THE MISSOURI JOBS ENGAGE
ATTENTION OF WHITE HOUSE

Washington, Sept. o. senator
Seldom p. Spencer called ut the White
House executive offices Tuesday by
request of President Harding and dis
cussed with the president federal
patronage for Missouri. The senator
was with the president for about an
hour, but all he would say upon ieaV-
inc was that the conference had been
yery satisfactory, admitting, of course
that patronage was what had been
talked over.
President Harding, when seen a
short time later, stated that list
of about half dozen offices had been
talked over and they had tried to iron
out the situation. The president indi-
Gated that matters were getting
Strengthened out and that the senator's
wishes were receiving due consider
alton. Neither the president nor
Spencer would mention any OF the
names under discussion for the Mis-
souri, jobs.
Some of the names which have been
suggested by Spencer, however, in
clude:
Arch Hollenbeck of West Plains
and Paul Bestor of Charlottesville for
state prohibition director; Noah
Crooks of Unionville for United
States marshal for the western dis
trict of Missouri.
Other offices to be filled are the
eollectorships for this district and
later at st. Louis and a st. Louis
postmastership. Candidates for the
St. Louis postoffice include John
Schmoll. Nat Goldstein, George ".
Davidson and c. William Bowman,
with talk of Thomas J. Atkins, former
" of Polk county, as probable
compromise. Goldstein has made two
visits to Washington recently and
Schmoll has been there once. Each
talked with Spencer, who will have
the naming Of the postmaster OF his
home city, privilege and courtes!
always extended to senator.

SUMTER COUNTY
 STANDS AT TOP

Livingston, June 5.--( (Special)--In e summary of the activities of county agents throughout Alabama, gotten out by the extension department at Au- burn, Sumter county, stands first for the week ending May 2s Speaking of cooperative selling, the report says: "Co-operative selling and cooperative buying were two important factors of agricultural extension work in Alabama during the week ending May 2S, accord ing to the reports reaching Auburn from the county agents.
 "The leading county for the week in this kind of work was Sumter, where County Agent R. G. Arnold reports the sale of nine cars of snap beans, one car of cabbage. and one car of beef cat tie. The snap beans were sold through the Cuba Truck Growers association, and brought the members net price ranging from $2.25 to $40 per bushel, or a total of $10,5o0 for the nine cars. Al committee of 25 members in this as- sociation estimated that their savings as result of co-opera Uon amounts to 25 per cent, or total of $2,625 on the nine cars of map beans.
 "This is in addition to $750 saved on five cars of beans shipped the same way the weak before, m2king total saving to the farmers on 14 cars of beans in two weeks time of $S,375, to say noth- ing of co-operation in buying, selling and handling other farm products, live stock, etc, by County Agent Arnold. This is the answer tos the question, Does county agent pay?'"

 The senators do not even get the whole hearted support of southern his efforts in this behalf, is called a town paper, and I just smile and think of what Shakespeares Puck said.
 Every now and then committee or delegation goes up from the south to Washington to discuss the cotton sit 'uation, and they just talk and talk and talk, and that is the end of that.
 Cotton gambling cannot be ended ab- soluteiy, but 1t can be curbed by act of Congress- Harding knows this, but he only has his ear to the ground and will not make move unless he hears the hand wagon coming.
