A Greater Monroe.

Recently several gentlemen form
ed a company and bought the W. T.
Clark farm in Marion County ad-
joining Monroe City and will lay
out same in lots for a residence ad-
dition. They desire to come into
the corporation and at the meeting
of the council Friday night it was
ordered that at the city election in
April vote be taken to incorpor-
ate into the city a strip one fourth
mile north running a mile east and
west. There are now about fifteen
families living in this territory and
some very fine homes; When this
territory gets into town there will
be many more as it has many fine
building sites. '

BOYS CORN GROWING
CONTEST FOR 1910
Are You Aware of What 1t Is2

For a number of years the State
Corn Growers Association, in CO.
operation with the State Board of
Agriculture and the College of Az
riculture, has conducted a corn
growing contest among the young
men end boys of the state. 1t be-
gan a few years ago with few
hundred and now it has reached
into the thousands in it's enroll
ment.
There are two classes one for
the young men and one for the
boys. The Young Mems Class in
cludes those under twenty years of
age and over sixteen, and the Boys
Class includes those under sixteen
and over ten years of age.
The boys names will be register
ed with Sam Jordon, of Columbia,
Missouri. who has direct charge of
this feature of the work this sea-
son. These young people can either
register direct, or. a better plan will
be to register with some organiza-
ton or some bank or other busi-
ness, and their names can be sent
in by those with whom the boys
register. Those registering should
give name, age and postoffice ad-
dress. There are no fees of any
kind ard every wide-awke young
farmer should avail himself of this
opportunity.
Last season the University sent
free seed to about two thousand
boys and yonng men of the state
and the results were highly crafty
ing in nearly every case. Pure seed
was thus scattered over many parts
of the state and it has been demon
strated many times that pure-bred
seed corn, everything else being
equal, will produce from five to ten
bushels more corn to the acre than
the common scrub seed. Last sea-
son many banks and other business
concerns took hold of this work and
the number that are now reported
as calling for literature on the con-
test, indicated that scores of banks
will take hold of the work this sea-
son. 1t is presumed that there is
not a Farmers Club in the state
that will not take up the work, for
it is recognized that this is the best
way to arouse interest in improved
farming.
1t becomes vital question with
every business interest to help
boost this work, and it is a fact
that there are very few, if any,
newspapers in the state that will
not willingly give all the space to
this matter that will be called for
by those who are boosting this
work
Bigger crops spells more business
for all concerned. Brothers, push
the thing along.
Write to Sam Jordon, Columbia
Mo-, for particulars.

one of the best known of American
political economists. He said:


creased supply of gold, has
much, if anything, to do with
the increase in the cost of COM
modities. / think that the high
prices are largely artificial; that
are the result of manipulation.
In a single further sentence Prof.
Laughlin made plain his meaning
when he said: The prices of COM
modities are largely fixed by the
combinations which handle or con-
troll them"
Here is not only a sufficient but
an absolute and necessary reason
for high prices. The fact that the
prices of most commodities are fix
ed by the combinations which con-
troll them no intelligent man dis
putes. The law of supply and de-
mand has been repealed Under
that law price was determined even
tually in IN open market in which
those VINO had a given article for
sale were met by those who wished
to purchase that article. The price
became such as would yield the
seller a reasonable profit on the one
hand, and such as the buyer conld
reasonably afford to pay on the
other.
But now the seller alone fixes
the price. The buyer has no voice
in it, since there is no competition
among the sellers. They have COM
bined and the buyer must take the
article at the sellers price of 60
without. And as he cannot 90
without and live, he pays the arbi-
trary monopoly price and then
spends sleepless night worrying
about the increased cost of living
and wondering what the reason is!
Human nature is selfish. That
is the reason why private monopoly
is intolerable and indefensible. The
monOpolist is not content with rea-
sonable profits. or a reasonable for
tune built out of such profits. He
extends unreasonable profits in or
der to build up a mammoth fortune.
Armour's, for example, recently de-
clared 35 per cent dividend. Now
comes the harvester trust and de-
clares an extra stock dividend of
33 1-3 per cent. It is capitalized
at 120 millions 80 millions COM
mon and go millions preferred
These extra dividends are made
possible by adding to the price
charged the farmer for harvesters.
The farmer must pay the price or
NOV his grain with a sickle
How can the people help them
selve? What possible remedy is
there? Only one. Smash the pri-
vate monopoly, thereby restoring
free competition and allowing the
law of supply and demand again to
fix prices. AS long as prices are
fixed by private monopolists, and
as long as human nature is selfish,
the monopolist will continue to
charge, not what the buyer ought
to pay but what he is able to pay
And rather than starve and freeze
and 60 without tools and furniture
land clothes. he is able to pay every
thing he has. This is the ultimate
and rational limit of monopoly
price-making. st. Joseph Observer

