The Limit.

The city council of Galena
has up for consideration an or
dinance the like of which was
never heard of before in any
part of the civilized world, we
believe.
We understand that our neigh
boring town has several clubs
which buy goods out of town.
The Times of that town says
there are about thirty of those
clubs. It is declared that from
a thousand to twelve hundred
dollars is sent out of Galena each
month. The business men of
the city have tired of all this,
and an ordinance has been placed
on its first reading in the Galena
council, which provides that So
licitors for the purchasing clubs
shall pay an examination fee Of
FIVE dollars every ten days, and
mind you the examination is to
be a medical examination. The
trainers of the ordinance believe
this will put a stop to the house
to house canvassing. The work.
ing of the ordinance will be
closely watched by merchants in
other towns, and if it works out
all right, there will be need for
more doctors to make examin-

more. We live no longer in the
past, but in the present, an age
of rush, an age of fashion, an
age of idleness, when our boys
and girls are taught to live be-
yond their means, an age when
boys and girls are taught to use
their bodies as though it was
some old engine with which they
could throw most any kind of flu
Ell to get up steam. Mr.. Editor,
we tell you that I'VE as a people
are living fast and we are dying
at the same rate. Away in the
past but few were sick, but at
this age none are in good health.
Back yonder, it was a struggle
for existence, but all had a bully
good time; now we live easily,
work but little, eat all sorts of
grub with condiments in it, grunt
and roll with the collie, call for
the doctor and the undertaken
gets us-we pass away and are
no more.
We pass on and say:

tendent, held teachers meeting

was very instructive and inter-
esting.
Our road bosses should get
busy and fix some parts of our
roads before winter comes.
In winding up this bit of news
(if you wish to call it news) we
will say that we made a call on
the editor and his force last
week. Pete and Jim we're in the
best of humor, and the editor
was in the same fix. The editor
called us into his Office and gave
us a few hints on spelling, pune
tuation and the use of words,
and told us that if we intended
to write for the News we must
abide by his instructions, or he
would throw our COMPOUNDED
stuff into the waste basket, and
US with it. We got busy, and if
there is any improvement in our
spelling and manner of telling
the News, give the editor credit
for it.
Let us work and stimulate

The basis price for 60 per cent
metallic zinc was $44 last week
in this part of the district. The
best basis offering at Webb City,
however, is said to have been
SAB. The basis price for the
week previous was S44, with but
little ore sold on that basis.
Spelter was quoted at S5.S7 IL
and SIS. 90 the latter part of the
week, which was a slight adj
vance over the first of the week
and the week previous. In spite
of the fact that spelter was
quoted strong and realized an in
crease in price, the zinc market
was not affected here for the
better.
Very few lots went at the S44
basis and but few brought as
much as $45, the bulk of the ore
being sold at from $40 to $42.
Some lots were reported at as
low a figure as $50.
The production was slightly
lessened by a few operators who
refused to sell their ore at the
figures offered. One producer
said he would not sell another
pound of ore until he received a
S45 basis price. Another oper-
ator said he would hold his ore
at least for a month, as he an
ticipated better prices.
Lead was much lower at st.
Louis, being quoted at S4.22 IL
and $4.25. Prices on 80 per cent
ore here ran from $50 to $50.
Most of the ore marketed brought
S57 and $5S, which was practi-
cally the same as was paid the
week previous.
Calamine remained about the
same, with a good demand for
ore and good prices offered. The
basis quoted on 40 per cent ore
was S24, with premiums for bet
ter grades. Some sales were re-
ported at $50 and S32, while
much of the ore went at $50 and
S2S.
Less ore was sold from Gran
by last week than for some time,
only 212, 220 pounds being ship
ped. This may be said to be
the production, however, as prac-
tically all of the bins were
cleaned of ore.
The exceptionally good prices
being offered for calamine has
caused a revival of the mining
of the ore. Both Spring City
and Saginaw are the scenes Of
much prospecting for the ore.

Route No. 4.
(Bv Raw Hand)

Being absent LOT some time, we
come again, hoping to say some
thing that would be new and at
the same time instructive. While
we have not been using our &C
customed space, we have closely
scanned the columns of the News
in order to ascertain what was
happening, or what had happen
ed or what was going to happen
in Baxter. The editor, we see
is very dilligent in giving his
readers all the important news
and letting the ''slush" go by.
What we need at this time is
clean literature-for there is too
much yellow" type found on our
desks for our young people to
read.
For the past few weeks we
have lived in the past-went back
to the land where we first saw
the light-played and romped,
went to the old, well-beloved and
much frequented swimmin' hole
and soaked to our hearts content.
We plowed with the bull tongue,
drawn by a steer. After that
ancient tool of agriculture pass
ed, we titled the soil with clum-
sy plow called a double shovel.
We sowed wheat in the corn
stalks and the yield exceeded the
present crop. We dropped the
seed corn by hand and hoe hand
came after us and covered the
grain. The corn was dropped in
the cross" and if not some one
got a spanking. We cut the
wheat and oats with a cradle. and
binder" followed up and tied
it by hand, into bundles. A
"shocker" came along and shock
ed it, stacking the bundles on
end and using two for caps"
While all this was going on
the good woman cooked the best
best grub a man ever ate, cooked
it out over a fire. We went to
church, walking six miles, and
carrying our annual" shoes on
our arm to a safe distance and
then put them on. Young ladies
came who never knew fashion
nor tight strings. What a happy
time we had, for all the world
loved each other and sociability
grew. We went back to our first
love-" in our mind, but would
be willing to go back in reality
and live the good old times over
again. Reader, do you remember
the times fifty years ago? Some
say that the people at this age
have the people of that age skin
ned a mile, but the people fifty
years hence will have this peo-
ole skinned worse than we ever
skinned those of fifty years ago.
Older people love to go back and
live in the past while younger
ones take a delight in living in
the future. While we are back
in the past, will some lady reader
come and tell US how they spin
and weave all kinds of cloth?
The cotton and wooden cards are
brought out, the carder goes to
;arding and soon a nice pile of
rolls" are ready for the spinner.
The spinning wheel is brought

Probably many of our readers
have noticed that we quote quite
extensively from Wallace.s Far
mer in our farm articles. We dc
this because we think that is the
best farm paper published. Mr..
Wallace, the editor, is a practi-
cal farmer himself, owning his
own farms where he makes his
own tests and experiments, and
BY so doing he speaks by the
card, so to say. Henry Wallace,
who, by the way, is known as
Uncle Henry" was president
of the Conservation Congress
recently held in Kansas City,
and was the recipient of much
praise for the manner in which
he handled the congress.
