Chicago, June S-The sessions of the Republican national committee, which are being held in rooms in the Coli
 scum, are unusually important this year. Colonel Roosevelt gained point when a resolution was adopted permitting representatives of the news associations to attend the hearings of contests. but he lost in the effort to permit representatives of all newspap- CTS to be present. Politicians from every state are here for the prelirh- mary skirmishing. Ormsbe McHarg is one of the Roosevelt boomers, who is looking after the interests of the former president. Gordon Ramsay is another politician who is busy inter- viewing the committeeman and dele- gates who are on the ground early.

Bryan's Lectures.

Many people from Monroe City
and vicinity heard Bryan either at
Shelbina or Palmyra. At each
place he was greeted with large au-
diences and his lecture The Max
ing of Man" was full of thought
and calculated to make people stop,
think and much good will result.
He does not have the snap and vim
as in former days but this more
than likely is caused by the fact
that he is delivering two, three or
more lectures each day. He will
close his Chautauqua dates Sept. 7
and on the 18th start on his politi-
cal tour. He is a man of great in
fluence and has done much good
for humanity in his work for the
uplifting of character and. citizen
ship and for the great battles he
has fought for the rights of the peo-
pie.

In a Newspaper Mans Life.

With the job of the newspaper
man travels a silent companion.
Trouble is his name and Worry is
his sister. Seven days of six old
man Trouble is on the job and the
rest of the time his sister looks af-
ter his interest. The newspaper
man is between the Devil and the
deep blue sea during his waking
hours and the chances are that his
dreams are disturbed by gaunt spec
tiers of the days events. If he asks
questions he is impertinent, and. if
not he does not know his business.
If he is observant he is nosey, and
if not he cannot deliver the goods.
If he hangs around he is in the way
and if not something is sure to hap
pen while he is away. He must de-
pend on Others for information and
if he does they forget to tell him.
If he honors official requests to sup
press that story about Bill Jones
because Bills first wife was a Sec
ond cousin of a dear friend of
Soandso, he is a good fellow, but he
is not doing his duty to his paper
or to the public. He depends on
the official for his information but
he depends on the paper for his
salary. If he suppresses the story
he is looking for another job, and if
he does not he does not get the
news.
A preacher in Los Angeles once
delivered a violent sermon in which
he denounced the newspapers and
all of those connected with them as
liars and crooks. The next day they
offered him the city editors desk of
one of the greatest dailieS in order
that he might see the conditions
under which newspaper was
made. He held down the desk two
hours and then made a public apol-
ogy, saying that men who would
work day in and day out under
such strain as did the staff of a
newspaper were almost inhuman
and due allowance should be made
if they make Observation-Disclosures

Missouri Live Stock.

The browning feature of the
Missouri State Fair, September
% TO October 4, is the live stock
exhibition, and during the last
eleven years the Directors of the
Fair have been successful in hav-
ing stock shows equal to those
Of any Fair in the whole country
The influence of the stock exhi-
tions year after has been made ap-
parent throughout the state by the
raising of better grades of horses,
cattle and swine. The size of the
herds have been increased and,
with the improvement of the breeds
the total valuation of Missouri live
stock has been wonderfully increas-
ed as is shown annually by the sta
tistics gathered by the State Board
of Agriculture, the census takers
and the county assessors.
The value of horses and colts in
Missouri in 1900 equalled $42095,-
900 and in 1910 it had increased to
113708,000, showing the wonderful
increase of ITO per cent. Durin 6
the same period the value of mules
increased from $15,482,000 to $4,-
100000 an increase of 1870 per cent.
During the ten year period the val
ue of swine was increased from
$16,534,OOO to $31,879,000 and
sheep from $3,351,0OO to $7,875,-
600.
The exhibition of the best cattle
of all breeds, the best draft and
light horses, the popular breeds of
swine and sheep, year after year,
has had a gratifying educational
influence upon the breeders and
farmers of Missouri. Stock of al |
kinds has been improved and the
the census of 1920 will show that
the value of live stock has increas-
four-fold over that of the previous
ten years.
The mule show at the State
Fair each year is larger and better
than at any Fair in the United
States, probably for the reason
that Missouri raises more mules
and better ones than any other
state of the Union. The mule
show =. is always interesting and
instructive, demonstrating to what
a degree of perfection can be reach
ed by careful and scientific breed
ing.

THE TARIFF IN SUMMER DRESS FOR HOT

England for 2-3 cents yard is sold by the

cloth that in England can be bought retail

WHY?
Cotton curtain scrlm, found in millions OF

the manufacturer ample profit, selling It to
the print works at cents a yard. The print

down the curtain scrim to the department
store at 12R cents. The retailer charges the
American housewife 10 to 20 cents More than
likely he advertises 1t as IMPORTED" and
sells it for the top price because the tariff
is so high that the genuine imported goods
cannot be sold for less. 1t costs just as much
