CONFEDERATE PENSION BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE
Salary Increase Bills Must be
Checked to Provide Necessary
Fund.

! Jefferson City, Mo-, April IL
The measure providing for pensions
for ex-Confederate soldiers and
widows, and carrying an appropria-
ton OF 100000, was passed by the
House today by vote of - to FL.
The measure provides for pen
sion of $40 month for all old SOL
diers who own property worth less
than $1,000. This is the same
amount that is allowed old soldiers
under the present law, from which
there is now a deficiency of $27o,ooo
The pensions are for those men
who served in the regular volunteers
from Missouri, the Missouri State
Guard of 1S6I-62, known as the Jack
SON State Militia, Missouri Militia
and the enrolled Missouri militia.
The bill was introduced and spon-
sored by Representative Speer of
Bollinger County. He drafted the
measure i'll conjunction with State
Adjt Gen. Harvey c. Clark.
There were some objections to the
new bill, on the ground that it would
deprive Confederate soldiers who
had not enlisted in this State from
the pensions. 1t was on this score
that all OF the negative votes were
cast,
Corbett OF Pemiscot County de-
clared that number OF old soldiers
who had lived in his county for
many years, would be deprived of
the pension because they had served
in the Confederate Army OF Tennes-
see. Maxey OF Bates declared it was
not the intention to place suck an
Interpretation OH the measure which
would result in depriving any citizen
of the pension.
Under the bill it will be necessary
for the present pensioners to make
out new applications in conformity
with regulations of the Speer act, APP
proved by the Adjutant General.
The present deficiency OF $4,000 |
for the Confederate soldiers was
taken care OF yesterday in the gen
eral deficiency appropriation meas
ure. Unless there is stop on the
salary increase bills in the General
Assembly, and large increase i'll
the State revenue over that now in
Dictated, there will not be sufficient
money in the general revenue fund
Of the state to meet the appropria-
ton OF 100000 in the Speer bill.

BUILD NOW" PLANS READY
Headquarters Will Soon be Opened
in Kansas City.

The Build Now movement was
given strong impetus Friday at a
luncheon attended by about seventy
five Kansas City business men at the
Hotel Muehlbach. Members OF the
association forwarding the building
program, who had visited number
of industrial concerns in regard to
the campaign, reported promises of
cooperation.
The preliminary work of the move
mcnt is progressing rapidly. Ar
engagements are being made to estab-
lish headquarters in the Glendale
Building, Tenth Street and Grand
Avenue. Information OF all kinds
pertaining to building will be kept on
file.
According to material men the
public must realize that a further
drop OF any consequence in prices is
wholly improbable I'VE are on a
price level now" said one OF them
yesterday, that must be maintained
for a number of years, as the great
war debts were incurred with prices
as at present, and sudden return to
prc-war figures would double the ef-
fort necessary for the world to pay
these debts
The stablizing OF labor. and the
fact that it will not stand for re-
duction in wages is brought forth as
reason why building now
should be the rule. Anyone who
waits for material and labor to be re-
duced in price has long inactive
period ahead, is the way well
known home builder summed up the
situation.-kansas City Star.

Missourians Live Well This Winter.

Hog and hominy" are no lon ger
considered a sufficient meal for the
Missouri family. While the farmer
IS thinking of balanced rations for
the fattening hog and the dairy cow,
the housewives are planning bal
anced meals for, the family. This
change has been due, in great meas
IRE, to the work of the home DEM
onstratton agents who are helping
the housewives with their various
problems.
| After witnessing demonstrations
by the home demonstration agents,
$50 women, few in each commun-
ity, agreed to keep a record of their
results and report. While last year
was rather lean one, these reports
| from the small number of women
show that their larders were stocked
with I2o,596 quarts OF fruits and
vegetables for winter consumption.
And when the supply OF containers
was exhausted, these women resort
ed to drying, using homemade driers
modelled after the ones exhibited by
the home demonstration agents; the
resulting products, fruits and vege-
tables, increased the food supply by
$500 pounds. To this supply was
added 500 gallons of brined pro-
ducts along with 1o,627 quarts Of
pickles.
10 keep the members of their fam
HES sufficiently sweetened without
exceeding their sugar allowance,
these women provided 1907 quarts
OF preserves, jams and marmalades,
with o,lo4 glasses OF jelly, many be-
ing made by using sugar substitutes.
In addition were 5000 dozens of |
th'rty-two cent eggs preserved in
water glass following the direction
OF the home demonstration agents. |
Six hundred dozens OF these eggs
were preserved by the domestic
science teachers in Montgomery
County, thus passing the information
on to the girls.
Acting upon the suggestion of the
home demonstration agent, a woman
in Clay County packed ?. pounds Of
-tlve-cent butter in heavy
brine to be used in midwinter in
stead of sixty-cent butter.
The producing hen was not
only culled but canned, as meat cam
ming demonstrations followed the
culling ones. No longer is it neces-
sary for the family on the farm 70
feel that they must consume all the
and spare ribs within few
weeks after butchering to prevent
spoilation since these products are
canned and stored SO along with
the -bountiiul supply OF vegetables
and fruits reported from this small
group OF women was that of ,262
quarts OF chicken, pork, mutton and
beef.
One Atchison County woman
who was leaving the state canned IS ,
chickens rather than sell them. To {
went 80 quarts each OF |
chicken and spare ribs and 70 quarts
NJ sausage canned by Cape Cir t

