MANY people ask that question,
but very few trouble to seek the
answer.
Why should people patronize'
their home merchants?
Because it is a great saving of
time, and time today represents
money.
Because the home merchant
can only remain in business
through the patronage of home
people, and a town without mer-
chants would be sorry place in
which to live.
Because the home merchant
sells goods that do not have to
be returned because defects or
inferiority of quality. 1t is the
only way in which a local man
can hold his trade.
Because the local merchant is
not in the habit of charging ex-
cessive prices. You may at
times be able to get the same
article elsewhere for a little less
money but the quality will In
variably be reduced incorporation
to the price. The local merchant
can not afford to sell cheap
stuff. His customers would not
tolerate it.
Because the prosperity of a
community depends upon the
amount of money in circulation
and that is regulated mainly by
the marketing of surplus pro-
ducts abroad and the keeping Of
as much as possible of the re
ceipts at home.
Because a community. thai
E spends most of its money abroad
for supplies soon finds that it ha'
but little left for the purchase o
!, additional supplies.
}, It's so simple a child coult
understand it, and what a chik
can comprehend should not g
UNDECIDED by adults.
81 Think it over.
Thinking may accomplis'
! much good. 1t certainly will d
; no harm.

TURNIP greens is a dignifed
and respectable dish, any day in
the week. True, the free use of
these would tend to a depression
in the drug store business, but
Rockingham druggists are good
fellows and wouldn't growl so
awfully.
But it is doubtful if nearly as
many people are familiar with
urnip green's as should be. i
folks would get the habit Of mix.
ing a square meal of turnips and
turnip green's along with their
meals accasionly, they would
learn to appreciate this tempting
dish more, and as a result woulc
enjoy better health. This is call
ed to mind by reason of the fact
that the'season is on for planting
turnip seed. Make a small patch
and enjoy real 'eatings.'

WILLIAM j. BRYAN DECLARES
HE is LATENT DEMOCRAT

A Marion, o., dispatch, dated Dec.
81, says: William Jennings Bryan is
not nearly so dead, politically, as
some Democrats think.
President-elect Harding doesn't
consider him dead. OF all the chest
minds" who come to Marion, none, ap-
parently, left better impression than
the Commoner.
Harding got great deal of inspir-
alton from the Bryan visit, and will
consult him frequently on nonpartisan
questions during the next four years.
The subject nearest Bryan's heart
is the entrance of the United States
into the League and this he discussed
at length with the next President.
Linked with this is his plan to pre-
vent wars through International
agreements that nations shall take a
referendum of their citizens before
going to war.
This plan Harding has character
lied as "big idea"
Bryan will exert his influence in the
next United States Senate to secure
ratification Of the League covenant.
Bryan will also seek ratification of
the proposed constitutional amend
ment to permit bare majority of the
Senate, rather than the two-thirds
now needed to ratify peace treaty.
"a bare majority of Congress can
declare war;" he points out.
81 now refer to myself as latent
Democrat" says Bryan. "That's a
Democrat who's more active some
times than other times"

SHORT COURSE IN COL
LEGE OF AGRICULTURE

The second term of the Short
Course, one Of the big features of the
College of Agriculture's service TO
farmers, begins January 8 and closes
February 26. This is a time when
work on the farm is not SO heavy and
the students can complete this term
and return to their homes before the
busy spring work begins.
This work is open to any student
who has a common school education
and who is more than sixteen years
old. The work is designed to meet the
needs of those who have not had the
opportunity to complete four-yeal
high school education and will equir
them with a knowledge of farm prob.
lens of greater value than could be
worked out in their community in q
lifetime. n,
Upon the satisfactory completion 81
four terms of work, comprising two
years, a certificate, signed by the
President of the University and The
Dean of the College of Agriculture
will be received by the student.
There is no tuition. Only library
hospital and incidetal fee, of SIS i
charged, which entities the student Ia
the library books, free hospital and
medical attention while in school. Adj

ding the cost of room and board to this
with few minor fees in different
courses any student can take advant-
age Of this exceptional opportunity
for an agricultural education for a
500 term or 5000 for the entire year.
Farmers Week, January II to 81 in
elusive, the greatest aGsemblage of
farmers in the United States, will be
held during this second term. This
program, in which the State Board OF
Agriculture and other farmers organi-
cations are cooperating with the Col
lege of Agriculture in securing speak
ers of national and international repu-
tation will ocer all its advantages to
the Short Course students.
The Fourteenth Annual Livestock
Judging Contest for Short Course stu
diets will be held at the close of the Sec
ond term in February 1921. These are
some of the prizes offered to the Short
Course studets who excel in livestock
Judging: The Rotermund Percheron
Medal to the best judge of horses, the
Rinehart Mule Medal to the best Judge
of mules, the Richards Poland China
Medal to the best judge of swine and
the Good Donald Hereford Farm Med
al to the best judge of beef cattle. 1
An agricultural education is thing
to be coveted by every farmer boy. 1t
enables him to raise the quality of his
products and thereby increase his III
come. The College of Agriculture in
vestigated 554 farmers income in one
Missouri county and found that the
educated farmers income was TIA per
cent larger than that of the unframed
farmer. The same general fact has
been found to be true by other agricul-
tural colleges and by the us. Depart
ment of Agriculture.

