FREISTATT ROAD BONDS
REJECTED

Word was received here Saturday
that the $4,000 issue OF road bonds
issued by Freistatt Special Road Dis
trict had been turned down by the
State Department for the reason that
the law passed by the last legislature
has been held unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court. That law granted
the right to road districts to vote
ten per cent of its assessed value for
the purpose Of road improvement.
Under the constitution, they may
vote only five per cent. This will
cause Freistatt Special Road District
much delay in improving their roads
for it will necessitate another election
and bonds can not possibly be issued
and sold under the quickest possible
action by the district until some time
in Nov. or Dec. Also the district viii
lose several thousand dollars in the
amount of bonds it is permitted to
issue, as the assessed valuation will
not permit them to vote or issue
bonds to the extent of $4,000

MISSOURI PRODUCED 525
CARS OF STRAWBERRIES
us. Department of Agriculture Re-
port Shows MOnett Market Big
Factor Past Season.

Springfield, Sept. 1.-The Monett
district promises to be one of the best
strawberry producing sections in the
country if the growers and shippers
continue to improve on their pack in
the future as they have done in the
past, says bulletin sent out by the
United States department of agricul-
ture bureau of crop estimates as a
summary of the 1921 strawberry seas
on at Monett, Mo.
The past season was poor one, as
far as the growers were concerned,
due to the freeze and extreme hot and
dry weather during the producing
season, according to the report. At
least 1000 cars or more were lost by
the early freeze.
The methods now being used in Mis-
souri, for packing, grading and hand
ling this highly perishable fruit are
commended in the report for the
quality, pack and care taken.
The first radio station ever used for
relaying market reports to field
station was put into operation at, Mo-
nett as a test. 1t proved successful
and great interest was shown in the
experiment.
Due to decreased appropriation un-
der which the federal bureau of mark
cts was working, it would not have
been able to establish a field station
at Monet this year, had it not been
for the assistance of the Missouri
State Board of Agriculture. This
board paid half of the expenses Of
operating the station and is given
high praise for its work.
The Missouri strawberry season
normally covers the period from May
20 to June IS. This year the prospect
of a much earlier season than usual
was curtailed by the freeze in April
which damaged the plants consider
ably as they were in full bloom with
numerous small berries.
According to the reports furnished
the bureau of markets by the rail-
roads and express companya 425 cars
were shipped out of Monett from May
II to June 2. After the closing of the
station at Monet, 100 cars were ship
ped from the entire district, making
a total of 525 cars shipped from Mis-
souri, this season. The number of cars
shipped during the same time for 1920
were 31S, but the year 1919, leads all
others with 1,0S1 cars shipped.

THE ART OF FORGETTING

We hold on to a great many things
which we should let go-shake off
entirely. In the first place we should
expel from our minds completely the
things which cannot be helped-our
past misfortunes, the trivial occur
rences which have fortified or humili-
ated us. Thinking of them not only
does no good, but it robs us of peace,
and comfort. The art of forgetting
useless things is great one, and we,
should learn it at any cost. 1t is just
as important to let go as to hold on.
Anything that cannot help us to get
on and hold up, in the Yorld; anything
that is drag, stumbling-block or
hindrance should be expunged from
our memory.-Mosby's Missouri Mes
sage.
