day at B, sos. This is 4 points above the
average OF the lowest prices touched by
these bonds in June. . 1-2 points up from
the end of Juno, IL points up from July,
but shows no advance for the fifteen
days since the end of August
The opinion avanced for some time
past by practically all bond men and
financia! writers that good bonds are
cheap seems to be bringing results in an
increased demand for Investment securi-
ties. Those who held of. fearing that We
were running into a panic. are now be-
ginning to revise their views. With cas-
ing Of the money tension abroad, follow
ing tie ending OF hostilities in the Bal
kans, and likelihood of some let-up in
general business in this country next
year, due to smaller crops and tariff and
currency adjustments, many bankers
look for increased funds for investment
purposes
Whether bonds are going any great
distance back over the ground they have
covered in their decline since the 3 1-2 per
cent issues of the late nineties and early
twentieth century is a question well
worthy of study. Many factors are in
volved. and at best only conjectures can
be made. The great governing factor
the price of money-is the hardest to de-
termine. The best authorities attempt TO
predict only a few months ahead as to
its course. There are factors, however,
which influence the price of money and
the long-trend of bond values, about
which fairly definite conclusions can be
drawn.
Among factors which afford ground
for belief that funds available for in
vestment will continue to increase are
the completion of many large works
which will soon become productive. and
letBp in the investment Of funds in works
that will never show a return. For eX-
ample, the Panama canal, which has
taken about 1000, is nearly COM
pleted. The Pennsylvania Railroad re-
Gently finished its New York City station,
in which over OOOOO.OOO is invested. and
this is only one of numerous expensive
terminals which will not be duplicated
for a time at least. The high cost of
money to corporations is thus working its
own correction of the investment situa-
tion. A reduced use Of funds in unpro-
ductive or only moderately productive
ways on the part of corporations rich
enough to command them will leave
more for the necessary development work
of the weaker companies; and with a
larger supply the cost TO the companies
should be less
Personal use of funds. however in
more or less eXtravagant ways which are
unproductive has as yet shown no sign
Of letup. The amount spent for automo-
biles is still making new records. And
the high cost OF living as we'll as the
cost of high living is taking more of
the peoples income each year. A change
here would have the most direct effect
on the amount of available investment
funds, but il is not to be expected that
people will forsake extravagant living
until a curtailing Of income itself-torces
economy"

STATE FAIR PREMIUM LISTS.

The county clerk has just received
a number OF copies of the Missouri
State Fair premium list for 1913.
These are for free distribution in the
county and any one may secure them
by calling at the county clerks
office, or writing the secretary of the
Missouri State Fair, Sedalia.
The premium list shows increase
in premiums over previous years
which means that the State Fair is
growing. One especially noticeable
thing in this years premium list, on
page S, is the establishment of Il
Boys State Fair School. This new
feature promises to be one of great
value to every part of the State, as
one boy from each county will be en-
tertained by the State Fair and will
get one week Of instruction and prac-
teal training in the most up.to.date
methods of farming and stockraising.
Many other features have been
added The dates for the State Fair
this year are September y to Octo-

Champ Clark's Humanity

Miss Gcnevicve Clark, the bright
witted daughter Of Speaker Clark,
being asked for her ideal of a man,
promptly answered my father
and being asked her reason gave
for one, because he is so intensely
human" This human side Of
Champ Clark, aside from his ac-
knowledged ability and scrupulous
honesty In public service, has had
much to do with the popularity
which he enjoys in his congressional
district. He keeps in close touch
with his people, and this is said to
be one way in which he manages to
forty-six papers published in the
district, and he has his private sec
rotary to read all these papers and
to report to him items of interest to
him. II n child is born to friend
in the district n letter of cOngratu-
lations is at once forwarded to the
parents; If there liz death in the
home Of a friend, words OF sympathy
and coincidence are forwarded to the
bereaved ones, and 80 on down the
line. And it is In this way that Mr..
Clark keeps In close touch with the
people of his district. And it is no
wonder that IL is useless for any
man to oppose him for congress as
long as he wants to bold the office.

The past year has been very sue

college which has successfully
trained hundreds of young men and

Kind friend, whenever you hear q

the great blessings IL
has brought to the many homes of
this community, you had better give
that individual the liberty of "going

he is q menace and a detriment to
the welfare and best interests of

Senator Cummins asserts that If
Democratic Congressman were not
hampered by a party pledge the
schedules of the tariff bill would
be changed materially from their
present form. This matter of
standing by party pledges is so
foreign to the practice of the Re-
publican party that one is not
astonished to hear a Republican
decrying it. If Senator Cummlns
will refresh his memory he will not
have far to 60 to learn that failin e
to keep party pledges IL what
wrecked his party.