Review by the Iron Age


 New York December 14-(Special. 1.-The Iron Age will say tomorrow:
 The iron trade is resigning itself to a period of drifting. with little expectation of early developments affecting either prices or orders.
 The attitude of producers on prices was illustrated by the action of the sheet manufacturers at their Pittsburg meet ing December s, which was the largest ever held. They decided that conditions do not call for any change and that in the immediate future what has been the nominal basis should be made the actual basis of sales.
 The Pennsylvania rail order, with it's condition of heavy discards from the rail bloom has not yet been accepted.
 The New York Central tonnage, which is likely to be 125,000 to 130, 0c0 tons, or more than has been counted on. likewise involves some questions of specifications In two or three cases rail mills which would have been idle most of this month have been given preliminary orders for early rolling, but applying on next years contracts. Car inquiries include 15OO to 200O for the Buffalo. Rochester and Pitts burg and 1000 for the Kanawha and Mich iaan The Hartman lines figure on 153 locomotives and the Boston and Maine is about to buy a considerable number. In pig iron the only question of moment is how soon the merchant furnaces will blow out enough capacity to put pro- auction below consumption. The idle list Is growing more rapidly. The Steel cor pofation blew out another Gary furnace this week.
 Iron ore on lower lake docks and in fur mace yards now amounts to about 30,0O0.- 900 tons, or enough to last until late fall of 1911. This is an unprecedented ac- emulation.

IRON BUSINESS IS
 VERY CRED|TABLE Structural Steel Tonnage Is Well Above Normal INQUIRIES ARE LARGE Disposition Of Buyers Of Pig Iron Not To Place Orders Until Af-
 ter Inventories Is Very
 Strongly shown
INQUIRIES ARE LARGE

Cleveland O., December 14--(Special.)- The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 The structural steel tonnage offered by builders to manufacturers and fabricat- ors during the year is estimated at about 1,750,000 tons. This indicates that the present year has equalled 1906, which was the largest in the history of the indus try. Although not all of the new busi- ness offered has been placed such an az gregate tends clearly to show that the iron and steel industry is suffering from too much capacity for any ordinary year, and that the business which has actually been done this year Is very creditable.
 contract has been awarded to the Car negie Steel company for about 20,0O0 tons of plain material to be used In car con- struction by a Canadian car company. Inquiries for 300 cars are pending in the Chicago district The Pennsylvania Steel company has taken about $500 tons of structural material for the Norfolk and Western and TOO tons for the Pennsyl- vania.
 The disposition of buyers of pig iron not to place orders until after inven- tories have been taken has been very strongly manifested during the last week, and many meters are also showing a dis position to delay deliveries on contracts. new furnace is to be built by the Alan Wood, Iron and Steel company of Phila- delphla at Swedeland Pa. Numerous meetings of manufacturers have been held during the past few days to consider the trade conditions. As a result of meet ing of sheet manufacturers prices are firmer, but business has correspondingly decreased, and some mills expect to close at an early date. Same buyers are counting on a decline in prices after the first of the year. It is. however, by no means certain that this expectation will be realized.
 Sentiment recently aroused in an effort to prevent general demoralization is very strong, and 1t may succeed in its ob- ject in spite of the rather unfavorable outlook at present.
