The freight rate from Sikeston to

bushel and found the price at Sikeston
to be $2.11O2. From this he deducted
l per cent per bushel for the commits

He next compared this price with
what he could get If he sold at st.
Louis, his nearest primary market. AT
st. Louis the basic price is $2.1s per
bushel, and the freight rate from
Sikeston to st. Louis 6 cents per bush.

price 1912, less l cent per bushel for

being advantageous to the Sikeston
seller.

Tempting Dessert.

Did you know that one delicious
way Of cooking rice for dessert is
to use fruit juice to cook it in, such
as you have left over from Il can of
fruit, or stewed fruit, instead Of
water? Rice cooked in raspberry
Juice or strip left from canned or
stewed raspberries is delicious and at
tractive, as it takes up the color as we'll
as the flavor. Served with cream, It
makes a dainty dessert. Cook it in the
proportions Of one tablespoonful Of the
raw rice to one-third or slightly more
Of a cupful Of the Juice.

lutlOn IN grain market
Ing was taking place. Uncle Sam
had started on this remarkable ex-
pertinent; he was going to see wheth-
er wheat could be marketed minus
rake-offs to the SPECTATORS. This
necessitated complete control by the
Government Of storage facilities, trans
portation and d%istributive agencies,
and the marketing machinery for
wheat and rye.
Everybody was troubled; most of
all, the officials Of the Food Admins
tration Grain Corporation who had
undertaken, without salary, and at the
sacrifice of their personal connection
with the grain trade, to whip into
shape the forces that would drive for
ward the big business machine for
marketing American wheat. A single

making corporation to do the work.
This work is a necessary arm of the
Food Administration, allowing the
Government to do business quickly
and without red tape. Its stock is held
in trust by the President of the Unit

WHAT'S THE REASON?
Many Madison People i'm Poor Health
Without Knowing the Cause.

There are cores of people who
drag out a miserable existence with
out realizing the cause of their suf-
fering. Day after day they are rack
ed with backache and headache; suf-
fer from nervousness, dizziness,
weakness, languor and depression.
Perhaps the kidneys have fallen be-
hind in their work of filtering the
blood and that may be the root of the
trouble. Look to your kidneys. as
sist them in their work-give them
the help they need. You can use no
nor highly recommended remedy
than Doan's Kidney Pills-endrosed
by people all over the country and by
your neighbors in Madison.

ABROAD SEVEN TIMES
LEAD BOY HAS MADE SEVEN
ROUND TRIPS ACROSS THE
OCEAN IN EIGHT MONTHS.

Lead, Aug. 14.-W. Il. Mickle, a
Lead boy, who enlisted In the navy
and Is assigned to duty on one OF
the largest army transports running
between the United States and
France, has Just completed his
seventh round trip across. His first
trip vas made early last December,
thus making seven round trips In a
period OF eight months. which gives
something OF an idea of the speed
with which transports are performing
their marvellous task OF landing g.
100000 American troops in France
before the end OF the year.
The actual running time of the
trips has been about IL days each
way. or "a days for the round trip,
allowing IL days for repairs and
overhauling. divided into five and
one-half days at each end OF the run.
The transport to which he is as
signed and IL pressed to its limit can
carry upward OF 5000 troops at one
time. On M occasion the ship had
to come back to an American port
because of leaky boilers when II was
carrying 5000 soldiers.

Church Membership In the
United States Shows Large
Increase in Ten Years

During the ten-year period ending
December 81, 1915, the total church
membership in the United States in
creased from 35,06S,05S to ~42,044,374,
or 1919 per cent; the number of
churches from 212,230 to 22S,OO7, or
IA per cent; the number of ministers
from 164,S30 to 1911, 722, or 1853 per
cent; the number of Sunday school
scholars from 15,337,S11 to 20,569,S 31,
or 7.8 per cent, and the number Of
Sunday school officers and teachers
from 1,746,074 to 2,049,293, or ia per
cent.
These data, developed by the census
ligious bodies, are contained In a state
ment compiled under the supervision
of William G.. Hunt, chief statistician
for population.
The number of denominations COW
cred was POI, an increase of Is over
the number reported for 1905. This In
crease Is the net result of the CONSOLE
dalton or dropping out of 16 small de-
nominations and the addition of %
small denominations, comprising soms

brought to light, and others resulting
from consolidation of formerly indie
pendent churches.
OF the 42,044,374 church members re.

were Roman Catholics; 250,34O, or six.

In comparing the figures given II
should be borne In mind that the Ro'

not, as a rule, receive young children

FAKE SOLDIER
HE GOT CASH AND WOMEN ADO
RATION AT HOWARD.

Howard, Aug. 14.--Members OF
the council of defense OF Miner coun-
ty exposed a fake" Canadian SOL
der. who was travelling over South
Dakota collecting money for himself
and supposedly for the Red Cross,
but all the funds evidently went in
to his own pocket. After Being close
ly questioned by M. d. Eide. chair
man of the council OF defense, the al
legged soldier, who gave his name as
'Sergt. Nageille. was temporarily re-
leased and took advantage of the OPP
portunity to make his escape. He
was pursued as far as Carthage,
where all trace Of him was lost.
The fake soldier made public ad-
dresses and asserted that he had
been In France 81 months hunting
the Hun" One OF the thrilling
stories told by him was that he had
personally cut the throats OF eight
German soldiers, and that on one oc-
casion he had spat In the face oil
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg. Dur.
ing his stay in Howard he made trips
to Canova and Villas and collected
quite a sum of money at each place,
which he represented was for the
Red Cross.
When taken to task by Chairman
Eide, OF the council Of defense. he
was unable to produce credentials
from the Red Cross or other organic
alton. During his stay In Howard,
1t Is alleged. he made himself "sol-
i'd" with several OF the young women
who "just love a man In q uniform
and also with n or two of the mar
ried women, who made his stay as
pleasant as possible. During one oil
his visits to Canova the sergeant
stated that he had had the experience
Of being gassed, wounded and taken
prisoner, and gave details of his es-
cape from an alleged German prison.
He also stated he had killed 40 Huns
and hoped to be able to 60 back and
get that many more.
In his p~recipitate flight from How
ard he overlooked paying = number
OF hotel and other bills.
