BARRE'S LID ON TO-DAY.
That Is, the Lid on Mercantile Business.
1t Was the Clerks Holiday.

The annual clerks holiday occurred
to-day, and. although there is no formal
observance Of the occasion this year, all
stores with the exception Of drug stores
and fruit stores were closed and the
streets had something Of the appearance
OF Sunday. A number Of the clerks held
an outing in Townsend's woods, where
baseball. athletic events and general
rood time were the order Others en-.
syed the day at different ponds in the
entity Of the city For those who
hose TO remain at home, there was a
baseball game at Goddard campus this
afternoon, between Queen City and the
italian Athletic club.
This years holiday is the first one in
several years that has not been marked
by an excursion to some well-known
place Of recreation or Of historic inter.
est Owing to the delay in settling the
railroad strike, it was found necessary
to abandon any plans for an outing Of
this nature. In past years, the excur-
sions have been well patronized by the
public at large, as many as 500 people
attending some Of them. And SO to-
days observance Of the holiday seems
rather tame in comparison to the moro
extensive observance Of years gone by.

Another Mineral Resources.

The 1909 Red Book of the bureau
of labor statistics, which is now be-
ing distributed by Commissioner J. C.
A. Hitler, contains a valuable and In
teresting treaties on Cadmium in
Missouri-an almost ~inexhaustible re-
source" The mineral substance,
cadmium, so useful in e~lectroplating
art. medicines and in amalgams, is
found in paying quantities, mixed with
the zinc pres of Southwest Missouri.
1t takes a high grade of smelling to re-
Owe the metal, but it exists in near
ly a pure state all through the Joplin
district and at the present market
price is worth the task of separating
1t. 1t is estimated that the 236,S60
tons of zinc blondes produced in the
Joplin district in 1908 contained l.
695,91S pounds of cadmium, which was
equal to 20 times the production or
consumption of CADMIUM for the world
in that year. About So per cen of this
amount was lost in roasting and frac-
tional distillation of the ore. writes
G. F. ~Siebenthal of the United States
geological department, who is an ex-
pert on the matter. Until very recent
ly nearly all cadmium used in this
country was imported from Germany.
The discovery that the mineral exists
in the Joplin blondes, to the average
of O.35S per zen caused the single
eastern smelling company which does
the recovering to draw most of its
raw material from Missouri. The
present demand for cadmium is, how
ever, not great enough to consume all
this state could furnish.
