he again showed beyond doubt that
much Of the loss in live stock is
caused by insects that can easily be
controlled; and here as in the great
loss to farm crops by injurious in

unknown disease. And yet these in

the loss mostly prevented easily if

The simplest remedy to get rid of
the worble is, when your cattle are

build "creeps" out in the pasture for
the calves that run with their moth
ers all the time. These "creeps" are
made about 16 feet square with a
trough in the center, in which grain

midway between each corner post,

nailed to the rails wide enough apart

MEN ARE SCARCE
DEMAND FOR MORE
Another 10 Percent BOnus--"Lar9est
Wages Ever Paid in St. Francois
County"

This is the burden of telegram
from the Lead Belt sent to the city
papers this week in connection with
the information that another 10 per
cent bonus had been added to the
wages of miners on pay day last
/ week.
1t may not be generally known and
yet it is fact that for some time the
foreign labor in the Lead Belt has
been gradually drifting Eastward
and from Crystal City as well-to
secure employment in the great steel
mills that are flooded with orders and
need men. Labor goes where wages
/ beckon it. This is true of alien labor
in our midst as we'll as of the Amer
ican.
When this alien labor was brought
into the Lead Belt, it was said that
the American laborer would not do
the work that the alien labor would
dot was too independent, the work
was too rough or degrading, or
something, to suit him. Perhaps, at
the wages the alien labor was willing
TO do it.
Wages in the Lead Belt were not
as attractive as they were in some
of the other mining districts of the
West. The comparisons have fire.
quently been made. Experienced
American miners began to leave as
alien labor was brought in. Some
of them went to Joplin, and in that
district you will now find many who
once worked in the Lead Belt of st.
Francois county. Their leaving gave
the companies no uneasiness; their
places could be easily filled with alien
labor, men who would do the hardest
and most trying work down in the
bowels of the mines at nominal wages.
But now this alien labor has caught.
on to something that has attracted its
attention, and it is leaving to lay hold
of it. These aliens have. nothing to
hold them, no attachment to location,
no permanent homes builded1 up to
absorb their affections, no love of
State or country. They work for wag-
es alone, live as economically as they
were taught from necessity to live in
the lands of their birth, and the mon
ey order records of our post offices
and the foreign exchanges of our
banks will show how the residue Of
their wages go regularly back to
their old homes. And where this is
the case, they must dream of the time
when they can follow it and live in
ease in their characteristic way at
their old homes, whose ties of family
and tradition appeal to them.
The American laborer in his place,
with encouraging wages, would save
and build him a home and habitation,

For several weeks past Sheriff j. C.
Williams has beene a great sufferer
from carbuncles on the back of his
neck. For some time his condition
was quite critical, as the carbuncles
appeared to resist all forms of treat
ment. They appear now practi-
cally to have run their course, after
having been twice lanced, and the
many friends of Sheriff Williams are
pleased to see him again actively on
his job and actively attending to his
many duties.

NET INCOME OF ss.4sp. .es4

The directors of the st. Joseph
Lead Company at meeting held in
New York last Monday, made re-
port for the year 1915, ending Decem-
ber 31st, showing a gross income Of
four million, three hundred and nine
ty-two thousand three hundred and
sixty dollars ($4,392, ,36O), an income
over the preceding year of $1,964,-
674, and NET income of three mil
lion four hundred and eighty-nine
thousand nine hundred and sixty-four
dollars ($3, ,4S9,9 ,964). The surplus for
the year amounted to $1,99S, ,S83--
nearly two million dollars. A quar-
terly dividend of two and a half per
cent was declared and the stock of the
company placed definitely on 10 per
cent annual dividend basis, an in
crease of a per cent. Ben Blewitt, a
son-in-law of the late Mr.. and Mrs

rear his family in comfort and with
the advantages which American in
stitutions afford, help support and
build up the community in which he
lives, loyal to his home, his communi-
ty, his State and his country-a typ
ical, proud American citizen. You
find many of them in the Joplin dis
trict, where alien labor is not tolerat-
ed and encouraged, and where a SHOW
eler in the mines it is said gets about
$6.85 for the same amount of tonnage
that he gets $2.65 or $2.85 for in the
Lead Belt. And operators in that dis
trict think he is worth it.
A short time ago, with lead at an
abnormally high price, the companies
in the Lead Belt gave their employees
ten per cent bonus of their wages.
1t was heralded as a generous thing;
but it has not stopped the outflow of
alien labor, and on pay day last week
another temper cent bonus was hand
ed each employe with his wages; and
the st. Louis papers of Monday con-
tanned telegram telling of it with
the addendum that "this constitutes
the largest wages ever paid in st.
Francois county" This same tele-
gram also bears the information that
"men are scarce and there is a demand
for more"
Hasn't this more to do with the ad-
ditional ten-percent bonus than the
fact that lead is selling at $6.25?
And will the scarcity of men and the
demand for more" be answered by
men who are getting better wages at
Joplin and other Western mining
sections than the mines of st. Fran

FINE Of $3.50 IS
IMPOSED ON CAMP

Upon hearing the evidence offered
by a witness who had been especially
summoned, Recorder Semmes, yester-
day, in disposing of the case against
William Camp, proprietor of the
Palace saloon, imposed fine of $249
and cost, or sixty days. The fine
was not paid On the contrary, a
new trial was requested, and in case
this is denied, it is annoupced that
an appeal will be taken. The defen-
dant at yesterdays session of the
recorders court, was not present, but
was represented by counsel.
This case was the outgrowth of
action taken against the defendant
when reports were telephoned the
police station that he was violating
the law by permitting his place of
business on Palafox street to remain
open. 1t was claimed that two Gus
toners, in the restaurant portion of
the tippling house, were tile only
ones in the place when the report
was telephoned, and that they were
both eating, finishing an order given
before 10 o'clock.
The recorder construed the fact
that the place was open after orders
to be a violation of the tipping house
law, and the fine of $3.50 was inn
posed.
