The Federal authorities are still making plans for a real drive on the high cost of living, according to reports from Washington in yesterday's papers. It has been many months since the first drive was started but the net results' so far are not noticeable. True, the government is offering army stores for sale at some less than the usual prices but this has not affected the general price.

The reason is the general belief army stuff is inferior and besides it and southeast section and 14 in the CampaiKn lo Rai8e Fund8 for ame southwest where there is a near fail- ure in many localities, and 20 in the Begins Tomorrow, south central. Corn cutting and silo filling are nearly finished. Late corn o.t' the north third ripened fast early in September at the expense of yield. Oats vield 17 bushels per acre, total 30,259,000 bushels against 44,196,000 bushels last year. Quality 85 per cent agrees with ten-year average.

Spring wheat yielded 8 a bushels per acre with the low quality of 66 per cent, barley 30 bushels and 80 per cent quality: buckwheat 71 per cent condition. Flax seed yielded bushels per acre, better than recent years. Wheat seeding for 1919 is later than in recent years because of the drouth in August preventing plowing. Threshing very slo wand some labor deficiencies prevented plowing until after the late rains. Only about 25 per cent of the expected acreage of wheat was sown on October 1st, with the largest amount in northeast and central sections and a much smaller in the southern third.

Indications now are for a seeding of 80 per cent of last year, or 3,394,000 acres, against acres of 1918 with final returns possibly a million less. The uncertainty of conditions and farm labor together with a desire to return to former cropping systems causes farmers to seed less or cut out the crop altogether.

Congress has done nothing though it has been several months since the President'urged the House and Senate to enact certain laws that he believed were needed. The senators prefer to talk about "Shantung" which the people care very little about. -o Some twenty years ago we were in the throes of making a treaty with Spain to conclude the Spanish-American war and what to do with the Philippines was the great question that disturbed us. The Philippine Islands, away on the other side of the Globe that scarcely anybody heard about, fell to our possession in the war and we didn't know what to do with them. The treaty provided for the purchase of the Philippines and that provision held it up for a long time.

The Democrats of the Senate opposed it but the treaty jwas "finally one more than the necessary two-thirds. Some people believed then that it was the beginning of the end of free America but we have seen do dire consequences. Some people are now getting excited over Shantung and some other things in peace are of no greater importance. It was politics that stirred up the country over the Philippines and it is politics now that is raising a fuss over Shantung. B.

An organization has been effected in practically every county in the State and the work of soliciting for this worthy object is expected to be prosecuted with vigor from now until the close of the period iset apart for the campaign. It is the intention of those in charge of the campaign to hold a memorial meeting in honor of the deceased statesman on the last day of the campaign (the 27th), in every school district in the state, wherever possible. An opportunity will be given everyone to contribute to the memorial fund, but no effort will be made tto persuade anyone to give against his wishes, as the friends of Roosevelt want only free-will offerings, that come from the heart of thoise who love and revere the memory of the man who above all others of the present day stood for loyalty, patriotism and the highest aims and principles of American man- 1TT- TiTT JL .4, hf nw sec 8, se sw and sw se and part hf nw se, 5-24-30; $14,400.

It is generally conceded that the live stock shown at the Harvest Show in Neosho last week was the finest ever seen in Newton county. The rain interfered with the show to some extent but there was as large a crowd in Neosho last Thursday as ever seen on the streets one time before. Several new industries are looking for locations in Neosho and we may bfi able Jtq tell you in the near future that they have located here. TheTAd- vertising Men's Club is looking after them and if there is any chance at all of secuigrn these new factories for Neosho they will be invited to come; The regular October, term of circuit court began Monday with Circuit Judge Henson presiding and with F. as stenographer.

Logan and Jewell Mayes of the U. S. Bureau of Crop Estimates and State Board of Agriculture, now bushels, which is 27,999,000 bushels more than the 1918 crop. In Newton county the condition of corn is 52 per cent, prospective yield per acre 17 bushels, 90 per cent fully matured and 10 days after October 1st required to mature late crop. Oats yield per acre 26 bushels and quality 80 per cent.

Yield of potatoes 50 bushels per acre; condition of apples 70 per cent; pastures 52 per cent and 15 per cent of fall wheat sown. Missouri corn condition is 73 per cent against 70 last month and a ten- year average of 67 per cent, indicating 27.7 bushels per acre. Fully 80 per cent is mature and safe from frost. Cribbing can begin earlier than usual. Up to time of issuing Jefferson City, Gardner has called attention of the State Highway Commission to the fact that in his trip through the State he has observed that at road crossings there is no marker to direct the traveler.

In looking this matter up he finds that Section 65 of the road law provides that this shall be done and also prp- nooil, and in whose veins there was not a drop of blood that was not 100 per cent pure American. The State Chairman has appointed the following named gentlemen to have charge of the campaign in Newton county: E. Curtice, Neosho H. Keller, Neosho Chairman of M.

The felonious assault case against Ed. Fondell from Shoal creek township was being tried yesterday. Two murder cases are on the docket for this week. The John Cole case was set for yesterday and it is rumored that it will be continued because of the absence of a leading case of Frank and Floyd Davis also set for yesterday and it was said they had not appeared for trial. If a man were as dissatisfied with himself as he is with other folks, he wbud soon be wealthy.

port no frost damage has occui'red to the late com and another week will see practically all the crop matured racept in the southeast and scattering fields in other sections. Farmers estimate it will take 14 days from October 1st to mature the late corn with southeast Missouri requiring about 18. vfites a "penalty for its violation. The highway commission will notify all road overseers that Section 65 be complied with. It takes lots of time for travelers to be compelled to stop at road sides and inquire their way when finger boards at cross roads could easily and properly direct them.

"Section Every overseer shall erect and maintain at every road fork or road crossing in his district that would likely mislead, a finger board containing a legible description directing the way and noting the distance to the next important place on the road, for which he may be allowed not to exceed one dollar, to be paid out of the road funds of the district." The penalty clause covering the bill in which thie section is found makes a failure to comply with section 65 a misdemeanor and fixes the fine at not less than $5.00 or more than $500.
