IN THE MINING FIELD
Government Action Fixing
Prices on Spelter Cause
of General Increase

Work is progressing here with
the various drills in the Mansfi.
eld Mining District, and the
Pioneer mill is being erected as
fast as possible. The Red Bird
people expect to make a ship
ment of ore soon..
A Joplin dispatch says that
zinc ore prices were distinctly
stronger during the week just
closed. Second.grade ores brou.
ght as high as $l7 so a ton, &C.
ccrding to reliable reports, and
a considerable quantity brought
SAC. The major portion brought
$45, which is an increase of 81. 20
a ton oyer a week ago. No sales
at a figure lower than $42.50
we're reported. About 1900
tons brought the SIS price ag-
eed upon for high.grade ore.
No explanation for the strong
er market has been given, but 1T
believed that the action of the
government in establishing the
price of II cents for grade A
spelter, Is cents for sheet zinc
and IA cents for plate zinc has
had a good influence on the mar
ket.
Lead ore continues strong and
the price for the greater part of
the production went from Sa4 to
400 a ton.

STAMPS FOR PRIZES
War Savings Certificates
Suggested for Mans.
field Fair Premiums

Festns j. Wade of St. Louis,
director, War Savings Committee
OF Missouri, has written w. A.
Black, secretary of the local fair
association, as follows The
state board of agriculture in ma
ny of the states have decided to
pay all the premiums at the
county fairs for the year in war
savings stamps and certificates.
l have taken up this matter with
Gov. Gardner and with George
nold,president of the Missouri
State Fair Association. In my
opinion, it would be very helpful
to our government if your asso.
citation would advertise the fact
that your premiums are to be
paid in war savings stamps and
certificates. 1t is also further
suggested that during your fair
ycu establish a war savings
stamps booth, and set aside a
day as war savings day. We
should be very glad to send you a
prominent speaker for that day.
| sincerely trust that upon re.
ceipt of this communication you
will write me your views on this
subject"
The importance of fairs to the
live stock and agricultural inter-
ests of the state is now being
emphasized, when food produc'
tion is so vital a question. There
has never been a time in the his.
tory of live stock business when
live stock improvement was
more necessary, nor when there
was more interest in better
blood" says E. A. Trowbridge,
professor of animal industry in
the University of Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture. County
fairs have always been one of the |
big educational institutions of,the
state. A fair is an advertise.
ment for the town and county, |
and every person who has good
quality products should exhibit
them so that the best possible
showing can be made. Further
more, all should attend the fair
to obtain information and inspir.
alton from the exhibits. This is
true not only of live stock eXhib.
its, butof agricultural, mineral
and various other exhibits, in.
clnding home economics.
