Most of Missouis farmers either
wholly are partially own their farms.
There are in the state, 1857 garden
ers, florists, fruit growers and nur-
sery men. That Missouri still places
lumber on the market is shown by

timbermen, raftsmen or woodchopl
pers. Fishermen and oystermen num-
bered AIS.
Missouri coal, zinc, lead, iron and
other mines furnished employment to
28,427 men, including mine operators,
officials, managers and miners. That

ed by the fact that So males were

chanical Industries furnish employ
ment to 283,147 men.

equations are listed under 522 differ

Danube at Belgrade, has been partly
destroyed and partly captured and
those who entered the Serbian ter
ritory across the Save have met with
enormous losses, according to an Off
cial dispatch received by the Serbian
legation from Nish.
Serbian Army Entrenehed.
The efforts of Austria and Germany
20 force their way through Serbia to
reach the near eastern seas and join
hands with their Turkish allies have
produced one Of the most interesting
situations of the war.
The AustroGerman troops already
have gained a footing on Serbian ter
Fitory, but they have not as yet come
into touch with the main Serbian ar
my, which is intrenched in the noun
tains just beyond the rivers, while
the Anglo-French force which was
landed at Saloniki is making its way
northward to assist the Serbians and
to protect Macedonia from a threat
ened Bulgarian invasion.
The landing of British and French
troops is proceeding despite the
changed Greek government. The
ministers Of the entente powers at
Athens have asked Greece to define
her policy with regard to the Balkan
situation, but the new premier. Alex
ander Zaimis, has answered that he

Beer Drinking on the Decrease.

The per capita consumption Of beer
in Missouri for the past year ending
Sept. 80, 1915, has slumped more than
three gallons, according to figures
obtained from Speed Mosby, state
beer inspector.
This represents loss in revenue to
the state for the year Of $67,270, which
in the present depleted condition Of
the states finances is serious.
Missourians drank during the year
ending September 80, 1915, 10,694,256
gallons less beer than they consumed
the previous year. This is 342,967 bar
rels of 81 gallons each.
The heavy decrease in the amount
of beer consumed is attributed to the
remarkably low temperature Of the
summer and the growth in the moving
picture habit.
The total collections upon beer in
spections for the year were $461, 152,
as against $52S,422 for the preceding
twelve months.
Notwithstanding the decreased con.
sumption Of beer, enough was con
sumed in Missouri to give every man,
woman and child in the state more
than Is gallons. This represents q
total of 2,371,S79 barrels, or 63,528,24s
gallons.

State May Face Deficit.


With a balance of but $71,000 in
the state revenue fund on Oct 1, q
dropping off of nearly 100000 in the
regular revenue, a steady increase in
the operating expense OF the state
penitentiary, and over-appropriation
of about 100000 by the last legisla-
ture, indications are the Missouri
state treasury may be facing deficit
of probably million dollars by the
end of 1916.
Despite the fact Gov. Major has an
nounced he will hold the appropria-
tions within the estimated revenues Of
the present biennial period-about
$11, 500, OOO-this may not save the
state from a serious deficit. He al
ready has Shaved off, about $4,000
900. The shortage in the school funds,
caused by the switching of the rev.
enue not considered ordinary" is
a situation entirely independent Of the
threatened million dollar deficit.
One cause of the temporary short
age is the fact that the taxes from
ST. Louis, heretofore availaSle in Sep
TENDER, are not to be collected until
December. The new city charter is
responsible for the change.
