The sweet Potato Crop

The sweet potato crop is now har-
vested in Charlton and farmers have
been hauling these potatoes all over
central Missouri during the past two
or three weeks selling them in the
various markets.
The sweet potatoes which grow in
the fine loose land in the south part
of the county are very high class IN
deed and usually find ready market.
however, some of the growers feel
that the cost of marketing under
the present conditions is excessive
and that if these potatoes could be
stored in warehouse and shipped by
carload lots to the markets a little
later in the year it would be better.
Mr.. Page from the Horticulture De-
partment Of the college of Agricul-
ture spent Monday of>this week visit
ing some of the growers and present
ing plans for sweet potato storage. A
meeting of sweet potato growers will
be held next week at the school house
about three miles south Of Keytes-
vile for the purpose of giving this
proposition consideration. The sweet
potato growers at Caruthersville, in
south east Missouri have just COM
pleted a $4,000 bushel storage house
and they expect this warehouse to
more than pay for itself in the first
two years of its operation.
Dress Forms for Women
Miss Essie M. Heyle spent Friday
and Saturday of last week in Chari-
ton County demonstrating the method
of making dress forms for women.
Meetings were held at Rothville and
at the Jordan school house west OF
Keytesville. The ladies' who attended
these demonstrations were well pleas
ed and are putting this work into
practice rapidly. The demonstration
showed how any woman can have a
form made of paper on which she
may fit the dresses which she will
make for herself. The cost for ma
terials is only about 80 cents. (.
For fufther Information III regard
to making these ask the County
Agent who will be glad to refer you
to some of the ladies who attended
these demonstrations and who Will
be glad to assist you in making one
of these forms for yourself.

the commercial markets.
As yet no shortage of coal has been
experienced in Moberly, according TO
dealers. The status of the Wabash's
coal supply is not known, as part of
their fuel is obtained from mines in
this district.
Mr.. Hepple denied the rumor which
has been afoat in this district that a
secret strike was to be inaugurated in
the mines here the first of the month.
Started in Macon
81 know of no such STRIKE" said
Mr.. Hepple.
This rumor, it appears, originated
in Macon few days ago and was to
the effect that all miners in District
No. % were to walk out in a sympa-
thetic strike with the miners of Kan
sas who are out on strike because of
the fact that their leaders, Alexander
Howat and John Dorchy are serving
short Jail sentences for defiance Of the
Kansas industrial law.
Officials denied this strike, and
stated that the situation in Kansas
would not effect the Missouri mines
in this district unless a sympathetic
strike was called, and no information
had been received which might lead
them to think that such strike
would be called here.-Moberly In

The premiums offered are fully as
good as those offered by the Missouri
State Corn show and there is no rea-
son why we should not have just as
big show as that held at Columbia
if everybody will get to work and
pick out the best corn they have dur
ing the next three weeks.
The cash premiums start at $4,000
for the best bushel of white and also
yellow corn and $500 for the best
ten ears of both white and yellow.
In the 10-ear classes there are cash
prizes 'down to the eighth place, %
there is mighty good chancellor you
to get well paid for your trouble In
selecting 10 ears of corn.
For the boys and girls under -
years of age the prizes start at $40
for the best 10 ears of white and yell
low and run down to the fifth plare
so we hope the boys and girls will
get out lot of good corn and see
that it gets into the show.
: A good speaking program is being
arranged for the three days so that
something will be doing all the time.
Begin to plan for these three days
right now.

