STUDY YOUR TRACTOR
TO AVOID TROUBLES

The best way to avoid tractor trou-
bles, costly delays and repair bills is
to know your tractor, says M. M,
Jones of the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture. One of the
best ways to know your machine and
how it operates is to make free use Of
the instruction book that comes with
it. Most tractor concerns have very
complete instruction books explaining
the various parts of the machine, how
each part operates, and how to care
for it. These little books are furnish
ed for the farmers benefit and should
be used. Always keep the book where
it can be referred to- Do not leave it
in the tool box where it will get dirty
and greasy, torn or possibly lost.
Tractor troubles are due to many
widely different and varying causes,
and it would be utterly impossible to
prescribe panacea successful for all
troubles. But the best insurance
against trouble is a good understand
ing of the workings of the machine.
The man who has least trouble with
his tractor and who keeps it going
longer than his neighbor, is the man

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

The Missouri State Teachers As
ISOLATION which was in session at st.
Louis last week had, what in many re-
spects, is to be considered the most in
teresting and instructive meeting of
the entire career of the organization.
Problems of vital import to the school
interests of Missouri were ably dis
cussed from every angle by educators
of State end Nation wide prominence.
Happily the metropolitan press gave
more notice to the meeting than has
been the case heretofore. The power
of the press is limitless and through
its efforts the people Of Missouri will
be better educated to the educational
shortcomings of their own state. It
is only through education or knowl-
edge of exact conditions as they ex-
list that intelligent efforts can be made
toward eradicating weaknesses and
the building of stronger foundations
to the end that the superstructure
may rest firmly and securely. The
fact most prominently and forcibly
brought out which explains the rela-
lively low standard of Missouri

DEMAMND FOR RABBIT SKINS

In recent years several kinds of fur,
formerly of so little value as to offer
no inducement to the trapper, have
been raised in price, and consequently
collecting them has been made profit
able. Rabbit pelts, which are extern
sively used by hat makers, are among
these products. One eastern concern
has announced that it will need 10,-
100000 rabbit skins during 1919 and
1920, and it desires as far as possible
to secure them from American sourc-
es. This is an Indication Of a mar
ket which should interest many a
farmer boy. This fall and winter
dried, cased rabbit skins will probab-
ly bring a good return. They are sold
by the pound which will contain seven
or eight skins. Many farm boys can
readily acquire, in the course of the
winter, large numbers of skins which
will net them tidy sum and, in adj
dition, they will have the pleasure of
trapping experience. The United
States Department of Agriculture
will supply any inquirer with the
names and addresses of possible pur-
chasers of rabbit skins and other
pelts.

WHAT is PEACE

| Certainly peace is not the result of
the Peace Conference. The Treaty Of
Paris by itself can no more bring
about real peace than it can prevent
peace. The Treaty of Paris has it's
justification not as an infallible and
inevitable cause of peace, but rather
as possible path of progress toward
peace. without the treaty there
would be anarchy. With the treaty,
but without the League Of Nations,
there would be revolution"
With the treaty the world can take
the next step toward better world,
for the world must go either back
ward or forward. After the last five
years men will not forget the thing
for which they fought. Mankind will
be content with nothing less than full
and complete democracy. If through
the selfish control of the new League
of Nations the rights of men every
where are ignored their sense of in.
justice may spread revolution, fol-
lowed tragically and inevitably by re-
action, but if the new League is con-
trolled by Governments, in their turn
properly controlled by the will of an
intelligent majority, permanent gains
based on intelligent understanding
can be made more quickly and more
universally by the use of the machin-
cry of the League than would be pos
sible without it. The League of Ma
tions is nothing but powerful machin-
cry. 1t may manufacture bad things,
but if the people will, it may manu-
facture fine and splendid things for
all mankind. Its obvious faults should
not blind the American people to its
equally obvious possibilities of use
fulness. 1t is up to each of US to in
sist on our part of it's contrc! and TO
see to it as individuals that the
League is used generously for the
common good.

schools is that Missouri people have
neglected to spend the amount OF
money that should be spent on their
schools. At this time during the
domineering reign of the High Cost of
Living, Missouri people are spending
but very little more money on their
schools than they did before the cost
of living advanced two or three hun
dred per cent. There is no more eX-
act truism than that you cannot get
something for nothing. The better
Missouri teachers are not striking,
they are simply getting out of the
profession because they have to live.
1t is common knowledge among ed
ucators and people who have given
the subject attention that many teach
ers are working in this State who
would make poor sixth grade students.
Such condition is positively ridicu-
lous and entirely unworthy of discus
sion. 1t should arouse in US, however,
an intense and burning desire to
speedily remedy the condition. Whe-
Their idealists will admit the fact or
not it is nevertheless true that dol
lars dominate. AS long as teachers
of ability are being compelled to leave
the profession in order that they
might get a living wage and to lay by
small competence for advancing
years school boards are of necessity
compelled to employ immature, mex
perienced and poorly trained incom-
petent teachers.
Of course. it will be understood that
this somewhat bitter statement of
conditions is not written and is not to
be taken in any sense as disparage-
men of the many noble men and wo-
men who are so unselfishly devoting
their lives to the work of teaching.
But these devoted followers of the
neglected art cannot live always and
as they go West their places, too, are
being filled by incompetents as is the
case with those less devoted followers
of the "F'aith" who are constantly en-
tcring other professions. As has been
stated before in this column, the av-
erage salary of Missouri rural teach
ers is the muniticent sum of 81 cents
per day. 1t is too harsh statement to
say that it takes the fanaticism of
Hindu fakir to stand for such mis-
cradle condition? America cannot al
ways stand a leader among the ma
tions when she is entrusting her fu-
ture destiny to little boys and girls
of from 16 to Is years of age, many
of whom do not even have common
school education. Nor can America
boast very much of the fact that she
spent twice as much last year for in
toxicating liquors and so per cent
more for tobacco, and more for auto
mobile repairs than she did spend for
education. WHAT WILL THE PEO-
PIE OF MISSOURI DO? -. ......

OBJECTIONS TO THE
LEAGUE OF NATIONS

A few objections to the league OF
Nations are thus summed up:
Japanese jingoes object to the
treaty because the League of Ma
tions will be controlled by Anglo
Saxon nations, and advocates an orr
entail league. Senator Reed objects to
the League because it will be domi-
mated by the colored races. Senator
Fall objects to it because the Catho-
lies will be in control. Senator Sher-
man objects to it because President
Wilson has been instrumental in bring
ing it about. Senators Lodge, Knox,
Borah, Poindexter and johnson OBJ
ject to it because such opposition
brings them into the spotlight, and
may lead to a presidential nominal
ton. AS opposed to these formida-
bic forces there appears to be no.
thing, is, nothing but the will
of the people of the country, who
want the League because it is the
greatest world organization ever at
tempted and has within it the germ
of the federation Of the world.

Would you know a good laying hen
if you should meet one? Hundreds of
Missouri farmers would. They have
found out that the best producing
hens have certain characteristics diff
ticult to hide. If they doubt general
appearances it is a simple matter to
catch the bird and by few moments
either confirm or expel the doubt.
There's no getting away from the
fact-a good hen can't hide her good
qualities from Missouri's well-in-
formed poultry raisers. Some not so
well informed had to go through the
"show-me" stage, and the Extension
service of the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture, acting through
specialists and county agents, pro-
ceeded to do the showing. These
agents held POI culling demonstra-
tons in September alone. Out of the
7,109 birds handled, 1925 were culls.
The doubters were instructed to re-
tain the culls and report the number
of eggs received. In no case have the
culls been found profitable.
