The Missouri Plan.

years been in the lead in the
production of poultry and poul-
try products in the United
States. 1t now has the distinc-
tion of being one Of the first
to adopt a definite policy of
flock Improvement. The plan is
described in detail in Circular
105 of the Missouri College of
Agriculture.
Lafayette County has the dis
tinetion of having one of the
certified flocks developed under
the Missouri plan of flock devel-
opment. This flock is the prop
erty of Mrs. Chas. Seuser of
Corder. In the fall of 1918 Mrs.
Seuser had her flock of White
Leghorns culled by the County
Agent for egg production. She
then, kept accurate record of
the eggs produced for the fol-
lowing year under the plan of
the demonstration flock arrang-
ed by the Missouri College of
Agriculture. Mrs. Seuser again
had her flock culled in the Fall
of 1919 and continued her egg
records for another year. The
egg records showed a very de-
cided Improvement and gave her
an average which entitled hei
to have her flock certified by
the Missouri College of Agri.
culture. A specialist from thC
College came to her place in the
: Fall of 1920 and from her Gull
, ed flock, selected 20 White Leg
horn hens, the best of the flocl
: which were leg banded with tn,

EOnly roosters from hens with

Seeding Alfalfa.

The recent rains have put the
ground IN ideal condition for
seeding alfalfa this fall. From
requests for information in re-
gard to seed and for inoculating
material coming to the County
Agent, it is apparent that a
great deal of alfalfa is going to
be seeded. One thing is very APP
parent to anyone that takes the
truoble to investigate this prop
osition and that is that no one,
after growing alfalfa for a time
discards it in favor of other
hay. Lafayette County is fast
becoming one of the leading
counties in the State in the pro.
duction of alfalfa but only {
start has been made.

They Serve Humanity.

The man or woman who sits all day
before the microscope is serving hui
manity as truly as did any soldier In
the trench. An article in The American
Boy entitled "Sixteen-Cylinder Eyes"
makes this pregnant comment on the
work of the scientific laboratories: -.
Science and the microscope are
chiefly concerned now with the altera-
ton of the serum Of the human blood
that renders a person immune from
disease and the discovery and isolation
of germs of other diseases as yet undis-
covered. All over the world there are
men and women engaged in this re-
search work in thousands Oh labora-
tories. Day after day they sit before
their microscopes hoping to trace some
sly microbes to their lairs and make
their determination possible. Through
this wonderful instrument humanity
has been freed from untold misery and
an incalculable number of deaths and
through its revelations OF the future
may come undreamed of secrets con-
corning the very nature of matter and
even life itself.

SALT WATER MORE BU0YANT
Fact That Is Well Known to Mariners
May Be News to Some of ou'
Readers.

A boy dropped ball into small
hole and could not get 1t out, so he
poured water into the hole, thinking the
ball would float TO the surface. AS the
ball was slightly heavier than the wa
ter 1t remained on the bottom. Then
the boy thought of mixing salt with the
water, since he knew salt water would
float heavier objects than fresh water
would. He tried this and was reward
ed with the floating ball.
This particular fact is demonstrated
at the mouths of rivers. Objects roll
ing along the bottom of river, too
heavy to come to the top, will rise
when carried out TO sea. The rule also
applies to boats. A ship with cargo
on the sea will sink sometimes foot
or two on entering fresh water port.
If she leaves the port with her cargo,
she will rise on entering the ocean.
For that reason ship may be loaded
apparently too heavily at a pier and
still be all right on the waves.
In building n dam, the fact of salt
waters being heavier than fresh must
be remembered.-Kans City Star.

SERMON BY RECTOR
OWENS AT TRINITY

The pastor of Trinity Church yes
terday morning took as the text of his
sermon the lifting up in the wilder
ness of the brazen serpent. The
image of the serpent was the procla-
nation of the dreadful scourge Of the
fiery serpent's presence among the
people. and of the remedy for their al
tacks and poison.
II will be noticed, said the preacher,
that this representation was raised at
a place where everyone in the camp
could see it, In the second place all
who looked on the image were healed
In the third place only those who
looked were cured. II is necessary
therefore. if any one wished TO secure
the benefits of the power of the image
to heal. he must look at ii.
So those who would wish to have
the benefits of the salvation offered
them must accept its terms and ap-
propriate ii TO themselves.

In a Case Like That.

A family that moved recently to a
new home on Prospect avenue, well
out south, was visited at once by q
budding young merchant. He pre-
scented himself at the kitchen, a little
fellow, one dirty hand continually
taking a pencil from behind an cal
and then replacing it.
"yVant to take milk from u.s." he
inquired, sure that everyone knew
'.us." The housewife said she didn't
mind. Out came a scrubby pad OF
paper, which was handed over, with
a requests:
"Sign here"
"When can we have milk?" the
housewife inquired, with an eye te
making plans on the next meal.
"Well," said the young merchant

account of my kidneys being irregular

my kidneys and back. | was dizzy
and nervous and had to grasp some
thing to keep from falling. l used
Doans Kidney Pills from Green's
Drug Store and they gave me entire
relief. The pains left and my kid
neys became normal. Doan's certain
ly did me lots of good and l am glad
to recommend them highly to every
one who needs kidney medicine"
The above statement was given May
%, 1911, and on February 8, 1921, Mrs.
Elliott added: My faith in Doan's
Kidney Pills is as strong as ever |
will tell everyone they are good

OF the candidates mentioned have
earned their nominations BY de-
cisive majority of those who took
