Never before in the history of the
industry has it been possible to arouse
so much interest in the motor truck as
is being manifested by the public at
president of the Republic Motor Truck
Company, Inc while watching the
great crowds at Madison Square Gar
den last night
Heretofore the passenger car. in
all its fashionable trappings and luxu-
rious comfort, has held the centre of
the stage at the annual automobile
shows. Events of the last eighteen
months have, however, brought about
a striking change in affairs. The mo-
tor truck is no longer an also ran
traction at the big motor exhibitions
being staged throughout the country"

BOOST THE PAINT
ING CAMPAIGN

The paint and varnish industry of
America is setting out on "Save the
Surface" campaign. 1t is of course
to the interest of the various compan-
les represented to put this campaign
over in good style, but it is of great
interest to the man who has build
ings on his farm to help them put it
over.
The loss from unprotected surfaces,
whether they be surfaces of iron,
wood or other material is very great
and can only be estimated, but it is
certain that the loss is far out of pro-
portion to what it would be if proper
protection were given the surfaces.
Nothing improves the appearance
of any farm building more than good
coat of paint, and nothing will add
any more to the life of building.
The slogan, "Save the Surface and
you will Save ALL" has been adopted
by the campaign leaders and it is a
hint to all thrifty farmers to add
years to the usefulness of their build
ings and make them pay interest on
the investment over the maximum
period of time, says F. A. Nickel of
the Extension Service of the Univer-
sity Of Missouri College of Rgricul-
ture. Paint pays.

ROYAL LIVESTOCK SHOW

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 1.-The
cow is the foster mother of the human
race. Butter on bread, cheese to go
with crackers; hides for shoes and
harness; steaks and roastS to go with
the bread and butter that come off the
farms, these are the tributes that the
COW pays to the human race. Of
course there are cows and cows, just
like there are pigs and pigs, but the
great southwest and west turns, after
it has gotten its butter and milk and
cheese, to the beef COW, the one that
feeds the west and southwest and of
whom there are great many who
move on to the great markets of the
country, to supply the people who are
not so fortunate as to live on the farm,
with beef, beef in the steaks and
roastS.
Just now the world is wondering
whether there are enough beef cattle
on the land to make it possible for ev-
erybody to have their steaks and
roasts, and the matter of shoes and
harness is bobbing up. More cattle
and better seems to be the call of the
world. Just like the world makes it's
plea for its daily bread, with one eye
on the Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma
and Texas wheat fields, while making
the plea, just so does the world LOOK
to the west and southwest for the
slices of beef, rich red beef, fattened
on grass and corn, to go with this
daily bread. The west and southwest
is the natural home and haunt Of the
cow and her calf, and to keep up the
beef supply of the world it is neces-
sary that the cow and her calf should
be encouraged to increase and multi
ply and populate the west and south
west.
The American Royal Livestock
Show, which viii be held at Kansas
City, and in Convention hall, historic
old Convention hall, will be the great
est exhibition of beef cattle ever held.
Several hundred thousand pounds of
beef on the foot will be displayed. The
beef cattle shown are the forebears Of
more and better beef cattle to come
and it will pay to see them. Incl
dentally, there will be plenty of
things to keep people amused between
acts, the minutes that intervene while
one class is being led out of the big
arena and the time another class
comes in. The ponderous tread of the
beef animals will be heard for six full
days at Convention hail. 1t will be
the grand march of the beef makers.

