Seedless Apples at the Fair,

Several bushels Of seedless apples
from Colorado are on exhibition at
the Worlds Fair. This improved
seedless apple, like the seedless orange,
is the result of the scientific work of
horticulturists. The apple is blossom
less and the fruit is free from worms
and hardy enough to endure the
severest frost. The blossomless feat
ure of the new tree is one of its most
striking peculiarities and will make
it a favorite with fruit growers,
especially in cold climates. Already
seedless apple nurseries have been
started in several states and seedless
apple buds are in great demand.
John F. Spencer, the producer of the
seedless apple, is experimenting with
various varieties.

REMEMBERED DEAD HEROS.
Their Graves Strewn With Flowers Again on
Last Monday.

The memorial services at the M. E.
church last Sunday was attended by
members of the Grand Army Post
and a good sized congregation of
others. Rev. Robison's sermon was
splendid effort along the lines suggest
ed by the occasion and much pleased
the veterans who listened to it. AL
though it was very muddy getting
about the graves of the ex-soldiers
buried in the Laclede cemetery and
the nearby country cemetries were
decorated according to program on
Monday, each tomb receiving its
tribute of respect for the dead. The
list Of ex-soldiers graves is increasing
rapidly, and the line of march on
Decoration day is growing correspond.
ingly short, and decade hence there
we'll probably be few living who in
the sixties went forth to battle at their
countrY's call.

A Short Wool Crop.

This years wool crop in Missouri
does not promise we'll, according to
the Fulton Gazette, which is publish.
ed in the main wool-growing section
of the state. The fleece, the Gazette
says, is lighter than usual. "Some
farmers attribute it to the lack of
warm weather necessary to bring the
grease into the wool, while others
claim that sheep generally have not
thrived as they usually do during the
past winter and as a consequence the
wool growth has been retarded. The
only consolation the fockmaster has
for the shortage in pounds is that
better price is being paid than for
some years and that the lamb market
is also fraction stronger than usual.
At this time last year only II cents a
pound was paid for clear wool on the
Fulton market, while now there is a
strong feeling at 81 cents, with indi-
cations that prices may be even
better"

Another Old Citizen Gone.

VIM. Leavy, one of the oldest and
best known citizens of this locality,
died last Thursday morning at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. R. H.
Maggard, two miles west of town of
pneumonia. He had been sick less
than week, and was rs years of age.
He had been a widower thirty six
years. In 1852 he came to Laclede
and bought the farm on which he
died. He served in Co. A. 18th Mo-,
during the civil war and was a good
soldier as we'll as citizen. He was a
fine violinist and during the early
days it was only necessary to an
nounce that "Uncle Bill" was to
furnish music for the dance to call
out a large attendance. He was a
man who had many friends and few
enemies.
The funeral services will be held
Saturday morning at 1890 at Grand
Army hall to be conducted by Rev.
Robson. The remains will be buried
in Laclede cemetery.

THE BEAUTIFUL PALACE du COSTUME.
Showing the Historical Meeting Between Kings
on the "Fieid Of the Cloth Of Gold"

One of the most interesting pages
of history written by the brilliant
Macaulay, was that describing meet
ing between Francis I of France, and
of Henry VIII of England, during
which each We'd with the other in the
splendor of their retinue for period
of thirty days.
This sumptuous event between
royalty is depicted with fidelity to
life in the Palais du Costume build
ing at the Worlds Fair that has won
for it the unqualified admiration Of
the thousand of patrons who have
seen it. Correctly entitled the "Field
of the Cloth of Gold," and so known
to most every school child in the
country, it is marvellous narrative
in tableaux of the actual scene which
was created by M. Felix of Paris, and
which was one of the wonders Of the
Paris Exposition. While this is but
one Of the many in the Palais du Cos
tune exhibition brought over from
Paris Court London, England, to
which place it was taken from Paris,
yet its original cost alone was twenty
thousand dollars, the entire collection
selling for million dollars. An.
other one of the most talked of feat
ures Of the exhibition is that showing
the gown worn by Josephine, EN-
press of France, on the eve Of the
coronation of her and Napoleon. 1t
is pure ermine and decorated with
gold, and perhaps is the most valu-
able single robe in the world at the
present time costing just $4,000.
People who go to the Fair and who
visit the "Pike" will not fail going to
the Palais du Costume building, not
only for the reason of its marvellous
gown show, dating from the time Of
the fig leaf down to the latest crea-
tions of Felix, Couset and Worth,
but also FOR the reason that the living
feature in the nature of dozen
beautiful young women, each selected
from a state in the union, receive dur
ing the day and evening gowned in
the latest fashion, so that they will be
in keeping with the other portion Of
the entertainment.

Every housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains Is oz.-one full
all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10c.
Then again because defiance starch is
free from all injurious chemicals. If
your grocer tries to sell you 12-oz
package it is because he has a stock
On hand which he wishes to dispose of
before he puts in Defiance. He
knows that Defiance Starch has print
I'd on every package in large letters
md figures "16 ozs." Demand De-
lance and save much time and money
md the annoyance of the iron stick
ng. Defiance never sticks.
