Owing TO the pretty weather the
farmers have stayed clear of town this
week. The most Of them have already
prepared their land for planting corn.
There was quite few who intended
to plant this week, but only a few
were daring enough to attempt it. We
hope that those who have planted will
not have to plant over, but most of
the farmers think that the ground
should be quite a bit warmer than it
is now.

 PICTURE AT EMPRESS

"Parlor, Bedroom and Bath" is hailed as the best farce since Fear CT and Warmer" It has the rare merit of being crescendo of humor, the last reel being the most excru- ciatingly funny of all Laughter is good thing in the holidays, and when one gets a full evening of it. the picture is worth remembering
 It is played by an all-star cast headed by Ruth Stonehouse and Flu gene Palette. The latter will be in Fair and Warmer"
 There's a touch of rough house" and good deal of it's laughter comes from the situations not likely to arise among conventional or prud- ish persons.S It has been called a fresh, flippant, farcical frolic." The story doesn't matter-it concerns mere man, and the author handled the sex and marital problems with skill that failed to leave any symptoms of bad taste.
 Alan Dale said of it in the New York American": q should set it down as 'frisky' and let it go at that. The avowed object is laughter and that it's object is attained, no. body will deny. The second act is chaotically hilarious, you could scarcely avoid laughter if you tried to. Anyway, why try? l am quite willing to confess that I laughed in a perfectly inferior way-and asked no questions of my conscience"

Should Not Forget the Soldiers.
To The Times.

o Inc lleS.
When war was declared against
Germany in 1917 the people asked the
boys between 21 and 81 to fight for
them. They did not stop to ask what
they were to be paid nor what the
cost would be to them but they, as
pa patriotic Citizens, enlisted and did not
count the cost.
The people were loud in their
praises and proclaimed all of the
boys as the nations heroes and the
boys believed in themselves and their
cause. They were told that nothing
was too good for them and that when
they returned from their service that
they would not suffer.
Yet at this very moment there are
thousands of boys who were gassed,
wounded, and crippled in various
ways and are not being taken care OF.
There are many hundreds Of thou
sands of them who want work and
are unable to get it because they were
in the army.
The American Legion wants first
to protect the disabled and then, when
they are properly taken care of they
then expect to focus their attention
on the Adjusted Compensation Bill
which is now before Congress.
But we, in Missouri, have an oppor-
tunity to show the boys that we were
not full of promises and Short on &C
ton. On August end, the voters will
pass on a Bond Issue authorizing the
payment of $1,000 per month to each
ex-service man for each month that
he was in the service.
If you believed in the boys i'll 1917
believe in them now and vote YES
on proposition number 4, and show
them that each of you are as patriotic
as they were in 1917 and don't stop
to count the cost. They didn't.

Washington, July THE United
States will have to pay approximate
ly 500 million dollars to the Amer
lean railroads in addition to the
money already paid as the result of
government control in the war, Sec
retary Mellon said today.
The secretary said that he might
find it necessary to ask congress for
an additional appropriation of 900
million dollars to meet the claims of
the railroads.
The money, which is yet to be paid
to the railroads, is chiefly for claims
of various sorts, and is in addition
to the guaranty money and reim-
bursements which have already been
appropriated for.
