magazine, In an illustrated article
This advancement in motion picture
photography has been attained by
tho employment Of two distinct
methods of producing intense light
one of which. in this application, is
entirely new. 1t was because Of the
efficiency of these agencies that
pictures, hitherto almost impossible
for the split-second camera to catch
have been made. The manifold &C
tivities constantly going on beneath
the surface of the earth, the toll OF
the miner, the beauties of caverns
the traffic under the streets of cities
and the underground phases of en-
cheering. which in the past have
been described only with type and
still pictures, now constitute a new
field open to the picture

Free Trade Benefits 10 WhOm7

The important figures under the
new tariff law show that our impor-
tations Of foreign products have in
creased over a million dollars day,
These figures relate to the period be-
fore the outbreak Of the European
war when conditions were normal and
the free trade law was working with
out hinderance.
Thd new law is distinct benefit to
practically every foreign country.
Germany and Great Britain alone are
are sending US four million dollars
worth Of goods more month than
they did before Mr.. Underwood's bill
became law and our imports from
Italy, France, Belgium, Switzerland,
The Netherlands and Turkey have
all tremendously increased. South
America in her dealings with US gains
about six million dollars a month,
Canada is selling US four million
dollars worth more a month, Mexico
is gaining about three million a month
and the Central American States are
are increasing their sales here by
third.
These are the benefits that the
Wilson Underwood Free Trade Law
is bringing to foreign nations, but how
about our own? Our exports to
foreign nations have been falling of
as rapidly as their imports here have
been increasing. What benefit are
we deriving from this legislation Is
business better in any line than before

How TO Save a Million

II every Missouri farmer will read
these words from the State Board OF
agriculture and follow this practical
advice, the result viii be the saving Of
a million dollars. The advice is this:
Put the farm machinery in the dry.
On thousands Of farms the straw rots
in the field as the iarm machinery
stands In the rain and snow-a straw
shed will save the farm implements.
Axle grease, hard oil, heavy oils
and tallow, or paint, should be used
on all securing parts oi all machines
aud such iorethought will add to the
efficiency Of next springs farming.
Put all farm machinery in the dry"
and you will save more money than
your "a share Of that more than
million dollars OF Missouri money that
will be lost on the more than 250,000
Missouri farms il all the machinery
stands out this winter. The Republi-
can advises you TO act to day, no,
even putting this matter off until to-
morrow.

Buying each day an additional
million dollars oil foreign merchandise,
and selling abroad that much less each
day, means a tremendous drain on
our stock Of money. 1t means that
the product Of the loreign factory is
displacing the product Of our own; it
means that foreign labor is employed
while American labor remains idle and
it means a continuation OF the present
widespread business depression un-
til the restoration 10 power OF Repub-
lican Party, and the Inauguration OF
that sound American principle ol
protection to American industries.

The corn binder is an expensive
machine with an annual depreciation
II ten per cent in value. Hence the
necessity OF conserving and prolong-
ng its life.

More Pork With Less Corn

Is it possible for the farmesr Of
Missouri to make more money out Of
the corn which they feed 10 hogs2
1t can be done in two ways.
First by feeding better class Of hogs,
/. e., using more perfect machines for
converting corn into pork snd second
by methods Of feeding which will pro.
duce the largest amount Of pork from
a given amount Of corn.
For fattening hogs, corn is almost
indispensable in this State. Corn
alone, however, is not complete ra-
tion. 1t is deficient in protein and
ash, two nutrients which are necessary
for the building Of mucle and bone.
In order then to balance a corn ration,
leeds must be added which are high
in elements which corn lacks. Some
oi the supplements best suited for this
purpore are tankage, linseed oil meal,
skim milk and wheat middings. No
animal can produce pork efficiently
unless complete ration is supplied.
In a ration consisting Of ten parts corn
aud one part tankage, one pound OF
tankage will save about four pounds OF
corn. This makes a ton of tankage
worth around $500 with corn at 60c
a buShel. Likewise in ration COM
posed Of parts linseed oil meal and
l part corn, one ton of the oil meal
is worth about $4,000 to $500.
While wheat middlipgs is ordinarily
4 more expensive supplement than
either tankage or oil meal, a ration O
)f 2 parts corn and | part wheat
is more economical than
corn fed alone. Skim milk is a very
efficient supplement and when it can |
be had it will materially cheaper the |
ration i! 8 to 5 pounds Of milk be fed !
with each pound oil grain.
The above proportions are by |
weight rather than measure and are |
given on the basis Of Sc pounds OF
shelled corn TO the bushel. II ear
corn is fed, allowence must be made |
for the extra weight Of the cob.

