COUNTY FARMERS
ORGANIZE FARM BUREAU

The farmers of Jefferson County
met last Friday at p. m. in the JEFF
ferson Theatre and perfected the or
ganization of the Jefferson County
Farm Bureau. Jefferson County is
the 55th to organize Farm Bureau
For sometime the county has had a
Home Demonstration Agent.
The officers and Executive Commit
tee were selected from different parts
of the county and promise of being
splendid timber for a successful COM
mittee.
The success of the membership
campaign was due to the large number
of live men in the county who took
hold with will to make the organiza-
ton q success.
There has probably never been a
two weeks campaign conducted in the
state with better results. Owing to
the short time given the campaign
two more weeks will be put in hold
ing meetings in some parts of the
county not reached. This will be done
the first two weeks in February.
The Executive Committee is as fol-
lows:
President George Sullens, Hillsboro,
Route 3.
Vice President, Chas. Lawrence,
Kimmswick.
Secretary, Henry Toulounce, Plat
tin.
Treauurer, Robt. Holekamp, Hills
boro.

Soto.

The DeSoto High School Chorus
sang a recent song written by a Far

heard in regard to the able manner
in which this was rendered.

EXTENSION SERVICE
TO EMPLOY FARMERS

Successful farmers are to be enlist
ed, with pay, by the Agricultural Ex-
tension Service of the University to
help carry on the continuous campaign
for better farming. Men who are OPP
Grating farms successfully, who are
recognized leaders in their commune
ties, who have ability to meet and talk
entertainingly and knowingly with
their neighbors, and who are in SYM
pathy with the organized endeavor to
build up in Missouri most efficient
farms, are the men the Extension Ser
vice will employ under the simple til
tie, Lecturers in Farm Practice"
A. ]. Meyer, director, believes that
with such men supplementing the staff
of scientifcally-trained workers most
effective results will be accomplished.
This will also be giving to the sue
cessful farmer a measure of deserved
recognition.
Lecturers in farm practice will have
their headquarters at their own farms,
and their duties will consist chiefly
in giving lectures at meetings of farm
ers, following regular itineraries ar
ranged by the Agricultural Extension
Service.

Dear Dad dwell, l am having a
great time on my leave of absence.
This is certainly a beautiful coun-

instead of going somewhere else. |
may go to Paris on my way back to
the regiment. The climate here is
excellent.
The grass is green, the flowers are
blooming and the orange trees are
loaded with ripe oranges. There are
fine gardens everywhere, but most of
them are small, as the Maritime Alps
come right down to the sea here and
there is no coastal plane.
This is the most beautiful place
that | have ever seen. The roads are
grand and the chateaus are simply
immense.
Today five of US chartered car and
went to Monte Carlo, Monaco, and
Newton. From Newton we journeyed
down to the harbor between France
and Italy. We got out of the car
went over the line few hundred feet,
bought some postcards from an ltal-
ian woman and mailed them with
Italian stamps.
We went down by the Mediterra'
mean Sea and came back by the noun

tables and rooms at Monte Carlo, also
the museum at Monaco which belongs
to the Prince of Monaco.

TALLEST LAWMAKER
is ON THE JOB

State Senator Charles ]. Belken, of
Fredercktown, Republican Senator
from the Twenty-sixth Senatorial
District, enjoys the distinction of be-
ing the tallest man ever elected to
either branch of the Missouri General
Assembly, according to old-time law
makers.
Belken is six feet, six inches high,
in his stocking feet and Public Ser
vice Commissioner E. j. Bean, who is
not low and squat, looks understood
when standing by Belken.
When the genial Senator of the G.
o. P. from Fredericktown walks
through an ordinary door he must
duck his head.
P. A. Sanning, of Mary's Home,
post master of the House, is consid-
cred pretty tall man, but he can al
most walk under Belken's arm.
Belken finds the jefferson City beds
almost too short for him but by cup

