Iron Industry at Midcoe.

The following cent out as presl
news from Fremont, in Carter county
would indicate that there is perhaps
much more to the mineral outlook in
Carter and Shannon counties than at
first believed, else the Government
would hardly take charge in develop
ing the property. Here is what tie
news propaganda at Fremont says:
Fremont, April 1.-THE United
States Government has taken charge
81 the Midcoe Iron Company's plant
near here and the place is under guard
OF United States military.
The immense smelter plant being
erected at the new town of Midcoe
two and a half miles from Fremont ia
being rushed as rapidly as possible,
and it is expected the smelter will be
in operation by September LIST.
Since the work of building the
smelter plant started 500 cars of ma
terlal have been received and there
are more than 800 cars on the road.
The government took charge April
LIST, and is rushing work as. rapidly as
possible. About 500 men are now at
work building the smelter plant, min.
ing iron ore and cutting wood for
charcoal.
A branch railroad has been built
from Fremont to the smelter plant at
Midcoe and quite a town is building
up out there. " ...
When the plant gets going it will
be n OF the largest iron smelters in
the country and will handle the ore
from Carter and Shannon counties,
where there are many rich deposits.
The smeltering will be done by char
coal in order to secure a superior
quality of pig iron and as there are
vast bodies Of timber within easy
hauling distance charcoal will be
available for a number of years.

Mistake to Plant Poor Seed Corn.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, April 24th.--As a
means OF overcoming low germina.

been led to consider heavier seeding

authorities at the University of Mis-.

Dc one Of the most disastrous mis-.
lakes that Missouri farmers could
make this spring, according to J. C..
hackleman In charge Of the seed corn
testing campaign Of the state. One
North Missouri farmer whose corn
tested about 50 per cent expects to
plant twice % many grains In the hill
and thus obtain Z normal stand.
This plan Of thicker seeding will
not produce the desired results In

The Third Libery Loan rally, at Red.
mondvllle, Saturday night deserves
mention. The commodious school
house was filed to Overlooking with
enthusiastic men, women and children,
all anxious and willing to do their
part. Some patriotic songs were sung.
a speech on the flag, by nine.year-
OLD Is. Reagan Adams, was hoisterous-
" applauded. Mrs. N. w. Adams,
township chairman, then presented
the bare facts about Liberty Bonds.
She was followed by Mrs. y. Edgar
Fletcher OF Arcadia, county chairman,
In a neat little speech of greeting to
old friends and pupils and a recitation
Of famous war poem. Mr.. Fletcher
then explained all about bonds after
which the audience listened with
much applause to al excellent address
by Mr.. Brewster of Ironton.
Next was a sale of pies. Every
women and girl in reach brought a
pie. Mr.. s. L. Brooks was salesman
and he did his best, handing into the
Red Cross an even $50. While the
pies were being discussed by buyers
and their fair partners, Mr.. Fletcher
mingled with the crowd and. sold
bonds to the amount of $500, which
wal much more than was expected of
a small country crowd.
Mrs. Adams worked In behalf Of the
Red Cross and succeeded in obtaining
twenty seven members, who when
organized will be known as the Red

Twas an evening we'll spent and We
teelthat our thanks are due Mr.. and

LEMON JUICE IS
SKIN WHITENER
CHEAP HOMEMADE BEAUTY 10.
TON TO REMOVE TAN, FREck-
LES, SALLOWNESS.

AT the cost of a small jar of ordinary
cold cream one can prepare full quar-
ter pint of the most wonderful lemon
skin whitener and complexion beauti-
fer, by squeezing the juice of two fresh
lemons into bottle containing three
LOUNGES of orchard white. Care should
be taken to strain the juice through a
fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in,
then this lotion will keep fresh for
months. Every woman knows that
lemon juice is used to bleach a dark
ened skin and remove such blemishes
as freckles, sallowness and tan and is
the ideal skin softener and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces Of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up quarter pint of this sweetly frag-
rant lemon lotion and massage it daily
into the face, neck, arms and hands.
1t is marvellous to whiten rough, red

Many are the tales told among trap

John Philip Sousa, the bandmaster,
and Fred Gilbert, the professional
trapshot, are friends of long stand
ing. Sousa at dinner given in Gill

with Fritz" and the proposal that Gill
bert teach Sousa how to shoot clay
pigeons, in return for which instruc-
! ton, SOusa was to teach Gilbert the
most approved way to play bass
drum.
AS the music master told it, "Fritz"
had confided his great ambition to be.
come the bass drummer of the Silver
Cornet Band of Spirit Lake, Ia, his
Sousa told Gilbert that since he was
known among trapshoOters as mu-
stefan, he was DESTROYS of making q
reputation among musicians as trap
| shooter.
Mastered Boom Beats.
! The terms were accepted by both the
| party of the first part and the party
of the second part, and instruc-
ton began. However, according to
Sousa, while Gilbert quickly mastered
the boom beats on the drum, he
has never succeeded in progressing to
the bumpety, boom, boom stage, and
the S. B. c. of Spirit Lake still needs
a bass drummer.
Sousa's high scores at the traps pay
tribute to the great musician as
a pupil and "Fritz" Gilbert as an in

Does the law Of average run true in
golf matches? According to Charles
Evans, national amateur and open
champion, the answer is in the affir-
native.
j He claims that all persons must
agree that accidents may in one disas-
trous moment sweep away the work Of
years, destroying health, happiness,
even life itself; but, of course, this is
fact of possibility, not Of greatest
probability. In all ordinary conditions
he believes that the race Is to the swift
and the battle to the strong.
All sorts of bad luck may delay sue
cess, but skill averages well in sue
cess in the long run in golf as well as
all the important things Of life.
