The cam
paign was conducted by the Uni
versity of Missouri Agricultural En-
tension Service in cooperation with
the Greene County Farm Bureau.
AS a result of this campaign S5S
ilocks were culled. $4,000 hens
handled and over $4,000 sold as
culls 1t was estimated that this
campaign saved the farmers oi
Greene County $4,000. That the
Stacker hen was sold is shown by
this paragraph fro mthe Springfield
Leader: When Missouri entered
upon her vigorous poultry culing
campaign she deprived the commits
sion men of a considerable source
oi profit. They had been in the
habit OF taking as velvet the eggs,
usually one to two dozen to each
crate, laid Ell route from the coun-
try to the central market. When the
usual number of frees" failed to
be turned in they thought at first
that someone was appropriating the
eggs. but investigation showed that
the farmers and poultrymen were
selling the buyers only the hens
which either had not laid or were
loafing. ON the job.

House Members Continue Fight on
Senator ]. A. Reed.

Jefferson City. April ANTI
Reed members OF the house of rep
rcsentatives apparently are deter
mined to permit no lull in their
fight upon the senior United States
senator from Missouri One of their
steps to keep alive public interest in
their opposition to Senator Reed
was to invite Frank Iarris to deliver
an address yesterday afternoon in
the house chamber on the league of
nations, The feature of the address.
was an attack upon Senator Reed
and his attitude.
Earris charged that Senator Reed
is actuated by spite in his attack up
on the Wilson plan. Farris took the
stand that Senator Reed has a right
to criticize the league plan. but not
to make such an attack upon the
president as the senator made in an
address here three weeks ago.

Germany is not Socialist Repub-

Paris newspaper whose interview
has been autographed here.
The position OF things i'll Ger

President said. I'VE are faced with
all kinds OF difficulties. Our indus

recover her balance. The number

PASSING OF THE BOOZE
FIGHTER
He Was More Sinned Against Than
Shining, Says a Writer.

With the passing OF John Barley
corn, the booze tighter begins to-
pass. He was often more sinned
against than SHINING and his weak
ness gave him a humility that made
him sometimes more likable than
the man who tried to reform him,
1t was probably the only virtue that
Barleycorn had that he made men
humble and brought them to their
knees before God. If hypocrisy. like
the sin OF drinking, should cause a
staggering OF the legs, or some
other outward and visible sign OF
an inward and spiritual disgrace, the
Pharisee would pass with the booze
fighter"

A DRASTIC BONE DRY BILL
Missouri House of Representatives
Passes Radical Liquor Bill.

Jefferson City.-ApriL +.-ANarning
don't spend too much filling your
cellar with booze to drink after ma
tlonal prohibition goes into effect.
F->ihr Missouri legislature may send
around someone to search your
place. seize the liquor and pour it
into a gutter
The best way to prepare for pro-
llibition. in the minds OF Missouri
representatives is to swear off when
the nation goes dry, just to enforce
that plan, the law makers are, put
ting through one OF the most drastic
bone dry measures ever consid-
cred by any legislative body.
The bill already has passed the
house OF representatives and is bfore
the senate. There is Il hitch in the
upper house, however, principally on
account OF opposition by senator's
who voted for national prohibition,
but admit frankly they like drink
now and then.
One of the dry" senators states
blandly that he has six barrels OF
whisky slowed away Tor the long
drouth.
Senator Seth Young, sponsor for
the bone dry Legislation in the sem
ate, attempted to bring up the meas
,1re for consideration by commit
tee of the whole of the senate to-
day, but was headed of by other
dry" senators who asked him to
give them chance to draw amend
ncnts.
The bill fairly bristlcs with restric-
tons on the sale, possession or even
drinking OF intoNicants after .Janu-
AIRY 10, 1920
The fines range up to $1,000 and
lail sentences up to year
The principal feature bars the
sale, giving away, manufacture,
transportation or possession OF
liquor. my person or firm desiring
to manufacture or sell it for medic
inal or scientific purposes must put
up bond of 5000 which can be
forfeited by a circuit judge upon
two convictions OF violations OF the
law.
Druggists must put up a bond OF
ST 900 before they can sell it for
medicine on physician prescrip-
tion. Doctors must put up a SINH
lar. bond before they can prescribe
it. The courts have the option of
FORGETTING the bonds without jury
trials.
Railroads, steamboat lines and
other transportation companies are
made liable il they transport any
liquor. even though it be concealed
in Il package labeled something else.
When they carry liquor for medicin-
al or scientific purposes, they must
report the shipment to the a,lthorl-
ties and the package must be labeled
clearly ON the outside as to the kind
OF Nuuur contained.

FAILURE TO BRING lNNFORMA-

NOLLE PRESSED IN COURT

Failure to bring an information
against former policeman Charles
Nell necessitated a nolle pross OF the
case against him in the court OF rec
ord yesterday by County Solicitor II.
j. Mackey.
However, a second information was
filed against him charging a similar
offcnse Immediately after court was
dismissed charging Nell with guilt
for an identical crime alleged to have
been committed December 5 last. Mr..
Aackey said last night that the sec
ond charge against Nell would be
pressed at once.
The new law makes il necessary for
the prosecution in such a ease as
NcIrs to prove that the woman in the
question is OF previous chaste char
acter. This was not charged in the in
formation brought against Nell for Il
crime alleged to have been committed
January - last.
For this reason County Solicitor
AIackey who saw his case failing en-
tered a motion OF nolIe prosse and dis
missed the case against Nell. Papers
had not been served on the former po-
liceman last night in the new case.
40 date has been set for the future

After moments hesitation,
Secretary Balfour replied, zone
