FULLER R IN 1911.
Greatest Production and Con
sumption in History of the
Industry.

AAlhhobAJ
Fuller's earth, the claylike ma
terial that is used principally as
filtering medium for oils, fats,
and greases, is found in Is States
as shown by a report of the
United States Geological Survey
on the ''Production of Fuller's
Earth in 1911" now going
through the press. In 1911
fuller's earth was produced in
but seven States, Arkansas, Cal
ifornia, Florida, Georgia, Mass
a~chusetts. South Carolina, and
Texas, and there were no unusual
developments in the industry.
New deposits are reported from
time to time, but in many the
high standard of efficiency re-
quired is not found and only
a few of the deposits are worked.
.Of the large number of known
deposits but 10 were worked IN
1911. Some of the causes for
the small number of workings,
in addition to the high standard
of quality required, are mac
feasibility of the deposits and
lack Of capital.
Notwithstanding the compare
lively small number of producers
the output has almost steadily
increased from the small begin
nmg in 1895, when but $500
short tons were reported, valued
at $41, 400, or So a ton, to 1911,
when 1857 tons were re,
ported, valued at $3.50, 124, OF
$9.4l a ton. The prospects for
1912, the report states, appear tc
be bright and the production fol-
this year will probably exceed
THAT of 1911. A number of de-
posits which were being ex-
plotted in 1911 will be producers
in 1912.
The production for 1911 was
1875 short tons, or "a per cen
greater than the output of 1910
and it was valued at $09,4l5
an increase of 30 per cent. This
is 81 per cent greater than the
production and q per cent
greater than the value reported
for 19O9-the maximum outpu
and value until 1911. The highes
average price per ton-$9.4l-
was also attained in 1911; thu
lowest-55 .72-was in 1904,
The imports of fuller's cart
were also the largest ever re
corded both in quantity (18,
224 short tons and in value
($143. 594), so that the con
sumption of fuller's earth wa
58,921 short tons, valued a
1926, 71S. OF this the domestl
production represented SO pc.
cent of the quantity and 70 pc.
cent of the value.
Florida continues to be thu
leading State. In 1911 it re
ported 27,65S tons, valued a.
$265,57 or $3.50 a ton. Thu
was IS per cent of the quantit!
and SO per cent of the value o
the entire output and value. In
other States in the order OF jthel
frank in output and value al
1911 were Georgia, Arkansas
Texas, Massachusetts,, California
and South Carolina. The ayerag
rrice per ton in these States
was. Georgia, 1904; Arkansas
$40; Texas, 1886; Massachusetts,
SIS; California 5000; and SoutI
Carolina, 81.

Missouri Fruit Prospects.

Reports from special cores
pondents from every county of
the state to the Board of Hor-
ticulture show that throughout
the state the prospects at this
time are good for large crops of
apples, cherries, pears, plums
and strawberries. Grapes and
bush fruits have been injured
somewhat by the severe winter
and do not promise as well.
Peaches are an entire failure
throughout the state, except in
1ne or two small regions, and
these show only a partial crop.
AT the time of receiving reports,
fruits were either in bloom or
setting the buds so that much
still depends upon how well the
fruit sets. In detail, conditions
average about as follows.
North West Missouri-Apples
vary from so per cent to full

To the Democrats of Lafayette
County:

OOuuIy
There is a nationwide senti
ment against favor-seeking in.
terests financing political cam
Daigns, and the most w~le-
some way to throttle, that insid-
ious encroachment upon the
rights of those who want JUS
tice substituted for favoritiSm
in the affairs of government, is
for the Individual citizen to
realize that a responsibility
rests upon him TO contribute fl
~nancially for the furtherance of
those political ideas that are
consonant with his own views
Of justice in government affairs.
The frank and positive refusal
of Missouri's candidate for pres
ident, Hon. Champ Clark, to ac-
cept campaign donations from
questionable sources, brings the
question of the people financing
campaigns squarely up to those
who are demanding justice as be
tween organized monopoly on
one hand and the everyday eiti-
zen on the other.
1t is perfectly clear to all SEN
sible men that no campaign, nat
ional in it's scope, can be con-
Quoted without the legitimate ex-
penditure of quite a lot of money.
If we want a president of and
for the common people, we, the
plain, everyday citizens must
contribute modestly to see that
the candidate who most nearly
represents our ideas is gwen a
fair, square opportunity to win
upon the issues and his merits.
The attitude of Speaker Clark
should appeal to honest men OF
every political faith, and his
positive e%nunciation of such a
principle should quicken the
conscience and loosen the purse
strings Of every honest reformer
in Lafayette county. AS chair
man and secretary Of the Lafay-
cite County Democratic Commit
tee, we have decided to inaugur-
ate an opportunity for Lafayette
county people to contribute to
the Clark Campaign Fund, and
accordingly have mailed sub
scrjption blanks out to the var
ious voting precincts. We espec
; tally urge all thosse interested
not to wait for the paper to be
presented to them, but to IN.
quire about the subscription anc
make their contributions early
Sums from so cents up will be
accepted and if remitted to II
p, C. Chiles, Lexington, Missouri
will be forwarded to the st.
Louis Republic where the list OF
contributors will be published anC
. a receipt forwarded to each
i. donor.
Attend to this at once and
thereby manifest more than a
=, passing interest in the efforts OF
democracy to again bring the
people into possession of Their
own.

ism-who, there is no question, was
chief craftsman of the original charges
of Kuhio-than it is enter Kinney to-
make a follow-up attack on Frear.
Probably this is exactly what was
intended from the first and that Kin
ney, the shrewd old political tacti-
clan planned the whole campaign for
Kuhio. His brief and argument at
this stage are as reinforcements
brought forward not only to save the
day, when things have begun to run
contrary to Kuhio's expectations of
winning in a wild rush, but to pro-
long the battle so as to aid the Dele
gates campaign at this end of the
line to which he is Fastening away
from his post of duty.
Evidently the object is to hold off
the appointment of a successor to
Governor Frear, no matter whether it
is to be himself or another, so as
to complicate the counsels of the reg
ular Republican organization in the
general local campaign From such
complication no doubt Kuhio is led, by
his astute Democratic managers to be-
lieve that he can pluck advantages to
himself. 1t is just as certain that the
Democratic leaders are in the game
to down not only the Republican par
ty in Hawaii but the confiding Kuhio
himself Here at home the Demo
Gratis have not had the horse sense
to keep the design concealed. In their
little preliminary conferences of the
campaign they are Boosting of the
spelling of Republican prospects
through the internal disturbance for
which Kuhio is responsible. In this
they are giving Kinney's real game
away.
