MOTION PICTURES
AND DEMONSTRATIONS

Next week, every farmer milking
cows in the county, will be given an
opportunity Of getting some help on
feeding. Seven meetings will be held
on farms where some dairying is done.
On six of these farms grinders are
located and some feed will be ground
and an economical ration for milk
cows be mixed. Suggestions in re-
gard to the amount of feed that
should be fed based on tn amount of
milk produced, will be made. In
these demonstrations, corn, oats, bran
and cottonseed meal will be used. The
care and feeding Of dairy heifers will
also be discussed.
E. M. Harmon, State Extension
Specialist, from the College Of Agri-
culture, will assist in holding these
meetings. Motion pictures will be
shown in three communities at night
meetings next week. Three reels will
be shown at each meeting. Admission

TAKE A LOOK OVER
OUR GREAT SOUTHEAST

Four centuries ago gallant Span
lard, after thousand miles of march,
ing from Florida, stoon on the south
ern tip of the Sikeston ridge and pro-
claimed our land for Spain. A white
man for the first time had gazed up
on Missouri.
For centuries later, a lesser light
stood on this same spot. But instead
of Indians, ofrest fastness and only
vague ideas as to the richness of the
soil, the future progress of the peo-
PIE, the enormous crops of almost
every kind that grows in either South
or North, he saw and visioned the
nine counties which comprise Mis-
souri's garden spot-Ghe land "where
everything grows"
And great as was DeSoto's feat, it
is hardly comparable with the work
which has been done since, the most
important of which has been accom-
plished in the last decade. For in
stead Of what doubtless seemed to
him an irterminable land of giant
trees and swamps, there stands to-
day a great valley between the
Ozarks and the Mississippi River,
from few miles at the north near
the outskirts of Cape Girardeau to
gradual widening of more than 60
miles as you approach that drawn out
section of Missouri you've always no.

OF your map-a land of corn, cotton,

ton. Good homes abound, more new
ones building than in any place / yet

regime is left to testify TO what De-
Soto found except a scattered few
big trees, the burial mounds of the
Indians and the two bridges which
run from north to south, and between
which is the Little River, now a re-
spectacle drained section of rich,
black farming land instead of the
former flowing lake. This, folks, is

land.
He returned the next day or so with
a 80 days option which specified the
purchase of Is acres at the forego-

Our Ticket Today

There Is little more to be said about the three
candidates who viii be chosen today for mayor and
city commissioners. The subject has been fully laid
before the people.
We have urged the election OF Mr. Moore for
mayor and Messrs. Button and Hotchkiss for
nissioners their long records citizens their
pledge to give us good government,
There is nothing else that a good citizen can ask
Of those whom he eleyates to office. II he asks
more than that his interest in the government 10
apt to be selfish partisan
The only question is. Will these candidates do
what they have said they would do?
We think dispute that they are men
Of their word that their promises may be depended
upon. They have not sought these offices They
were drafted for the nominations by other good cti
gems who looking about for Of this type
not politicians, not men who would succumb to the
temptations OF office And they consented reluct-
antly to serve something that hitherto business
had refused to do.
we can now only say that II these are
elected to office, will approach the ideal COM
mission form Of government whose success cannot
depend upon the form but upon the men In

Vote EsrIx

Vote early today. There is going to be an un-
usually heavy vote cast AS we have stated, It will
probably not fall short OF 1900. something unheard
Of in Phoenix.
There are only twelve voting precincts that
there would then be an average OF more than 900
votes to the precinct But some Of the precincts,
especially north side precincts, much larger in
voting population others that in Of them
the voters viii run to than 1000. 1t win there
lore require sary and pretty steady voting to get

Late voters therefore are not likely to be
voters at all
swim anybody be elected tomorrow asked

at the regular election?"
There win almost surely be regular election"
this year. It takes only majority Of one to elect
today. AS there only two candidates for mayor
tonight 1t will surely be either Mayor Moore or Mayor
Harmon.
There is sometimes a chance when four men are
running for two offices, as there are now for the
two places in the commission, because OF indisv
criminate voting that no candidate win receive
a majority Of all the votes cast. There would then
be a "run-o off" at regular election
But that is not likely to happen today for Il
seems to be the disposition Of than ever

that there will probably be but little scratching
So If you want to have any voice in this election
YOU must let it be heard today.
Voters who may be in doubt as to the precincts
in which they belong and the polling places OF the
precincts should cut out the voting plat and the
printed descriptions of precinct boundaries which
appeared in The Republican yesterday.
1t would also be well for voters to take with
them TO the polls today the registration certificates
which were given them when they registered. They
would not likely be needed but often errors made
in which names are omitted from the compiled lists
A registration certificate in such a case would save
time and an inquiry at the city hall.

by Mr.. Lane of the Dwight B. Heard
realty office.
On the 23d day of June, 1920, the
city commission passed an ordinance.
No. 394, authorizing the city manager
to purchase Is acres of my tract of
land on the Thomas road at 5000 an
acre. About the time this ordinance
was published / discovered that the
city instead of taking Is acres of my
land clear across the tract, specified
a block covering 20 acres on one side
and only 10 acres deep, cutting the
tract into an L-shape, which would
prevent selling separately the lower
portion of the tract.
When / discovered this I made a
reservation in the deed, which was
then in the form of preparation, per-
mitting me to use the roadways lead
ing into the five acres that otherwise
would be cut off by the city's pur-
chase. This deed was rejected when
rendered and l refused to proceed
with the transaction. Mr.. Sellers
then took up the matter with the city
authorities and / received the follow
ing letter informing me that condem-
nation proceedings would be started
compelling me to deliver the acreage
desired by the city through litigation.
