SERV.US MINCE MEAT

Package condensed mince meat Ia
made UP today of the best quality Of
dried fruit and other items which can
be found, all of which are found in
the United States with the exception
Of spices and currants. The study of
packing condensed nince meat has ex-
tended over a period of 100 years and
today is as near its perfection as we
can possibly conceive The sanitation
m the factories in which it is packed
Is beyond reproach as the competition
today in these lines necessitates the
guarding of the most minute detail of
the best grade of New York State,
where in our opinion is grown the
best favored apple known. The
raisins used are of the best quality
seeded variety. No expense is con-
sidered in procuring the very highest
grade of spices. and sugar, as we all
know, is always sugar, the different
grades merely representing the differ
ent fiavors or different granulation re-
quired for different purposes. Every
used in the manufacture of mince meat
is thoroughly cleaned and hand picked
by people trained to know what should
and should not be used and in this
manner the article comes to the house.
wife cleaner by far than she could
possibly take the same articles in her
own kitchen, regardless Of how clean
it may be, and make UP the filler for
her mince pie. The old idea Of dirt
being prevalent in quantity is today
disputed by the greatest authorities on
food products. The meat used in
mince meat is of the choicest and to-
day the same corn-beef which you
and 1 would use on our table is what
Is being used in Serv-us Mince Meat.
There are very few pies made which
can be used as handily by the house
wife as mince meat for all it requires
is a little water and being heated for
ten minutes and it is ready for the
crust and then the table and she may
without fear of loss carry three or
four packages of mince meat in her
pantry, having it ready at any time
for the chance occurrence of unexpect-
ed company and it will be a good
dessert free from dirt. 1t is our
thorough belief that a mince meat pie
made from condensed mince meat is
about as cheap a dessert as can be
prepared and yet as good.
For many years mince meat was
considered q winter dish. Each year
for the last ten our factory has had
to increase it's capacity during the
summer months until today it runs
every day of the year with a regular
force of helpers. We ship goods to
every part of the country the entire
year. This of course means a great
increase in the use of these goods over
when mince meat was eaten only in
the winter months which means an in
creased sale over the former winter
consumption.

Let the Republicans and the Col
onel sound the war drums. Let them
introduce their resolutions declaring
war. Then let them summon the peo-
pie of the United States to rally about
the crimson banner they have raised.
If the people, also, desire war; if they
are dissatisfied with peace; if they
think peace shameful and cowardly,
if they desire that our foreign dis
putes be conducted with shrapnel in
stead of with diplomatic notes, they
will soon make themselves heard
And if they do so express themselves
congress will not and cannot stand
against them, any more than re-
luctant congress could refuse to de-
clare war on Spain when war was the
peoples will.
1t is up to the Republican jingoes
If it is war they want, whether with
Europe or with Mexico, let them vote
for it and work for it in congress. II
on the other hand, they do not want
war; if they realize that war would
be folly and crime; if all they are
seeking is a sham campaign issue
through the harrassment of Pres
ident patient and firm, who has borne
on his shoulders for year and a hall

Made Profit Of $S2.2t
On One Acre Of Corn

With profit of s322.21 an acre,
Oscar Linhart of Scott county won
the championship among corn club
boys of Missouri, according to results
recently announced by George W.
Reavis, superintendent of boys and
girls club work in the University of
Missouri at Columbia. The yield of
the acre making the largest profit
was 118 bushels and II pounds. A
sample of the corn was on exhibit at
Farmers Week. The net profit is
counted in the championship contest
rather than the highest yield.
Oscar Linhart enrolled as a member
of the boys corn clubs under the di-
rection of the agricultural extension
service of the University of Missouri
last spring. He received instruction
in selecting, planting and cultivating
the corn from the University and tbs
County Agent of Scott county. He
made regular reports of his work ant
the condition of his corn.
His last report showed that the cul.
tivation of the acre had cost $38.57
Here are the figures: Seed, SOC; worl
done in cultivation, 81; fertilizer
$5.25; rent on land (the usual rent il
that county is one-third of the CROP
$23.62. The product at go cents {
bushel was worth $70.88.
Every contestant is required to tel
how he raised his crop. Here is thu
way Oscar tells of his: II picked ou
good seed, with the help of the Coun
ty Agent, from a good yield last year
plowed the land, a rich bottom, il
the fall to let the stalks decay. Il
the spring l plowed it again sever
inches deep. In April / doublediske'
it both ways, double-harrowed AM

rows 8 feet and 8 inches apart, stalk
standing IL inches apart in rows.

a two-horse cultivator. Other cult
vations were not so deep, the last on
being with fve-shovel, one-hors

tions, applied 125 pounds of com
mercial fertilizer, spreading it in tn
middle of the rows. l worked over tn
