Corn, Wheat, Alfalfa and Clover Farms.

John O’Connor, agent for southeast Missouri farm land, has just received the following letter: - St. Louis, June 6, 1916. John O’Connor, Agent, , Rensselaer, Ind., Dear Sir: We are leaving tonight with nine buyers for southeast Missouri. We just thought we would write you and tell you that people are more active in buying southeast Missouri lands than ever before. The wheat crop has come out wonderfully in the last 30 days and southeast Missouri again will furnish a good crop of wheat. The corn is knee-high and the first cutting of alfalfa has been cut. The second one will be ready to cut in about two weeks. They will begin cutting wheat next week, so if you have any buyers, come on with them; we are sure we will make a sale. Yours truly, Rolwing-Mylet Investment Co. Any information wanted, write or call the undersigned. These conditions are regular every year there, and don’t forget this, no early frosts, no tiling, no fertilizer needed; no stone, and taxes there are $1.17 on the SIOO. Anyone wanting a home can’t beat it R. R. fare from Remington, $7.18 one way; round- trip $14.36. I can show you samples of soil and wheat from there. JOHN O’CONNOR.

While William Lee was delivering ice this morning at the home of Jade Tilton, the small daughter of the latter climbed into the wagon to get some small pieces of ice. As the little girl got down from the wagon she stepped out into the road directly in front of an automobile driven by Willis Lutz, and was knocked down. Mr. Lutz was driving slowly and the little girl did not receive any injuries.
