It is the opinion of A. L. Ellis,
of Jefferson City, who is engaged
in bringing land buyers to Mis-
souri, from other states. that the
immigration to this state in
the past four years was something
over 10000. THE majority of
people who are moving to Missouri
for homes," said Mr.. Ellis in
Kansas City last Thursday, rare
Iowa farmers. In Iowa, he says
that land of the fertile prairie kind
is worth from 500 to 1922 per
acre. In Missouri, land of the
same variety can be bought for
from $25 to $40 per acre. The
Iowa farmers therefore find profit
and just as good a farm by selling
out and coming to Missouri. There
is always living on a farm but
the average farmer makes his
wealth in the increase in value of
his land" said Mr.. Ellis. Take
the Iowa farmer. He has a mort
gage on his farm. The Illinois
land is worth morethan that of To-
wa. The Illinois farmer sells out and
buys the Iowa land. The Iowa far
mer pays his debts, buys a Mis-
souri, farm and has some money
left. He is then in better posi-
tion to get rich, as his Missouri
land will increase in value and he
has no debts. Sometimes the Illi-
nois farmer buys Missouri land.
Missouri farm property is steadily
increasing in value" Mr.. ELLIS
says that within the past few years
many farmers from Minnesota and
the Dakotas and other northern
states have moved to Missouri and
the southwest and others are con-
tinuing, They want good land in
warmer climate, "said Mr.. Ellis.
Therefore many of them come to
Missouri. This state offers great
opportunities to farmers"

A burning question with Mis-
souri, farmers just now is, "Does it
pay to fertilizei" "Last year up
on June 49," says Judge Simon
Isenhower, a leading Barton cOun-
ty farmer, to the Lamar Democrat,
vI planted twenty rows Of corn.
In one box of the planter there
was fertilizer and in the other
there was none. Last fall / gath
cred the corn. The first two rows,
one Of which was fertilized and
one of which was not, l put to-
gether. Then l gathered the re-
naming eighteen rows, keeping
the fertilized corn to itself. The
nine rows that were fertilized made
4, 500 pounds Of corn of excellent
quality. The nine that were not
fertilized made SO pounds of an
inferior quality. There is no use
to inquire, Does it pay to ferti-
lizef"

SHOT TO DEATH.
Young Man Well Remember
ed In Eastern Au-
drain.

ed in Middletown, in Montgomery
county, just over the line from
Audrain. Many people in that To-
cality remember Frank Rose. AS a
boy he was idle and shiftless, but
there was nothing vicious in his
nature that showed itself at that
time. After he left Middletown he
began to SOW to the wind in earn
est. The Middletown Chips calls
him "a poor, misguided boy:"
Salt Lake City, April 22.-Frank
Rose, the wife murderer, was shot
to death in the yard Of the state
penitentiary here at 1000 o'clock
this morning. Death was instan-
taneous. Four bullets lodged in
or very close to his heart.
Rose was strapped to the same
little wooden chair in which Peter
Mortensen met his fate a few
months ago. Five prison guards,
concealed behind a blue curtain in
the doorway Of the blacksmith shop
across the area, formed the firing
squad. One of the rifles held
blank firing cartridge. Rose went
to his death chair with the same
GOODNESS that had marked his con-
duct since he surrendered to the
police.
Rose had confessed this morn
ing to ten other murders. He de-
clared he had spent the last four
teen years in committing crimes,
varying from robbery to murder.
Robbery was his first crime accord
ing to his story.
From that he had launched into
murders of every description, and
related instances where he had
killed men for a little money. He
said he had committed a murder in
San Francisco, where he quarreled
with a companion who was work
ing with him upon the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe terminals. In
st. Louis, according to Roses con-
fession, he was guilty of several
crimes, including murder.
There is some doubt at the peni-
tentiary as to the truth Of Roses
confession, but he had furnished
names and dates and other details
to such a degree that his story had
gained general credence with the
prison officials.
Roses last crime was peculiarly
atrocious and cold blooded in that
it almost resulted in the death of
his two-year-old son from starva-
ton and cold. Rose shot his wife
on Christmas day while she was
lying in bed. He sat and talked
with her until she died Of the
wound, then went away, leaving
his boy in bed with the body, Rose
says he returned four times in the
next two days to feed the child,
Then he went to police headquar-
ters and gave himself up.
Rose never expressed any sorrow
for his deed and asserted firm be-
lief that it was all predestined.
Rose said that he travelled under
the following aliases; Bill Sly,
William Cody, Fnll-Hand Jim,
Tom Lang, William Hartigau and
Bill Ross.
In addition to his st. Louis
crimes, Rose claims to have killed
man at Bowling Green and
another at Roses ranch, near Han
nibal, Mo.
Roses first crime was committed
at Middleton, Mo-, when he was
but n years of age. He burgaliz.
ed the Robinson Hardware Com
pany, and secured about 5000.
Rose served two years in Jeffer-
son City prison for grand larceny,
under the name Of Ross, about
1896.
