Millinery School.

Miss Robinson, State Clothing
Specialist, conducted a millinery
class for local leaders residing
in the east half of the county.
The legion boys of Corder do
mated the use of their club rooms
at Corder for the time. These
were lovely large cool rooms to
work in. Mr.. Kleinschmidt very
generously loaned a mirror and
electric iron for the use of the
women. Mrs. Harry Holscher
donated her time making ar
r%angements for the class and
her sewing machine for the en-
tire time of the class. Miss
Void greatly appreciates these
courtesies and the class and in
structor join her in expressing
appreciation for all these cour-
tesies.
Mrs. Ernest Corbin, Mrs. Will
Guenther, Mrs. Harry Holscher,
Mrs. Charles Seuser, Mrs. Her
bert Higgins, Miss Rosa DECK
haus, Miss Anna Windhausen
and Miss Bertha Crosse took the
full course and are ready to
take charge of classes in their
respective communities. If you
are interested in making your
fall hat at a much reduced price
or learn to make all your hats,
consult one of these leaders and
make application for member
ship in their class. Miss Bina
Slaughter and Miss Void also
made hats. Mrs. Royle Bland
was to have taken the course
but unfortunately illness forced
her to change her plans. A to-
tai of 81 hats was made at a
cost of $61.71. Estimating each
hat at less than $1,000 this
makes a saving of $91.57.
Hats of all styles from sport
models to dress hats were made.
All the visitors were delight
ed with the pretty hats all of
which were comfortable as well
as becoming to the wearer.

Poultry CulIing.

A poultry culling demonstra-
ton was held in Cooperation
with the Lexington Poultry AS
ISOLATION Thursday evening,
September 18th. twenty-five
were present and after learning
some of the cardinal principles
of culling agreed to pass the
word on to a neighbor who was
unable to be present at the dem
onstration. Such organizations
as the Lexington Poultry Asso-
citation will help to bring the
poultry interest of Lafayette
County to the front.
Poultry cuttings are arranged
this week at Mrs. Tom Powers,
Odessa, Mo-, Mrs. Frank Brown,
Bates City, on Tuesday and Ar
thur Knapp on Wednesday be-
tween Higginsville and Lexing-
ton. Other folks who would like
to have a demonstration in their
vicinity get in touch with the
Agent and arrange such a meet
ing.

Poultry Culling.

Poultry culling and egg grad
ing occupied the attention of La
fayette County Farm Bureau
members the past week. Two
culling demonstrations were
given where twenty-four peo-
people learned how to Gull and
six focks have been culled from
this start.
Lafayette county folks are not
thinking of culling just for the
novelty of saying they had the
County Extension Agent Gull
their locks. The agent and the
folks are working together to
see how many people in each
community can learn to Gull
their fiocks. Another motive is
right behind the culling motive
and that is how can we improve
our eggs and get more for them.
A plan is already on foot be-
tween the farmers and the poul-
try dealers to begin buying on
a quality basis. OF course the
change can't be made in a day
and the poultry men have to
build up their reputation in the
eastern markets too, but the
farmer who has been producing
clean eggs is tired of taking a
dock at the local market because
some people don't have interest
in the poultry game enough to
val"

Terracing Demonstration

The terracing demonstration
given at the Armon Twentt
farm of near Napoleon was vel
attended. Twenty-Five farmers
were present and some of them
were of the opinion that il
would work and expressed a de-
sire to have their farms terrac-
ed soon.
OF course running water what
appeared to be up hill, is bound
to have a few skeptics.
One of the things that will go
far to make this demonstration
a success is the skill of the
Twente Bros, at handling a
grader pulled by a tractor. This
pair finished 1000 feet of ter
race Friday afternoon in about
5 hours.
Several farmers present ex-
pressed a desire to use some
kind of fertilizer. Acid phos-
plate $50 lbs. to the acre was
recommended. MIR. Dietz of the
Extension Soils Dept, was in
charge of the work. The County
Extension Agent E. L. Carrot
was on hand and helped wlsh the
work.

A terracing demonstration will
be given at Armon Twente farm
near Napoleon. Mr.. Dietz, soil
specialist Of the university, will
be in charge of the work. 1t is
hoped that every farmer in
northwest Lafayette county
county will make note Of this
demonstration and be on hand
if they are interested. On the
billy land of this part of Mis-
souri, d farmer can make no
no mistake in observing all the
best practices in handling their
land.

