MISSOURI FARM LAND ALL
RIGHT.

MISSOURI farms, while they have
been advanced in price, are still cheap
err than lands in the adjoining states.
Along this line the Armstrong,
Missouri, Herald says:
"If corn holds up to even $50 per
bushel there is some land in this COM
munity in which the corn raised this
wear will be worth 800 per acre.
That kind of land is well worth $500
per acre if the price of corn should re-
main up for a half dozen years, but
what would the land be worth if the
price of corn should go down to 40 10
so cents per bushel? But you say
that will never be the case again; n
the chances are that you are right
about the matter, for there are now
too few men on the farms to produce
fond that is needed to feed the world.
The office holding class, the trades
men, and the jobbers are getting so
numerous that it leaves but a small
per cent of the population for the
farms to produce food, and the chan
= are that food prices win remain
kish for several years to come"

ADVANCE SALARIES OF SCHOOL
TEACHERS.

THE Ledger is glad to know that
a movement is being made throughout
the country to advance the prices paid
TO public school teachers. While the
wages and salaries of most every
body has been substantially advanced,
in some cases trebled, a great many
school teachers are still getting just
about what they did before the war.
II there is any class Of workers in
the world who deserve good pay, It is
those who teach our children. One
thing is certain-if the salaries paid
school teachers do not advance there
won't be any teachers left that are
worth hiring. A poor teacher is no ac-
count at any price. The idea is to pay
good prices and get good teachers.
We know Of a great many teachers
that spent several years in preparing
themselves and are really good teach
ers, and don't draw as big a salary rs
a railroad brakeman, who is probably
not getting any too big Il salary at
that.

struct durable roads with state and

iects calling for an estimated expen-
diture of $685., $50 on So miles of road.

eral Bureau of Public Roads has as

ment, these projects will be speedily

ment and the contracts for the build
ing will be let shortly. The end Of the
wear will find Missouri building more
durable roads than aver before in her
history.
Among the projects approved at the

IN his statement to members of the

Wilson gave some excellent reasons
for speedy ratification of the treaty.
He pointed out that the copper mines
Of Arizona, Montana and Alaska are
operating at a loss; that the zinc
mines of Missouri, Tennessee and Wis
consin are producing but half their
normal output; that the lead of Mis-
souri,, Idaho and Illinois reaches only
a portion Of its former market; that
the sale of cotton in the Central En-
pires and other parts Of Europe is M
possible and that many other commod-
tiles cannot be marketed because the
channels of trade are barred until the
resumption Of commercial relations
is made possible by the ratification of
the treaty. Those nations which first
conclude peace will also be the first
to enjoy prosperity.
