GINSENG Information Relating to the Richest Product of
 inc S0il

Prof. Howard of the Missouri State Agricultural College says: "I advise American farmers to cultivate Ginseng. Big profits are realized. Itis easily grown" A bulletin by the Pennsylva- nia State College says: "The supply of native Ginseng root is rapidly di- minishing and the price per pound is corrcspondingly increasing, while the constant demand for the drug in China stands as guarantee of steady mar ket for Ginseng in the future.'' Amer ican Consul General Wildman at Hong Kong writes: "There will> be little difficulty in disposing on this coast of all the Ginseng that is grown in Amer ica.
 Ginseng is staple on the market as same as corn, wheat and cotton. The present market price varies from s6.O0 to $500 per pound, while the cost of production is less than S1.50 There is room in one's garden to grow several hundred dollars worth each year. The plant can be grown throughout the United States and Canada in any soil or climate that will grow ordinary gar den vegetables. There are two plant ing seasons. spring and fall.
 We are buyers and exporters of he dried product, and grow roots and seeds for planting purposes. Let us show you how to make money growing Gin seng.

COMEDY At COLUMBIA
PROVES PLEASING PLAY

Guy Standing and his company appear
a the Columbia this week in Con
fusion. a farcical comedy, full OF funny
situations and fine character work and
their performance last night was of
character TO make the large audience
forget all about the heat and laugh
and grow fat.
The story of the piece revolves on a
case of mistaken identity between a
dog and a baby, the concealed marriage
of a butler and a maid. and an OLD
maids pursuit of one Christopher Biz
Zard, II is in three acts, which serve
70 get everybody in horrible sCrapes
from which escapes are effected only al
the last moment of the performance.
Mir Standing, as Mortimer humble
ford, the prosaic husband, proved again
his ability in the portrayal of light
comedy parts. His role was not that
of a hero. but he made il exception
ally attractive and amusing as the man
who is. in the brief space OF one day.
considered ill-natured, hard-heaTLed, un-
reasonable, thoroughly insane and final
ly entirely lovable. His work was il
lumined by his unfailing flashes Of quiet,
effective humor, and in the third act
MS dlScOmfOrtuTe and absolute beWllder-
ment al being thought insane was the
top notch Of fun in the whole play.
Jenreys Lewis. George CASTOR, and
HAN McAlllster came in next in the fun
making. Miss Lewis mysteries in the
nrst act and her spells or love and grief
throughout the evening were additional
PROOF OF the ways OF women, Mr., Nc
Alllster as the butler worried for the
welfare OF his offspring got more com
edy out OF the words Yes. sir. No.
sir than would have been thought pos
sible. His entire performance was witty
and amusing
Miss Hammond, as the misunderstood
VIE, did excellent work and maintain
ed her reputation for charming acting.
In the scenes with Christopher Blizzard
she was particularly effective, as these
gave her her greatest opportunities for
funmakng. The part of the worthy
Blizzard was taken by George CASTOR
and was PLAYED 10 the limit of its large
opportunities. Mr.. CASTOR. who has
come to be known here as always de-
lightful and finished. raised laugh after
laugh.
Good work was also done by Malcolm

mand for canned meats. But all
other kinds have advanced.
Now, the packers have never been
accused of being poor busines men,
1t is generally conceded that they
conduct their business with special
reference TO the profits. They are
paying very high prices for cattle
and hogs, at a time when they are
predicting a great slump in the
meat trade. Shall we believe their
predictions of ruin, or shall we take
the record of prices they are pay
ing? If the foreign market for
meats is wiped out, there is going
TO be Il big shrinkage in prices OF
meat pretty soon. When that shrink
age comes, meat cut odt of 81 hogs
and S6.75 steers is going TO sell at
a big loss TO the packer who has it
in his cellar or in cold storage. Yet
the packers are busily buying and
cutting up these high-priced ami
mails, and taking chances on the fu-
ture condition of the market! They
may be honestly expecting TO lose a
lot of money on the transaction, but
folks aren't just ready 10 believe il.

NO BLOOD MONEY
WANTED BY WIFE
Mrs. Labaree Fears Persian
Mission Work VIII
Suffer.

Rather than have her missionary
cause suffer in the least, Mrs. Mary
sehauhle- Labaree, whose husband. the
Rev, Benjamin ". Labaree, was killed
by religious fanatics on Mt. Ararat.
Persia, has importuned the American
Government not TO press its claims
against the government of Persia for
an indemnity of $4,000 Although left
in uncertain financial circumstances by
the murder of her husband, Mrs. Lab
aree was anxious that no action be
taken in the way of compelling the
Persian government to pay the large
sum Of blood money" for fear that
the cause of Christianity, as represented
by herself and husband, would suffer in
consequence.
This phase Of the famous mis- sionary
murder case. over which there was so
much correspondence between the State
Department and the Persian officials.
has just become known through the
Persian section of the RED Book" on
foreign relations, In tbs section there
is considerable correspondence bearing
on the Labaree case, including a letter
from Mrs. Labaree to Richmond Pear
son, the American minister, located at
Teheran. in which she says: The great
mission cause to which my husband and
myself dedicated our lives. and which
has become even dearer TO me because
Of the terrible sacrifice I have been
called upon to make for il, I believe
may receive serious injury II my chill
dren and I accept an indemnity for this
murder"
In spite of her protest, $4,000 was paid
10 Mrs Labsree by Persia, sum three
times greater than any previously paid
by that government for tn murder Of a
private citizen.

The Meat Market.

The esteemed and sapient New
York Times has wakened to a rec
ognition of some facts about the
meat trade which have been sug-
gested two or three times in this
newspaper. The New Yor,- paper
finds no cause for alarm about the
future Of the meat business of this
country, and that any apparent
losses of exports since the packing
house exposures is due mainly TO
other causes than the recent agita-
ton. It discovers, as this paper has
shown heretofore. that our loss in
Japan alone, following the close Of
the war, accounts for the greater
part of the falling off; and it points
out that whether the world likes
them or not, il will have TO eat
American meats or live on veget-
ables
That is the situation exactly.
There are other countries that
raise cattle and sheep in large
enough numbers to be factors in
that part of the meat trade; but
there is no other hog country. If
the world wants the meat of the
hog, il must conc mere; and in in
creasing measure every year, the
world demands that meat.
