The Association is going to coO; Juct a Sales Department for tne iroembers of the Association, which will assist them 1 1 opposing of sur plus stock and Hgi This feature alone should b . .rent indui ement to every poultry (. ,!er of Missouri 4o join the"aps.-;j ;on, and this is only one of ih many things the As sociation will da to upbuild our 'great poultry industry. A tnark hhs hee.i sot for a mem bership of 5.00.' active members by January 1, 1920. The membership lee is only 50 cent per year and no one in Missouri interested in Poultry can efford not to I elnng. The Rockw 11 Review tells of three young men and their dogs who went wolf bunting. They found the wolves, but directly af ter that a pack of wolves was hunt iog three young men and their dogs. for the wolves showed fight and the hunters legged it back to town. The Review says that chickens, ducks and gce:-e are not safe 200 yards from a farm house in that neigh borhood It costs $10 a year to be a bach elor in Canada, but it costs a heap more than th&t to be a married man. Good Roads Campaign Good roads in Missouri suffered a distanct loss when Col. Frank Buf fum was no longer at the head of the Missouri State Highway Board No one ever brought to this office such aggressive interest and action Col. Buffum not only knows the construction of good roads: he em inently realizes that they are the greatest commercial asset a state or community can have. So interest ed was he in good highways in this section of the State that at one time he offered to give gravel free to people of this community, they to pay carriage, if it would be used in the construction of good roads. Some few availed themselves of the opportunity of road repair. But the highways out of Vaudalia are stiil in an unreinforced condition, fine in good weather, but practically im passable at certain seasons and only saved by the drag. The American soldier with bis first hand know ledge of good road3 as they contri buted to the expeditious movement of troops and supplies, will come home with a new vision, that is go ing to have a tremendous effect on roadways all over the United States. Vandalia Leader A young woman named Stella Tolland, dressed in boys' clothes was arrested in Kansas City the other day at her own request. She says she is hunting for her husband whom she accuses of deserting her and avers that when she meets him she is going to kiss him, and then "bust him in the nose." One of the best things that could possibly happen in Missouri would be to vote $60,000,000 bond issue for good roads. Every county in the state would profit by that bond issue. Illinois will spend a billion dollars on her roads Complete Satisfaction Cannot Be Bought For Less To pay less is to risk the loss or efficiency, comfort, modernized improvements, beauty of design or long lived service, .'..

He saw swollen prices, billoLS of in flated currenency, heavy taxes, mil lions of soldiers looking for jobs when war's enormous demands for g.cds bad ceased; strikes, turmoil, idle munition plants. He believed that looking back over war's vast senseless destruction - men would feel a profound disillusionment. Times would be bad. : Within a week,' as it happened, another business man, as able and of as great reputation as the first, gave his views of after-war condi tions. He saw a far more abundant supply of money for industrial ex pansion tban before, war financing having disclosed unknown possibili ties in that direction. ' He saw in dustry, thanks to war, much better organized than ever before; an ample labor supply and a better equipment tban ever " before . for maintaining the stable relations be tween capitol and labor. Taxes would be high, but production would be greater, giving a bigger fund to pay taxes out. of. . Recon struction and deferred improve ments would create tremendous de mands for materials and labor. Manufacturers and merchants would have a new idea of the world's buyer. Plans that would have look ed too big in 1914 would look small after the war. Coming of peace after this war nightmare would stimulate men, and as they looked on the tremendous things accomp lished since 1914 they would look to the future with higher hope and greater confidence than ever before. Times would be good. Both of these men one an Eng lishman, and the the other .an American were equally right II we look at it in the fit way times will be bad. If we look at it in the second way times will be good What business conditions an.- after the war will depnd first of all upon the state of our minds. If we keep our courage, our. punch, our common sense, try hard to harmonize our difference and pull together, we shall have good times.

Attorneys for Estate The Regular Army One of the prohleias no, co ning up beLre Cxur-:- i t:;e question of rec.msiituiinj the K- jii'r Army. The American people dislii: mili tarism, bjt an nrmv somewhat larger tnan its strength before the war will be euer-.illy ilpsired. The country will nevvr ('rift men to serve in pe ice times. Ir is then a question of makin4 service popular, so there will be enough voluntary enlistmen Even for the relatively small army as it existed before the war it was hard to get tueu enough Ev ery post office in the tountrv was placarded with posters urging men to enlist, and dwelling on tha com forts and pleasures of army life. The pay of $1500 a month tiven a private at the beginning of his ser vice was not attractive Of course this pay was better tli jo it looked A man was provided with about everything he needed. The $15.00 was practically for spending money. Now the lowest rate of pay is $3000 a month, with increases every three or four years, and final retirement in SO years with three quarters pay and some allowances A fellow who goes through the 30 years will be better off than many others that have earned very much more. But whether enough men can see it is a question. The pay will have to be made enough to get the men. It is reported from the cantonments that a good many' drafted soldiers would be willing to stay on as regulars. The life does look attractive to men of a certain type. Itehould be made as plea sant as possible, with all the home comforts that can be supplied. Uncle Sara is going to want a sizable army for the troublous and uncertain days now ahead. A good class of men is wanted, who will bear themselves with dignity worthy of their government, and keep up American repute wherever they are sent. .
