CULTURE FOR FARM BOYS

The Southeast 1 Missouri State
Teachers College is offering for the
benefit of, boys who will work on the

who has substantially completed ru-
raj school course. No entrance exam
ination will be required. Every stu
dent entering for these short courses,
which begin January 5 and close Fri
day, Feb. 27, will be expected to en-
roll in each of the four courses Of
fered.
One course will be offered in AMI
NAL Husbandry and will consist of a
study of the, types and breeds OF
horses, beef cattle, dairy cattle, hogs,
sheep and poultry. Judging OF farm
animals will constitute large part OF
the course.
A second course will be course in
soils and will deal with the various
kinds of soils found in Southeast Mis-

proper preparation of the seed bed
and other topics relating to the care
and cultivation of soils.
A third course will be given in farm
crops. Special instruction will be
given in the selection and care OF seed
and the planting and cultivation OF
crops.
The fourth course will be a course
in farm mechanics and will include a

study will be made of the care and use
of all ordinary farm machinery, IN
cluding installing and caring for mo-
tor or gasoline machines such as trac--
tors and engine used for pumping and
other purposes on the farm.
1t is hoped that these four courses,
intended to give preparation for i'm
mediate use in farming during the
next season, will be of benefit to a
half dozen boys, perhaps, in each
county in the college district. All boys
who are interested in such prepara-
tion for the next farming season are
cordially invited to enter the college
for this short term. A fee of six dol
lars for the term will be the only
charge to the boys entering for these
courses. All text books will be fur
nished for rental of one dollar for
the term. The only other expense
will be the cost of board for the two
months.

Golf Mercantile
Co. Store Robbed

The Goff Mercantile Co. store, in
the Flat River district, was burglar
ized Monday night, the thieves getting
away with about $50 pairs of shoes,
valued at about $700. The shoes were
taken out of their individual boxes,
perhaps for convenience in carrying,
and the boxes scattered over the floor.
A few dollars were also taken from
the cash register. No other goods
have been missed from the, store, the
!, thieves evidently loading themselves
to the guards on shoes. No clue as
to the identity of the guilty parties
has been reported.

Real Christmas
for Hospital Wards

The 760 patients at State Hospital
No. A are to have real Christmas,
through the efforts of the officers and
employees who have constituted them
selves "A Cheer Club" to provide a
Christmas tree and Christmas boxes,
and thereby bring a degree Of sun
shine and happiness into the lives of
those who are patients at that insti-
tuition.
Besides large Christmas tree in
| the Amusement Hall, where every pa
tient will be remembered, generous
treat of turkey and chicken dinner,
with vegetables, cranberry sauce, eel
cry and six barrels of apples, will con-
stitute the menu.
The principal thought Of the ex-
cellent management of Hospital No.
appears always to be the pleasure
and profit of the numerous wards
there, and the excellent record that is
being made is the best possible
proof that such efforts are bearing
fruit abundantly. It must be source
Of constant and abundant pleasure to
all who have relatives and dear ones
there for treatment to know that they
are being SO faithfully cared for and
watched over as are the patients at
State Hospital No. A..

Improved Laundry
for Farmington

B. T. Gentges, the popular proprie-
tor of the Pennington Steam Laun-
dry, has just closed the purchase of
shree lots, formerly owned by the
Reuter- Milling Co., opposite the cleo
tric depot. Mr.. Gentges has decided
to erect a building for his laundry
next spring on the newly acquired
property, which will be designed par
ticularly for laundry purposes, and
thoroughly modern.
The business of the Pennington
Steam Laundry is increasing to such
an extent as to make additional room
and more up-to-date equipment i'm
perative, and Mr.. Gentges believes in
keeping pace with his business. When
the new building is completed, and
added equipment is installed, Farm
ington will have a laundry second to
none, which will doubtless be good
news to all, as proper laundering has
been keeping well up with other ne
cessities in price-and difficulty to Sc
cure at any price.

ASBESTOS EXTRA

The first of the week when the sup
posed end of the world was being
much discussed, st. Francois county
newspaper was having considerable
fun out of it's friends by reporting
that it intended to get out an extra
when said end came, and for the con-
venience of several of its subscribers
was going to print few copies on
asbestos. The friends retaliated by
suggesting to the newspaper that
they save copy of the asbestos extra
for their files. =,
Since the date on which the world
was supposed to "come to an end" has
passed, the thoughtful newspaper
management is considering disposing
of his stock of asbestos.
