BOB HOLLY

The newspapers of the State seem
determined to make Bob Holly, the
genial bald-headed editor the San
ford Herald, postmaster of tina.
town. Bob says the Sanford people
want a daily paper this winter, and
he does not see how it will be posi-
BILE for a man to edit a daily news
paper and run the postoffice at the
same time, but in burst of graft
tude to the brother editors who have
had so many nice things to say
about him, he says:
The editors of Florida nave stood
behind us to man always in sup
port of any position to which we
may aspire. Congressman Sears can
be depended upon to do the right
thing at the right time. We have
not asked him for Imposition, have
rot petitioned the citizens for the
position and have advocated the
primary for all such positions We
dc not even know that we will be
a candidate for the position when
the time comes, but the editor of
The Herald has as good a right to
the position or to any position as
any man in the city of Sanford. The
people want a Daily Herald this
winter and it will be rather diff alt
to edit daily and bepostmaster d.
the same time. This would be the
only reason for refusing to be a can
didate, and has been the reason for
refusing Offices up to this time. We
hove our ownw peculiar ideas about
the duties of an editor, even though
the general public. When the
scramble for county Offices took place
the editor was hands off When the
scramble for city Offices takes place
every two years the editor is hands
OFF. When the scramble for any no.
litical pie takes place the editor is
hands of. Our whole life has been
spent in getting Offices for the other
fellow and we suppose the balance Of
our life will be spent in the same
way. Perhaps when we take our
last ride in Frank Miller's equip
page these same good friends will,
erect a tombstone over the grave as
rart payment for what we accomp-
lished in life for the other fellow.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK BRIGHTER

There seems to be widespread
feeling that business conditions 81
the United States are most decidedly
on the upward trend. Visitors re-
turning from nearly all parts of the
ccuntr. report that factories are
! working overtime in most of the
lar7e manufacturing centers, and
that work is plentiful. Many of the
! big cotton mills in the south have
resumed operations in filling orders
fer certain kinds of materials for
, use by the armies in Europe. Mills
and foundries in the north are turn
| ing out war munitions.
Some indication of the increase in
business activities can be obtained
| from the bank clearings now as com
Pared with year ago. Henry
Clews, the noted New York banker,
says that the total clearings of
principal cities for the past three
weeks of August amounted to So
81 100000 as compared with &c.
947 100000 of a year ago, an i'll
crease of $1,000, 700.
| OF course the great grain crops OF
| the west are having an influence on
the market, giving the United States
an asset of great Importance and
value anyway, everybody says
that business is better, and it is a
good thing to indulge in a little
optimism, because it will help a
whole lot in making the new season
brighter and more prosperous for
everybody.-St Augustine Record

We are not having good corn

October a considerable percentage
OF 1t will not mature. However. the
farmers who have silos can save the
crop for feed at approximately its
value II fully matured
The country as a whole will not
suffer for corn One interesting
feature brought out in the details
of the last government crop report
reveals the fact that this country
will owe much to the South for max
ing the corn output for the year the
second best yield of record.
An interesting feature of the re-
port shows how much the country
ie to owe the South for harvest Of
corn which promises to make this
record
Texas alone is credited with near
lily 1OO,O00,OOO bushels; Missouri
about 19O,0O0,0O0 bushels; Ken.

suffum Issues Road huIIetIn,.

sunum Issues Road Bulletins.
Three important bulletins dealing
with various phases Of road building
in Missouri, have been issued by Col.
Frank w. Buffum, state highway
commissioner.
One of these bulletins, a copy Of
which was sent to each county high
way engineer and the presiding JUS
tice of each county court, deals with
the subject of filing acquisitions and
preparing plans to obtain state aid.
Attention is called to the fact that
requisitions for state aid should be
sent in at once. August l is the last
day for fling them.
In order that here may be no
hitch, Commissioner Buffum suggests
that all plans, specifications, profles
and the acquisitions be sent direct to
the auditors office.
There is $4,000 to be divided be-
between the counties filing plans and
acquisitions.
The second bulletin relates to the
time for dragging roads and clear
ing highways of weeds and brush.
The plan as set forth will result
in a uniform condition of the inter
county seat roads.
The third bulletin is addressed to
all of the commercial clubs in Mis-
souri,, and calls attention to various
plans for road betterment.
Several suggestions will meet the
unqualified Endorsement of automo-
bilists who have made tours of the
state during the last three months OF
rainy weather, as it deals largely
with the elimination Of the 'mrd
hole"

No More public Land.

There is no more government land
in Missouri subject to homestead en-
try. This announcement was made
by Secretary of State Roach after he
had certified to the clerks of counties
affected the fact that 11,7S1 acres OF
land to which title had been perfected
recently has been added to the tax
able wealth of the state.
The land is in small parcels and is
distributed among 40 or so counties,
all south Of the Missouri with two ex-
ceptions. Nodaway county has one
small tract on the list and SO has
Lincoln.
The bulk of the land to which indi-
vidual title has been perfected lies in
the Ozark mountain counties.

Business on Decrease.

Lumber Business on Decrease.
Missouri is dealt with as a lumber
state in a bulletin of the Bureau Of
Labor Statistics, issued by Commits
.sioner John T. Fitzpatrick of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. Tenta-
tive figures indicate that the output
for the year 1914 amounted to AGO.
C00,O feet which, at an average
value Of $40 a thousand, vas worth
$S,400,000. The production of walnut
lumber amounted to about 100000
feet, it being the most valuable timber
Missouri placed on the market. In
addition there were many Thousand
feet of walnut shipped out in TIE
form of logs. This species Of timber
is in great demand at the present
time in Europe where it is used to
manufacture stocks for rifles and for
other war purposes.
The 1914 Missouri output of oak
lumber amounted approximately to
175,000,000 feet; of maple, 100000
feet; red gum, 60,OO0,OO0 feet; poplar,
2,500,0OO feet; birch, 100000; beech,
10000 feet; Eastwood, $4,000 feet;
hickory, 1w4,3O0,0O0 feet; elm, 15,500,-
900 feet; ash, 100000 feet; cotton
wood, 11,500,0O 0 feet; tupelo, 100000
feet; sycamore, S,650,00O feet; yellow
pine, about 75,O 900, 900 feet; cypress,
22,5 900 feet; cedar, 3,500,000 feet;
and other species not already e
toned, 100000 feet. These figures
are not final being subject to change
before they are used officially in the
1915 Missouri Red Book,
There are not as many saw mills
in the state as there were in 1909,
the year that the lumber production
of Missouri amounted to 650,169,000
feet, the output Of 2,076 plants. The
1914 lumber production was turned
out by 1,100 mills which gave employ
ment to approximately 10000 wage
.earners, foremen, superintendent,
and owners who actually did manual
labor.

The note has been delayed partly
