J. n. Adams Sells Out.

A. B. Cole & Sons Produce &
Supply Company of California, Mis-
souri,, has purchased the poultry plants
at Upton and Versailles, from Mr.. ].
NJ. Adams, of Boonville.
Mr.. Adams has been associated
and interested in the poultry business
in Upton and Versailles for over sew
en- years and during this time has
built up very'large business at these
places, and is retiring from them in
order to give more time to the Boon
vile territory. A. b. Cole & Sons, is
an incorporated company, doing
business under the laws of the state
of Missouri, and owning and operat-
ing plants at California, Jefferson
City, and Russellv,lle, and with this
last purchase, is extending its busi-
ness into Upton and Versailles.
The central plant of this company
is located at California, and will
cooperate with the other plants. 1t
will be necessary at certain seasons Of
the year to centralize all the poultry
where it can be milk-fed, dressed,
and properly cooled and packed for
the Eastern markets. This will be
done at California where their ice
plant, cold storage and creamery
is located. While at other seasons
each plant will be a carlot shipping
station. With these improved facili-
ties for handling and marketing poul-
try, butter, eggs, and other produce
the A. B. Cole company, will be abba
to pay the full market value at all
times. While the trade along the
lines, will doubtless regret losing
MIR. Adams, we do net doubt but
what they will find in thh A. b. Cole
& Sons, worthy successors, who not
only handle. poultry, butter and egg.
but several other products in additio n
Mr.. Adams, in retiring from these
two points wishes to thank the mer
chants, farmers, and trade in genera
for the generous support which has
always been given his business, also
to bespeak for his successors tn
; same liberal patronage. - Californi

ONLY A FEW LIVE
TOBE 100 YEARS OLD

BOSTON, March 13-One hundred
years should be the average age Of
man, according to DR.. Frank Ellsworth
Allard, a professor at the Boston Uni
versity Medical school. Asked today to
explain, he said
There are thousands of wonderland
not a few men-whose health is being
sapped by the habits of idleness and
gossip. These people are lazy, mental
ly and physically, and their viewpoint
on life is purely personal and usually
petty. Laziness gives rise to sluggish
livers and unhealthy habits of intro
spection, which in turn breed neuras-
thenia and imaginary ills, that become
real so far as the sufferings of the pa
tient are concerned"
