Farm Products Show Advance.
What effect the European war is
having on the price of commodities is
shown as far as the state of Missouri
is concerned, by statistical informa-
ton furnished by the bureau of labor
statistics, and by the federal author
tiles reports, which compare the
values of certain necessities IN the
18th Of October, 1914, and the same
day Of 1915.
Regardless of the terrific war de-
mand for American horses, their av-
erage value for both years on the day
in question is estimated at $109 per
head, but mich COWS went up from
$50. 90 to $57.70. The selling price Of
hogs advanced from $3.50 to $3.50, but
beef cattle declined from $3.50 to
$3.50. This decline was more than
made up by the advance in veal, as
1t went from $3.50 to $3.50. Sheep
advanced from $4.30 to SIS, and lambs
from 500 to $500. Unwashed wool
went from 10 to rs cents.
The large apple crop of 1915 caused
this prime Missouri product to go
from 81 to SO cents per bu. Peaches
advanced from 80 cents to $1.05. Cab
bage declined from $3.50 to $3.50, and
onions went from SLIPS to 80 cents
While Missouri is not a large cot
ton growing state, the cottonseed
produced in the state during 1915 was
worth $2S a ton as compared with
SIS a ton for the year before.

 PHOENIX ENJOYDEFEATED AT THE .GREAT VIGTORyNEXT ELECTION
Oscar Richey and George Mac
 Bean, Republicans, Elected to Commission in Phoenix
 By Substantial Majorities

PHOENIX. April 6.-It was a great day for the Republicans in Phoenix. Oscar Ritchey and George Macbean, Republicans. were elected to the city commission by substantial majorlties over State Corporation Commissioner F. A. Jones, and Clinton Campbell, Democrats
 Nine charter amendments, favored by the Republican candidates, were adopted The principal effect is to give the commission absolute authori- ty in discharging, as we'll as employ ing the city manager It is practical ly certain that the drastic occupation tax and the traffic ordinance, against which a referendum was invoked has been repealed.
 Though only one-third of the regis tered vote was cast, the count is far from complete at midnight. It is cer- tain, however, that Ritchey and Mac Bean were elected. with Ritchey as high man, Jones third and Campbell fourth because of the opposition of organized labor. The Republicans now control the commission.