FOES OF LONE STAR ROUTE
IN DUTCH ALREADY

When Poplar Bluff Chamber of
Commerce was putting on the fight of
| its life to bring the Lakes to the
Gulf Coast Highway, "the Lone Star
Route" through Southeast Missouri
with Poplar Bluff as the division
point between st. Louis and Little
Rock, the only ugly opposition was
from "The international Pavedway
Association" which was being pro-
NOTED by Ernest Reeves, representing
himself as president of the associa-
ton and E. w. Willet introduced as
the highway engineer, for the same
organization. The st. Louis Cham
Der of Commerce and the st. Louis
Automobile Club were reported as ia
vorable to the international Paved
way and opposed to federalizing the
Lone Star Route to Poplar Bluff.
The opposition doomed at big meet
ing held in this city on the occasion
of the visit of the board of directors
of the Lone Star Route, but investiga-
ton soon disclosed the fact that the
men did not represent the st. Louis
organization nor did they voice the
sentiment of the organization.
Southeast Missouri is nto to be
smiled at for falling for the bogus
road project. 1t was just the spirit of
progress. The district is on fire for
good roads. The communities which
went behind the project are those
which have voted bonds and done other
things of national nature to get
roads. Some of the communities
which have done virtually nothing to
help themselves in getting roads are
disposed to say, eve told you So"
Those communities are setting back
and expecting a peacock trail paid for
by these same communities, which are
willing to put their money behind
roads.
Seeing the real interest in roads in
the communities defrauded by the
bogus movement, Popular Bluff Lakes
to the Gulf Club invited several of the
towns to become interested in the
Lone Star Route and if possible, these
towns are going to put on the high
way, which shall link the Great Lakes
country with the Rio Grande region.
The fact Of the defrauding of South.
east Missouri towns was given pub
licity in st. Louis papers some days |
ago.
Towns where collections were made |
end the amount, were: DeSoto, 5000; |
Pennington, $500; Bonnie Terre, $155; |
Advance, 500; Bloomfield, 5000; Dex-
ter, $500; Bernie, 500; Maiden, $500; /!
5000.
Becoming uneasy, these towns be-
gan an investigation which resulted in
discovering situation as above. The
eXploiters of the plan were working
without the authority of the st. Louis
Club, or anyone else with
whom they had claimed connections.
Affidavits from men in Southeast
Missouri towns state that Reeves
claimed to have been sent out by the
St. Louis Automobile Club and that
Willet claimed to have federal author
ty for locating highways.
The citizens of towns selected by
Reeves and Willet as points along the
paved highway were told to keep the
matter secret, as Kansas City would be i
likely to fight the activities of st.
Louis.
Reeves insisted on immediate pay
nent of assessments against the va
.ious towns and they paid.-Poplar

BONDED WAREHOUSES; IN
NEW MADRID COUNTY

The first United States bonded
warehouses in Missouri have been es-
tablished in New Madrid county, there
being three, as follows: No. 1912 at
Champion; No. 1918 at Noxall; and
No. 1914 at Matthews.
These warehouses are authorized to
issue warehouse receipts on which
money can be borrowed amounting to
| Ia cents a pound for grain ware
house.
Sunfower seed is classed as grain in
the warehouses and the farmers of
New Madrid county have already bor-
rowed more than $4,000 on their
warehouse receipts, the business be-
ing transacted through the First Ma
tional Bank of Cape Girardeau, which
rediscounts at the Federal Reserve
Bank in st. Louis"
This arrangement has materially
benefited the farmers of New Madrid
county, the IA cent per pound bor-
rowed probably being more than the
suntlower seed could be sold outright
through other agencies.
The sunfower seed is growing in
Importance. A representative of the
American Cotton, Oil Company of
New York met W. W. Wooden, mana
ger of the Sunfower Seed Associa-
ton, at Cairo, this week, to figure on
buying the entire output of New
Madrid county seed.
This concern wants only the oil
which is superior to cotton seed oil
so that the New Madrid county asso.
citation will arrange for the return OF
the sunfower seed cake by paying the
freight charges, which will give then
cheap, nutritious feed for five stock.

ORACLE OF THE ROMINE
g., HILLS TO HOLD NO
SEANCE IN 1921

The oracle of TaSkee, over which
has presided Mrs. w. f. Forbes, re-
ferred to by some as the Witch of the
Romine Hills, but by those who know
her as a mystic clairvoyant possessing
an inhuman conception of the unborn
future, passed into history with the
gong of 1920.
Mrs. Forbes is a moral retiring
woman, living at the town of Taskee
at the south part of the county, who
passed into strange frances following
refreshments. She became a little
child and the story is that information
impaired to her and by her to others
during these periods, is from Little
Joe," her deceased baby boy with
whom she talks when in trance. 1t
is stated that Mrs. Forbes is suffering
from a serious tumOr and she says
Little Joe" has told her to quit so
that with the coming of 1921 she is
devoting herself to quiet home life.
While she has always remained at
home, pilgrims have at times literally
invaded her TaslIee home, seeking her
prediction of their future destinies.
By no means have her visitors been
from Southeast Missouri towns alone,
but her fame is interstate and ever
international, for at least one foreign
er, man from Canada, has been to
Taskee, and he, as did others, left sat
isfied with her conception she impaired
to him of the fate that would control
his future.
Irrespective of the views of any
one on such matters, there is some
thing out of the ordinary about the
woman and if her information on lost
articles, for instance, is guess, she
was born under lucky star, for she
