Would Abolish Commission.

The city council of st. Joseph has
lined up strongly in support of Mayor
Marshall of that city in his fight to
abolish the state public service COM
mission. At recent meeting the city
council adopted resolution favoring
repeal of the la W creating the S. P. s.
G. and asking the cata lates in Buch-
anan county for the leg lature to de-
clare their stand on this ques tion.
Several weeks ago Mayor Marshall
started movement, the aim of which
is to have the commission abolished
by the forthcoming general assembly.
He wrote to 800 mayors and urged
action of the executives and the city
councils.
The resolution adopted by unani-
nous vote of the city council of st
Joseph follows:
Whereas, the state public service
commission has been in existence
long enough to give it thorough
| trial and
Whereas, the net result has been a
gradual increase in the cost of the
patrons of public utilities and grad
ual decrease in the service rendered
by them, and
Whereas, there is no indication of
any other policy on the part OF the
public service commission other than
to increase the cost and decrease the
service. Therefore be it
Resolved by the common council of
the City of st. Joseph, collectively
and Individually, that they lend their
voice to demand for the repeal of
the law creating the public service
commission and again permit the
proper representatives of the differ
ent communities to regulate their
own public utilities, and be it further
Resolved, that as the mayor of ST..
Joseph has taken the lead in calling
Al0StiAS VI UDO anu
towns that he be advised that this
council is in sympathy with hisscom-
mendable effort. Be it further y
Resolved, that our local candidates
for election to the legislature, ire
spective of politics, be respectfully
requested to state in the public press
their views of this matter and make a
straightforward statement as to what
stand they will take when the bill for
the repeal is presented to the legisla
ture.
st. Joseph was the first city in Mis-
souri, to have a public service COM
mission, which functioned for year
or two, and then the state law was
passed, which automatically abolished
the local commission. Mayor Mar
shall and the council wish to go back
to "home rule" in the han ding of
public utilities.

Decline of The Sawdust Trail.
(St, Louis Post-Dispatch,) J


Planning new evangelical drive,
the Detroit Council of Churches has
decided that the Rev. W. A. Sunday
will not lead it. Its verdict, after in
vestigation, is that Spectacular
tabernacle methods bring little bene-
fit. 1t has ascertained that of the
100000 who hit the sawdust trail dur
ing Mr.. Sundays meetings conducted
there at great cost four years ag o,
$4,000 did not go far. Only about
5000 can be found who persisted. The
chief beneficiary is declared to be Mr..
Sunday himself, to whom huge dona-
tions were given.
But, Mr.. Sunday, informed of the
decision at Roanoke, Va, continues
unmoved and wires that he is still
batting 1000 per cent in the gospel
league for God and home and native
land. He says that he has never as
sociated with theological crooks or
attempted to throw the game by
preaching twentieth century junk and
has kept out of the error column for
"a years. "I have not tried to cut corn
ers," he declares. "I have touched
all the bases and am headed for home,
and when I make the last side the
Umpire of the Universe will say,
Bill, you're safe'."
All of which is very much in point,
of course Nevertheless the route
via the sawdust has fallen in esteem
The Rev. Billy has disappeared from
the front page and it is a long time
since he has played one of his charac-
teristic engagements in big city
1t may be due in part to the war, bui
those who test his success by results
not platform effects, have another
theory.

State Funds.

Although there is more than SILL
100000 in the Missouri treasury, the
funds of several state departments
and institutions are depleted, o. E.
Stephens, chief clerk in the State
Auditors office, said. The deficits
will be in the deficiency appropria-
.tions OF the next General Assembly,
Mr.. Stephens said.
The Federal Soldiers Home, at St.
James, Mo-, borrowed $40, 900 for ex-
penditures until the next appropria
tions are mede. Other funds which
Stephens said were depleted include
the printing and paper funds for state
departments, stationery fund for state
departments, fund for assessment and
collection Of revenues, cost ofcrimina

Exchange Your Liberty Bonds.

Many holders of Liberty Bonds, not
registered, are falling to have their
bonds of the First, Second and Third
issues exchanged for the permanent
bonds which the Treasury Depart
ment is prepared to deliver.
The last coupon on the First Liberty
Bonds, 4 per cent, we're due Dec. 15,
1919, and the 4 IA First bond coup ons
were due June 15, 1920. The Second
coupons, Nov. 10, 1919, and May 15,
1920, and the Third Liberty Bonds
last coupons were due March Is, 1920.
While many holders have submitted
their temporary bonds for exchange,
there are hundreds of holders in the
Eighth Federal Reserve District who
do not appear to know that the bonds
issued them at the close of the cam
paigns were merely temporary bonds,
and when the last coupons attached
became due that they were to be
exchanged Tor new bonds.
The last coupon on the Fourth
Liberty Bonds were due Oct. 15, 1920,
and these may be exchanged for
permanent bonds, with the full set OF
coupons attached assoon as the bonds
reach the Federal Reserve bank.
This may not be until the latter part
of the year, or possibly the first of
next year. q
Every holder should make the ex-
change through his bank. The local
bank will forward the temporary
bonds to the Federal Reserve Bank at
st. Louis, and the permanent bonds
sent back.
OF course those who bought regis
tered bonds need make no exchange,
as their bonds do not change in form.

Developing Agricultural Possibilities In
The Ozarks.

That grain sorghums and Sudan
grass can be cultivated successfully in
the Ozark region has been determin-
ed by the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture. In the ex-
tremely dry season of last year grain
sorghum averaged yield of 22,3
bushels to the acre, while the best
variety of corn grown in comparison
yielded only S.6 bushels. Sudan grass
yielded sixteen bushels of seed and
three tons of hay to the acre. These
experiments indicate the great value
of these drouthresisting crops for
sections in which successful corn
growing is difficult.
Orchard grass can be successfully
grown on the thinner Ozark soils and
bluegrass on the better land. These
facts determined by the College have
a direct application to solution of
grazing problems of the Ozark region.

OUR PILGRIMAGE
TOTHE MOUNTAINS

In company with Judge John b.
Wilson the writer was so fortunate
as to attend a convention of the
Grand Lodge, knights of Pythias of
Kentucky, held in Pineville, during
Tuesday and Wednesday of last week.
Pineville is a thriving little city of
some $500 as congenial and hospita-
BILE people as can be found this side
of anywhere. The city nestles be-
tween three or four mountains of
some 1900 to 1890 feet in height,
with the only routes of egress or in
gress following the gorges traversed
by the Cumberland River Straight
Greek or perhaps a small and not
much used outlet to the Southwest.
The L. & N. r. r. and the Boone
Highway both enter through the gap
made by the Cumberland River and
by the two routes or methods, the
only real way into and out OF the
little mountain town is afforded But
no one would care to go by any other
route, for thereon lies the principle
and chief works of nature. not in her
largest, but most assuredly, in ex-
ceedingly attractive form.
The Pineville knights chartered a
train and took the delegates and
visitors to Middlesborough, Is miles
distant. the whole of which is thru
the most picturesque portion of the
Cumberlands found within that sec
tion of the three states cornering at
Cumberland Pass, thru which Daniel
Boone entered the dark and bloody
