shipping values last year of 1925, 1855. a
considerable sum. The total value Of all
the fruits and vegetables placed on rail-
road markets was $1,673,1O5.
Nearly tie total value of mineral prod
ucts may be ascertained by the ship
ments. In connection with the recent
developments in the Southwestern dis
trict, the value of the shipments becomes
of especial interest. Six of the chief
minerals-coal, lead, zinc, iron, pig lead
and granfte-had value Of 500, 7Ss, $50.
Three Of these minerals-coal, lead and
zinc-had d value of $14019.727, nearly
equal to the value Of all shipped farm
crops. which was SD, 3d. 9S.
Some Of the comparisons were hardly
to be expected. In considering the value
Of stock shipments, the fact should be
remembered that much Of the annual
crops is devoted to feeding on the farm.
SO that, as matter of fact, the Ship
ments Of cattle, hogs, etc, represent con-
sumption Of corn, hay and oats. That
Missouri farmers appreciate the inn
portance Of converting corn into meat is
significantly indicative of the substan-
tial basis upon which the States pros
perity is based.

MAKE IT UNANIMOUS.

Local Union No. Of the International
typographical Union should find it a
reasonably easy task to induce the dele.
gates to the annual convention of the
organization, which is to be held at
Birmingham, Ala, the second week in
August, to decide In favor OF st. Louis
rs the place for the convention Of 1903.
It would. indeed. seem An unaccount-
able oversight should American typog-
rapbers hold their annual convention
elsewhere than in st. Louis during the
Worlds Fair year.
That will be a time when a tremend-
Gus educational benefit to all Of the
printing craft will attend visit to St
Louis. In no line Of human endeavor
llas there been more splendid progress
than in the uplifting and enlightening
craft Of printing. In none will there be a
finer, more complete and more marvel
GUS showing Of progress made at the
Worlds Fair.
BY all means the annual convention Of
the International Typographical Union
in 1903 should be held in st. Louis.
There ought to be a unanimous vote to
this effect in the convention Of 1901.
It is ip order for Local Union No. to
resolve upon just such an achievement
In behalf Of st. Louis, its own and the
Worlds Fair city.

A MATTER on HEALTH


Health Commissioner Starkloff has
followed up his recommendation that
the Office OF Milk Inspector, as at pres
ent conducted, be abolished. He has
furnished the draft of an ordinance on
the subject. Mr.. Gibson introduced the
measure in the City Council at the last
meeting.
In view Of the practical failure Of the
present ordinance. diligent attention
should be paid to the features Of the
Health Commissioner bill. He has
pointed out in interviews and confer
cnccs the defects Of the law. He has
asked that the Office be placed under the
Jurisdiction Of the Health Department,
a request that seems perfectly proper.
Supervision Of public health should he
concentrated.
There is small doubt that the quality
OF milk furnished by certain dairymen
Of st. Louis is deteriorating. A small
