St LOUIS HAPPENINGS

Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock
at the Odd Fellows temple was held
the mass meeting called together by
f. {. Goodyear for the purpose OF
obtaining an elevator for this city
The direct purpose of an elevator for
this city is more trade and better
prosperity for the city in general
Many questions of the high cost OF
living were discussed and found to
be entirely on the farmer in market
ing his products, that is he should
demand higher price and cut the
middleman out of the game. Many
business men attended the meeting
and all were called to give their
opinion on the cooperative system.
1t is the opinion of many business
men that the elevator will be a sue
cess. A meeting will be called again
next week TO determine what the
next step will be.

The whistle is a welcome factor
three times a day in the hopes of
many of our residences for the rea-
son that the various housewives have
been without something to tell the
time of day by and also serves as a
correction of their clocks and time
pieces. However we are glad to
hear its melodous tone and welcome
it as an everlasting feature in our
daily routine of life
