MANY USES TO WHICH ADHE-
sIvE PLASTER MAY BE PUT

"A little forethought will provide
adhesive plaster for many other
emergency uses in the household
outside of the sick-room. Labels
for bottles and jars can be made Of
IL, since the name is easily printed
in ink, and the whole label may be
removed with no effort when 1t is
outgrown. A hot water bottle can
be mended with adhesive plaster.
In fact, any rubber hose, or con.
tainer, may have its life prolonged
by IL. Even IA three-cornered tear

invisible when pressed in place over

shade is pulled of the roller adhe-
sive plaster will put 1t back strongly
and neatly. And when l have q
corn or tender spot on my foot,
said the trained nurse who sug-
gested some of these uses, a little
patch of adhesive plaster is a great
comfort and protection from chat
ing A binding strip of adhesive
plaster is invaluable for sheet mu-
sic that is much in use. Manu-
scripts, too, can be fastened togeth-
er at the top with broad band OF it.
"Strips of adhesive plaster are
splendid for training plants, such as
ivy or other vines, against house
foundation; for fastening rose
bushes or tomato vines to the sup
porting frames, or for any use in
the garden when string or wire
would cut the tender, growing
stalks"

General Burleson

Postmaster General Burleson
last Saturday announced some
changes to be made in the parcel
post service about the 18th of Au-
gust. They include an increase in
the maximum number of pounds
that may be sent from eleven TO
twenty, with material reduction
in the postage rates, and a rate
chart or zone individualized TO
every post Office to be substituted
for the present zone system. He
says that while the maximum
weight limit of 90 pounds and re.
ductiOn of rates will apply only to
the first and second zone from any
given post otlice-a distance Of
about $50 miles-the change con.
stitutes the first long step toward
a universal extension Of the system
and a general reduction in the
rates. 1t is his expectation that
eventually the postal service will
handle practically all the small
package business in the United
States-it may be fifteen years, he
says-and the maximum weight
limit may be extended to 100
pounds. This would knock ont
the express companies and boost
the mail order houses. What it
might do to the country merchant
aud to the business of small towns
generally is not pleasant to con.
template.

Louis Republics Tuesday
edition under the caption Tive
Missouri Mining Districts" in
which it contrasts the mining con-
ditions in this county with those
in the Joplin district. What il
has to say of the lower wages paid
miners here is true, and that they
are justified in demanding an in
crease is generally conceded, un.
less it be among the mine owners
themselves. The Republic, in It's
contrast of conditions here and the
leasing method or mining on roy
atty that prevails in the Joplin dis
trict, labors under the misappre.
hension that the character or for
nation of the ore deposits are sim.
liar in the two districts. 1t says:
In Southeast Missouri four
great companies own all the land
and do all the mining. In South
west Missouri there is no central
lied landownership and there is no
great controlling company. In
place of four big corporations there
are approximately 400 small COM
panies in Southwest Missouri. In

you never hear of a group of min
ers who have saved their money,
leased small acreage. developed a
prospect of their own and become
operators themselves. This is an
inpossibility in Southeast Mis-
souri,, because the miner cannot
lease any land
What the Republic says is an
impossibility in Southeast Missouri
is practically true, but not for the
reason that mining land cannot be
leased or worked on royalty, but
because of the peculiar mineral
formation of this district. The
lead ores of this county are dis.
seminated with limestone and lie
from 200 to 500 feet beneath the
surface. To sink a shaft to reach
this ore costs from $4,000 up,
and after it is reached expensive
machinery is required to hoist the
rock to the surface. and then more
expensive crushing and concentrate

ing mills, the least cost of which is
in the neighbOrhoOd of IA million
dollars, are required to separate
the lead ore from the rock into
concentrates and get it ready for
the smelter. That is why men of
small means or miners cannot form
small companies, lease land and
mine it themselves. There is still
prospective mineral lands in this
county that are not owned or con-
trolled by the four big companies,
and there was n time when placer
or surface mining was done in this
and Washington counties, but that
day is far in the past.
The zine and lead ores of the
Joplin district lie closer to the sur
face, are more easily worked, and
do not require the expensive ma
chinery and mills to get them
ready for market, as does the dis
seminated lead ore of this district.

ing on royalty by small companies
is practicable; here it is not. 1t

THERE is n movement on foot
to petition the County Court to
call special election to sub
NIT to the voters of the county the
question of local option. The coun-
ty unit law enacted by the Legisia-
tnre having been suspended by the
invocation of the referendum until
il may be passed upon by the people
at the next general election, Farm
ington, having IA population Of more
than $500, would have to vote sepa-
rately, If it voted at all on the ques-
ton at this time. 1t Is the only in
corpOrated town in the county with
n population of 900 or more. So,

pie Of our town should elect not to
petition for local option election
or electing to do so and failing to
carry the town dry" which
many fear would be the result,
Pennington would be the one spot
in the county upon which every man
who wanted to engage In the liquor
business would have his eye, and
saloons In the town would multiply.
This would make Pennington the
rendezvous for roistering and drink
ing crowds who would flock here
from the mining towns for their
sprees and drunken orgies, as well
AS for those thOughtless young men
and boys from the farms who fool
ishly imagine that to swagger around
saloon and excite their brains
with alcohol is the only way to
"have good time" Under such
conditions one may easily imagine
that Pennington would not be the
quiet place it now is. 1t was to
guard against just such situation
that the county unit law was enact
ed.
OF course, II Pennington should
hold an election 1t might go dry,
though the probabilities are against
1t, but II the county should hold an
election and go dry, which Is quite
probable, the town would be com
PEELED to hold one and attempt to
escape the condition which the
county's going dry would thrust up
on IL. II II should fail to go dry,
then 1t would have to remain for
the next four years the Sod0m and
Gomorrah of the county for the
liquor traffic, even ifthe county unit
law should be ratified by the people
at the next general election, which
we believe 1t will be.
That is the situation which To-
cal option election under the pres
ent law would force Pennington to
face, and even the dry portion of
the county outside of our town
would reap little or no practical
benefit, for the people who now re-
sort to the saloons in other places
would come here, load themselves
down with bottles and jugs and
carry the rain-distorting stuff out
to the mines and farm neighbor-
hoods 20 tempt and debauch others
as well as themselves. And this
for four years! Would it not I'M
der such probabilities be better and
wiser for our good people to season
their zeal with little patience for
another year and a half until the
county unit law is ratified by the
people at the next general election,
and then hold an election under 1t,

Man OF Mystery.

Caldwell county lost a man Of
mystery when Friday" died at the
county farm last week. Friday"
rode up to the farm on stick horse
one Friday afternoon twenty-seven
years ago, and thus he got his name.
He was well dressed, and his whis-
kers were neatly trimmed. Fred,
the small son OF the superintendent,
ID. A. King, was riding on a stick
horse down the road, when the
strange man stepped from clump
of bushes, prepared stick, and
mounting IL, rode beside the boy.
He was middle-aged at that time.
He could hear, but could not or did
not talk. He remained at the farm,
and was for years companion OF
the boy who had taught him to ride
a stick horse. There were no marks
about his clothing. His identity
could not be fathomed, and in all of
this time his sole name has been
