OCTOBER IN MISSOURI

The man who wrote "The Melen-
choly Days Have Come" was not
thinking of Missouri. 1t is our most
glorious month. The harvest is fin
ished. Our granaries are bursting
with golden grain. The farm wagons
are creaking and groaning and the
trucks are snorting and putting under
the weight of the biggest crop that
Missouri ever sent to market. Fat
cattle are grazing on ten thousand
hills, the winter apples are blushing
in the October breeze, mingling their
ruby glow with the russell, green and
gold that CLEANS from every shrub
and tree, while from every meadow
and hill and hedge the Bob White is
calling to his mate that "the frost is
on the pumpkin and the folders in the
shock" Great is Missouri and Won
derful is the golden glory Of her grand
October days. - Mosby's Missouri

Savings Certificates in the $500 and
$1,000 denominations, are not only re-
plenishing their stocks of these Sc
curities but are also ordering from
the Federal Reserve Bank at st. Louis
supply of the War Savings Stamps
and Thrift Stamps.
The bankers realize that every pur-
chaser of Savings Certificate through
his institution becomes a prospective
patron of the bank. The wise banker
has also figured that if he encourages
the youngsters to learn saving that
these young people will in few years
be the business men and women of
the next decade, and that the bank
they start in with is likely to be the
bank they will deal with when they
become men of affairs.
That is the reason they are buying
these savings Stamps and disposing
of them to purchasers without pro-
fit. 1t is not altogether an altruis-
tic spirit that moves them, for they
know they are strengthening the
banks influence and building for the
future,

KILL OFF UTAH's WILD HORSES

Americans who like adventure and
excitement in hunt are advised to
try their hand at hunting wild horses.
That they will find this sport quite as
thrilling as cornering a tiger, is the
opinion of a sportsman who has just
returned from months hunt in Skull
Valley, near the Utah-Nevada line.
There are thousands of wild horses
in this valley and ranch owners in that
district have begun war of exter-
mination. The wild steeds are becom-
ing very troublesome, leading away
domesticated stock and demolishing
fences and damaging property in gen
eral. Before the plan of shooting
these horses was adopted, the ranch
ers tried corralling and shipping them
to Eastern markets. The expense of
catching and shipping the animals was
far above possible profits, however,
and danger connected with attempts

RESOLUTIONS

The following resolutions were re-
Gently adopted by the st. Louis Cham
Der of Commerce, recommending full
publicity in the letting of all highway
contracts:
Whereas, many counties in Missou-
ri contemplate voting or have voted
county bonds for the construction of
highways, and
Whereas, it is earnestly desired that
the money arising from said bond is
sues may be honestly and econom-
ically expended so that the maximum
mileage or durable hard surfaced
roads may be secured at the minimum
cost to the taxpayers; therefore, be it
Resolved, that it is the sense OF the
Good Roads Committee of the st.
Louis Chamber of Commerce, and we
hereby respectively recommend that
the county courts, local newspapers
and commercial organizations in the
counties indicated, be requested to
urge and insist upon frank and thor
ough publicity, so that all bids for the
sale of road bonds and all awards of
contracts and specifications for road
material and road construction shall
be PUBLICLY MADE after legal ad-
vertising of same through the local
press and other available means to
the end that the interests of the peo-
pie may be safeguarded and protect
ed.
Resolved further, that it is vital to
successful highway development in
Missouri, involving as it does the ex-
penditure of millions Of dollars of the
public funds, that all road contracts
should be divorced from party poll
ties and executed by non-partisan
boards and engineers of recognized
skill and integrity.

SELF-FEEDER BEST
FOR HOGS REMOVED
FROM CORN FIELD

Some feeders believe that hogs
which are not entirely finished in the
corn field do not make efficient gains
if removed from the field and fed
grain in a dry lot. There is no reason
why this should be true, provided the
dry-lot ration is equal in amount and
quality to that which the hogs have
been obtaining in the corn field, says
l.. A. Weaver of the University Of
Missouri College of Agriculture. If
the unfinished animals are full fed on
corn, properly supplemented, they
should make profitable gains in dry lot
if they have been previously doing so
in the corn field. The trouble is US
ually caused by the fact that the
amount of the ration is decreased
when the hogs are removed. A self
feeder can be used to excellent adj
vantage in such cases.

KENTUCKY BUILDS FOR FUTURE

Educational authorities in Kentucky
have officially gone on record as IA
voring the thrift campaign promul-
gated by the Treasury Department OF
the United States, and the new course
of study for the Blue Grass State,
that is Just from the press, and which
has been adopted for the next five
years, has a full course of study on
thrift, and the teachers are instructed
kthat this must be used as regular
instruction for their pupils.
State Superintendent of lnstruc-
ton V. o. Gilbert has issued special
letter to the twelve thousand Ken
lucky teachers under his charge, and
has impressed on them the Importance
, of giving special attention to this
branch of education, which he says is
of prominent Importance.
He points out the fact that in days
gone by, before the world war opened
the eyes of the people of all nations to
J the absolute necessity of thrift and
saving that waste was the rule, and
that America was justly classed as
the most wasteful of all the nations.
He urges that by beginning with the
pupils Of the lower grades, and con-
tinuing the study through five consec-
utive years, probably more good will
result to all the people than from the
same amount of study given to any
branch of education.
Those who are now in the grades in
the public schools in a decade will be
the young men and women of affairs
in the business and social world, and
the ideas of thrift and saving incul-
Gated now will bear fruit for many
years to come.
And again, in a more practical way
the quarters that are now being in
vested in Thrift Stamps will have
grown into War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates, and
these will have matured, and with the
APT per cent interest these "baby
bonds" will have been cashed and in,
vested in some other line of endeavor
and will help to start the one in bus.
mess who began saving in modest
way.
Kentucky is preparing to wage re.
lentless war on the Waste evil, anC
the school is to be used as one of the
most effective weapons.

PREBLE GROWERS
TO POOL CROP IN

EATON, o., June 23.-Members of
the Preble County Tobacco Growers
association will pool their tobacco
now on hand and make an effort to
sell to some big buyer that can handle
the entire poolings. This decision was
reached in a meeting of the associa-
ton members here Saturday night in

BY selling direct to some buyer that
can handle the associations holdings
a considerable saving in expense Of
marketing can be effected, both to the
seller and buyer, it is declared. 1t will
mean that better price can be de-
nanded and in turn the buyer can
afford to pay a better price. Growers
say dealers declare it costs them on
an average of So case to cover the
cost of buying.
1860 Cases in Pool.
In the meeting Saturday night a
total of 1900 cases was pledged to the
