THE BUSY RICH
They are Composed of Three Glasses,
An Editor Explains.

/ Jack Blanton, the clear-thinkine
and sweet-souled editor of the Paris,
NO., Appeal, nails another fallacy:
Sorry, Bud, but we can't write an
article about the idle rich. We don't
know of any rich of that sort. The
three classes we have had dealings
with consisted of those who were try
ing to get richer, those who were
struggling hard to keep their riches
and those who were burning the can
die at both ends in frantic efforts to
spend their riches. Most any minister
of country editor will tell you, Bud,
that idle hours are as unknown to the
man who has much wealth as to the
one who has surplus ofchiggers and
shortage of nails.

Flour mills in Popular Bluff, are
working night and day to keep up
with the large orders for export
flour. One mill received an order
last week for 1900 barrels for Goth
enburg, Sweden, to be loaded on the
steamer, King Arthur, which sails
from New Orleans the latter part of
next week. Another mill has an Or
der for 1900 barrels for Germany for
a ship sailing October 2. An order
for $500 barrels has just been filled.
Since the beginning of the war, it is
estimated 10000 barrels of flour
have been shipped from Southe asst
Missouri to the warning nations.
A-compromise measure embracing
parts of the workmen's compensation
law, as proposed by the State Senate
Commission, was Endorsed Sept. II,
by the Missouri State Federation of
of Labor. BY the measure adopted
the employer would have to pay GER
tain compensation without the neces-
sity Of court proceedings, Woman's
suffrage was unanimously indor sed
and the constitutional amendm ent
which would change the initiative and
