Last Days OF P0mpeii," an Eight
Reel Pasquali Feature.

The story from Which this photo
drama was adapted, is admirably suited
10 the purpose for various reasons.
chief among which is the presence OF
a sympathetic character. the blind
girl Nydia, throughout the action.
| This character was created after
conversation in which reference was
made to the utter darkness that ac
companied the first recorded eruption
OF NeSuVluS. 1t was a condition in
which the blind would be most favored
from their ability TO find their way TO
deliverance through the guidance of
other senses. To her affection is
added an intolerable condition Of
slavery and an unreQuited love for
Glaucus, the young and noble Greek
who rescued her from persecution
Glacus loves sweet lone and gives
her his blind slave Nydia, and it thus
happens that the latter is compelled
to hear the man She adOres make love
TO another woman There is also
high tension created when GlaucuS is
falsely accused Of murder and con
demned 10 ignOminiOus death in an
arena before thousands of PompeiauS,
the real murderer gloating over tile
prospect OF seeing the man beloved by
lone torn to pieces, and the lions en-.

MISSOURI HEN KEEPS BUSY

Ny tne ldTI1tTS anu pouItTy Tdin-
ers of Missouri, according to ten
tative figures on this industry
given out for publication last
week by Commissioner John r.
Fitzpatrick Of the bureau of la
Dor statistics.
The bulletin of this interesting
and thrifty industry goes on to
state that the shipments of poul-
try, eggs and feathers from the
ia counties of the state to the
larger markets, which include st.
Louis, Kansas City, st. Joseph,
Chicago, Cleveland, Memphis,
Philadelphia, Washington, New
York and Boston for the same
year were worth $30,9O2,416.
These figures are record break
crs and therefore mean that Mis-
souri, is still the poultry queen
of the Union" a title which was
bestowed four years ago when
Missouri took first rank for this
industry over all other states.
The calculations of the bureau
of labor statistics on the poultry
industry of Missouri are based on
the quantity of chickens, turkeys,
ducks, geese, eggs and similar
products shipped from the cities,
towns and villages of the state
during the year 1912. Of live
poultry the shipments amounted
to 94,O56,61 pounds, which at 10
cents a pound, was worth $9,405,-
661.
1t is figured by A. T. Edmon-
stOn, supervisor OF statistics of
the bureau of labor statistics, that
this quantity represented only
two-fifths of the poultry actually
sold by the farmers. C%onserva-
tive estimates indicate that an
other fifth was sold in the cities
and towns of the counties in
which the poultry r~aisers live,
leaving two-fifths for the con-
sumption of the families of the
producing farmers and for prop
agation purposes. This places the
total sales at 141,OS4,91S pounds
and the worth at $l4,110,S49.
OF dressed poultry the ship
ments from the ia counties of
the state amounted to 41,23S,494
pounds, worth $5,154,S12. 1t was
estimated that much more was
sold locally by the farmers, or a
total of S2.476,9SS pounds, worth
$40 ,309, 624.
The huge item of all is eggs,
this commodity bringing in more
than all poultry did, both in live
or dressed form. The shipments
amounted to 105,575.757 dozen,
which, at Is cents a dozen, a low
wholesale value for the year
around, made them worth $15,-
S36,364. II was further stated in
the bulletin covering the poultry
industry of Missouri that there
were sold locally by farmers and
poultry raisers 52,7S7,S7S more
dozen. When the shipments and
home consumption of eggs are
added together, it gives sales
amounting to 15S, 363,631 dozen
valued at 2 3,754,545.
A feather does not weigh much
and has little value, but when
the shipments of this downy pro-
duet from the ia counties of the
state for 1912 reach a weight of
l,263,949 pounds, then this por-
ton of the poultry industry be-
comes a large item, since the
value of the quantity mentioned
is placed at $505,579.
Every county in Missouri is
now a poultry producer, but the
Ozark section takes the lead in
quantity produced and value.
Greene county, with Springfield
as the center, ranks first for 1912
in the quantity of eggs shipped
out. Returns from the railroads
and express agents there show
