No More Homestea ds Here.

At last all of Missouri's public land
is gone. The land office at Spring
field, only survivor of fifteen such
offices, is to be closed and the records
sent to Washington to be filed in the
vaults of the Department of the In
terror. There is no more land left for
either the homesteader or the specu-
lator. the announcement cannot fail
to cause feeling of regret, although
for several years only about 1000
acres of poor billy land has been
available.
In the year 1905 the various land
offices we're consolidated and their
records moved to Springfield, prac-
tically all the land in Northern Mis-
souri, having been before taken up.
Under ruling of Secretary of the In
terror Hitchcock all the government
land in Missouri was then opened to
cash entry at $1.25 per acre, in any
amount, the limit up to that time hav-
ing been 800 acres. This was the
SPECTATORS opportunity, and thou
sands acres were quickly gobbled mp
by individuals and corporations, a
large part of which, in Southern Mis-
souri,, still lies umimproved, awaiting
the building of railroads.

Contract Let for Fredericktown Road.
(Greenville sun.)


The State Highway Department
awarded a contract last Friday to
Dick H. Hogan, of Little Rock, Ark,
to construct sixteen and one-half
miles of state highway between Fred
ericktown and Coldwater, $21O, 900.
When this lap of construction is
completed it will open up a through
direct state road between Poplar
Bluff and st. Louis by way of Green
vile, Fredericktown and Pennington.
The awarding of this contract,
which for some reason, has been de-
layed for mauy months, is welcome
news to those living along that route.
This stretch of road between Cold
water and Fredericktown, which is
the only lap of unimproved road on
the state highway between st. Louis
and Poplar Bluff, and was bugbear
to tourists and has caused most of
them to take some other route. With
it's completion practically all of the
tourists travelling from st. Louis south
through this section of the state
will naturally take this route, be-
cause it is the most direct, and also
because it will be one of the best
roads in the state, traversiDg some Of
the most beautiful scenery for which
the Ozark region is justly famous.

ing instructions concerning this Con-
gressional District organizations and
predicted with proper leader select
ed this district can be redeemed.
DR.. ]. L. Eaton addressed the meet
ing. He paid splendid tribute tc
mothers and the good judgment OF
women and made an eloquent plea
for the ex-soldiers stating that the
government had found means OF
raising enormous sums Tor other pur-
poses and therefore must meet the
legitimate demands of the soldiers
The meeting was in every way sue
cess and we women feel we are now
in position to put over the ideals for
which the women stand.
Yours, respectfully,
MRS. GEO. j. GoELTz,
President Bismarck Democratic Club.

Funds Available to Build Roads.

The $350,O0O,00o appropriated by
Congress as Federal aid in conjunc-
ton with state funds will result in
construction of about $4,000 miles of
road, says the Bureau of Public Roads
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. This mileage would
parallel the railroad from New York
to San Francisco nearly 15 times, or
if divided equally among the states,
parallel the road in New York state.
The status of road building on April
80 was as follows: In projects entire
ly complete, total of 1876 miles;
under construction, 1880 miles in
projects, averaging So per cent COM
plete. A considerable part of the
latter mileage is actually complete
and in service. In additi on, funds
have been allotted 1911 miles, much of
which will come under construction
during the present season. Besides
this there is still available for new
projects 6O,148,00O, which on the
same basis as previous Federal aid
construction will result in 4he con-
struetion of 5000 miles of highway.
In March the fund available for new
projects was taken up at the rate of
$12, 100000 month and at the rate of
80, 700, 900 in April.

Emerson at CoIIeue,

He found there but little nutriment
suited to his appetite, and strayed off,
though with some misgivings, to other
pastures. In one of his journals long
afterwards, he speaks of ''the instinct
which leads the youth who has no fac
ulty for mathematics, and weeps over
the impossible analytical geometry, to
console his defeat with Chaucer and
Montaigne, with Plutarch and Plato at
night" i. In his own way he was
Industrious; feeling vaguely that, for
him, power of expression was more
important than pathological or scientific
training.-James Elliott Cabot.

At Home and Abroad.

A nine-year-old youngster who has
a cultured mother and has received
the most careful training all his young
life, had his luncheon alone downtown
recently. His family is exceedingly
careful of his diet at home, but the
boy placed on his own tray baked
beans, dill pickle and brick of ice
cream. He timed himself to deter
mine how quickly he could consume
the beans with soup spoon, used
knife and fork for the brick cream,
and threw the pickle at schoolmate
who sat at an adjoining table.--Eldo'

Insects and drinking drops of dew
If one is caught by the leg it surren'

ORIGINAL nRill Of t1ealth.n

A bill of health is a certificate is
sued to the master of a vessel when
clearing from port. When no dis
ease of an infectious nature exists in
the port, the bill is known as clean
bill Of health; if infectious disease
is suspected or there is possibility of
such, it is called suspected bill
while in case of such disease exist
ing, it is known as a foul bill. The
expression "clean bill of health" is
often applied to individuals, who
after a physical examination, are
found in perfect health.

Republicans Demanding designations of
Republican Officers.

Senator Capper asking for the resig-
nation of Secretary Weeks recalls the
fact that the demand by Republicans
for the designations of Republicans in
high places in this administration is
generally prevalent and is increasing
in intensity. The Republican press,
or that part of it which still retains its
independence and influence with the
public, is demanding the resignation
of Attorney General Daugherty; the
demands for Senator Newberry's
resignation have been matters of
record ever since his election; the
Washington Herald which is still sup
posed to reflect the views of Secre-
tary Hoover, although he is ont of it
as an owner, says that the sentiment
in Congress is such that it may lead
to a demand for Secretary Fall's
resignation, which ought also to call
for the resignation of Secretary of the
Navy DENLY on the, theory that the
tail goes with the hide; the job hunt
ers are strongly in favor of the resig-
nation of Secretary Mellon, which
many think would have been forth
coming if he had been overruled in
the matter of appointments in the In
ternal Revenue Bureau.
Still, as President Harding remark
ed, Government is very simple
thing after ALL"
