DOES EDUCATION
HELP THE FARMER?

A survey of 656 farms in johnson
county was conducted in 1912 by the
University of Missouri College of Ag-
riculture. Of these farmers, 554 had
only district school education, while
1902 had received more than that. 1t
was found that the better educated
farmers operated 33 per cent more
land and owned four-fifths of the land
they operated, as against three fifths
owned by those with only district
school education; they kept one-sixth
more stock, worked IA per cent more
land per workman, and earned II per
cent more clear labor income per
year. o. r. johnson, in concluding
his report of this survey, says:
While other factors may have
played some part in his greater earn
ing capacity, yet from careful study
of the organization of his business it
appears that education must have
played very large part in his great
er earning ability.

1870 pounds upward, or more particu-
larry so 210 pounds and heavier. While
of course, receipts have been consid-
erably heavier, including also a larg-
or proportion of these than usual,
and the mar ket around SOC per 100
lower than the high time about ten
days ago, yet the trade is in fairly
satisfying condition on these kinds,
buyers showing an inclination to buy
them readily, with top of Sits be-
ing obtained today. However, light
weight hogs have been plentiful, and
sales hard to negotiate, varying at
times to considerable extert, but the
worst feature of the trade has been
the southern classes of hogs, or what
in many instances are termed south
westerners In this class, weight has
cut no figure, because buyers have
been able to get the good northern
hogs in plentiful numbers, sufficiently
SO that the necessity Of buying any
thing from territory where the likli-
hood of securing soft or oily hogs was
not necessary. AS result, strong
weight southern hogs, medium
weights, and even pigs, have been
begging for bids, and sales at times
took two or more days, sometimes a
week to effect. The consequence is,
that the kind just mentioned are vir-
tually demoralized, but in connection,
it might be mentioned that OCCASION
ally, in various parts of this depart
ment, sale of southern hogs will be
made at good price, yet similar
swine will lay around the yards for
days at time without bids, and then
when sold will range probably 81 or
more per 100 under cash sales as Just
mentioned, and deals of that character
are hard, in fact, almost impossible
to explain to the southern hog man.
In view of the uncertainty of the
market on southern hogs, it looks ad-
visable for southern owners to keep
their stuff at home as far as permis-
sable, until conditions are remedied
We feel sure that it is only a question
of time until the supply will decrease
materially, and then there is not 60
ing to be the differential existing as
there is at present
SHEEP.-Supplies in this depart
ment continue insignificant, hardly
enough from day to day to give an ac-
curate and authentic comparison of
the market. Prices generally about
steady with a week ago, best fat
bringing SIG to $16.50; fat sheep, So
to $40.

GET BUSINESS GOING,
SECY. OF LABOR URGES

Predicting that the country will get
back into it's normal swing within six
months after the signing Of the armis-
tice, William B. Wilson, Secretary of
Labor, declared here today that the ma
tion faces eight or ten years of "the
greatest industrial activity ever
known"
Wilson spoke at luncheon given in
his honor and that of United States
Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Ill
inois, by the Lawyers Club, on the eve
iof the departure for France of the
Department of Labor's economic mis-
sion.
While predicting prosperity Wilson
warned that labor has a reserve of
money to resist any attempt to force
down wages unduly. He asserted that
"if we have any large part of indus
trial unrest there is no telling where
the social upheaval will lead u.s."
He declared it would be hard to say
whether it would lead "to a revolution
such as that of the French, or of the
Bolsheviki in Russia"
Democracy is slow to remedy in
ternal evils" he said, "slow to move
forward along new lines. Yet unless
the principle of accepting the will of
the majority is taken the same con-
dition that brought about our war with
Germany will exist. That condition
is autocracy. So my appeal to all peo-
pie is sect your business going and
keep it going"
Referring to the need of tiding over
a brief period of readjustment, Will
son said:
eve now have to turn our attention
to the task of rehabilitation and re-
establishing ourselves on a stable,
postwar basis. This will be easy if
every man engaged in business in the
United States will bring himself to
believe that the best policy to follow
is to re-establish his business on the
same basis as before the war.
"In nearly all lines of industry there
is a depletion Of available stocks.
Shelves are empty and will have to be
filled to normal business weight.
"The supply of labor is not as great
as men are prone to think. Because of
the cessation of immigration during
the war and the fact that it will be
necessary to keep an army of 1,000,-
900 men in Europe for more than a
year to come we are about 100000 !
persons short in our normal labor sup
ply." |

STOCK MUST BE KNOWN

Doesn't it make you tired to go into
a store and ask for something, and the
clerk has to start hunt all over the
place for it?
You can't help but feel that there's
something wrong with that stores
methods. You feel that your time is
being wasted, needlessly.
How about your store? If your
statesmen do not know where things
are, but keep customers waiting while
they rummage around and ask ques-
tons, you are bound to lose trade.
It should be the business Of every
store salesman to know exactly where
everything is at all times. Of course,
there are occasions-as when a new
salesman comes in-when delay in
serving q customer is practically I'M
avoidable. But under normal condi-
lions it is inexcusable.

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

G. W. Signer, superintendent of
Schools, rendered his resignation to
the Board of Education Monday, to be
effective Friday. This will come as a
great surprise to most of the patrons
of the school. 1t will be remembered
that Prof. Signer had an attack of
pneumonia and this has left him in
weakened condition, and he felt
that he couldn't give his school work
the attention it should have, hence his
resignation.
Mr.. Signer is good school man,
putting heart and soul into his work,
and it is through his efforts that the
school ranks where it does today.
The Board is trying to secure Prof.
Loomis of Potosi to complete the
term.
Prof Signer expects to take much
needed rest for several months, after
which he will probably engage in bus
mess Observation-Disclosures Gazette.
The following pupils of the Flat
River High School have taken the
mid-year Teacher-Training examina-
ton:
Margaret Detchmendy, Ruby Mar
garet Wood, Ruth McClanahan, Mil
bred Inez Buhrmeister, Juniors, and
Helen McGahan, Lucille Selena Vance,
Clara Rosetta Dyle, Mary Reva Ha-
ney, Irene Emily Buhrmester, Edith
Legg and Lessie Elizabeth Thomure,
Seniors.
These classes have been seriously
handicapped in making proper prepa-
ration for this examination, due to
the closing of the schools for so long
a period during the recent serious ep-
idemic of influenza.