INTEREST Is REVIVED
IN HOLY LAND

A certain series of maps that have
made their appearance in many store
windows, at post offices, railroad sta
tions, and even in churches and school
houses, is arousing in both old and
young an interest in the geography of
the oldest country of which most of us
have not even vague knowledge.
This map contains line at the
top, that reads as follows; "Where
millions of human beings are starry
ing-Western Asia" This map does
not begin to tell the story alone. The
Geographic reports in your daily pa
pers tell of the suffering and dying.
The map merely fascinates one with
the names that he became familiar
with in childhood, and that even now
fills him with reverential awe when he
sees them reckoning to him from the
map.
For it is the Holy Land that is
shown so conspicuously in the very
center of this modern chart. There
is shown Jerusalem, the magnificent
city of David, the city around which
the Bible is written. Directly north,
and not far removed is Nazareth
where Jesus grew to manhood, and
began his work. Just few miles
southwest of Jerusalem appears Beth
lehem, where the angels rejoiced when
he was born in the manger. At other
points on the map are shown Damas-
Gus, said to be the oldest city in the
world, and Tarsus from which the
Apostle Paul lived before he became
Jesus most devoted follower.
And while the map with the familiar
names arouses memories of the Sab
bath school and the lessons taught at
mothers knee, one wonders why the
map now in this twentieth century
takes on new interest.
And that is the pity of it. In all
of those sacred places grim want and
pestilence stalk. Thousands of fol-
lowers of Christ, driven from their
homes by the Turks in the world war,
bereft of all their possessions, are dy-
ing from actual starvation, and the
stricken lands around them are unable
to extend helping hand.
Jesus is not there in body to per-
form the miracle of the loaves and
fishes, nor to change the water into
wine. The places where Christ press
ed his feet are now the abode of dire
distress. The stricken millions reach
out their hands to America for the
things that will save their lives.
America the land of plenty, un.
scathed by war, and with her unlimited
financial resources undrained, is the
only country that can give the re-

MALT SUGAR SIRUP
IS SUGAR SUBSTITUTE
Former Component in Making OF
Beer Recommended by Depart
ment Of Agriculture.

A new substitute for sugar. said TO
be available in commercial quantities
is recommended by the United States
Department OF Agriculture. This IS
malt sugar strip. which the federal
experts say has high food value and
delicious flavor. somewhat resembling
that Of honey, which adds much to its
palatability and value as sugar sub
stitute.
While malt sugar has long been
known to chemists, it's production on
commercial scale is only beginning.
Two factors have stimulated It's
production recently. The shortage
of sugar has developed market Tor
1t, and the recent prohibition law mas
made availa BILE both the raw material
and the machinery needed for its
manufacture. Malt sugar strip Is
made from the same grains as beer,
and may be made from corn or pota-
toes. or any plant containing starch.
Barley, which was used until recently
in the manufacture of beer, can be
used now to produce malt sugar strip.

Churchman'S League of D. C.
Gets Report of Conven-
ton at Detroit.

More than one hundred members of
the Churchman'S League of the Dis
trict of Columbia met last night in
the assembly rooms of the Cosmos
Club to hear Bishop Alfred Harding,
Rev. R. II. McKim and other members
Of the Episcopal clergy speak on facts
CLEANED from the recent Episcopal
convention held in Detroit. The meet
ing last night was the first OF the
church calendar year and was also
the first time the league had met In
adopted making it permanent meet
ing place.
Bishop Harding Makes Plea.
Bishop Harding spoke on his desire
to free the Bethlehem Chapel, at
Mount Saint Adams. of debt. OF which
some $11 900 remained to be paid. He
said that he was touched by the great
sacrifices that clergymen of various
nearby parishes were making In e1-
fort to do their part in this respect.
He stated that some of the contr1pu.
lions received were in the form OF
war savings stamps and postage
stamps.
Speaking of the convention, he de-
ciared that the system of the open
door, was a great surprise to every
one there. but was an example OF the
democratic spirit that was constantly
evidenced. The open door. the bishop
stated. applied to the bishops houses.
where h. etofore meetings had been
held in private. Now, since the new
arrangement. clergymen and their
wives might come in and attend the
meetings, except those of the coun-
ellis. he pointed out.