Miners Strike at Jacksonville

One hundred and sixty coal miners
for the Jacksonville Coal company
went on a strike last Thursday
morning due to some misunderstood
ing with the company.
At the office of the United Mine
Workers, district number rs, it was
stated that such strike existed, but
that the matter was being handled
by Lonnie Jones, a director of the
organization at Huntsville. George
Hepple, secretary and treasurer of the
mine workers, stated he could not
give any information on the strike
or the cause, as the information was
not in his hands, but the matter was
left to Mr.. Jones, who is working
with the miners and the operators
in an effort to settle the difference
between the two factions.
1t is anticipated that the men will
return to the mines before long, as
this mine is the only one that has
been operating at Jacksonville for
some time, is was stated.
Other Mines Closed
Information was also received at
the district office of the United Mine
Workers that there are only two
small mines in the Huntsville fields
which are turning out coal. The
larger mines have been closed for
some time, due, it was stated, partly
to the operators, the miners, and in
sufficient number of coal cars \ tn

A RECALL ELECTION

Out of the west comes the report
that the people of North Dakota are
going on record with a recall election.
1t will be remembered that North
Dakota is the state where Charlie
Townley with his Non-P Partisan
league turned everything upside,
down and down side up-it was one
Of the greatest acrobatic stunts ever
pulled off anywhere by anybody.
The league controlled all politics of
the state from dog catcher to dog Kill
Ter, from justice of the peace to the
state supreme court, and We gods,
what mess!
Laws were passed in a controlled
state Legislature, and when the laws
were tired out in the courts, and.
mayhap appealed to the state su-
preme court the controlled S. C.. up
held the legislative acts, and in some
cases went them one better.
Things were fine. The league
owned papers in every county in the
state and in these papers all legal
notices must be published The re-
suit was that many small papers in
the state closed the front door and
fired the devil.
A State owned -four mill was es-
tablished at Drake, N. D., and the
grafters sold $4,000 worth of flour
sacks-enough to last the little two
by=twice mill II years. The records
showed that the mill never did any,
thing but lose money.
A home building association was al
so formed and it was some associa-
ton. The first year of its existence
one little home was built. The an
preparation was over quarter million
for this society that was going to
build homes for the common people.
A bank was organized at Fargo.
Nd, and all state funds had to be de-
posted therein because the articles
of Incorporation said so. Legitimate
banks all over the state could no lon
ger carry state funds, and many os
the little fellows had a hard time in
connecting up on the right side of
the ledger when the bank examiner
came around. One day, however, a
state bank examiner started to look
into the affairs of the nonpartisan
institution at Fargo, and he was bod
lily fired out into the cold wind and
the snow banks for which North Da-
kota is justly famous. No sir, no
bank examiner will ever be allowed
to go over our books. Isn't the su-
preme court of the state with US
However, before tai state bank ex-.
aminer was fired out of the building
he discovered $5O,OeO worth of pos.-
dated checks. In decision handed
down later by the state supreme
court of North Dakota these post
dated checks were held to be perfect
ly good bankable paper-good bank
securities-can you beat it?
Now TOwnley is discredided to a
greater degree in North Dakota and
at this time he is spreading his
!
beautiful sunshine" in Nebraska.
And in North Dakota the recall
election is about to be held.
There is a moral to this, and its
old as the hills. @You can't fool al

What S What
BY HELEN DECIE

Modern calling is by no means the
complicated problem set forth in OBJ
solete manuals Of etiquette. Nova
days, the old time duty" of paying
calls has simplihed itself almost to
the vanishing point.
Twentieth century life has so many
more important interests for women
that there is neither time nor in
clination for the routine Of formal
calling once deemed essential to So
cial life. Women meet everywhere
now; at clubs. and at political and
social service assemblies, as we'll as
at the dances and theater parties
given and returned by congenial
groups. 1t is more considerate to
make calls on the appointed 'at
home day than to come unexpected
ly and perhaps at time when the
hostess is about to go out. In
case of this sort the caller should not
remain, but should leave her card
and depart promptly. One old con-
vention has not changed; "a card is
a call' always. The pour prendrc
congo, or going away card, is seldom
used nowadays, although some per-
sons still make point of writing
P. P. c. on their visiting cards be-
fore they depart for any prolonged
absence

smiled down at Marion.

in it that made me open my eyes a
trifle. and | looked at Lillian quick
