              Gasconade County Republican. Number 19 OWKNSV1LLE, MISSOURI, FRIDAY, MARCH 2G, 191 ". Volume 10 "Corn Growing and Dairy Farming" The Farmers & Merchants Bank of Owens-ville has arranged for Hon. Philander P. Lewis, head of the State Agricultural Bureau, to speak on general farm topics with special reference to the above subject on SATURDAY9 April 3, at GAIL'S HALL Beginning at 1:30 p. m. Mr. Lewis is a banker but a practical farmer, perhaps the best farmer in the eastern part of the state. He is an unusually entertaining and instructive speaker, whose talk will not only interest every farmer but will do him good. The Farmers & Merchants Bank is working with, not against the farmers in this community, and we urge you to come, assuring you that Mr. Lewis' lecture is worth coming ten miles and more to hear. We are getting him here on our own initiative and at our expense, which is considerable, for your good. No admission charges, no collections, no string of any kind attached. We simply ask you to come. The meeting will be open to questions on any subject pertaining to farming. Remember the date, the place and the hour, and come out and hear a good heart to heart talk from a farmer by practice. Our Awful Streets Buying At Home In our issue of March 5 we pub lished on article entitled, "Talks Turkey to Turkey Man," riding the farmer pretty .hard for buying from mail order houses.

Mr. Maupin im'orms us that Mr. Danuser holds a certificate from a normal school. In reply to this statement we maintain that the holding of a normal diploma is not an unerring proof as to the Lest fitness for the office of Co. Superintendent.

Boston, Gerald .2'i From Hickman, Nebraska March 17, 1915. Gasconade County Republican, Owensville. Mo. Dear Editor and Friends: I will send you n few lines from Hickman if you have a little space in your columns. It has been three years now in March that we have been here and still like Nebraska very well. As a farming state I think it is pretty hard to beat. We had good crops the three years we have been here and I think we will have this year as wheat looks good ond we have plenty of moisture in the ground to make a crop. We had considerable snow, more than usual. The ground has been covered with snow ever since the 20th of December andthere is a good deal of snow yet. Some places there are snowdrifts so the roads are blockaded yet. The report from Lincoln was that we had from b to 0 of snow this winter, so that makes it a genuine old- fashined winter. The roads are In it wurnr nu ii- now man inej iiuve been all winter. There is no frost in the ground and the people have been haulinj; so mnny hogs to town and cut the roads up so bad that they are almost impassable. They all were waiting for a higher price but they don't go up very fast. They are U.30 now and have been that almost all winter.

We hop our friends will FRUIFST f! tnCTCD ""'""I IVU1LII,,,,,,, W "Men are April when thoy woo; December when they wed." Shakespeare. Our loyalty to our sex compels us to take issue with Bill. We do not believe the man lives who is so fickle as April or so realistic as December. Of course, both seasons and men may Jbave been different when William was chinning the girls some three hundred years ago, but his comparison is wholly out of plumb in these days of political strife and suffragettes. Men no longer woo. They are often wooed and sued : anil while these two accomplices sometimes burden them with household expenses or alimony, they rarely become so intimate with the Mrs., that she could swear as to their temperamental thermometer. So. envying Will the tranquility of his courtship days ' and the many April buds with whom he seems to have had ut least a speaking acquainance, we pass on to the month Literally: During April the sun is technically said to pass through Aries and Taurus, but the procession of the equinoxes makes him, the sun, really traverse portions of Pisces nnd Aries. All of which interest us about as much as will the European war after baseball gets started good. To us, the month of April brings no Billy thoughts of love; we turn a deafened ear upon the cooing of the dove; the microbe is not working now, and this is why, we wten: We fell for it some years ago, and now the house's to clean. We rip the carpets from the floor and li ing them on the line: at noon we squat upon the floor and from the floor we dine. At nlghr we sleep upon the stove, or in the cupboard there and dream of tables, chairs and things go dancing through the air. And then, when tins is over und a rest we fain would take, the Missus Introduces us to shovel, hoc and rake. The garden must not be delayed another sin gle day, for all the neighbors have theirs in at least that's what they soy. And so, with great humility through April we are led, but all the same it makes us sore to think 01 what Bill said. consider that enough has already been said. Our next issue Is the last before the election and it is not fair play to make charges or statements about candidates in the newspaper, which for any reason cannot be answered through the same medium. Our advice is to voi for the one you decide suits you best.
