RUSH CARS TO
SAVE MISSOURI LIVE STOCK

7 Because of extreme drouth in the
southern part Of the state. there has
been a rush Of livestock from that
region to the markets. Numerous
complaints have been filed with the
state public service commission
against the ST. Louis & San Francisco
railway during the last few days be-
cause cars have not been supplied.
This resulted in a conference be-
tween Commissioner Hugh McIndoe.
and General Manager Hutchinson of
the Frisco. Today Commissioner Nc
'Indoe was advised by Hutchinson
that during the latter part of the
week 600 cars would be placed at
Missouri points for live stock load
ing. i-
The movement of stock out of the
burned-up pastures Of the southern
part Of the state has. been so great
that the Frisco did not have enough
cattle to supply the demand, butNhas
requisitioned cars from other lines to
meet the rush.

HENRY FORD MAY BUY
WABASH AND VIRGINIA. RVS.

Cleveland, Ohio Rumors were
current today that Henry Ford is en-
<ieayoring to purchase the Wabash
and Virginia railroads, an official Of
one Of the Big -Four railroad brother
hoods told the United Press that ''it
was understood. that Ford has been
negotiating for the two carriers for
several weeks
Control Of the Wabash and Virgin
ian lines would give Ford clear ac-
cess to Kansas City and also to Nor
folk, Va, on the eastern coast.
Detroit, Mich. Henry Ford may
buy the Wabash Railroads and other
roads leading to his coal mines in
the south, it was learned here. Ford
Officials did not deny the report, ad-
Knitting that Ford was out to prevent
repetition of the trouble experienced
IN the recent coal shortage.

HOWARD COUNTY COAL MINERS

''For many years the farmers north
and east Of Fayette have been plow-
ing around little black rocks in their
fields, which were considered a nui-
sance, !" reports the Fayette Advertis-
er, "but things are different now.
Investigations have been made indoz-
ems of cases and it was found that
those little black rocks were moth
ing else but coal, and after digging
deep around them, good veins Of coal
have been found. So now, instead of
Objectionable little black rocks the
farmers have miniature coal mines
and the mined coal is being brought
to Fayette where it finds a ready sale
at % cents bushel and Fayette
people are now buying this coal in
preference to the high-priced lllinos
coal.

MERELY a SUGGESTION

Lawmaking is practically the only
important public service to which
men are sent with no adequate de-
ternination of thier fitness, Before a
man can doctor sick hogs his ability
is authoritatively decided. If a cucrm-
Der creates 4 ruction in your depart
ment OF the interior you do not call
in someone whose powers to cope with
the situation are unknown. The only
really big job unknown talent ever
gets is that of tinkering with the
cpuntry's industrial and CONNER
cial machinery. What We seem to
need is a competitive examination
for Npolitical candidates. From

above the ground; Irish potatoes
three times the usual size of even the
largest specimens seen in market;
sweet potatoes that resembled pump
kins. and 1,60O7pound hogs featdred
the Washington county free fair az
Dewey.
When John Jeter, a farmer living
in the rich Cotton Greek valley, near
Wann, took his corn to the county fair
the spectators gathered in the agri-
cultural building began to inspect the
long stalks for signs Of "spliea.r
J. E. Shaffer, Jr., living east of Dew
ey, who has charge of the agricultural
exhibits, was compelled to place she
corn on the walls Of the hall.
"The boys wanted to climb it and
see If they eould touch the ears
Shaffer explained.
Jeter, had six stalks eighteen feet
=
in height and declares that be owns
a large field in the Cotton valley with
the entire crop of the same height.
The ears are of ordinary size, how
ever.
Seventeen of the twenty-seven first
prizes in the vegetable apartment
were won by Gavelias brothers, two
young Greeks, who started truck far
ming last spring in the Caney valley,
north of Bartlesville. The Irish po-
tatoes were the largest ever exhibited
at the free fair, the judgs who have
been connected with the association
for ten or fifteen years say. The
sweet potatoes caused still more corn-
ment the department head says.
