PRIMARYs NEW CONDITIONS WILL
BE MET.

The direct primary was new to the
people of this State. Like most new
laws, 1t had imperfeetions that became
manifest Upon trial. These imperfec-
tons the Legislature will have oppor-
tunity to remedy. Two things must be
made certain; that every citizen will
have the right to cast his ballot as he
pleases, and have II honestly counted /;
and that the member of one political
party will not be permitted to take
part in the nominations of another.
The primary on the Democratic side
was holly contested. II was but nat
ural that some measure of disappoint-
ment should result, but this is far bet
ter than the situation of our Republi-
can opponents. They had no primary

eral with distinction, was compelled by
Mr.. Hadiey to resign his place because
he would not bow to the will of this

a party to fight its battles in the open

STATE SUPPORT FOR DISTRICT
SCHOOLS.

This year from the general treasury
OF the State, in addition to sums raised
by taxation on the property within the
district, we distributed to these Iooa6
district schools SI.s64.6oooo. This sum
raised by general taxation upon all the
property OF the State is the help the
weather. counties extend TO posrer
communities in order to enable them
to maintain their schools. Under this
system many counties in Missouri re-
eeive from the public treasury for
school purposes more money! than the
entire tax paid by that county to the
State.
The school system of Missouri, built
up and maintained under Democratic
laws, must be preserved The common
schools, where the vast majority Of
our youths have their only opportunity
for education, must be continuously i'm
proved and kept at the highest point
of efficiency. A Democratic Legisla-
ture IN the past has and in the future
viii recognize their needs, and just
laws will be enacted to meet their neees-
sites.

Story Of Factory Whose Products
Are Now Highly Priced.

At the end of the North parade,
Lowestoft, is the Warren House, a
place of great interest to connoisseurs
Of china. 1t was here, in the eight
eenth century, that discovery OF
fine clay was made which eventually
led to Lowestoft manufacturing the
china which is now so rare that it Is
almost priceless.
Initial experiments made by Hewlin
Luson, ESQ.,, Of Gunton Park near
Lowestoft, with some fine clay discov-
cred accidentally on his estate result
ed IN complete success and ultimately
led to the opening of a factory at
Lowestoft in 1855 for the manufacture
Of fine earthenware and porcelain "soft
paste
In 1775 finely glazed and decorated
hard paste" was introduced, the eff
6ciency and beauty Of which beto-
kened brilliant success for the pro-
prietors. Contemporary evidence in
disputably shows that from ITO to
1900 the Lowestoft works were at the
zenith of their fame. Owing, however,
to the enormous expenses and difficult
ty incurred in procuring china clay
from Cornwall and elsewhere latter
the original clay was exhausted) and
! the rapidly increasing competition of
other makers its prosperity waned, the
collapse came, and the works were
, closed in lS03.-London Globe.

CLEANING A CLOCK.



1t is very simple to clean n clock,
which may sound rather absurd. For
an amateur it is not always necessary
to take the clock to pieces. With Il
little care and patience and using some
benzine, a clean white rag, sable
brush and some oil q CLOCK can bc
cleaned and put in first class running
order. The benZine should be clean
and free from OIL You can test ben
zine by putting little on the back of
the hand. If 1t is good, it VIII dry OF,
leaving the hand quite clean, but II
any grease remains on the hand II is
not fit to use
The oil should be of the very best
that can be procured Vegetable o.!s
should never be used. Clock oil can be
procured from your druggist or jeweler
All loose dirt should be removed FROM
the works by blowing with bellows or
a fan or busting with a dry brush. In
the latter case great care should be ex-
ercised not to injure any OF the parts.
Dip the brush In the benzine and clean
the spindles and spindle holes and the
teeth Of the escapement wheel After
washing part wipe the brush on the
rag and rinse in the benzine. This
should be repeated frequently until no
more dirt is seen.
When the clock has dried Oil the spin

with toothpick or a silver of wood
cut to fine point. Oil the tooth of the

any definite information as to
which way they will go from that

movements are too uncertain.

From reports around Wilton, they
are not very anxious for this road
to go through. 1t will mean a

Wilton and that will take away
