Suggests a Town Factory Fund

All the towns that are wide awake in
this part of the country are realizing
that it is factories, work and payrolls
that make growth. All are studying
how to get more factories and a Sc
dalia, Mo-, man makes good sug-
ges:ion to the Democrat which might
prove feasible here. II is in part as
follows;
81 want to suggest plan to work
on. Let us organize the Sedalia
Factory company, with capital stock
of 800, 900, the same to be be SUBJ
scribe for in such a manner that sub
sciptious will be bankable paper, 10
per cent of all subscriptions to be
paid in to the treasurer when 500, 900
is subscribed.
When u factory proposition is pre-
sented to the company and is APP
proved by the board of directors, then
let an assessment of the amount neC-
essary to secure said factory be made,
the same not to exceed % per cent of
the 800, 600.
Let it also'be arranged that not more
than this % per cent can be called for
during any three months. In all
cases let the stock subscribed for the
property of the Sedalia Factory COM
pany, and any profits resulting from
the investment go to the same, The
details of some such plan can be easily
worked out.
When plan is perfected and it is
announced to the world that Sedalia
has 500, 900 ready to invest in facto-
ries, the advertisement resulting from
the announcement will be worth sew
eral thousand dollars, and will put us
in touch with people who mean busi-
ness. We should be careful to let it
be known that we are not looking for
bonus seekers, but want concerns that
will bear the strictest investigation,
and to whom an additional amount
CT capital is desirable.

Kindly WAYS of n KING.

In Denmark many odd little stories
are told of King Christian and his
kindly ways, above all of the friendly
interest he takes in the doings of his
subjects. Until within quite recent
days, when his strength has begun tc
fail him, he used to spend much of his
time in Copenhagen walking about the
streets; and nothing pleased him better
than to stop and have chat with any
workman he CHANGED to encounter
Whenever any Dane makes his mark
in the world, no matter what his sta.
ton in life may be or what his views
the king always sends for him, at the
first opportunity, that he may know
what he is like and have talk with
aim. Little wonder that he under
stands his people or that they under
stapd him!

The Use of Stamps.

When stamp is placed on letter
1t represents one of sixty made for each
man, woman and child in the United
States. Enough stamps will be issued
this year to supply each individual in
the United States with at least sixty
stamps each. DiStri buted among the
population OF the entire globe, they
supply each person with postage for
not less than three letters. Placed
side by side in a continuous line the
total issue would girdle the entire
earth three times, forming a variegat-
ed ribbon around it nearly three inches
in width. If spread out in the same
manner across the United States, the
stamps would form a paper sidewalk
from New York to San Francisco over
three feet wide. Pasted into a stamp
collectors book of the conventional
size, the issue for the year would half
fill 100000 volumes, which placed one
upon another would form a solid col
umn over twenty-five miles high If
1t is true, as Edward Everett Hale
says, that the United States postal sys-

tors, these figures will serve to show

George Dixon. Po.itIop.

Recent reports say that arrange
ments are being made to take George
Dixon, the ex-featherweight champion
Of the world, to England, and match
him against either Jack Roberts, VIII
Curly or Kid Broad. There was
time not very long ago when state
ment of this kind would arouse
vast amount of interest among the
followers of the fstic game, as Dixon
was then thought to be unbeatable.
But now things have changed, and
Dixon's recent performances have
plainly demonstrated that he is en-
tirefy outclassed by the younger and
more progressive pugilists. OF course,
Dixon may have some chance to de-
teat Roberts and Curley, and may be
able to gather in few of the English
shillings, but # his manager is wise
he will steer clear of Kid Broad and
save the one-time world beaten
thorough trouncing. DiXon's day is
over. but he needs money, and the
only way he can get it is to stick to
second-raters. His statement that he
will challenge McGovern or Corbett if
he is successful on the other side
is no doubt prompted by what he has
done in the past, but the little choco-
star has set and is merely looking for
a chance to regain some of his lost
prestige.
