The men efwealth in every COM

sight, who could take surrounding
conditions aud resources and fore
cast the placeto be held by them in
coming ecounsnic aud industrial de-
velopment. slch were the men who
are now he:c6al kings, the oil kings.
the cattle kings, the pine kings and
the mineral Kings Of the country.
Such are the men whose financial
stars are in the ascendant in the
great zinc fields1of the Missouri-Kan-
sas-ArkaDsas region. Such are the
men who will rear fortunes up
on the wonderful. resources of this
region, including our own fair TAney,
richly endowed in 81 many natural re-
sources of wealth. Count them over:
Timber, stone, iron, agate, copper,
lead, zinc, to say nothing Of her clear,
fish-stocked streams, her pure, ambro-
sical water, her energising atmos-
phere which makes breathing a de-
light, and her admirable adaptability
to fruit-growing and stock-raising.
The basis of numerous fortunes is in
sight, awaiting the men Of energy and
foresight, some of whom are already
here aud more Of whom are coming
Other things being equal, the man
who is first in the swim has the best
opportunity to make his efforts and
investments count. We desire to
see many who have borne the heat
and the burden of the day as pioneers
In Taney county take advantage Of
this first, best chance. With rapidly
advancing manufactures, with COM
merce seeking out and entering
every market on earth, with the in-
creased use of zinc the world over
and the new uses to which it is being
applied, thereis a bright vista open
ing before US in which every live citi-
zen of Taney should play mans
part. The surest way to do this is to
"gct in on the grcuad noor," now
rapidly being occupied by men Of
means from the outside, SO that you
may enjoy proper share in tho new
sctivisy which is coming this way,
and which is destined to make of this
region one of the greatest wealth
producing spotaon ear.n.

of the notable ones in this country is
to be the progressive reclamation of
the arid regions of the west. by stor-
age and utilization Of the rainfall, and
the introduction Of vegetation suited
to the conditions of soil and climate
of the region. Agents Of the agri-
cultural bureau are even now ran
sacking every continent, under the

siastic worker, Secretary Wilson, in

THIS IS PROSPERITY.

In March, of the present year, the
American Protective Tariff League
made an industrial census to show, in
q measure, the gain in the number Of
men employed in various industries
and the increase in the amount Of
wages paid. This report shows that.
compared with March, 1895, there
was in the 1857 establishments re-
porting, a gain of "a, ,754 In the num-
Der Of hands employed, or a gain Of
1886 per cent for March, 1899, that
there was gain on the gross sum Of
wages paid Of $s,4e1,as5.6s this be-
ing 54.0s per cent more than ia
March, 1895; and that, while in March,
1895, the average rate of wages per
capita for the month was $8Ss86, the
average wage rate per capita in
March, 1899, had increased to $s6.S6,
being gain of 10.4s per cent. Had
tkis census been extended 80 az to in
clude the months Of April and May,
1899. the months in which the heaviest
aud most general advances in wages
occurred, the percentage Of Increase
in the per capita wage rate would
undoubtedly have been above IL per
cent.
Of course, if it had been possible
to cover the entire country, the totals
would have been far up in the mill
lions. Even as it is, aad restricted
as it had to be, the comparison is
startling. It shows that industrial
activity has taken the place Of the de-
preston and dullness Of the period
