GOOD PRICES.

Bluegrass seed delivered at the
house is now being quoted at the
handsome price of $3.50 per bushel,
according to the seed dealers in
Paris. who are now interested in
practically nine-tenths of the entire
crop.

The crop this season is estimated
at about 100000 bushels, which is
less than one-half of the usual pro-
duction. 1t is of an excellent quail
ity, having headed out in fine shape,
and full of terminating powers.
While little of it is likely to be ex-

will be a good demand for home use

Missouri's Centennial.

The first Of series Of celebrations
Of Missouri's centennial of statehood
will be held at Columbia January 8.
This will celebrate the one hundredth
anniversary of the presentation of the
petitions for Missouri's admission to
congress. Other celebrations will be
held at different places in the state
as the dates occur, for Missouri's ad-
mission was no simple matter, but
involved over two years Of stormy de-
bate in congress before the Missouri
compromise was finally adopted. The
Missouri centennial committee is now
engaged in raising funds to defray
the expense Of arranging these cele,
brations, and especially of appropri-
ate exercises in the schools of the
state, in connection with the centen-
nial.

Finances Improving.

There will be plenty Of revenue
to meet all demands on the state at
the close Of the year." said Governor
Gardner recently. Il am informed at
the present time there is more than
S147 900 In the revenue fund and re-
ceipts are coming In rapidly. want
every account paid at the close Of
the year, and next year, with the ope-
ration Of the new revenue laws, there
ought to be enough on hand to pay
the $2,250,000 borrowed from the st.
Louis banks, and also to meet every
bill"
The governor expressed the hope
that the revenues next year would
permit improvements of various in
stitutions. They are all crowded, he
declared, and every one of them must
be enlarged and improved. He said
he was satisfied there would be money
enough to make all these improve
ments before the close of his admins
tration. When he goes out OF office
he wants the state to have sufficient
money in the treasury to meet every
demand and to be entirely free from
debt.
"At this time" continued the gov
ernor, 'T am deeply interested in get
ting the state aroused over better
highways. l would like to see more
and more convicts employed on the
highways. It is better for the con-
victs and better for the public. The
penitentiary is going to pull out all
right, anyway under the present plan
of operating all industries by the state
and wish more communities would
ask for convict labor for the roads"
The governor said that at the close
Of this year he believed the states
finances would be at least 100000
better off that they were at the end
Of the Major administration.

BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.


Centralized, unified control of the
grand strategy of the allies was the
burning question of last week, and
Premier Lloyd-George became the
storm center of discussion. Following
the establishment of the inter-allied
war council by the British French and
Italian governments and English par.
liamentary and press criticism there
Of, Mr.. Lloyd-George. then in Paris,
delivered what he himself called
"brutally frank" speech admitting that
the allies had repeatedly made "incred-
lble plumbers" in Serbia, Roumania,
Italy and elsewhere. These he at
tributed in the main to lack of united
action, and declared that while the
war has been prolonged by particular
Ism, II will be shortened by solidarity.
This aroused a storm of adverse
comment and brought the premier face
to face with the most serious political
crisis that has confronted him. Even
Mr.. AsQuith Joined his critics, and
loyd-George fastened home to reply
to them. The opposition assumed the
war council plan meant the retirement
Of Haig and Robertson and the con-
troll of military operations by civilians.
The people as q whole seemed to sup
port the premier, and there was a be-
lief that he would win the struggle.
The war-council scheme is still in
complete in that the United States Is
not yet included, but 1t is hoped that
President Wilson and his adminfstra-
ton will recognize its wisdom and join
with the others in evolving and carry
ing out plan of grand strategy.
Lord Northcliffe was offered the ad-
ministratlon of the new air ministry
by Lloyd George, but declined. In his
letter of declination he spoke of the
fervor and enthusiasm with which the
United States and Canada proceed
with their war preparations, compar-
ing this with the "wabbly" methods
in England. He warned the premier
that unless there was swift improve
ment in Great Britain, the United
States would rightly take into its own
hands the entire management of
great part of the war, refusing to sac
rifice its blood and treasure to the in
competent handling Of the affairs Of
Europe"
PaInIeVe's Cabinet Falls.
France also was stirred by the uni
ncation measure and partly as a re-
suit the tottering ministry headed by
Premier Painleve toppled over. Its
fall, however, was more especially due
to the controversy over ''Boloism," the
German propaganda that has infested
: France as well as the United States,
Russia and, 1t now appears, usiy as
| well.
No tears were wasted over the fate
AZ the Painleve cabinet, but there be-
gan a great scrambling to find the
strong leader who. 1t was admitted,
J must be discovered. Clemenceau, the
Tiger" former premier, was call
ed on Thursday to form a new minis
try and accepted the mission. He is
known as an exponent of the big stick,
Is one Of the most forceful figures In
J French public life and was the man
who started the campaign against the
German propaganda In France. His
chief obstacle to success will be the
opposition Of the socialists, who hate
him because Of the drastic methods he
employed in dealing with labor trou-
bles when he was premier about ten
years ago.

