RIVER TRYING TO
REVIVE AN OLD TOWN
MISSOURI RIVER AGAIN FLOWS
by ROCKPORT, MIS-
SOURI,.

ROCKPORT, Mo, Dec 14.-Three-
quarters of a century ago the Missouri
I.dyer killed Rockport by quietly one
night deciding to leave its old bed
and start a new channel five miles
away.
! Now the river is endeavoring to
Iesurrect the town and the main
stream is flowings within $50 yards
Of the tumblcddown and decayed
steamboat docks Before Christmas
boats again will be able to land al
Rockport and the rehabilitation of the
town already has begun.
Rockport was one Of the Oldest
towns in the west. and but for the
yagaries of the Missouri probably
would have been metropolis. It's
q number of years ago had there been
fny inhabitants there TO commemo-
late its founding. Years and years
lefore Chicago was thought OF, or
before old Fort Dearborn was built.
Rockport was fourishing settle
ment.
Then westward came civilization
and cities and towns sprang up along
the Missouri. A house was built in
Omaha. Council Bluffs became a good
fzed place. Kansas City and Leay-
enworth were put on the map. Min
neapols and 81. Paul were named.
But larger than any Of these was
Rockport. Steamboats, which only
vhistled at Omaha stopped at Rock
port for supplies Military expe-
ditions made headquarters at Rock
port. There was good boat land
lag at the place and at the docks the
water was deep and still

they arranged for yearly stipend of

One morning a steamboat coming
up the river could not find Rockport
The town had disappeared The pilot
found himself in strange and unfa
miliar waters, The boat was out of
its course, but it, had followed the
stream. That same morning when
the citizens Of Rockport awoke they
found the Missouri had run away and
left them. Where yesterday the wa
ter had flown swift and deep today
was dry land. The river was not even
in sight.
A party Of citizens started out to
find the river. They succeeded. 1t
was five miles away, flowing peace
fully along its course. Rockport was
dazed. The town was doomed. The
] yer had killed it. The big trading
Iosts were discontinued. The hotels
we're closed The citizens moved
away The houses were moved one
at time into the country and served
for farmhouses. Finally there was
but single family living in the
place. Half n century elapsed and al
most all traces of Rockport disap-
reared. one wall of the old stone
s ,rt remained. And there was also
the rotting timbers of the old steam
oat wharves
River Returns Now
But the Missouri after many years
cf wandering. became dissatisfied
With its new bed. Its current gradu-
ally turned westward again. But in
stead of devouring the miles and
miles Of land in single night 1t be-
pan leisurely TO eat its way back TO
the western hills. Slowly corn field

The government built ripraps and

NEGLECT OF THE FARMERS
gress Was Hurtful to the Asri-
cultural Interests.

Democratic government does not
benefit the farmer. The record of the
Democratic majority of the house dur
ing the second session of the Sixty
second congress proves this in more
ways than one.
During the past summer the field
work in agricultural education all
over the country was completely de-
moralized. The Democratic house
failed to pass the appropriation bill in
time to meet the needs for the work
and many local institutions and COM
munities that had sought aid were Sc
riously embarrassed.
The activities In behalf of farmers
institutes were interrupted because
the leader in charge of the work had
to be recalled, owing to lack OF funds.
Every state and territorial expert
ment station in the country felt the
serious effects of Democratic neglect.
There are sixty-five of these stations.
where 1.600 persons are regularly en-
ployed. In addition to numerous labor
ers and other help. Summer is the
busy season for the experiment sta
tions and failure to receive the neces-
sary funds not only seriously ham,
pered the work, but In not a few
cases necessitated postponement or
modification Of Investigations Numer-
Gus plans at the stations awaited the
annual inspection. which could not be
made without funds and must be put
back until next year.
Owing to the Democratic delay. the
department Of agriculture was COM
PEELED to discontinue field work in
connection with soil surveys. The
potash and fertilizer investigations
were also suspended for lack Of
funds.

F1axseed advanced I49 per cent
Fat cattle advanced g. per cent.
Fat hogs advanced 95 per cent.
Dairy butter advanced Sc per cent.
Eggs advanced 30 per cent.
The prices of articles which the far
mer purchased have not advanced as
rapidly as the prices of the product
which he sells. thus leaving him
handsome margin of profit. Here are
q few examples:
Ten bushels of corn In 1911 paid for
1913 pounds OF sugar. and for only Sc
pounds In 1896.
Ten bushels of corn paid for 81
yards Of bleached sheeting in 1911.
and for only 13 yards In 1896.
Ten bushels of corn in 1911 paid for
two pairs Of shoes. and for only one
pair in 1896.
No farmer can afford to vote the
Democratic ticket because Democratic
victory means lower prices for his
products. depreciation in the value of
his farm lands. and the impossibility
of borrowing any money in times Of
emergency.
A vote for Woodrow Wilson is a vote
for free trade. and a vote for Roose-
welt is half vote for Wilson and free
trade. The only security for the far
mer is I'm the reelection of President