GATHER BACTERIA NOW TO mo-
CULATE LEGUMES NEXT SPRING

That 5oiI containing legume bac-
terra dried and stored for at least a
year will produce nodules on the next
crop as we'll as fresh soil taken from
the field, has been proved by recent
tests at the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture. The man
planning to seed soybenas or sweet
clover for the first time next spring
should get his inoculating soil from
some neighbours field this fall. To be
sure of having good soil for inocula-
ting the new fields it is advisable to
collect and store the soil now. At
this time of the year the roots and no.
dulles on the crop have not rotted
away, and one can know that the soil
is well infected and see to it that a
goodly number of nodules are gather
ed with it. Soil so collected may be
put into bags, allowed to dry in some
convenient storage and used to in
oculate the seed next spring. There
is no doubt about this method which
| is simple, costs no more than a lit
tie labor, and is certain Of results.
Only small amounts of such soil are
needed, because the soil is applied to
the seed rather than directly to the
field. A pound of soil for each pound
of seed is more than enough. Soil
of this kind costs less than CONNER
cial inoculating material and is Of
ten much more reliable. One can be
certain of helping the newly started
crop with becteria that he knows have
been doing the work in the vicinity.
It is we'll known that legumes should
be inoculated or treated with bacter-
ia whenever seeded on a field for the
first time. The so-called "soil meth
cd" of inoculating is the simplest way
of doing it. Any soil can be used pro-
vided it contains the desired bacter-
ia. To treat soybenas, for example,
in this manner soil must be taken
which has recently produced soybeans
with many nodules on the roots, and
busted on the moistened seed just be-
fore seeding. For alfalfa or sweet
clover, which have the same bacteria
and inoculate each other, soil must
be gathered where one or the other
has grown recently. Not any soil will
suffice. 1t must be soil known to
contain the right bacaeria for the par
ticular crop in question, as shown by
the nodules it produced on this same
crop only short time previous.

is with the army of occupation in
Germany:
Nottenheim, Germany. Dec. %, 1918
I am hoping will beat this letter
back to Goods Country" which l
think is a possible chance of doing.
This is Christmas (Rheinheart in
Dutch) and we are having a day off,
did not even have reveille this morn
ing, something unusual in the army.
We are also preparing for a big
feed for dinner. We are having
& white Christmas in Germany, al
though it is rather blue for some
people.
l suppose it sounds kind of funny
to talk to the folks at home when
they hear of the "Yanks" living in the
same houses with the German people
and some of them soldiers who have
been home but just short time, but
it is a fact and the Yanks are not a
bit uneasy either for the Dutch know
which side their bread is buttered on.
Our division is one of the prize
divisions in this great war, therefore
we have been picked to represent the
grand old U. S: A. and are called the
cream of the country.
We received our Christmas boxes
the 23rd and all the boys are in good
spirits, smoking fine cigars and cigar
cites and eating candy.

FRUIT
EXCHANGE MEETS

The members of the Independent
Fruit Exchange, new organization
comprising the independent straw
berry associations of this section, held
a meeting at ElkS hall, Tuesday,
Associations represented were two
from SarcoXie, two from NeoSho and
tone each from Peirce City, Butterheld,
Purdy, CassvilIe, Wheaton, Verona
and Monett.
At the morning business session
reports were made of the prospects of
the crop for 1919. The opinion of the
fruit growers present was that the
last summer drouth had damaged the
new beds considerably and that the
crop would be harvested from the beds
set previous to 1918. The shipments
will be about 10 per cent of those of
last year.
In the afternoon an open meeting
was held in which S. A. Chapel,
mayor of Monett, welcomed the berry
men. Response was made by r. H.
Edwards. W. D. Cowherd. of Butter
field, gave a comprehensive address
on the "Ways of Marketing and
Harvesting Strawberries in Different
Sections" Mr.. Cowherd has had a
wide experience along this line and
his talk was very instructive. T. P.
Sizer. Monett, spoke on Character
istics of Different Men" and Mr., Rice,
of Peirce City, spoke on the "Value
of Organization"
The next meeting will be held at
NeoSho, February u. The organiz-
alton is for the purpose of mutual eN-
change of berries loaded and the eS-
tablishing of uniform price for
berries all over the district. The EX-
change will control about rs per cent
of the loadings of the district.

Senting the New York, Chicago, kanS-

and made the trip in blue Hudson

short distance north of Inc city, the
car ran into horse and buggy being
driven home by Mr., and Mrs. j. +,
McFadden who had been in town
trading. Mrs. McFadden was thrown
from the buggy and hurt quite badly
and Mr.. McFadden sustained slight
injuries. A little farther north, near
the Mulkey farm, the automobile
party ran over a fine registered COW
belonging to Elmer Mulkey,
Elmer and Dave Mulkey followed
them to their home town and the
party will probably pay dearly for

After marching the past twelve days
we have stopped to rest. We passed

We were on the front for 5S days,
We were still on the front when the

was right about the war, when shells
began to fall around US.

Germans were real glad that the war
