Some corn will be handled, but large.
ly as an experiment. For our first
years canning we expect to raise our
own tomatoes, and for that purpose
we already have planted the seed for
plants for which from fifteen ia
twenty acres Of land will be neces-
sary. Necessarily our first years
output will be limited, but we ex.
pect to be able to put $4,000 cans of
tomatoes on the market this year and
materially increase our output from
year to year. Next season we will
commence buying our vegetables,
contracting for them in from ten to
twenty acre lots from farmers near
the factory.
TT is our intention to put on the
market only the choicest hand picked,
and hand packed tomatoes, and we
expect to find a ready market for our
production in Butler, Rich Hill, and
the other principal towns in this and
adjoining counties. Our goods will
stand comparison with the highest
quality of the out put of any plant. J"

young business men of the county.
He is thoroughly competent in every
respect and an enterprise of which
he is the head will be successful, be-
yond doubt.

Senator Humphrey is pressing a
bill that has for its object the closing
of every resort in St. Louis county.
It provides that a dramshop license
cannot be issued to any one other
than a resident of an incorporated
city. Senator Gardner is fighting the
bill because he admits that it would
drive out every rural saloon in St.
Louis county. Senator Humphrey
says that there is no use trying to
regulate a saloon in the woods, and
calls attention to the fact that rural

Real Estate Values Gain.

jefferson City, Mo-, March 49,
The total valuation of real estate and
personal property in Missouri for the
taxes of 1911 as ascertained by the
various Assessors of the State is ST.
547, 592, 229.
This is an increase over the valua-
ton of 1910 of $64, 915, 533.
As has been the case for many
years st. Louis returns more than one
third of the entire valuation of the
State, or $68, 569, PSI above one-third
of the total valuation of the entire
State. These figures are exclusive
of the valuation Of public-service cor
porations, and relate solely to real
estate and personal property.
The total gain in valuation is nearly
double what it was two years ago,
and in the equalization of values by
the State Board of Equalization it is
probable that the total will be in
creased.
Real estate, outside of incorporated
cities, has not kept pace with the in
crease in city lots. The 42,065, 966
acres of land outside of city limits in

year, while the 745, 1877 city lots give

General Carter Tells of Purpose
of ManeuVers.

San Antonio, Tex, March l3.-Maj-
or General W. H. Carter, commander
of the "Maneuver Division" said to-
day that the maneuvers inSan Antonio
are to try out some new field regula-
tons.
"There is no other significance at
tached to the assembling of troops in
San Antonio" said General Carter.
"The War Department looked upon
San Antonio as a place adapted for
maneuvers and that is why the troops
are here.
"There is positively no truth in the
rumor that additional troops have
been ordered here. If such were the
case | am sure would know some
thing about it and no word has reach
ed me. There is no necessity of ad-
diiional troops coming here. There
are enough assembled to carry out
the purposes of the maneuvers. -
Speaker Barker sent his bill to en-
grossment providing state aid for ag-
riculture fairs. The bill provides
that the state shall pay 80 per cent of
the premiums paid for agricultural,
horticultural, poultry and live stock
premiums offered by the country
fairs Of the state. Under the provis-
ions of the act no fair can draw more
than $500. If the bill becomes a law
there will probably be no money
available for this purpose this year,
but the revenue of the state in the fu-
ture may be such as to assist in
offering premiums that will stimulate
the growth and development of the
products of the field, orchard, poul-
try yard and barn. A number OF leg
islatorS believe that this bill will do
more to attract attention to the farm
lands of Missouri than a dozen immi-
grafton commissions used to exploit a
Republican governor on trips in
which he discovers the Ozark noun
tains and the Current river.

GOWNS FOR THE SUMNER
vice Choice of CoIors Is Allowed for
the Costumes Of the Pre-
VatIlng SEASON.

