A. w. Lafierty, recently appoints

his state has plenty Of material
for United States senator. "The
idea which seems no prevalent
elsewhere that Missouri has only
two republicans, Nicdrlnghsus

is . greatly mistaken one" said
he yesterday. "Missouri leads all

In wealth and population, and IL
cqualcd by only four states In the
Union. II the successor to senator
Cockrcll compares favorably with
the citizenship and resources Of
the state, he will be a leader In the
senate. There is no reason why
this should not be.
"only favorable comment can
be made upon Mr.. Niedringhaus,
the regular republican caucus
nominee, who is cmincntly quali-
fed for the position. But much
may also be said OF other Missouri
republicans, honest, brilliant, and
able. who are pre.cmincntly fitted
for the place. Among the younger
cligibles may be named Herbert
s. iIadlcy, attorney general, who
has not yet lost the bloom OF youth,
but who has the ability aud clo-

On leaving Milan, Secretary OF
State Swangcr had this to say to
his friends and the friends Of the
Milan Republican Of which he was
editor for many years: "If I
should leave a word Of cxhortation
to my party friends 1t would be to
stand by, encourage and support
your paper. When you do you
build up and strengthen your
party. When you do anything TO
weaken IL, you are striking n blow
at party success. The Republican
has battlcd for party success In
tho past and II will battle for party
success In the future"
Mr.. Swanger's admonition to
support the home paper is timely
advice and should be needed by
all. There IL no enterprise that
is OF more value 10 community
than the local ncwspapapcrs, yet
there are those who imagine that
they are doing n charitable act of
some kind In supporting the paper
published in their towu.

Ran the Hole Cut of Town.

Burton Holmes, TIE lecturer, tells
of Russian he saw some years ago
in Manchuria, whose methods of
achieving results were not according
to the usual code. The Russian had a
we'll in his front yard which he con-
cluded to fill up. He began by dig
ging a hole by the side of the we'll,
throwing the dirt from the new ex'
cavation into the well.
"In the course of time" says Mr.
Holmes, 1.-THE old we'll was filled, but
there was hole alongside as big as
the first. The Russian went farther
away, and dug another hole to fill the
second.
"He continued this process Of dig
ging one hole to fill the other until

FROM SAME BOX
Where the Foods Come From.

look here, waiter, honest now,
don't you dip every one Of these faxed
breakfast foods out Of the same box!
well, yes, boss, we duz, all 'cept
Grape Nuts, cause that don't look like
the others and people know 'zackiy
what Grape-Nuts looks like. But
there's bout dozen different ones
named on the bill Of fare and they are
all thin rolled fakes so 1t don't make
any difference which one man calls
for. we just take out the order from
one box
This talk led to an investigator.
Dozens of factories sprung up about
three years ago, making various KINGS
of breakfast foods, seeking to take the
business of the original prepared
breakfast food-Grape-Nuts. These
concerns after a precarious existence,
nearly all failed, leaving thousands OF
boxes OF their foods In mills and ware
houses. These were in several In"
stances bought up for a song by spec
ulators and sold out to grocers and
hotels for little or nothing, The proc
ess of working off this old stock mas
been slow. One will see the names
on menus Of faxed foods that went
out of business a year and half or
two years ago. In few cases where
the abandoned factories have been
bought up, there is an effort to resus-
citate the defunct, and by copying the
style of advertising of Grape-Nuts'
seek to influence people to purchase.
But the public has been educated TO
the fact that all these thin naked
foods are simply soaked wheat or oats
rolled thin and dried out and packed
They are not prepared like Grape
Nuts, in which the thorough baking
and other operations which turn the
starch part Of the wheat and barley
into sugar, occupy many hours and re
suit in a food so digestible that small
infants thrive on it, while it also con
tains the selected elements OF Phos

Nuts, and there have been many imi
tations, a few Of the article itself. bu
many more of the kind and characte

ways counterfeiters and their printe'
and written statements cannot be e1
pected to be different than thei

Labor Saving Device.

Bradley Martin Jr, described at a
dinner party an eccentric Scottish
keeper of his employ.
This keeper" he said, was once
guiding a shooting party that hunted
UP near the top of steep and high
mountain. Suddenly, when they had
reached a great height, one of the
heaters gave loud yell and seized
himself by the back Of the neck.
Through his interlocked white fingers
bright blood oozed. The man had
been peppered with stray shot in the
nape.
The keeper, seeing the blood, and
thinking the accident much worse than
it really was, bawled out excitedly:
run, Dugald! Run down the hill!

to carry ye.'"-San Antonio Express
