BOARD OF TRADE MEETS
WITH BOROUGH COUNCIL

Borough Council met Monday night,
present Mayor Adams, Councilmen VIII
lis, Conover, Ryon, Leeds and McAnney,
and Clerk Andrews.
The Mayor and Clerk were authorized
by resolution to borrow 81 500 on note
for 80 days, in anticipation of the sale
of the certificates for the fire house.
The Borough Clerk was instructed to
notify the lighting company to turn on
the lights from sunset to daylight dur
ing the months of June, July, August
and September, in accordance with the
contract made last year.
The Street Committee recommended
that no money be spent on Brighton av-
enue Adopted.
Mr. Leeds reported on the matter of
tower for the fire bell and recommended
that new one be purchased for the new
fire house. Adopted
Mr.. Mckinney reported that the com
mittee had met and We're preparing the
building code for the town.
Mr.. McAnney reported Adams avenue
between Main street and New Road in
bad shape and recommended the placing
of curbs.
Ia delegation from the Board of Trade
was present and they were granted the
floor. President Thompson asked what
had become of the recommendation that
Shore Road be paved the full length of
the borough. Mr. McAnney replied that
the street committee is favorable to paw
ing part of the Road, but not ALL proba-
bly, from Delilah avenue to Park avenue
both sides, and the matter is now under
consideration. Mr.. Thompson then
brought up the matter of all night lights
and stated that the Board desired all
night lights the year around. Mr.. Ed
ward d. Ennis backed up the remarks.
He contended that the essential thing is
that lights should be ON until at least
l.30 in the morning, so that residents
coming home on the last cars will not
have to find their homes in darkness.
Mr.. Joseph Mendell followed up Mr.. En-
mis-, stating that we do not want to lose
any of our residents but want to offer
people every inducement. Mr.. A G. Hall
said he thought the same. Mr.. McAnney
replied that Council is not able to grant
all-night lights, though they would like
to do it, and the 1.30 o'clock matter the
year around was referred to lighting
committee to ascertain the cost He fur
ther stated that as a result of the meet
ing of the Council with the County tax
board last Saturday he is satisfied that
the assessment this year will be double,
or more than $3,000,000. Mr.. Thompson
: asked why property owners on Washing
ton avenue from New Road to franklin
avenue, also Verona avenue from Chest
nut street to southeast borough line,
who had received notice TO curb and pave
and had not done SO, were not compelled
to do it; it is not just to those who have
complied. He also stated that the Board
was getting estimates on an up-to-date
fire alarm system, the details to be
more thoroughly presented at a later
date. Mr.. Hall explained the workings
of fre-alarm system. Mr. Thompson
stated that the Board had appointed
committee on building code and asked
that the committee be allowed the priv
ilege of cooperating with Councils com
mittee on this matter.

HOW TO MARK YOUR BALLOT.

The last legislature passed an amend
ment to the Geran act which makes a
change in the form of ballot. This
change will affect the ballots to be voted
on May %. The change removes the
squares in which the candidates to be
voted are marked, from the right side
of the names of the candidates to the
left side. All the ballots for the prima-
ry on May 2S will be printed according
to the new form, and the voter will
therefore have to mark the tx" on the
left side of the candidates voted for in
stead of the right side, as they did last
fall.

Missouri State Fair County Elk
hibits.

This year more attention will be
paid to County Exhibits at the Mis-
souri, State Fair than formerly. A
large number of counties have al
ready arranged for splendid County
Exhibits. The County Courts are
authorized, under the Missouri Stat
utes, to appropriate money to make a
display OF the agricultural products
OF the counties at the State Fair.
There is probably no other way in
which county can receive more ben
eft in advertising the resources and
possibilities than by collecting a good
lot of exhibits and sending them to
the State Fair. Liberal premiums
are offered and the splendid Agricul-
tural Building on the State Fair
grounds is an ideal place to show
what your county can produce.
1t is we'll to keep in mind that we
should begin early to prepare the ex-
hibits for this purpose. The exhibits
should be made in the name of the
county and they may be made by an
Association, or by individuals and the
display should be confined to pro-
ducts grown in the county. All sam
pies OF straw or grasses should be
cut close to the ground, cured in the
shade and carefully tagged, wrapped
and packed. The awards and prizes
will be based on the quality and va
riety of products shown.
The Missouri State Fair dates are
September % to October 4, and am
very anxious that all of the counties
in my district participate.

