LIeutenant.eovernor Amendment.

Proposed Amendment No 16 pro
vides for the election Of a lieutenant
governor, who shall be chosen for =
term Of two years,
Some doubt has been expressed CON
cerning the wording Of the act Gre
ating the new office and an effort was
made to prevent Secretary Of state
Earle w, Hodges from certifying u
out,
The clause which some contend may
render the act imperative follows;
"The governor and lieutenant gov
ernor elected at the next preceding
election to the time when this section
shall take effect, shall hold office un'
I'll and including the second Monday
OF September, and their successors
shall be chosen at the general election
In that year"
This might be interpreted II has
been pointed out, ~ an effort TO
change the time for beginning and
ending the term OF office for gov
ernor. The governor now takes his
office on the first Of January after his
election, It was the wording OF this
clause also that resulted In candi'
date offering for the office Of lleutea'
ant governor, believing he could be
elected at the same election at which
the act Is submitted.

The Department of Agriculture is
very active in the protection Of the
consumers against poor feed. Last
Saturday alone five tons and half
Of mouldy, short-weight, or inferior
feed was taken off the market, as fol
lows:
300 pounds corn chops at Arkan-
sas City-mouldy, hot and tit only for

ma, short in weight pounds.
1,4OO pounds wheat bran, at Marian
na, hot and mouldy.
1000 pounds corn chops at Junction
City, Q 10 pounds short.
In explaining this action on the part
Of the department Commissioner
Page says; 1--WE have many reports
daily of our inspectors finding hot,
mouldy and rotten corn chops II Is
very important that the greatest care
be exercised in handling chops at this
season OF the year The local dealer
Is not at fault unless he carelessly
stores the chops where not enough
air can get to IT, and the manufacturer
Is not at fault unless the goods go
out In that condition. The same trou'

tended a community meeting at Dan
vile of farmers, business men and
road overseers. The purpose Of the
conference was the discussion of plans
for the general development of that
section, to stimulate greater interest
in progressive farming and local i'm

possible the latent forces for the ad-
vancement Of the community, T. l..

Last week Mr.. Page attended the

Last year Is new buildings were erec-
ted, including new dormitories for
boys and girls, also silo and barns.
"The school has a beautiful site OF
400 acres a mile and a half from Mag

of the school has proven a great bene-

Of farming throughout the section
and in portions Of Ouachita, Columbia

more attention to the proper growing
Of melons, cabbage and peanuts,
There is a cooperative association
at Mt Holly, in Dallas county, where
many farmers have almost entirely
abandoned cotton and are engaged in
diversified farming with especial at
tention to melons and cabbage Only
two weeks ago the department had an
appeal from the association to find a
market for cabbage, and we told them
where 1t might be sold. We have a
letter from the secretary announcing
that they had made the sales through
the assistance of the department, and
had found customers who express
themselves as highly pleased,
"In the vicinity Of Bearden, also, a
great deal OF attention is being given
to the growing Of cabbage, potatoes,
melons, and peanuts. The Southern
part of the state is especially adapted
to the growing Of sweet potatoes, and
several hundred acres will be raised

While there is nothing romantic
and political about crude piece of
zinc ore, statistics covering the 1913
Missouri output Of this valuabel metal
become interesting when the asscr-
ton is made that the state contains
the richest known zinc deposit in eX-
istcncc, it being located in Southwest
Missouri. with Joplin as the center,
extending in all directions throughout
Jasper county into other counties to
the north, east and south and west
ward, and into Oklahoma and Kan
sas, and even into Arkansas.
Here and there throughout the
Ozarks zinc deposits near the surface
are being worked and money easily
earned by the operators. lndlca-
tions are that there is more or less
zinc in many counties Of south cen
trail Missouri, which will be discov-
cred as soon as all mining land there
j., taken up and thoroughly prospect
ed.
The Bureau Of Labor Statistic, in
% bulletin given out for publication
to-day by Commissioner John T. Fitz-
patric, asserts that the 1913 produc-
ton of zinc concentrates was 2iS, 43i
tons, worth, IN this crude form, &c.
GGi,I2l. This quantity when smelt-
cred and refined into speltcr made
l2t,9f3 tons, valued at $l3,99. 1856, or
about enough money to put a deep
channel in the Mississippi River from
The month of the Missouri to the
Gulf Of Mexico. In 1913 Missouri
produced more zinc concentrates than
did all other zinc producing states and
Mexico combined. The production,
year before, due to low price mar
kct.
The 1913 Missouri output of zinc
consisted Of 226,S5O tons of sphalter-
itc concentrates, valued at $9,l00,960,
