either, for many farmers in Oklaho-

that grow corn in small quantities

Manufacturer Explains.
Clinton r. Lee, whose factories at
Boston, Davenport and Lircom con
sume more raw material than any
other broom plants in the world, has
spent much Of his time in wichita
and Oklahoma during the recent flr-
ry. Discussing the situation today
he said:
at is an unfortunate occurrence,
but one for whom no one can be
held responsible The price Of broom
corn can only be regulated by the
supply, for the supply comes from
such limited territory. This year the
broomcorn crop is short in Okla
homa. and that can only me2n hgh
prices. Then, again. the demand Is
heavy because of the short crop OF
two years ago. All the surplus corn
was used up at that time, and the
manufacturers have no reserve with
which TO meet the present situation
AS this seasons shortage became
more and more apparent there was a
rush to buy. The growers soon learn-
ed the situation and began to demand
increased prices. The few growers
thus practically control the market
and there is nothing 10 do but paw
the price
Brooms have already advanced on
the average OF dollar per dozen,
and manufacturers show that this ad-
vance does not cover the additional
cost of manufacture. The individual
user OF brooms is not hit nearly so
hard. proportionately, as is the broom
maker. Thc latter must carry the
load and pray for the day when the
broomcorn yield in this country will
show material gain.

A Letter from Pennsylvania.
ALLEGHENY, Penn. Feb. q. l9l.

Allegheny, Penn, Feb. p, 1911.
home paper, The Examiner, is receiv-
Ell here regularly and is read with
pleasure and interest. As several
Bear Lake boys have filled and are
now filling missions in the Eastern
States, l believe that the readers of
he paper would be interested in a
fw items with respect to the work
now being done by the L. ID. S. elders
in this part of the world.
/ Elder Ben f. Rich is our mission
president and we have corps of 1874
elders. In the year 1910 we sold
3, 534 Standard church works, 30,67s
other doctrinal books and gave out
IT. 05 free gospel pamphlets. The
number of families visited, in distri
buting this literature, was 1888, 398, of
whom S6,l99 were revisited, 1901
hours were spent in tracing, 55,707 in
conversing on the Gospel, 1881 in
educational work among church
members and 161, 442 hours in private
study. We had 1888 gospel CO n
vers atoms, held 200 hall meetings,
2, 1852 cottage meetings and ,70l meet
ings in the open air.
There are twelve conferences in the
mission and each has several thriv-
| ing branches of the church, which are
growing and being strengthened
yearly. All this work, carried on by
voluntary missionaries who give from
| two to three of the best years of their
lives, is costing the world nothing.
j Our elders and their friends in the
west are furnishing all the financial
backing which runs up to or over
$500, 600 year for the 81 missions in
the world. Some idea of the totals
for these 81 missions may be gained
from the figures given above.
1t is very gratifying to note the
| improvement in Eastern sentiment
toward us and our work, notwith-
standing bitter TRADES that are being
taken up in some of the magazines.
Thinking men and women know that
the Misrepresentation thatar being
made of the Mormon people are not
well founded and they are coming to
recognize the moral and intellectual
worth of our missionary movement
which seems, indeed, destined to play
an important part in the uplifting d
humanity and in the final institution
of Peace on earth and good will to
ward all men,"
Your friend,

LOCAL AUTOMOBILISTS
Will ATTEND MEETING
To Be Held In ThOmaSViIIG
On September 18th

AS great interest as has been mani

Vile, Tallahassee and Gulf Highway
Association shows clearly that Amer
icus and this section will be we'll
represented when the delegates go to
Thomasvill on Septembr 13.
Special invitations have been eX-
tended to the automobilists of Ameri-
Gus to attend the meeting, Judge J.
H. Merrill, the president of the as
sociation, having been especially cor
dial and generous in insisting that the
largest delegation possible from this
city be in attendance at Thomasville
to share in the hospitality of the peo-
pie of Thomas county and to go on
the tour that will be made to ST.
Marks, Florida.
President Crawford Wheatley, Of the
Board of Trade, has already given
Judge Merrill assurance that Ameri-
Gus will be we'll represented. In ad-
dition to Mr. Wheatley, Messrs. Frank
Sheffield and Arthur Rylander have
signifed their intention of making the
trip to Thomasville in their cars. Mr..
Wheatley has been listed among the
speakers of the occasion in Thomas
Vile to address the convention on The
Andersonville-T Highway
as feeder for the Thomasyille, Tai
Iahassee and Gulf Highway"
Though the season here is an in
tensely busy one, there will no doubt
be other representatives from Ameri-
Gus to make the trip. On the MORN
ing of September IA about twenty cars
carrying hundred delegates, will
leave Thomasville for Tallahassee
and St. Marks, where a boat ride on
the Gulf, fish dinner and other social
features will enliven the day.

JOY RIDERS IN SMASH-UP
Three ARE INJURED
Flying Car In Collision With
Buggy

Macon, Ga, Sept. 9.-While travelling
at the rate of about 40 miles an hour
coming toward the city yesterday in
an automobile J Christian, A. G. Fort
and P. w. Smith, of Fort Valley, col
lided with a buggy on the Houston
road, IL miles from the city, and Mr..
Smith was badly injured, the buggy
torn to flinders, and the auto turned
upside down on the roadside, while
the other two men who occupied the
machine were lying about ten feet
away. Christian and Fort, seeing that
their friend was bleeding furiously
about the head, quickly turned the car
back over and put Mr. Smith in the
rear and rushed him to the hospital.
Upon examination it was found that he
was suffering from several decorations
about the head, a hemorrhage OF the
left ear and internal injuries.
