Four Shares of Farmers & Mer-
chants Bank Stock Sell at $3.50
Per Share.

Saturday w. T. Ragland sold at
Administrators Sale four shares of
Farmers & Merchants Bank Stock
at public sale in front of the Bank,
Miss Lizzie Umstattd being the
purchaser. The Stock was the prop
erty of Miss Sarah J. Jackson, de-
cesed. The par value of this stock
is 500, its book value is about $315
and it sold at $3.50 and is a good
safe investment at that price as
the bank has tor some time been
paying a semi-annual dividend of s
per cent-16 per cent per year -
besides adding every year to the
surplus.
The business of this bank has
been growing for years and ii
stands in the front rank of Missouri
banking institutions. 1t is managed
by safe, conservative, liberal bust,
ness men, men who have the en-.
tire confidence of the people, and
they neserve it.
Such institutions are great
credit to any community.

If you look at the comet these
bright nights you will see that its
tail has grown wonderfully the past
week. The scientists have not. ex-
planned how it is that the tail short
ened and gradually disappeared as
the comet neared the earth, and
how it apparently increases as it
recedes. Doubtless many of the
scientists will try to prove. after it
is all over, that there has been
practically the same amount of tail
all the time, and how the mass of
particles on which the suns rays
were reflected to particular spec
tator is larger as the range of vision
is heightened by distance. Many
of the laymen will be inclined to
agree with the scientists, particular
ly that though the mass of tail re-
mains the same. not all of it is Wis
ible at one time-Courier Post.

Daily Arizona silver belt., 1910-04-15
WOULD THE WHOLE COUNTRY NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF MATERI- ALLY, AS WE'LL AS MORALLY
 AND POLITICALLY:

If no extra session of Congress had been call ed to revise the tariff?
 If at the regular session, a tariff committee had been appointed to take up scientifically and deliberately the whole subject of revision look ing to reduction-cOnclusion to be acted upon by congress from time to time, as presented?
 If Mr. Taft had adhered to his declared inten- tions of making this business mans adminis- tration, putting the legitimate prosperity of the country before every other consideration, thus fostering the confidence of American and Euro pean capital?
 If, when the Standard Oil decision was an- nounced in November last Mr. Taft had at once declared his purpose to put through congress an amendment of the Sherman antitrust act, which would allow legitimate business to con- tnue without disturbance?
 There would have been avoided thus the long period of waiting for the extra sessions tariff changes, during which business has partially stagnated.
 The excessive imports in anticipation of ris- ing duties in uxuries, would have been avoided and our trade balance would have been more favorable.
 The possibly unconstitutional corporation tax would not have annoyed and antagonized the business interests.
 The tariff would not have been revised up wards on downward promise and the split in the republican party would have been avoided
 MT. Taft would not have found bitter enmity in the west from disappointment at failure ot tariff promises and would not have felt compell ed to take up the Roosevelt policies fiercely il order to endeavor to win back favor.
 The whole country would have ignored the supreme court decisions, and business instead of being overshadowed with the threat of dissolu tion as at present, would have gone on actively in the development of legitimate prosperity which has been halted.

That's no reason at all; there is no custom that can't be changed. Not enough clothes money to go around? Now that's more like real reason ; and if that is it, it does credit that they let the women use the money available for self-dec
 oration. But you can t get around the fact that men need gay clothes far more than women do.

FANCY DRESS FOR MEN

Life publishes a two-page picture by Orson Lowell, in which the men are decked out in frils and fancies, brads and stripes, and the women are garbed in plain and sober garments much like those worn by men in real life Un- der the picture is this inscription: ''Perhaps men could be beautiful if given the same chance" On the whole, the men in the picture look rather we'll in their strange trappings
 Well, why not?
 The world is turning topsy -turvey anyway; at least the political bosses who had grown used to having their commands obeyed by the masses, and who now find themselves absurdly futile and inconsequential must think it is. If evolution can really bring people to the point where they are strongly inclined to do their own gov ernng, and to do it in their own interests, sure ly that is departure from precedent startling enough to make it seem not so strange if men take to frills and feathers.
 And if women are going to emerge from their quiet byways of life and throng the polling places, the rostrum and the stump, surely that reversal of conditions will be startling enough to make it seem rather commonplace if men choose to share in woman's old monopoly of bright raiment. The artist in the picture put his women in sober garments; but that ism t necessary. Men need only share in the glories of furbelows; they will not seek monopoly of their use.
 And surely men need adventitious adornment more than women. The marvel of it is that they have gone without it so long, when they need it so much.
 There would be nothing new about it. There have been times, not so very long ago, either, when men, with their ruffes and laces and silks and bright colored garments, competed bravely with their fair companions in glory of apparel.
 Man, by his voluntary assumption of attire paner and humber than that affected by wo- man, has classified himself with very small minority in the animal kingdom. In the great majority of cases it is the male that makes the bravest show It is the buck that wears the noble antlers, not the doe. Fumes, colored combs topknots and brilliancy of cOloring dis tinguish the male bird from the nconspicuous female bird In the case of the scarlet tanager, one of the most ornate of American birds, only the male is brilliantly scarlet; the female is pret- tv but not showy in her light olive-gre and greensh yellow Even among fishes, for in stance the salmon, the males often have bright colors and ornamental fins. The same rule gov erns through the insect world. The male beetle wears prodigious horns which, no doubt, are greatly admired by the plainer lady beetles. There are certain male spiders that with their gav coloring outshne their meek and plainly garbed spouses.
