Dairying Brings Wealth to County Warren County is richer yearly because of the soil fertilit.v produced as a by-product of dairy according to the Blue Valle Circuit Court Proceedings. The regular January term of the County Circuit Court was eld this week with Judge Gantt, of Mexico, presiding. The proceedings as follows: State of Missouri vs Anton Karl, Parole, Proof of good conduct nade and continued. State of Missouri McCann, 'arole. Proof of good conduct made md continued.

State of Missouri vs Pearl Dand-idge. Parole. Proof of good conduct lade and continued. State of Missouri vs Earl Burgess. Proof of good conduct made Legislature Houois Banner Editor.

In the absence of the editor, we can take just a bit of space for an item concerning him, and in which we are sure our readers will be greatly interested, In the. organization of the General Assembly of Missouri at Jefferson City last week, he was honored with the position of Speaker Pro Tern, the second -highest honor to be conferred by that body. Mr. Winter made the race for the Speakership against Jones H. Parker of Si Louis, who has served in the Legislature for twenty years, and has many friends in every part of the state.

The editor succeeded in making his campaign so strong that he was honored with the second place, while the Speakership went to the veteran legislator, Mr. Parker. Sam A. Baker Missouri's Governor. Sam A Baker, who rose from" a wood cutter and a section hand to the highest position in the gift of the people of Missouri, was inaugurated in the hall of the House of Representatives in the state capitol as the thirty-seventh governor of Missouri Monday at noon.

The oath of office was administered by chief justice W. W. Graves before members of the General Assembly, Judges of the Supreme Court, State officers and crowded galleries. Mr. Baker held his hand on the warm bible of his mother as he repeated the words of the oath after Judge Graves.

Mr. Baker is a native Missourian and the fourth Republican to hold this position. The hall was profusely decorated with American flags, bunting and tropical plants, and. made a fitting setting for the ceremonies of inaugurating a governor. Hiram Lloyd, retiring Lieutenant Governor, presided.

Mr. Baker was conducted to the Speaker's chair by Governor The Grand Jury was in session several days this week. Following is their report: To the Honorable Circuit Court: We, the Grand Jury, composed ot Fred Stuecken, George Kamper, Leu-ley Kent, Henry Huelsman, George Turner, John Eichholz, Ed. Land-wehr, Robert Aston, William Dot-hage, Frits Niemeyer, Edward Lup-pold and John Garrett, empaneled for the January Term 1925 of the Circuit Court of Warren County Missouri, do hereby respectfully submit this as and for our report In obedience to the law and under the instruction of the court, we have endeavored to faithfully perform the duties devolved upon us under our oaths. We have made investigations of the various violation of the law known to our body and such a witb suuuuuea us lor our investigation.

We have found three true bills. In order to expediate our business wo divided our Grand Jury into two committees, one of which investigated the County property at the County seat, and the offices of the various County Officers, and the other Committee visited the County Farm. The Committee which visited the County Farm wa? composed of John Garrett, Chairman, Henry Robert Aston, Fritz Niemoyer una jonn cicnnoiz. Our Committee which visited the County Farm report that we find four inmates in Baid institution, and from inquiry we have made of them, wo infer that they are receiving proper care and attention. We find that (he buildings at the bounty Farm need paint very -badly, and other improvements should be made.

We also believe that the Farm could be handled more systematically by changing tie methods of farming, that is instead of growing wheat for market to put more of the land in grass, oats and corn and raise more live stock, such as horn and cattle. We further recommend that the County Court go out and examine the farm as to general investments and requirements. The buildings as a whole at the County seat are in good condition except the Jail, there we find the porch on the East side needs rennir- ing, and all the porches need painting. That three rooms need paper; -ing and glasses in doors and windows need repairing. We further recommend that iJH becomes pecea-' sary to repair the present heating system, which at present does not give the best of satisfaction, that the County Court consider plans and cost of one separate heating system ior me tnree buildings.

Such system we believe would heat nil thA hniin. ings properly and be more economical to the County. Respectfully submitted, G. B. Turner, Foreman Grand Jury, ii.

numper, secretary. Half Million Autos. Missourians at the close of 1924 own approximately 546,000 motor vehicles, according to O. G. Steininger, commissioner of motor vehicles un der Secretary of State Becker.

This is an increase of nearly 70,000 over the number of cars and trucks registered in 1923. The State registration shows that there are about passenger autos and 52,000 trucks. There has been collected by the secretary of state's office this year approximately $4,518,000 on automobile licenses. This exceeds last year's grand total by about $508,000. It is estimated that next year the proceeds from auto licenses will exceed $7,000,000, because of the 50 per cent increase in auto licenses voted on November 4.

Central Wesleyan College basket ball team clayed its second came of the season on Saturday evening, January 10, when Coach Collard's quintet met the Principia team. At the close of the first half of the game the score was 2 to 0 in favor of Central Wesleyan and at the close of the third quarter our boys were still leading by a score of 6 to 8.

are 1 1 "0 r- mt 3 nafact" ml creamery Institute. The, figure it basdd on data resulting from mahj carefully kept records on a consider ibid number of farms. The average quantity of manure recovered for use on crop lands in the area studied was 7.4 tons per cow and since the fertilizing value of a ton bf manure is $2.60 the by-product of each cow is approximately twenty dollars. The application of this figure to the 4,000 dairy cattle in this county brings the total value to the soil' fertility here to the almost un believable figure given above, In keeping with its better feeding program the Institute estimates that from 25 to 50 greater profit from each ton of feed can be made by local iarmers who milk cows through improved feeding methods, alone. was demonstrated, it states, by the experiment recently concluded by the University of Mm nesita.

The school's dairy division about a year ago purchased four avefage cows with available records but without a scientific ration and by merely placing them on a homegrown ration suitable to their needs, increased each cow's production almost forty per cent. Telephone Company to Lay Cable. Otto Eisenstein, owner of the War renton Telephone Company, is planning a most valuable improvement in his system by laying and erecting one; and one-half miles of cable. This amount of cable will contain about 500,000 feet of wire, and the expenditure for this improvement will be about $4,000. In the downtown section the cable will bo laid underground, thus doing away with many of the unsightly poles and wires, and at the same Unite making his future service absolutely safe from storms of every kind.

During the past four years theHelcphonc system has suffered heavy losses several times by ice and also wind storms and the cabies are insured against such losses. Mr. Eisenstein has given our city the best of telephone service, and this commendable improvement will further greatly improve the service, He- is to be commended for this for ward stride. John F.