The Grain WesViI

Complaints are coming into the
Office Of the State Board Of Agricul
ture, Columbia, Missouri, that the
grain weevil is doing injury to wheat
in granaries and elevators in many in
stances where it has not been moved
since being threshed. Professor c. B.
Hutchinson advises fumigating with
carbon bi-sulphide in tight granary,
bin or box. Use in proportion OF ten
pounds to each thousand cubic feet OF
space. Pour liquid in shallow dish
and set on top Of grain, closing bin
tightly for one TO two days. Avoid
breathing the gas, which is dangerous
to all life and is highly explosive under
certain conditions. Bar the pipe,
cigarette, lantern or fre-and do not
rlsk even spark rom driving nail.
The vapor or gas is more than twice as
heavy as air and will, in tight bin,
settle down into the grain. The
fluid is cheap and can be bought at
drug stores. Uncertain results may
be expected il bin or box is not tight
and not well covered.

increasing the farmers home market
and keeping at horne the money an
nually sent abroad to purchase the
foreign product.
How we'll the expectations Of the
Mckinley bill were realized is shown
BY the fact that the production of
American tin plate has grown from
2,236,74 pounds in 1891 to 2,l57,
055,000 pounds in 1912. During the
same period, the imports Of tin plate
decreased from 1886, 4S9, ,074 pounds
in 1891 to 6,113,2 ,253 pounds in 1912.
The tin plate industry has given work
at living wages to over 1900 Amer
ican employees, has enlarged the
home market Of the farmer, has kept
millions Of American dollars at home
and the price Of tin plate is lower
than when the Mckinley bill was
passed,
The establishment and development
Of this is due solely to Republican
Protective Tariff legislation. Can
Democracy in all its history show
single similar achievement Does it
boast now. or has it ever boasted Of
establishing or building up an industry

Contrast the obove record OF Repub-
licanism with the attitude OF Dem
ocracy as shown on the sugar ques-
tion. Under the present tariff law,
sugar is 10 be on the free list, an act
which will admittedly destroy the in
dustry in this country. When pro-
test was made to Mr.. Underwood by
the Louisiana sugar growers, that the
removal Of the tariff would destroy
their industry, he bluntly informed
them that il they could not exist
without tariff protection, they could 60
into other lines Of business. He was
not kind enough however, 10 indicate
which lines Of industry, under his free
trade law, would be prosperous enough |
to justify going into.
The American voter has the record !

political parties before him. The one
legislate to build up and develop, the
other legislstes to tear down and de-
destroy. Let him choose which |
policy shall be continued in this

American or Mexican Labor?

During July 1918, when the Payne
protective tariff law was in force, the
imports Of zinc ore amounted tu $50
tons. During July 1914. with the
Underwood free trade law in force, the
imports Of zinc ore amounted to 2,9 40
tons, or an increase in one month oil
2,2s8 tons.
During July 1918, under the Payne
paotective tariff law, the imports Of
lead ore amounted 10 25S tons, while
for July 1914, under the Underwood
free trade law, the imports Of lead ore
amounted to 1929 tons, or an in
crease in one month Of II, l8o tohS.
This increased importation Of foreign
ores has given increased labor to the
miners Of Mexico, but how about the
zinc and lead miners Of the Joplin and
other Missouri districts7 Mine after
mine has closed down and thousands
Of miners In Missouri are out Of EN-
ploYment as a direct result Of this free
trade law, which discriminates in favor
OF Mexican and against American labor,
and which was voted for by Senator
Stone and every democratic congress

Two Policies

With the passage Of the Mckinley
bill in 1890, a protective tariff was
placed on tin plate. No tin plate was
manufactured in this country at that
time and the avowed object Of the
tariff was the establishment Of the in

NOW IN EFFECT IN NINE STATES.

In great States the "Full Crew Law" is in full
force and effect. New York. Maryland Pennsylva-
mia, Arizona, Indiana, Arkansas, WASHINGTON, Cal
ifornia and New Jersey, have this law and rates
have not been raised in consequence.
Freight rates are regulated by the States and the
u. S. Interstate Commerce Commission, and they
are now as high as the railways can make them.
The "Full Crew Law" by preventing long freight
trains from being sent out on the road undermnnned
wrecks, giving relief to employees from the enormous
tax they now have upon them for burying their
dead and caring for their injured, giving them more
money to spend for the necessities and comforts Of
their families.
It will enable the railroads to reduce their losses
on destroyed equipment, road beds and freight. II
will save them from a tremendous loss incurred
when traffic is tied up. Reducing the amount paid
for damages on personal injuries. All of which viii
enable them TO save money and be in better posi-.
ton to reduce rates.
You are reminded of the fact that practically
every safety appliance, such as the Safety Car
Coupler, Air Brake, ETC., was secured because it
was first demand by the employees and the public.
We ask you, Mr. Voter, with an all too vivid reai-
zation Of what it to the men of hazardous
calling and to wives, mothers, fathers. children,