Do Not Get Our Share Of Coal.

Must Post Prices.

State Fuel Administrator Crossley
has taken steps to fix the price of coal
in every community of the state.
The prices must be posted by the
dealer so that his customers will know
exactly the cost of the coal. the cost of
the freight and the profit Of the dealer.
These prices will vary with the COM
munity. The price which the people
must pay for coal in a given city of
Missouri will depend upon the coal
fields from which the supply is OBJ
tanned and the cost OF the freight

Can Mine Coal.

State Fuel Director Crossley said it
was not beyond possibility that the
state will use convict labor to supply
state institutions with coal.
"The state unquestionably has au-
thority to utilize convicts in produc-
ing coal for state institutions" Cross
ley said. There Is an abundance of
coal in various sections of the state
and the state has plenty Of idle con-
victs to mine 1t in sufficient quantities
for every state institution"
The state already is working hun.

of wearing apparel, shoes and other
commodities for various state institu-
lions, and this is specifically author
lied by law. All state institutions are

BARRIERS HAVE FOUGHT LONG
AND HARD FOR NEW CON-
PENsATIoN.
OLD FIGURES CONFISCATORY
RO1ndTrIp Tickets Little Less Than
Straight Fare-New Rates Are In
NatI9e Of compromise.-Ef-
fectiVe January I.
Jefferson City, Mo.

Straight passenger rates in Mis-
souri, were increased Y cent a mile
by the public service commission. For
years the carriers have held a 2-cent
rate was confiscatory.
The railroads, owing to the In
creased cost Of materials, asked for a
3-cent rate.
The commission fixed the maxi
mum rate for one.Way single-trip tick
cts and 21s cents a mile. as against
the present rate Of cents. The COM
mon carriers petitiOned for a 3-cent
rate.
The carriers are permitted to
charge "a cents q mile for round-trip
tickets and "a cents for 500-mile mile
Rge-books to be used exclusively on
the lines over which the mileage
books are purchased Interchange
able mileage books containing 1000
miles can be sold for IN cents.
The new schedule OF rates goes into
effect January I.
The opinion was written by David
Blair and concurred in by Commits
sioners Noah Simpson and Edward
F1ad.
Commissioner Edwin ]. Bean dis
scented. Commissioner William Busby
did not sit in this important case. He
disqualified himself, as he was for
merly counsel for the public service
commission, and at previous hearings
for rates opposed any increase.
The public service commission at a
hearing November 10, 1915, granted
zh-cent passenger rate, and hxed
round-trip tickets at az cents a mile.
Mileage books were rated under this
decision at 2 cents a mile. On April
10. 1917, the public service commits
sion suspended its order Of November
10. 1915, and set the case for further
to determine whether the increases
granted were justified under the con-
ditions existing at the date Of said
supplemental order.
The passenger rate controversy in
Missouri has been one OF long dura-
ton.
It has been argued from the legis-
the United States without final ad,
Judication. A 2-cent passenger rate
was passed by the Missouri Ieglsla-
ture during the session of 1907. The
law was enjoined in the United States
district court at Kansas City. This
injunction was made permanent in
the spring OF 1909.
During the life OF the temporary in
junction the railroads, through an
agreement with Attorney General
Herbert 8. Hadley, operated under a
2h-cent rate.
The state appealed its case to the
United States supreme court. which
handed down a decision in 1918, sus-
tanning the 2-cent passenger rate law
The railroads then appealed to the
public service commission, which was
created by the legislative session of
1918, to permit a Scent rate to be es-
tabilshed in this state. During the
1915 general assembly there were
scores of heated debates In both
branches Of the legislature as to the
powers of the public service commits
sion as to making railroad rates.