Farmers, Attention!

The Missouri Farmer is opposed to
the adoption of the Single Tax Amend
nent which is to be voted upon in
November, and which, if adopted,
would throw practically the entire
burden OF taxation upon land owners.
Never in the history of Missouri has
a measure been proposed which SO
vitality affects the interests of the farm
er as this one and it therefore be-
hooves every land owner to inform
himself in this matter as speedily as
possible. In the May issue of the Mis-
souri, Farmer Geo. B. Ellis, the editor,
takes up the proposed amendment
and shows how unfair its passage
would be to the farmers of this state.
Mr.. Ellis is the EX-Secretary of the
Missouri State Board of Agriculture
and there are few men of sounder
judgment anywhere upon matters
which concern the farmer.
The subscription price of The Mis-
souri, Farmer is SOC per year and by
subscribing now you will be kept in
close touch with the discussion of the
above question. This splendid paper
comes from the home of Missouri S
great Agricultural College and one Of
its objects is to keep the farmers of
the state in close touch with this in
stitution. 1t is the highest class farm
and stock paper Missouri ever had
and should be in every farm home in
the state. The Missouri Farmer,

The Tornado.

| North America is the tornado CONT
nent.
Ordinary storms are caused by
movements of air toward center of
low pressure. The air currents do
not move straight, as long spokes of
a gigantic wheel; the motion of the
earth makes the movement a spiral
These great areas of spiral wind
movement which bring rains and
snowstorms may be 1900 or more
miles in diameter. A tornado is a
minor whirlpool in some portion of
the great and relatively gentle whirl.
For some reason tornadoes are only
formed in the southeast quadrant of
the great circles Of the spiral wind.
A tornado is only a thunderstorm
gone wrong. Both result from the
rapid rise of moist and heated air into
cooler strata. The great, doomed
"thunderheads" which glow with
coppery luster in the sky near sunset
in the summertime are masses of
vapor, condensed by the cool upper
air from the warm, uprushing cur
rent. When circumstances are such
that this air movement takes place
about vertical instead of horizontal
axis tornado results. The rapidity
of the air movement near the center
is tremendous. An active tornado of
small diameter revolves twenty-five
times a second. Its destructive
power is thus easily understood.
Tornadoes only form in prairie
regions. Mountain ranges break up
the kind of air movements necessary
to "breed" them. They are practi-
cally unknown in the tropics. Mar
row continents like South America
do not have them; the "cyclone' or
general spiral movement toward the
center of low pressure, moves off the
land before it developes to the point
where the tornado has chance to
form.
Their occurrence is unpredictable.
Many of the most interesting facts
concerning them cannot be observed.
Their strength can only be guessed
at, since no instrument known could
survive the ordeal of an attempt to
record it. They are fearful and
wonderful examples of an inscrutable
and uncomfortable power. The affect

upward limit being a few thousand

Will Increase Pea Crop.

BOHEMIAN, Feb. 2.-That the indus
try of raising peas in the Gallatin is
destined to become 40 important one
is indicated by the fact that the COM
ing season will see more that 10, 600
acres planted to that crop. A few
weeks ago it was announced that the
acreage would reach 1000. but the in
crease in contracts has been so rapid
that the higher number is now named
and ever that may fall below the &C.
tual number.
There are now five companies oper'
ating in the valley, all contracting
with the farmers to take all the peas
they raise At q certain price, varying
from % to $3.50 per bushel. Las
year the experiment was started will
only one company in the field and
otal of 1900 acres was devoted to tht
new crop. A. j. Wslrsth, chairman
of the horticultural committee of thu
chamber Of commerce, is largely res
ponsible for the success and thorough
ness of the experiment last year
Walter Cooper, president OF the same
body, was also instrumental in start
ing the industry.

ALL SHOULD REGISTER.

While residents of the northern part
OF Chouteau county have registered

the matter appears to be neglected by

The school district elections and NUM-
cipal elections the first week in April
will be conducted under the new law,
only those who have been registered
being entitled to vote. The necessity
of giving early attention to the sub
