WELSH CAVE JEWELLERS.

Cave dwellers still survive among
us here and there and there is living
at Llandudno an aged woman
known colloquially as "Miriam's
Ogo." She is ninety-three years Of
age and till quite lately lived in a
cave on the side Of the Great Orme.
There she bore and brought up a
family Of IS children, n Of whom
is a stalwart Bowman" of the LlaA-
dudno lifeboat.
Miriam's husband, also a cave

NOW THE AERIAL POSTCARD
Latest Novelty the Outcome Of the
Desire Of Man to Conquer
the Air.

Have you seen the "%aerial post
cards?" They are the latest novelty
in the line, and those who collect
postcards are delighted at the idea
that before long they will be able
to add to their albums a "carte aeri-
enne," dropped from the clouds by
one of their friends passing in an
aeroplane. The new card bears a
printed request that the person find
ing it on the ground will be so good
as to take it to the nearest p~ostofice,
whence it will be forwarded to its
destination. A space is reserved for
the mention of the altitude at which
the message left sender's hands, and
the situation, approximately, of the
aeroplane at the time of sending. A
photograph Of the monoplane or BIZ
plane figures on the other side.
1t is said that a request has been
made to the minister of posts and
telegraphs that a special stamp
should be created for these aerial
missives, but SO far l have not heard
that NJ. Millerand has undertaken to
to so.-Paris Figaro.

bacco, which last year showed a
marked increase in acreage, in

is estimated at but IS per cent

J ear.
FRUlT-The outlook for a
fruit crop is very favorable and
IS now believed that most of
the danger from cold weather
has passed. The apple outlook
for the entire state is placed at
S4.S per cent. There is some
complaint of a light bloom on
Zen Davis apples, also on other.
varieties in that district that
produced a full crop last year.
Correspondents place the peach
outlook at 63.2 per cent. While
alberta peaches have been kill
Ell to a very large extent, other
varities, and especially seed
promise well. The straw
berry outlook is placed at 88.7
per cent for the state, but the
crop in the commercial berry
section of the southwestern part
wen more optimism. The
general fruit out look for the
state is placed at 80.

up trying, it is small wonder that he
becomes skeptical. And yet, to all

TRY just one thing more"
We wish you would try DR.. Cald-

that has been used for a generation.
Thousands are using it; surely some

better still, send your name and adj

Something About Roofing.

OSA owning
Having to buy as we do fol
ten lumber yards, we make a
yearly contract with the manu-.
%tacturers for our supplies, and
after submitting our specifi.
cations to the roofing manu-.
tacturers, and making very
Careful comparisons of the
many brands offered, we Sc
lected the Peerless roofing and
the star brand roofing, manufac-
tured by the American Roof
ing Company, Kansas City, Mo,
because it as proven to be
the best adapted to our many
uses in this climate, and be-
cause the price at which we
buy, enables us to very sue
cessfully sell at prices that com
petition can not meet. Selling
as we do, many car loads a year,
the manufactures carry our stocks
for us and we are privileged to
order for each of our ten yards
III small or as large quantities as
we desire at less than car load
prices, thereby enabling us to
keep our stocks nice, clean and
fresh. Our trade must know
that, by such an arrangement,
we have the mail order house
skinned a country block. Not
only this, but our roofing is
guaranteed, and no chances are
taken when you buy it, because
we stand behind every roll that
we sell. Our roofing is used
on all kinds of sheds, barns, hOus-
es and business buildings. Some
of the best business buildings in
Lexington are covered with our
roofing. We are also selling
lots of it for floor covering, used
in place of expensive oil cloth
and linoleum. Think of it. Try
a roll of it on your kitchen, you
will be surprised at what a nice
floor it makes. 1t lays flat
and smooth, and does not have
to be taxed down to keep it in
place.
A mistake that many are max
ing who have roofs covered with
felt roofing is, that they are not
taking the proper care of it
by painting it. We know of
roofing that we sold several
years ago that has never had
my paint on it at all. One can
not expect a roof to last indef-
without a good coat of
Asphalt paint, which preserves
t. We carry Asphalt paint in
stock and sell it at a very low
in any quantity, by the gal
on or by the barrel. A word
% the wise is sufficient. Get
and paint that roof with
'ur Asphalt paint if you wish it
o last indefinitely.