STANDARDIZATION OF COTTON

Cotton is often judged by the company il keeps.
II one two farmers produce cotton OF a good
grade and staple while the other farmers in the
community produce lower grade and shorter
staple; the two farmers will more than likely have
their crop penalizcd. This is more apt to be the
case If farmers sell their cotton on the street a
community with reputation for good staple cotton
is beneficial to the farmer who has cotton Of less
value
II has been demonstrated that there is distinct
advantage in the community Standardization OF cot
ton II buyer go into a community and secure
a hundred bales or more Of cotton Of a uniform
grade and staple, il is to his advantage 10 pay bet
ter price. for he can hl an order without securing
the country in order to complete his shpment
there is another advantage in community standard
zation Of cotton II is found in the fact that TO bring
about uniformity Of staple. good seed must be
purchased so farmers gain by having better cotton
for sale.
There are several varieties Of cotton. all Of
which meet with requirements Of good staple. Some
varieties will do better in certain sections than 9th
ers Farmers in each community should determine
which TO adopt and then stick TO it.-Farm and
Ranch.
There is certainly some great advantages to the
Standardization OF cotton and farmers. we believe
should take these advantages into consideration in
the planting OF cotton. Cotton is cotton VIII no
longer stand the test and we are confident that the
Farm and Ranch position is we'll taken and should
have the serious though, Of the trainers hroug hout
this country.

TAX THEM OUT or EXISTENCE

irresponsible street statesmen drop into our
towns once in a while and take out hundreds Of dol
lars that ought to go into the ts OF the local trades
men. These flyby-nights pay only a small auction
tax sell their goods Of doubtful merit, like they
were hot cakes and then they are gone. They
pay no taxes support schools and city institutions
and you can't find one when you need donation
for some worthy public Why is il that so
many will dig up good money and pay over
to these fakirs when they cant pay their To-
cal merchants who have befrended them in time
OF needp The City Council ought to make the
peddler's tax so high that it would drive out such
questinoable competition and thus many dol
lar both for the merchants and the patrons OF these
quick fire artsts.--Planyiew News
Every town has its portion Of this kind OF peo-
pie and il is a problem to handle them setisfactor-
lily. II Is true indeed that they take thousands Of
dollars out Of town each year that should be spent
IN town. with people who interested in the de
velopmcnt Of the town who spend hundreds and
sometimes Thousands OF dollars each year in helping
build schools. churches and hundred and one
other things that around for consideration
during the year. Then too. the people often buy a
quality Of stuff from the street peddler that they
would not look at in a local store half the price
they pay for il. and take it along and gloai over
what a splendid bargain they got People should
take these things into confederation. and play the

JIM FERGUSON BoBs UP.

Like the bad dollar, Jim Ferguson just keeps
bobbing up This time he has had the gall To offer
himself candidate for the Office OF United States
Senator subjec, TO the Democratic primaries In
the election Of 1920. when the Democrats needed
all the assistance they could get. Jim persuaded
bunch Of fellows to follow him in the orgeniza-
ton Of another party which he chose to call the
American Party. and thereby diverted lot OF votes
from the father party. and helped the Republi-
cans get into power. and now he is back in the
Democratic ranks. and is offering himself as can
didate for the high office Of United States Senator,
In making his announcement he referred to the
past in his record in Texas as follows: his be-
ing National office. ! am in way disqualified
to hold IT, The American Party having dissolved,
my announcement is made subject to the Demo
cratic primaries The same Senate which attempt
ed to impcach me. and composed largely OF the
same members and OF the same faction last year,
voted to hang my picture in the hall Of fame beside
the picture OF all the great Democratic Governors
As they forgave me. gladly forgive them. and
now return to the house OF my fathers The why's
and the wherefors will be discussed later
1t will be remembered that Jim WAS impeachcd
according to the records OF the State for alleg
ed unbecoming action that he mixed up in
while he was governor OF the State. After this
much to the disgust Of lot Of good citizens Of Texas
the legislature voted to hang Jims picture in the
hall OF fame in the State Capitol by the side OF
Democratic governors This, in our opinion was
far from right and hose legislators who had to do
with this should certainly be remembered most
kindly the next time they for office and grant
them the privilege of staying home. While we are
confident that Jim will go to the Senate il is
unfortunate that the Democratic party must suffer
the humiliation Of having a wishy-washy man OF
Jims type to break back into the ranks and have
the nerve to want to go to, Washington a repre-
sentative of this great State. The voters of Texas
