Government Needs Laborers.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Aug. 22.-The
Government is experiencing trouble
in getting day laborers for work on
Missouri River improvements near
this city. This is very unusual. In
the past ii was the rule that the aver
age hobo preferred Government work
on river improvements to amy other
that could be offered him. The
wages are deemed good, the hours
short and the Government feeds its
employees well.
The scarcity of Government help
at this place is doubtless due to the
fact that the Missouri Pacific is en-
ploying a large number of men in
blasting away the river bluffs over
hanging about six miles its track near
this city. Possibly the wages offered
by the railroad contractors prove
more alluring than the Government
schedule.
Farmers in this part of this State
also complain about the scarcity of
farm hands. With the exception of
harvest time, wages on the farms
generally are not so good as either
the Government or the railroads fur
nish, so it is probable that as long as
the Government and the railroads
have signs out, Help Wanted"
farmers will 90 short.

Demand for These Oelicacies Growing
Stronger In All Eastern Markets
Bring Fancy Prices.

tBY w. d. NEALE. ELSBERRY, MOI
The demand for frogs. turtles and
terrapins Is growing stronger In the
eastern cities Of the United States,
Quite a good deal of money is being
made by those who have undertaken
to supply these markets.
The state of Missouri alone shipped
s445.99S worth to eastern buyers last
year.
This state holds first rank as a pro-
Queer of frogs, and none other ships
SO many to the east.
The flesh OF the frog is white and
tender and TO many people it Is more
toothsome than that OF fish. Their
skins are also valuable, as they are
used tor making fancy purses and
other leather novelties. The Missouri
turtle has become famous for its ten.
derness and delicacy. Many of the
streams in Missouri abound with them
and 1t is said when they are shipped
to the cities they often become the
basis of many green turtle soups.
Most of the terrapins exported from
Missouri are products of Dunklin,
Pemiscot and New Madrid counties.
There is great area of swampy land
In these countries. and here the ter
rapins grows and multiply very rap
idly.
They always meet with ready sales
on the market, and bring fancy prices
in New York. Boston and other large
eastern cities. Many claim that when
Missouri terrapin is properly prepared
he is as delicious as the salt water
variety.

Missoula, Mont, Aug 22.-With
thirteen lives lost and SI,UUO,UOO
worth of damage already done, the
fire in Wallace, Idaho, still is burn
ing.
The entire east halfof the city above
Seventh street, except the Federal
Mills, has been destroyed. West of

a relief train well equipped with pack
animals, carrying provisions and hos

HAS FOUNDATION IN ROCK
Remarkable Church in German Town
Around Which There Linger
Superstitious Tales.

In the quaint old German town OF
Oberstein an ancient church stands,
built in the great rock rising from the
river The front of the building is of
stone, but the church itself is hol-
lowed out of the rock and penetrates
far into its heart. Tradition says that
in the fourteenth century the count
of Oberstein, one of the old robber
barons. fell deeply in love with a
beautiful young lady, the daughter of
a neighboring knight His brother
also sought the fair maiden's hand
and the two suitors had a violent
quarrel. The upshot was that the
count flung his hapless brother from
the top of his castle wall, high up
the precipitous cliff. Repenting of his
awful deed, the count vowed that he
would build church where his broth
er's body first touched the ground.
He did so, excavating the church in
the rock. and tradition goes on to say
miraculous spring of clear water
sprang from the crag as token that
Heaven was appeased. This curious
church is now the only Protestant
place of worship in the town.-Wide

Houses of corncobs.

In certain parts of Europe corncobs
are utilized for building purposes. The
cobs are taken to a factory, where
heavy congresses crush and mold
them into blocks of various sizes, just
as bricks are variously nodded. These
blocks are then bound with wire SO as
to make them hold together. They
are then soaked in tar in order that
they may be watertight, and, after this
last operation. they are ready for the
market.
This product is, of course. much
lighter than brick; and they are al
ways dry. which cannot be said of the
brick. 1t is said that the corncob con-
struction affords good house for the
poorer class.

Points Regarding The Census

The census begins April Is and
must be completed in thirty days.
The enumerators will wear
badge inscribed united States Cen.
sus, 1910"
The law requires every adult per-
son to furnish the prescribed infor-
nation, but also provides that it
shall be treated confdentially so
that no injury can come to any per-
son from answering the questions.
The Census Bureau, prior to April
Is, will distribute to every farm ow-
ner and tenant in this state blank
or schedule containing the Census
questions relative to farm operation
and equipment. This should be fill
ed up, if possible, not later than
the morning of April Is, butif any
one has been unable to fill it up by
that time, he should do it as soon
afterwards as he can.
People who do not speak En- lish
or who do not understand the sche-
dule completely should get help
from others, if possible, in filling it
up.
| The President has issued pro-
clamation, calling on all citizens to
cooperate with the Census and as
curing them that it has nothing to
do with taxation, army or jury ser
vice, compulsory school attendance
regulation of immigration, or en-
forcement of any law, and that no
one can be injured by answered the
Inquiries.
1t is of the utmost importance
that the farm census of this state
be complete and correct.
Therefore every farm owner and
tenant should promptly, fully and
accurately fill up the Advance
Farm Schedule"andc carefully pre-.
serve it for the enumerator when
he calls. m12
