may become if the men who earn
these high wages cannot buy food be-
cause there is no food. If the supply
of bread, milk or meat is curtailed by
the farmer refusing to work more than
six, seven or eight hours a day, Amer
lea, with all its wonderful resources,
and opportunity will get a setback
from which it will take long time to
recover.
Mr.. Farmer today is saying to the
miners and the men employed in in
dustry: "You want me to produce
more so that you may buy food at a
low price; but while you are asking
this, by your strikes and demands for
shorter hours, you are producing less
and less of the things | have to buy.
/ am getting tired of this. Why should
carry the burden of construction
while you compel me to pay ruinous
prices for the goods you produce? If
you will produce all you can will pro-
duce all | can. and we both will be
gamers, but if you produce as little
as you can l will do the same and |
will suffer less than you. Two can
play at this game of underproduction,
and, while | do not care TO do so, if
necessary l will give you a dose Of
YOUR own medicine"

the market downward, but movement
has been satisfactory and the outlook
still remains of an encouraging ma
ture, though, of course, volume Of re-
ceipts must be taken as a prime fac
tor in the markets development,
either toward a downward or upward
basis, though we are more inclined to
believe that the tendency would be to-
ward a stronger level due to the fact
that the run of western cattle is vir-
tually thing of the past for the year.
HOGS.--Recovery of strength in
this department until the current mar
ket is but 15c per cwt. under the trade
week ago, was rather unlookedfor
in face of tremendous run of hogs,
not only here, but in all western mar
kets. All buyers have been forceable
factors in the trade, indicating a dis
position at the outset of the markets
of each day to purchase their supplies
at lower values, which, in every in
stance, however, has proven of sur
face character, as the comeback waas
aggressive and the close of each days
session showed the highest phase of
the trade. Right at this time the bulk
of the good hogs weighing 1870 pounds
upwards are selling from $14.75 to the
top, and we wish to emphasize the fact
that the price range now existing be-
tween light stuff and heavy weights
is the narrowest it has been in many
months.
SHEEP Of late weeks, this depart
ment of the market has shown a evry
variable basis, at times indicating con-
siderable sluggishness and again ac-
tivity, low spots being recorded down
as low as $14.75 for best lambs and
up around SIS per cwt. as the present
in force, thus showing current trade
fully SOC to 75c higher than a week
ago today. The supply has continued
very liberal, more so than usual for
the time of year, but in spite of this,
outlet has also expanded, and barr
ing the fluctuations, has been a COM
paratively decent sort of trade.

interpretations of mutual indemnity
associations, and of mutual insurance

tie the sprinkling and oiling of

pensation for wofkmen if injured or

stow on married women certain rights

lance and popularity is a measure
aimed and intended to give Missouri
system of good roads equal to those
possessed by any other State, and one
which will allow the State to take
full advantage of all Federal financial
aid.
And now comes a huge accomplish
ment in high finances which ought to
be recalled on Thanksgiving Day.
When the present administration took
charge of the affairs of the State,
January 8, 1917, there existed State
deficit of over 100000, small por-
ton dating back many years, but
which assumed alarming proportions
in the year 1909, and from then on
steadily grew in size. To meet the OBJ
legations and save the credit of the
State, Governor Gardner borrowed
from St. Louis bank an amount am
ply sufficient to meet all lawful claims
and through the State Auditor and
Treasurer paid all creditors, large and
small, in cash. This financial activity,
coming when it did, saved the fair
name of Missouri and restored it to
its former high standing among all
States. Through rigid economy in the
management of the affairs of the
State from then on, including close su-
pervision Of the expenditures of all
State institutions and departments,
and aided by needed legislation in ear
ly 1917 which increased the general
revenue of the State, Governor Gard
ner, in less than two years, was able
to pay back the S2,000,OO0 loan and
put Missouri again on a sound finan-
cial basis. And this was accomplish
ed without depriving the State school
fund of it's just and full share of all
moneys the State Constitution sets
aside annually for that purpose.
The above State government
achievements, most of them non. parti-
san events, constitute some of the
reasons why many Missourians will
offer humble, earnest supplications on
Thanksgiving Thursday, November
27, 1919.

Men who realize the value of ex-
perience to be gained in learning the
methods of feeding and management
employed by the most successful breed
ers make the best official testers.
Testers are paid $3.50 to SO day, de-
pending upon qualifications, service,
etc. All travelling expenses are paid
so that this is really equivalent to 500
a month or better.
The duties of the tester are to
weigh the milk from each milking dur
ing the period the COW is on official
test. This is for two days in the
semi-official yearly work and for sew
en- days or longer in the strictly Off
cial tests. The tester works under the
dairy department of the College Of
Agriculture, and is directly response
bic to it for the supervision Of all
tests which he conducts.
