May 31, 1917 THE FULTON GAZETTE AFTER A CALLAWAY BANK GARDEN PRIZE. If J. E. Maughs, president of the Southern Bank, does not get the Callaway Bank's premium for gardening, it will not be because he is unsuccessful in growing vegetables. Mr.

Maughs probably is Fulton's most extensive private gardener. Besides ground of his ofvn, he is working a town lot just south of his house, and the garden spots of several of his neighbors. His peas are large enough to eat, he has potatoes almost the size of a hen egg, and his vines have small tomatoes on them. Mr. Maughs spends a good part of every afternoon working in his gardens and enjoys the work itself, as well as the fruits, of his labor.

He enrolled early as one of the contestants for the Callaway Bank prizes, and figures the money he will get as a prize will help to pay for some of the labor he has had to hire. Several other West Seventh street men are good gardeners, among them being J. L. Maughs, G. E.

Tutt, Howard Payne and C. A. Patton, but none of them is engaged in it on as large a scale as the Southern Bank president. From Logan Creek Vicinity. Ben Rocker was in Jefferson City Saturday on business.

Louis Tomek was a business visitor in St. Charles last week. Ollie Blackburn, who is in the United States navy, is at home visiting relatives here. Adolph Schmidt sold a bunch of fat hogs recently to John Vanderloecht for $15.35 a pound. Someone tampered with the United States mail box of A.

J. Cepicky, a few days ago, and destroyed a pair of glasses. The vandal left the ruined glasses about fifty feet away from the box. James Wyatt, of College Mound, has been employed to teach an eight-months' term of school in the Reform district next winter at $75 a month. He taught at College Mound last winter.

Shorthorns Averaged $176. Oscar Black, of this city, who attended a sale of Shorthorn cattle in Mexico, Tuesday, saw 40 of the 45 head sold, and says they brought an average of $176. The top price was $330 for a yearling heifer bred by S. P. Emmons.

None of the cattle came to Callaway. Mr. Black does not think the sale was as good as that held by Callaway breeders in this city the first of May. Attending Sick Brother. Mrs.

B. Frank James, of this city, is in Jefferson City attending a sick brother, James Harding, who is seriously ill in the Jefferson City hospital. She went to that place Tuesday.

Louis Monday from McCredie with 31 yearling heifers of his own feeding. They weighed about 700 pounds. John W. Creed, three-fourths of a mile northwest of Auxvasse, bought two loads of grass cattle one day last week from William Patterson, of near Hatton. The steers, which will weigh about 1.200 pounds, are to be weighed up to Mr.

Creed at his farm, near Hatton, on July 1, at cents per pound. John H. Turner, one and onehalf miles southeast of Auxvasse, delivered this week to Lee brothers, Mexico, a splendid draft horse, "Prince," for $235. Mr. Turner bought the horse several years ago from J.

C. Miller Sons. "Prince" was shown as a draft colt at several street fairs and was a premium winner. Corn and oat crops prospects in north Callaway are very promising. Some farmers are inclined to think the weather too wet, but the oats are spreading out and covering the ground, while corn is coming up well and is in good condition.

Gardens are pretty good and most things seem to point to an abundant harvest. A good flow of water was struck last week at a depth of 308 feet on the farm of W. Lee Davis, just east of Hereford, and a half hour test with a pump produced a flow of 16 gallons a minute and only lowered the water 25 feet in the well. Deep wells in that section usually have to go down about 500 feet to reach a good vein of water. Emmett Moore, of Hereford, has contracted two loads of fat cattle to J.

M. Dunn. C. H. Berry and W.

S. Vivion, all of McCredie vicinity, for 12 cents a pound, delivery to be made before June 25. The same gentlemen have a load of cattle bought from Oscar Black Son at $155 around. Logan Watts, of the firm of Watts brothers, of south Audrain county, who was in Auxvasse Monday afternoon, told that the brothers have plenty to do on the 1,200 acres of land they are farming. They have 140 acres of oats that look real well, and are cultivating over 400 acres of corn.

They are feeding about 30 hogs and grazing 60 cattle. To Cattle Sale. Dr. M. O.

Biggs, superintendent of the Fulton State Hospital, and W. R. Taylor, president of the board of managers of the institution, left Wednesday for Waukesha, to attend a sale of pure-bred Holstein cattle with a view to buying a couple of bulls and a number of heifers. Holsteins have been used at the hospital several years and have proven ideal milk cattle for the institution. Foundations for herds for other institutions also have been supplied by the hospital.

and only recently $1,200 worth of cattle were sold the state penitentiary. Steers Brought $12.65. Forty-two head of pound steers belonging to J. Ed. Moore.

of Guthrie, sold on Tuesday's St. Louis market a hundred. R. L. Smith Son, west of McCredie, had two loads of cattle on the market the same day that sold for $11.80, and Reed King, near Hatton, had one load that sold for $11.35.

"More than half of the registrars who are to serve in enrolling Callaway men under the army draft law next Tuesday have volunteered their services and will work without compensation," said J. L. Cole, chairman of the county board of registration, Wednesday, "and the board hopes the other registrars will serve the same way.

"It would be a fine thing for the Kingdom to send in her reports and not include a bill." Mr. Cole continued. "We ought to show our patriotism in this manner, and I am sure the county is going to do it. Some little county in the state is liable to get all its men enrolled without a fee being charged, and then we would feel small if a lot of bills should be sent in by our registrars." Arrangements have been made by the newspapers to secure lists for publication of the persons who register. Passed Examination.