moving to the Quaker City.

BUTLER SCHOOLS MUST
HAVE MORE MONEY
A Special Election May be Called to
Vote an Additional Levy for
Improvements to
Buildings.

More or less extensive repairs are
absolutely necessary on some of the
Butler school buildings, particularly
the Washington school, which needs
a new roof and the Franklin school,
where new heating plant must be
installed, besides the Douglass
school is badly in need OF certain re-
pairs. All of which will entail an en-
penditure of something like $4,000
and the school board has no money
on hand that may be expended for
this purpose.
Friday evening a committee from
the board of education, consisting of
Judge Silvers, president OF the
board, and Mrs. E. G. ley and J. L.
Harper met with the directors of the
commercial club at the office of J.
E. Harper, secretary of the board.
Judge Silvers explained the needs Of
the schools and told of the condition
of the treasury. The matter was
then taken up and discussed by
those present and it was finally de-
cided that the only way out of the
difficulty was to hold special cleo
ton to decide on increasing the
school levy to such an amount as is
necessary to make the required i'm
provements and repairs. In order
that the voters of the district may
be fully informed on the needs for
the increased>levy a call for a public
meeting to be held in the circuit
court room in the court house on
the evening of Friday evening,
April Is, was made, at which time
the matter will be fully discussed.

of the enemy countries to make rec
ompense fully for those losses an
inter-Allied commission will assess
them on just basis for thirty years,

Palatability of Silage De-
pends on Time of Cutting

The feeding worth and palatability
of good silage depends on the quality
of the corn and the period Of matur-
itv at which it is cut. Where the corn
is cut when tbs immature, not well
glazed and dented, and still in its
juvenile stage, it makes washy, low
quality, acid-forming silage which IS
likely 20 sour. On the other hand,
corn harvested when it is we'll dented
and at the proper degree OF ripeness
for best use as silage, gives winter
feed which is one of the best Frodu-
GERS of milk and meat. Corn should be
allowed to pass we'll through the milk
stage and become thoroughly dented
before being sliced. Investigations CT
the United States Department OF Ag-
riculture have demonstrated that 1t IS
much preferable for silage OF the best
quality, to have the corn little over
ripe rather than underripe.
In some sections farmers. shd par
| ticuIarly dairymen, are accustoh'eu "
ensile combination crops, using mix
lures of soy beans and corn, cowpeas
and corn, sorghum and corn' or a
combination of these three for canning
purposes. AS a general proposition
where other branches of animal nus
bandry in addition to dalrylng, are
taken into consideration, corn or some
other coarse forage is most deslraple
for ensilage purposes. Acre yield Is
the end sought, the chief objection to
the valuable protein forages such as
cowpeas, soy beans and the like belhe
that they are low yielders better
adapted for hay than for silage. Dairy
farmers who require an abundance OF
succulent silage of rather balanced
composition highly prize the legumir
Gus crops mentioned as supplements
to corn and usually realize an ade-
ouate return from the sale OF thei
milk to allow them to produce ehes'
crops at profit.

Dog Took Song as a
Tribute to Himself

An old lady who was a friend of
the poet Whittier, tells the following
story:
At one time when his birthday was
being publicly celebrated, he had as
a guest Mrs. Julia Houston West, then
the most beautiful oratorio singer in
America. After the dinner Whittier
asked her to sing. She chose for her
selection the ballad "Robin Adair,"
which she sang with great pathos and
feeling. Hardly had she begun the
song when Whittier's pet dog came
into the room, walked over close to
her side and stared up at her with
every expression of delight. When
she had finished, he lifted his paw to
shake hands, and then, leaping up, he
licked her cheek.
Ellis name is also Robin Adair," ex-
planned Whittier, $50 he takes that
song as tribute to himself"
And very evidently he did. From
that moment he devoted himself to
Mrs. West, hardly leaving her side,
indoors or out, during her visit; and
when she went away he carried her
travelling bag in his mouth as far as
the carriage, and showed his sorrow
over her departure in every way that
dog could.-Youth's Companion.
