~ Mike CLOVER Dead ~
Mike CLOVER, a farmer of lower Belews Creek died last
Sunday. He had been ill some time and shortly before his death, he asked his
family to retire from the room and informed Dr. L. F. PARKER, his
attending physician, that he had been poisoned and
would die. Fred HEIDBRINK was present and heard the statement made. CLOVER died
as he said he would and while Dr. PARKER was almost certain that there was only
delirium in his statement, the fact that his patient believed it, so preyed
upon his mind that he could not suffer the funeral to go on without examination into the facts. The Coroner being absent at the time Judge J. P. MILLER and Robt. E. KLEINSCHMIDT, Prosecuting Attorney started
out to hold the inquest. In the meantime Dr. LUCKEY had been summoned and Dr.
FALLOTT the Coroner arrived before the investigation began. A jury was
empanelled and found that Mr. Clover came to his death from natural causes, but
recommended an autopsy. The Doctors PARKER, LUCKEY, and FALLETT held the
autopsy and from all appearances indorsed the jury’s finding. In order that
there might not remain any trace or vestige of suspicion, the stomach was
removed and sent to

Term to DeSoto
The Editor has just returned from Jefferson City where he was present attending
a meeting of the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives to whom
was referred House Bill No. 582.
House Bill 582 is a bill introduced by G. A. AUERSWALD, the pretended
representative of Jefferson County, who diligently concealed the introduction
of the bill until he was informed of the fact, that Hillsboro was aware of the
introduction and then he notified the Editor of this paper of the date for a
hearing before the committee, which would perhaps never have been granted had
we not have already asked for and secured it. The bill proposes to take the

~ Gold Medal Contest ~
R. B. WILSON, Supt. of Schools, Hillsboro, Missouri
Dear Sir: - -
In donating the “Reppy Medal” for oralital
work for graduates of the 8th grade schools or pupils of lesser grade in the
county schools under your supervision, my purpose is that all shall have an
equal chance. It has been brought to my attention that pupils of 8th grade
schools in towns frequently are able to secure and do secure training from
elocutionary teachers. I, hereby attach the following conditions for entrants
in the contest. Pupils competing must declare on their honor
to the judges of the contest before competing that they have not been trained
by elocutionary teachers, other than the regular teachers of their own schools
and have not received any other help than that given them by the members of
their immediate family. I have not consulted Judge DUNNIGAN who gives the
silver medal, but I am sure the judge will agree to these conditions as he is
very much in sympathy with our country schools.
Very respectfully yours,
John H. REPPY.
~ Mark Winter Layers ~
Mark the laying hen. Any hen can lay in the spring but
the one which lays through the winter when eggs are high is the one which
deserves recognition by promotion to the breeding flock. H. L. KEMPSTER of the
Missouri College of Agriculture says that everything is to be gained and
nothing lost by selecting breeding hens during the winter. It is easy to select
the laying hen. Her comb is bright and red and her pin bones will be spread
apart. Hens meeting these qualifications should be set apart with a good,
vigorous male bird. It is folly to breed from the entire flock. By selecting a
few of the Where no selection is practiced, the poor producers will be used for
breeding, for even loafers will lay in the spring. It
is also a mistake to breed from the immature and undersized stock. Over-fat,
coarse-boned hens or those which crop behind should never be put in the
breeding pen. The best place for them is on the table. Pick out the good birds
and note the improvement. Use fewer males as that you can afford better stock.

~ A Farm Agent Will Be Good Investment ~
U. S. Government and State University Will Pay Part of Expenses,
Association Should be Organized.
I will give some statistics regarding
There are 2720 farms in the county of which 2107 are operated by the owners,
597 farms are operated by renters and 16 farms by hired managers.
The statistics as above show that 77 per cent of all
Most of the readers are probably aware of the fact that a good many farms in
I give the above statistics to show how easy it will be for us to get a farm
agent, provided we make up our minds to employ him. It will be necessary for us
to form a Farm Bureau. This will be an Association of farmers all over the
County. It would be desirable to have every farmer become a member of this farm
bureau, but it is necessary to have about 500 members.
To become a member of the County Farm Bureau the farmer signs a paper on which
he promises to pay $1.00 per year for three years. This membership money is not
intended to be used for the salary of the Farm Agent, but is intended to be
used for such expenses as hall rent, bringing speakers to the meetings and
other incidentals.
The expense of keeping a farm agent will amount to about $1.00 per farm per
year paid as follows: The United States will pay $300.00 per year and give free
use of the mail service for the Agents official business. The
by the County.
The first work to form a Farm Bureau would be for the farmers of every
community to come together and talk matters up and decide that they wish to
employ a farm agent. Then a meeting should be called at some accessible place
in the county at which one or more farmers from every
community should be present. Before this meeting is called somebody should
be notified that these communities are going to be represented by one or more
farmers so we are sure that a representative meeting is to be had.
Now we address a letter to the County Agent Leader, Agricultural Extension
service,
This article is written to give an outline of what our Governments will do for
us to get a farm agent and what we will have to do to get him. In another
article I will say what the Farm Agents are doing for other counties and what
we may expect him to do for us. If those who are willing to work for the Farm
Bureau to get organized would make this known, it would help matters very much,
as there is a good deal of work to be done to get started.

~ News Comment And Editorial ~
The people of this county are at present being taxed sufficiently. The “High
cost of living” adds to our woes. Now comes Dr. G. A. AUERSWALD of
Yesterday’s
valuation and will add about ten thousand dollars to the County revenue funds.
With a road and bridge tax of twenty-five cents on the one hundred valuations
and the saloon tax, the revenues for road purposes would exceed $35,000 per
year which would accomplish much. But, alas and slack, the special road
districts get over half of this and the whole county gets the balance. The
special road districts ought to be abolished.
