Uhe sum OF 4ll0,UUU,OUU. Does
this hit youf
The consumers of wooden
goods in this country pay a
tariff tax Of $209,9 S2 ,493 per
year. This is equal to a per
capita tax Of $2.17. SO much
for Schedule K" Taft said
it was indefensible-but he We
toed a bill to repeal it.
The injuries sustained by
state Audltor John P. Gordon
u an automobile accident some
weeks ago are so seriously that
his friends fear he will be IN
able to take any part in the
campaign. But the Missouri
taxpayers who appreciate his
public services will look after
his interests at the polls in No
vember.
If John c. Mckinley is so
anxious to provide cheap school
books for the children, why
doesn't he advocate a reduction
in the prohibitive tariff on book
paper and printing Materials
Does he want these trusts to get
an additional graft out of the
State through that convict labor
printing plant?
The average tariff tax on cot
ton stockings is lilo per cent,
which you must pay, Or let
your children go barefooted. And
you are paying this tax, not to
the Government, but to Senator
H. F Lippitt of Rhode Island,
who is in the Senate for the pur-
pose of protecting the cotton
mill trust.
At their campaign opening in
st. Louis last Saturday the Re-
publican State Committee in
suited Governor Hadley by i'm
peaching his loyalty to his party,
Governor Hadley insulted Presi-
dent Taft by asking him to
make a pledge which would have
amounted to a plea Of guilty to
the Chicago fraud, and John G.
Mckinley insulted the public in
telligence by his plea for a con-
Wet labor printing plant.
Speaker John T. Barker, the
Democratic nominee for At
torney-General introduced a bill
to provide assistance for county
agricultural fairs. The Demo
cratic legislature passed the
bill. Governor Hadley vetoed
it. But, in the fact of that
veto, the State Republican can
didates now say speaking
: through their PLATFORM that

"WHY SHOULD l USE
 CUTICURA SOAP?"

There is nothing the matter with my skin, and I thought Cuticura Soap was only for skin troubles" True, it is for skin troubles, but it's great mis- sion is to prevent skin troubles. For more than a generation it's delicate emollient and prophylactic properties have rendered it the standard for this purpose. while it's extreme purity and refreshing fragrance give to it all the advantages of the best of toilet soaps. It is also invaluable in keeping the hands soft and white, the hair live and glossy, and the scalp free from dandruff and irritation.
 While its first cost is a few cents more than that of ordinary toilet soaps, it is prepared with such care and of such materials, that it wears to a wafer, often outlasting several cakes of other soap, and making it's use, in practice, most economical. Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and dealers everywhere. but the truth of these claims may be demonstrated without cost by senIing to "Cuticura," " Dept. l., Boston, for a liberal sam- pie cake, together with thirty-two page book on the skin and hair.

ON A PROFIT-SHARING GASlS
Managers Offer Most Generous, Still 1t Is Possible That the Greaser
 Rejected It.

 A certain Mexican had been ac- costing the manager several times and asking for job.
 Well, come over to my office," the boss told him finally, "and maybe I can fix up something with you"
 Now, I need a lot of postholes dug" he began.
 What will you give me?" asked the Mexican.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Little Rock.-Preparations for plant ing this seasons crops have been greatly delayed in this section of Ark ansas by the excessive rains of the declare they are unable to work and that nothing can be done before the rainy weather is over.
 The conditions are regarded as se- rious, especially because of the De- cessity for early planting of cotton in order to combat the boil weevil. Be- fore the advent of the boil weevil, the cotton planting season extended from April 15 to May b, but since the planters have had to contend with the weevil, the planting season extends from about April 1 to 15. Unless the present conditions are improved the planters will have difficulty, it is de- elared. in getting their ground ready to begin planting at that time.
 Corn planting usually begins about March s to 10, it is said, but little planting can be done in this locality for some time. The oats crop is usu- ally sowed in February, but this has been delayed.
 Comparatively little blowing has been done, where the most of it is usually done at this time of the year.
 We can't do anything at present" C. N. Alexander, planter at Scott's, said. "The fields are so wet that it is impossible to do any blowing or make any preparations for planting. We had planned to do great deal of extra blowing this spring in order to be in better shape to fight the boil weevil, but the heavy rains have made this impossible. Everything is very late now and we cant tell what the result will be-"

FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY Where the Winters Are Cold and the
 Shows Deep.

Writing from the vicinity David Harum made famous, Q man says that he was an habitual coffee drinker, and although he knew it was doing him harm, was too obstinate to give it up, till all at once he went to pieces with nervousness and insomnia, loss of ap- petite, weakness, and a generally used-up feeling, which practically un- fitted him for his arduous occupation, and kept him on a couch at home when his duty did not call him out.
 While in this condition Grape Nuts food was suggested to me, and began to use it. Although it was in the middle of winter, and the ther niometer was often below zero, almost my entire living for about six weeks of severe exposure was on Grape-Nuts food with a little bread and butter and a cup of hot water, till I was wise enough to make Postum my table bev- craze.
 After the first two weeks I began to feel better and during the whole winter I never lost trip on my mail route, frequently being on the road or hours at time.
 "The constant marvel to me was how a person could do the amount of work and endure the fatigue and hard ship as I did, on so small an amount of food. But I found my new rations so perfectly satisfactory that I have continued them-using both Postum and Grape-Nuts at every meal, and often they comprise my entire meal
 All my nervousness, irritability and insomnia have disappeared and healthy natural sleep has come back to me. But what has been perhaps the great est surprise to me is the fact that with the benefit to my general health has come a remarkable improvement in my eye-sight.
 If a good appetite. good digestion, good eye-sight, strong nerves and an active brain are to be desired, can say from my own experience, use Grape-Nuts and Postum." Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
