Announcement
We are authorized to announce W.

school meeting, April, 1915.
"The time has come when Missouri
is practically dominated by the po
litical conditions in our two great
cities. The election bosses in these
cities throw the weight of their in
fluence in a certain way, and so the
state goes. These men know no po
litical principle pelf and spoils are
their political gods. The country pre
cincts have nothing in common with
these city bosses. While we cast our
votes for principles represented in
the best men, the cities nullify our
votes and deride our so-called prin
ciples. The press of the state is prac
tically unanimous for election reform,
but the solid phalanx of boss-elected
city members in this legislature are
being permitted to stand in the way.
If our country representatives come
home without having acted, they will
certainly be called upon to explain!
why ? Warrensburg Star-Journal.
"I don't know whether the worst is
over or not;" said Dan Dryer this
morning. . "I have lived in Kansas
twenty-seven years, and long ago

day no one in Kansas will predict
the weather but a newcomer, or a

WARRENSBURG STATE
NORMAL SCHOOL IS
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Loss Estimated at Half Million Dol
lars School Will Be Continued
In Temporary Quarters
Warrensburg, March 6. The War
rensburg state normal school here
was destroyed by lire early today. All
buildings except the Dockery gymna
sium and th manual arts building
were burned. The loss is estimated
at half a million dollars.
With the exception of the Univer
sity of Missouri, the Warrensburg
state normal school was the largest
of the state educational institutions,
having 2,000 students enrolled. The
main building was erected in 1871
and from time to time additional
buildings have been constructed,- the
latest being the Dockery gymnasium,
which was not destroyed in the fire.
It was erected in 1905.
The flames, which were discovered
first in the laboratory of the science
hall, fanned by a stiff breeze, quickly
swept through the administration
building and into the auditorium and
the domestic arts building. The man
ual arts building and the Dockery
gymnasium, which were apart from
the remainder of the buildings, were
saved.
The destroyed buldings were erect
ed at a cost of $300,000 to the state,
while the value of the equipment was
estimated at $200,000 more. In addi
tion most of the-instructors lost per
sonal effects and valuable work.
Pleas for aid in fighting "the fire
were sent to Kansas City and Sedalia,
but the local department, assisted by
citizens, obtained control over the
blaze before they responded.
A BIRTHDAY SURPRISE
John M. Pruitt was given a birth
day surprise at his home on Central
avenue Saturday night. Members of

vival meeting and Mr. Pruitt was in
duced to go from there to town with
some friends. On returning home he
found the assembly waiting to greet
him and was pleasantly surprised.
The time was spent until a late hour
in playing games and a general good
time.
Those attending were Messrs. and
Mesdames S. A. McLain, G. W. Pow
ers, Leo Leckie, E. S. Wilson, J. J.
Pendergrass, George Wilson, R. B.

GREAT COW
A simple-hearted man who has
tasted but few of the drinks of the
world took dinner with a high-toned
family, where a glass of milk punch
was quietly set down by each plate.
In silence and happiness the "guest
quaffed his goblet, and then added:
"Madam, you should daily give
thanks for such a good cow." Pitts

COAL BINS EMPTY
The continued cold weather has
caught a great number of our house

order to keep the stoves going our

that today, Monday, he had eight
teams delivering fuel in order to sup'
ply the demand.
Mrs. R .B. Rudy will return to her
home at Neosho tonight. She has
been attending her sister, Mrs. Laura
Leckie. Her other sister, Mrs, Harry

JEFFERSON CITY NEWS LETTER
Comments on Legislative Action By
The Times Special Correspondent
The emasculation of the Public Ser
vice Commission bill, the engrossment
by the House of the Gardner Land
Bank bill, the alliance between some
eigubccu uuiLiug Aujnvnato aiiu
solid Republican minority into an im
pregnable filibuster and two more de
cisive demonstrations by the farmers
that they are in the majority were
the highlights of the week.
The House gave the better part of
two days to the Public Service Com
mission bill before killing it. Of course
the bill was engrossed but it might
as well have been killed because the
one purpose it was designed to serve, .
namely relief for the railroads, was
defeated. Representative Damron of
Iron County introduced the amend
ment which emasculated the bill. It
required the Public Service Commis
sion to make a thorough inventory of
railroad properties before allowing an '
advance in passenger rates.
'The pardner Land Bank bill was
engrossed by the House by the big
gest roll-call majbrity of the session
131 to 10. Representative Simpson
of Lewis county was in charge of the
measure. He explained it had been
written by Col. Frederick D. Gardner,
of St. Louis, who, in its preparation,
had gone abroad to study rural credits
plans in other countries and had con
ferred or corresponded with practi
cally all the world's authorities on
this subject. Mr. Simpson said he re
garded the bill as "the most construc
tive piece of legislation ever present
ed to the Assembly ,in Missouri's his
tory." He said the press, city and
country, was practically unanimous
in supporting the measure.
It was also brought out how far be
hind the times the United States is
in its business provisions for the far
mers as compared . with other coun
tries. It seems that obscure, little
nations which could be tucked away
in some of our Missouri counties are
a century ahead of us in agricultural
finance. By that is meant that those
countries have organized land banks,
or devised financial, machinery the
term used is immaterial by which
farmers get long-time loans at low
rates of interest.
The Dairy bill engrossed by the
Senate last week,, was engrossed by
the House this week practically as
drafted. The House measure retains
the provision requiring public eating
places that serve oleomargarine to
post that fact in conspicuous placards ,
The Senate cut that out. .
Notice of Final Settlement .
All r-rorlifnrH nrl nt.liArs interested
in the Estate of Robert M. Cairns, de

signed Administratrix of said Estate,
intends to make a final settlement of
said Estate at the next term of the
Probate Court of Barry County, to be
holden at Cassville in said County, on
the 10th day of May, 1915.
