Blackberries, raspberries, and

it. The home supply seldom

extreme western and southern
part is quite generally rough

Timothy, clover, millet, cowpeas

the crops this year will exceed

Cattle raising is carried on eX-

ty and there are many herds Of
registered Hereford and Short

of cattle in the county is approx
imately 1900, the value of
which exceeds $250,000.00.
Besides cattle, the county

ty Electric line and Cape Girar-
deau & Northern Railroad, which
furnish ample communication
with st. Louis and the larger
towns and cities of Southeast

Terre, near the center of the
county, are the largest lead-pro-
ducing mines in the world. The
principal deep mines in this dis
trict are being operated by five
large corporations, whose mills
handle more than $4,000 tons of
ore-bearing rock daily. In re-
port made in 1912 by an expert
mining engineer, one of the cor
porations has enough ore-bear-
ing rock in sight to run % years,
crushing and milling more than
5000 tons daily. There are be-
tween 5000 and 1000 men en-
ployed the year round, whose
payroll runs over 100000 per
month. This industry makes a
ready cash market for most of
the produce raised in this and
adjoining counties.
Copper, zinc, iron, baryte,
nickel, red and gray granite,
lime and sand stone are produc-
ed. The granite deposits are I'M
usually rich and have been work
ed for many years. The monu-
ment of former Governor Mar
maduke at Jefferson City is
made from a huge block of red
granite supplied by this county.
In st. Louis there are many
large buildings which have been
constructed from the same grade
of granite. Several million gran
lite paving blocks from here are
used in that city.

this county on the east which
was the first county in the State

Historic grounds are to be
seen on all sides. The rolling
lands of the county are pictur-

offers inducements for location
of summer resorts. The purest

by the many bubbling springs

Raid Over England.

LONDON. April 30.-Destruction Of
seven buildings and damage TO five
more was the sum total of damage
done by the Germans in their latest
raid over England early today. This
raid. which was the ninth, caused no
loss of life, but deepened the terror
Of the British people. especially in
Suffolk, which is a favOrite hunting
ground for Zeppelins.
Twenty bombs were dropped at lps-
wich, where three dwelling houses
were burned and several other build
ings were partially destroyed. Near
Whitton bombs were dropped IN a
field. At Bury 81. Edmunds II bombs
were dropped. destroying four shops
and damaging "a hotel and several res
licences The Zeppelin was also seen
at FelixtoWe and Aldborough where IL
was evidently scouting, as no bombs
were reported from that district
The Zeppelin is believed TO have
made its escape as the night was
foggy and British aeroplanes which
rose in pursuit OF the invaders soon
lost sight OF il
There are important ship yards and
arsenals in the district over which the
raider flew.
That no deaths occurred from the
raid was miraculous. for at Ipswich
a bomb fell in a room where a child
was sleeping. but IL escaped.
