SPIKES LEADING STAR
IN S. E. MO. LEAGUE

A contest conducted by newspapers
of southeast Missouri recently, has de-
cided the leading players of the South
east Missouri Baseball League.
The All-SOutheast Missouri, or first,
team is composed of the following :
Pitcher, Gray, Poplar Bluff; Catcher,
Thomas, Maiden; first base, Spikes,
Maiden; second base, Sinner, Kennett !:
third base, Smetzer Kennett: short
stop, Dudley, SikestOn; left field, Cald-
well, Kennett; center field, Dowdy,
/ Sikeston; right field. Steward, Poplar
Bluff.
Spikes of Maiden, is our Jimmie
Spikes, son of Mrs. Neeta Spikes and
native of POcahontas. He has been
setting the league afire with his sensa-
tiOnal fielding and hitting. We under
stand that he has been made tempt
ing offer by the major leagues.
In speaking of the selection of Spikes
the Poplar Bluff Republican says: "The
outstanding star in the voting was
Jimmie Spikes, the raven-lOcked first
sacker of Maiden. Out of eight posi-
BILE first places, he secured seven first
and one second. However, the ballot
crs differed as to what position he
should play. Two thought he was the
first choice for shortstOp, while the
other six thought he was the logical
man for first place. 1t is almost a
tOss-up between the two contestants,
Spikes and KarnOsky of Kennett. Both
handle the fielding part equally well.
Karnosky probably has a little advan-
tage in the fielding ability. But it
is offset by the advantage Spikes has
in hitting. Some sport writers placed
Spikes at short, thus keeping both
players in the first team"

Kans., visited relatives here last week.

Farmers Short Course
Gets Good Attendance

The farmers of Randolph county had
wonderful opportunity this week to
hear some talks on some very vital
subjects. These talks have been OF a
very practical nature and have been
such that the farmer felt that he had
part in the program, in that time
was given for the asking of questions
and telling of their own experiences
on their own farms.
The speakers were men from the de-
partment, who have been most closely
associated with the actual farm work
and farm life.
Mr.. j. Il. McKell, our district agri-
cultural agent, has treated the follow
ing subjects I'm very fOrceful manner
and has shown us the value of farm
products and operations in such way
that we can't help but be impressed
by them to the extent that many farm
ers will put into practice these sug-
gestiOns and ideas. The subjects fol-
low; Developing the Dairy Herd"
"Soy Beans" and DAIRY Feeding"
Mr.. Burleson, crop specialist, has
brought out some most interesting
facts on the subjects he dealt with,
and as result We feel that We are
in position now to solve our own
problems in a better way than ever be-
fore. He gave us some very interest
ing talks on pastures and on cover
crops, and some most helpful talks on
soils, fertilizers, etc. Without the pas
lures we need not try to do dairy
work, because we will fail sooner or
later. The farmers who missed the

Public Schools Will
Open Here Sept. 18th

The POcahontas Public Schools will
open on Monday, September 14th, for
the 1886 term. There will be a
short program beginning at 9:3O and
the patrons of the school are earnestly
urged to be present.
All teachers are asked to be at the
school building on Friday, September
II, at 900 o'clock for some plans of
the years work and the enrolment OF
students and the giving of book lists.
All students are asked to report Mt
10 100 o'clock on Friday, Sept IL, for
enrolment and classification. A GER
tain hour will be assigned for each
grade to purchase books on Friday and
we hope that parents will see. that
their children get their books at the
assigned time. We must do this in
order to handle the matter satisfac-
torily.
On account of the crowded condition
of the school we will not be able to
accommodate children under six years
of age unless they will attain school
age well before the end Of the school
year. We would suggest that children
be vaccinated against smallpox early
in the year. This matter has to be
attended to before the school year ad-
vances very far. We ask the hearty
cooperation of all friends and patrons
of the school in order that we may
have successful year.

THE GODS ALWAYS PLAY
 WITH LOADED DICE We received circular from a large clothing firm the other with the above quotation and the explanation that it was another way of saying that it is no use buckirg fate.
 The saying has been sticking in our mind since and a hall wonder whether or not it is true. Is our destiny shaped for us and our slightest move mapped out age befor we are born:
 Do we move as pieces on an enormous chess board, propelled by the unseen hands of Fale?
 We have met many fata is S, so called, and some Who really had faith in their convictions. Bu, it isn't pleasant thought that all our striving is in valn; tha, all our teachings and ideals are useless except in so far as they also are a decree of Fate. IL would be a rude jolt to the believers ot the doctrine:
 am the Captain of my fate,
 l am the Master of my soul.
 Most of us wish tO think that We are responsible for our posi-. tiOn when we have succeeded in life and wish to blame iton Luck, when We fail. But if our heading is true the successful mao $ d pawn of Fate just as the failure. And the gods continue @ rol! tiIe dice with the seven forever on top

There are many good ratlons for tur-

that late April and May matched

In all, Il appears to me that in far too

they who have their chicks coming OF

Whether to incubate the eggs on the
farm or to buy baby chicks must be
governed to no small extent by the
equipment on the farm, by the prices
OF eggs when compared with that OF
baby chicks, and by the breeding stock
available. In many cases, II viii be

chickens by culling. using high-class
males or keeping breeding pen. It
would be folly to send away for baby
chicks. I know there are thousands
Of dollars practically thrown away
each year In purchasing baby chicks
for the simple reason that the equip
ment at hand for caring for the chicks
Is not suitable, and the result IL a
good per cent OF the young chicks
never reach maturity. In other words,
the cost Of those raised is away out
