SOMEBODY "GoT HIS"
Farmer Sold Apples for $3.50 and
The Retailer Paid $3.50.

A late dispatch from Macon, Mo-,
says:
Robert Shoush, q local dealer in
fruit and flowers, received this week
from the Quincy (Ill) Produce Co. a
barrel OF Jonathan apples, with bill
for $3.50. In going thru the apples
Mr.. Shoush found this written on a
piece Of paper:
Dear Sir: This barrel of apples
was packed by Alfred Lepper, rural
route 4, Quincy, ILL.,, and was sold for
$3.50. Please write me and tell me
what you paid for them.
Mr.. Shoush has supplied the pro-
Queer with the information called
for. He showed Mr.. Lepper's note
to the travelling salesman of the firm
from which he purchased the apples
and asked what would be the price of
another barrel of the same sort.
Seven dollars" replied the sales
man.
For years the orchard men Of
Northern Missouri have been COM
planning about the low price they re-
ceive for Their product, and many have
abandoned the business rather than
go to the endless trouble of pruning
and spraying and guarding against
late frosts for the small reward offer
ed. Some of the larger orchard men
about Macon are planning the estab-
lishment of a cold storage house
here so the producers may hold
their output until the market is
right.

WOULD WRECK TRAIN.
A Dirty Piece of Work Attempted up
Beyond Centralia-The Culprit to
BE Hunted Down.


The Slater News reports the fol-
lowing:
But for discovering railroad tie
across the track in time to slow up
a disastrous wreck was averted last
Saturday afternoon about two miles
this side of Centralia.
Engineer II. r. Steding on train
No. Is, reports that he saw the OBJ
struction in time to slow down, but
that the tie was pushed ahead of the
engine for almost a trains length be-
fore it could be brought to stop
The train was in charge of Conductor
Trimblett
The obstruction, doubtless, had
been placed across the rails for the
purpose of wrecking the train and
had not been there longer than 80
minutes as No. % had just passed
and met s at Thompson.
This is a case that will in all prob
ability be traced down by the rail-
road detective as it is evident that
some one is undertaking q dirty piece
of work. Engineer Ricard had a
similar experience a few months ago
near the same place.

HERE'S THE TRUTH.

The Louisiana (Mo.) Times ex-
presses our views in the following
to a dot:
II an American sailor or civilian
is killed on a vessel in the war zone
a great row is raised and an iHdem-
nifty demanded and war Is threaten
ed; but no consideration is given the
starving people at home who are be-
ing robbed daily by the avaricious
gamblers and spectators who are
buying our daily bread and storing it
for expectation or for a fabulous
price on the home market. These
American robbers have waxed rich at
the expense of their own country
and our officers in authority say they
cannot prevent the conditions. The
warning nations have borrowed mill
ions of money here and it has been
expended in cornering our products,
the rightful property of our people,
and what they can't export they are
selling at exorbitant prices. Presi-
dent Wilson and Congress could do
no greater thing for the people of
this country than to put an embargo
on everything for 60 days, and we
would see how quick the war prices
in this country would go back to nor
NAL conditions. What effect it would
have on the war we are at loss to
say, but what that effect might be is
no concern of ours, for the people of
this country have no interest there,
the war was not of their making, and
If they have no more sense than to
fight and kill, let them go, but we
do believe that we have right to
ask for protection from the human
money ghouls who for the past year
have been sapping the vitals of the
population Of a great nation to fill
their money bags with i'll gotten
gains, and sneer at the failure of our
executive departments to stop their
nefarious practices. A 60-day en-
barge on every American product to
every nation, warning or neutral,
would be hailed with delight from
north to south and from east to west
and would stop gigantic and dis
graceful steal going on right at home.

Grieg Sonata, a Fantasia by Saint
Saens and a number of other concert
compositions, mostly arranged or
composed by Signor Salvi. The gen.
tleman is an artist to his finger tips
and his musicianship is always above
reproach. His technical ability is enor-
nous and the audience enjoyed his
playing immensely.
Nine. Helen Brown Read, soprano
sang "Dich theure Halle" from
Tannhauser, a group of German
songs by Schubert, Brahms and Rich
ard Strauss, and English songs by
Horsman, Campbell-Tipton, c. w
Best and Jeanne Boyd. In all these
the singer was very ably accompanied
on the piano by Mrs Edith Harris.
MINNIE. Read has rich, powerful
voice, which easily filled the hall
The singers task was a very taxing
one, as nearly every vocal number on
the program was lyric gem, the per-
feet vocal and interpretative mastery
of which makes the highest demands
upon any artist. The audience re-
ceived Nine. Reads offerings with ev-
ident delight and a number of ex-
tras were demanded and granted.

ABOUT HEREDITY.
One Family Cost New York State Over
d Million and Quarter in
Five Generations.

Gregor Mendel, peasant boy, monk
and abbot Of Brunn, an experimental
botanlst whose work in his cloister
garden laid the foundation of that ex-
act knowledge of heredlty which is
now being extended in many directions,
was born July "a, 1872.
i He died IN 1882. Eighteen years
later began the appreciation of bis la
bors. His doctrines, which are called
Mendelism, form the scientific basis of
the science of EugenIcs, The science
of beng we'll horn.
Mendel work made 1t possible for
US to predict with precision whether
good or bad traits will or will not ap-
pear in future offspring and to forecast
with mathematical accuracy the pro-
portion in which certain characteristics
will appear ara reappear.
This is important to the public health
because detective persons breed defec-
tive persons and an increased knowl-
