Ekk " DC OCGM AAAAl 0As
The ultimate aim of the Mis-
souri, State Fair is to enrich not
only the minds of Missourians

of the state as well. To that end
the bankers of Missouri are to
put on a demonstration of Mis-
souri's new banking act at the
State Fair this fall and show to
Missourians that while they are
accumulating money and their
lands and live stock are constant
ly growing in value that the fl
nancial institutions are keeping
pace with the times and making
it possible to Missouri's% constant
ly increasing wealth to be con-
served in Missouri's banks with
the maximum of safety. Mis-
souri's new state bank act is said
to be the model of the United
States and the exhibit at Sedalia
this fall will show how the exam
nations are conducted under it
and how all deposits are doubly
safeguarded. This will be one Of
the most unique exhibits at the
State Fair at Sedalia September

How Bookwormo Are tracked.


To guard the 100000 books in the
New York library against the raw
ages Of bookworms and other insects,
which feed upon the paper, the glue
on the backs, and the cloth and leath-
er bindings, a constant care is ex-
ercised, and a keen watch kept for
any evidence Of their activities. One
woman Is assigned exclusively to this
work. When treating the books, she
wears a huge apron which completely
covers her gown. A cheesecloth veil
protects her face against the germs
which Turk in the musty documents,
aud even the air she breathes is
screened against c%ontagion. Close
touch is kept with the health depart
ment, and books which have been re-
turned from infected areas are umi'
gated before being restored to circu'
lation.

Potash Discoveries Confirmed.

H
that indications of potash depos-
its had been discovered in the
Panhandle of Texas. Further in
vestigations have since been
made with the result that the
Texas Bureau of Geology has
found the discoveries so impor-
tant as to merit a special bulle-
tin that will attract international
attention.
The war in Europe shut off the
American importations of pot
ash causing a shortage that has
been keenly felt, and squirting
biologists to greater efforts to
find a scource of supply in this
country that would make the
agricultural and other industries
Independent of the German kali
mines, which now practically
control the worlds output. Pot
ash finds it's greatest use as fer
tilizer and American imports
have run as high as $11,000,000
a year.
Previous reports were based on
indications found in a well at
Spur, Texas, and at that time it
was thought the location Of the
deposits would be disclosed some
where in southwestern Okla
homa. Later investigation how
ever, leads to the belief that the
source of the potash is in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Amarillo,
Texas, this being based on
analysis of rock from borings at
Glenrio, Boden and Miller. Pot
ash bearing salts were found in
wells at these points at depths
so much shallower than the dis
coveries at Spur, that biologists
are convinced that they are now
near the source. Following is
quoted from the bulletin of the
, Texas Bureau of Geology:
Zone very significant feature

. found near, or in the upper part
of the principal salt beds explor'

BULL invADEs PARLoR.
Runaway Animal From Tiffin Play
Havoc in Iowa CITY Home.


Havoc in Iowa City Home.
Iowa City. July is.-Did you ever
see a bull in your parlor? The ]. J.
Shannon family did in theirs yester-
day.
A large and fierce looking black and
white bull broke loose from it's cap
tivity at Tiffin early yesterday morn
ing and proceeded to tear up things in
general enroute to Iowa City.
All along the road it ran thru fences,
gardens and fields. much to the dis
tress of the enraged farmers who ar
rived just little too late to capture
the ferocious beast. BY the time the
animal reached Iowa City a posse of
one-half. dozen so-called COWBOYS"
were madly pursuing the invader who,
finding the Burlington street bridge
out Of commission, swan across the
river just below the dam.
An inspection of various garages,
residences and stores in the city, with
the band of cow-punchers always in
close proximity but never quite close
enough. The bull tore thru the fence
between the residences of Mrs. E.
Moore and j. j. Shannon, PIT East
College street. The hall door of the
Shannon home was open and the bull
rushed into the house, greatly terrify-
ing the members of the family who
were peacefully sitting in the adjoining
room. With much shouting and wav-
ing OF arms the pursuers succeeded in
driving the beast from the house and
later capture him after very heroic
effort.

Mason City,sJuly 1s.--There is every

now arranging matters so that they
may return to fight for their country.
Thru interpreters 1t is very difficult for

they desired to tight only that they
find their country In trouble and they
want to do all they can to help it out.
There is scarcely naturalized Italian
in the city and those who are differ
from those who are not as night differs

any Italian should turn his face toward
the old country to make his body a
target for enemies bullets. The
Italians here are organizing and ex-
