Potatoes

The ordinary Irish potato, that
we'll known necessity of life, eaten
daily by everyone and grown in all
of M~issouri's ia counties, has been
selected by Commissioner j. C. A.
Hilelr of the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics as the subject for an inter-
esting chapter in the 1910 Red
Book, devoted to giving facts and
figures on the States annual pro-
duction of this familiar commodi y,
There is hardly a Missourian who
would not as quickly dispense with
his daily meat and bread as do with
out irregular supply of potatoes
and yet only a few really know that
nearly all tubers consumed here are
grown at home and are not i'm
ported from Ireland where, as the
common belief is, they are grown
by a man named Murphy.
In 1909 the farmers of Missouri
not Ireland-raised a total of Z
$4,000 bushels of potatoes and sent
most of the crop to market where
they brought the average whole
sale price of 81 cents per bushel.
A fact worth remembering is that
most of the farmers who raised
this vast supply of tubers are not
Irish but German. At the price
given per bushel the crop was
worth $5,O13,OO0 which is more than
enough to build Missouri's propos-
ed new state capitol. In fact if all

that the free coinage Of silver
would increase the per capita cir

VOTERS!

The secret ballot is a sceptre in your hands.
With it in the voting booth, you are sovereigns-
with it you can determine the effectiveness of
state government, the character of legislation,
the prosperity of state and nation, and your own
welfare.
On Tuesday, November 9th, you will have the opportunity
of exercising your sovereignty. Will you protect it by sustain
ing the only State administration we have had in years that has
deprived dishonest voters of assumed sovereignty?
Or will you cast your sovereignty away by voting with a
party that has permitted fraudulent elections, encouraged lobby
control Of the Legislature, gerrymandered Senatorial and Con-
gressional districts, and neglected the material development of
the State?
Will you be Indifferent to your sovereign rights, and your
own welfare?
Or will you 60 to the polls and register a vote for Missouri
and for yourself?
And you DO vote for Missouri and for your own best in
teress when you vote for Republican State, Congressional and
Legislative candidates. They stand for the things YOU are for.
They are running on YOUR ticket the ticket of economical
and effective State administration, honest elections, progressive
legislation, control of corporations, law enforcement, fair redis-
trictng of Senatorial and Congressional districts, and continued
State development.
Vote, men, vote! Vote for Missouri-for yourselves!

A High Class Show.

The Candy Girl which comes to Cres-
co next Saturday night is the same
play that was known last season as
""The Girl That's all the Candy" Iii
a musical comedy that is different than
the usual run of musical comedies, in
stead of being trashy collection of
songs with no plot whatever, it has q
very clear plot running through the en-
tire three acts. A good strong line Of
comedy is carried along with it which
furnishes sixty laughs to the minute.
There are twenty-four beautiful musi-
cal numbers interviewer in the piece,
and the ten chorus girls change their
entire costumes sixteen times. As
most companies of this sort and size
are playing just the larger towns and
at 81. 90 prices, don't be alarmed and
get the idea that this one is not up to
the standard with the rest of the big
ones. A feature of The Candy Girl
Co. is the electrical effects. The stage
is kept lighted most OF the time with
beautiful colored lights, which adds
beauty to the numbers gone through
with by the chorus. If you want to
see show well worth the money and
be we'll satisfied with every part of it
come to the opera house next Saturday
night, Dec. II, and witness the per-
formance of the Candy Girl Co. The
best seats are only fifty cents.

Cresco boys were little too fast on
their feet for the Charles City team
and seemed to out play them in every
way. The work of the Cresco guards,
Plopper and johnson, and also Gam
mons basket throwing were the star
features of the game. Cresco meets
Charles City again on Dec. 16 at Charles
City. They have been hard at work
preparing to win this game, and will be
the first team in three years who has won
from Charles City on their home floor.
The manager and members of the Cres-
co high school basket ball team were
greatly disappointed with the support
they received from the high school
pupils and also from the town people.
The expenses for the Charles City
game amounted to about $40, while the
gate receipts were only $3.50. The
team has fully decided that there will
be no more home games unless a large
crowd can be assured.

the postoffice one noon last week, but
although it looked to be very blood
thirsty crowd it was finally settled
peaceably. After the fracas, when
questioned as to the cause of the

knew the origin of it, and that the
scrap had been the result Of mis-
understanding on the part of the over
Jealous juniors and one innocent senior.