Missouri Fruit Crop Report.

missouri Fruit Crop Report.
The State Board of Horticul
ture is in receipt of special re
ports from practically every
country in the state, and from
these advices the following sum
mary of conditions regarding tn,
fruit crop up to May 10, is com
piled.
APPLES-On the whole, Their,
promises to be a good crop Of
this fruit throughout the entir,
state. In the parts of thu
state where orchards bore heav
lily last season, there was not &
light bloom with the Ben Davi,
type, and now and then a few
other varieties. Jonathan
promises especially well almost
everywhere. Reports seem tC
show the best yield in the north
east counties. In the south
vest the crop is well distributed
although not particularly heavy
1t is believed there is enough
bloom everywhere to insure as
much fruit as the trees should
be permitted to bear. Prospects
now are for the largest crop in
ears.
PEACHES-The best pros
pect for alberta, the leading com
mercial peach, is in the north
east counties, but there are no
large orchards there. This va
riety was frozen out in the
northwest part of the state dur
ing the winter. In the eastern
counties peaches will be scarce
except a few very hardy va
rletles which escaped injury in
March and May. In the cen
trail counties the peach will
be irregular. In three of the
counties, a fair crop of liberia
Is reported, but for the most
part the yield will be from seed
lings and a few other hardy
In the southwest, but
few Elbertas are left. In the
south central counties, where
the large peach orchards are To-
Gated, there will be a light crop
OF Elbertas-probably not more
than ten per cent. The dam
age was done there by the freeze
in March.
STR"AWBERRIES-From ev-
cry part of the state the reports
say there will be from IS to 100.
per cent of a crop of strawber-
RES. The cold of May 1st nip

but did not affect the general
yield very much, but the sea

CRENSHAW & YOUNG
Missouri Crop Report for May

AN'iO'AAS CiOP INPOl was
issued today from the office Of
I. G. Wilson, secretary of the
Missouri State Board of Agricul.
ture, the report being based on
conditions May /.
The month of April was gen.
orally cool. Conditions were
favorable for blowing but the
soil conditions was such that
but little planting was done.
There is some complaint that
pastures made but little growth
owing to the cool weather. The
soil condition is unusually good,
being placed at 90.2 for the
state. A number of correspon-
dents speak of the ravageS of
the green bug, which has been
gettlhg IN It's work during the
cool weather. It is believed
that with the coming of warmer
weather there will be but little
cause for complaint from this
pest. A few correspondents re-
port severe local hail storms.
However, it may be said that
taken as a whole the outlook
for all crops have seldom or
nevr been better.
CORN Correspondents re-
port 65.3 per cent of corn land
plowed, but only 21.3 per cent
OF the corn crop planted. On
May ], of last year 46.7 per
cent of the corn crop has been
planted, while the ten year
average of corn planted on May
] Is "a. 9 per cent. Missouri
farmers seem to have profited by
last years experience and are
careful not to plant this year
until conditions are favorable
Tor a stand. A few correspond
ents in the southern part of the
state report some corn up and
the stand a good average.
WHEAT-The outlook for a
good wheat crop is very flatter-
ing, the condition of the entire
state being 90,6 per cent as com
pared with 70.5 one year ago,
or IS as the eight year average
for May /. The abandoned
acreage is but Is per cent, as
compared with 1871 per cent
abandoned last spring. Only one
or two correspondents mention
any trouble from Hessan fly
OATS-The oat crop is com
ing along well, the condition for
the entire state being placed at
$50 as compared with 80 one
year ago. The revised acreage
Is placed at 89.2 as compared
with last year.
CLOVER, TIMOTHY, ETC
The report on old clover places
1t at 85,6 per cent for the state;
new clover 85,1. Reports ON this
crop r conflicting, but cores
pondents are generally agreed
that the new crop has suffered
considerably because of adverse
weather conditions. Timothy
condition for the state is 87.9
for old crop and 1877 for new
crop. Alfalfa condition is
91.2 per cent for the
state.
OTHER CRoPS-The probable
acreage of cotton is placed at
1862 per cent as compared with
last year. Cool and wet wealth !
er has interfered somewhat with
getting in this crop. The esti- /,
5imated flax acreage for this
season is placed at 1O7 per cent {
IS compared with last year. To- !