Gowns of liberty satin are practical
as well as effective. and quite as
many colored as black ones are made.
while the same can be said of the
soft-tinished taffeta silks. Many of
these gowns have jackets to match,
but there is always waist to match
the skirt, fashioned in such manner
that the appearance is given OF a
one-piece gown. This style is per.
tectly possible on warm days as well
as cool. for yoke and sleeves may be
OF transparent material.
Extremely practical. also. are the
coat-andskirt costumes for cool days.
In plain color. with trimmings Of
striped black and white. there is quite
new model with which is worn a
lace waist of white over the color OF
the gown. 1t is OF fiiet and Irish lace
combined. 1t is not necessary that
real lace be used to carry out the
model satisfactorily, for there never
was time when so many effective
imitation laces could be bought at
such low prices.-Harper's Bazaar.

book, in which he deals at length with
the subject of criminality, He at
taches special importance to the infiu-
ence of alcoholism on criminality and
the great misery it causes. He goes
back sometimes for several genera
tons to find why a man is a criminal.
He says that of 81 children born of
alcoholics only IA are normal The
abnormality may not always show
itself as criminality, but when it does
in one generation some abnormality
can be shown in every generation. OF
100 crimes alcoholism is the cause OF
so in France and of Al in Germany.

THE little miss has a much wider
choice in hats than she had a few
years ago. Since it beca lie the
fashion to copy shapes made for
grown-ups, in small sizes, for young
heads, childrens millinery has become
much more interesting to the pur-
chaser and much less taxing in its
demands on the miiliner. The variety
in shapes makes it possible, also, to
suit the child's individual style.
Two good designs are shown here,
suitable ter girls from about to l6
years old. They are made on the
familiar bell and helmet shapes and
only differ from these shapes made
for grown people, in the matter OF
size. The bell-shaped hat appears to

WHY ONE MAN GAVE UP WINE
Mark Rutherford in His Autobiography
Gives His Reasons for Complete
Stop in Liquor Habit.

In the autobiography of Mark Ruth
erford he tells US why he gave up
the use of wine He had been led
to use It because of physical weak
ness and depression of spirits. He
was very miserable sometimes, and
not knowing what else to use resort
ed to wine. He found after a time
that the drink habit was taking strong
hold of him. So he resolved that
he would touch no wine in the day
time, but would do his work and then
take something at night. There was
new development then, for he found
himself eager for night to come SO
Incorporate way, but far enough to
overcome his physical sufferings.
Presently, as he felt the strong
craving all the day long for drink and
found that he was no, entering with
proper spirit, but listlessly, into the
days employment, he startled him
self by demanding whether he was
going to be the slave of the bottle
or be a free man
Such slavery he saw meant degrade
ton, moral and intellectual. If he
kept up the drink habit he must re-
linquish all hope Of making anything
of himself. He must give up his
chosen pursuits in which he had
taken so much delight. He must drop
down to mere bodily Indulgence, and
be nothing more than hundreds and
thousands of other young men who
had gone the same road into obscurity
and uselessness.
He balanced the two In one scale
was what were offered by wine-tem-
porary relief from physical pain. and
temporary elation of spirits. In the
other scale the opportunity of grow
ing along the lines of study which
he loved, and the prospect of making
his mark somewhere in the world.
He decided that he was not going
to be such a fool as to lose what
Whatever drink offered was only for
little while anyhow, and if his ex-
perience would be like that of others
before him, the temporary relief and
eXhilaration would be followed by
greater pain and depression. The
young man had too much good sense
to turn away what was noble for
what was base, so he stopped using
wine, stopped completely, and never
regretted having done so. No one
ever does regret sue a step.

EVIL EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL
Exercises Immediate Parayzing Ac-
ton on Nervous System and Pro-
duces Premature Decay.

1t must never be forgotten that
even if all gross intemperance were
done away with there is a vast deal
of material and moral injury done by
alcohol taken in quantities which
most men consider moderate Here
lies the impOssibility of getting rid of
the effects of drink by any other rule
of life except total abstinence For,
Of course. the liquor has to be swal-
lowed before any effects can be pro
duced; then it is some time before
any marked effects are obvious and
meanwhile there has been ample time
to take more. When it has once been
swallowed ii is not likely to be re
turned ard the consequential action
on the system must follow, whatever
it may be. 1t has further been shown
that harm is done by doses much
smaller than any which the eonsurl-
er can himself perceive to have done
any harm. We have no doubt that
any moderate drinker who may read
this will repudiate the idea that he is
doing himself any injury. This self
delusion is one of the reasons for the
slow progress of our cause. But it re-
mains the fact that alcohol exercises
an immediate paralyzing action on the
nervous system and its continued use
produces degeneration and premature
decay. All reforms and reduction of
license good as far as they diminish
drinking must never be permitted to
cause us to relax our efforts to attain
TO absolute sobriety, which can only
consist with total abstinence-Medi-
