The Worst Ever

The "oldest inhabitant" can
not remember of any previous
Easter weather quite as bad as
last Sunday. 1t began showing
Saturday evening and kept it up
for more than twenty-four hours
and most of the time it was
driven by a violent wind and
drifted badly. All trains were
from one to five hours late Sun
day and Monday.
The freezing weather of Sun
day night inflicted many millions
of dollars of damage in Missouri,
according to a statement given
out by the secretary of the state
board of agriculture. The peach,
pear, plum and cherry crops are
killed beyond hope, said the re-
port. All varieties of early
apples have been killed and late
varieties badly damaged.
The extent of damage to late
varieties of apples cannot be told
at this time, the secretary said,
but it will undoubtedly be very
great and probably more extern
sive than now is known.
The board of agriculture has
no record of such hard freezing
and such heavy snow
storm so late in the season.
From information at hand the
board says, it appears that no
section of the state escaped and
it is probable that the damage

Introduction, Scripps-BOOth Cars

When anticipating the pur-
chase of a motor car, three con-
siderationS are paramount
beauty, comfort and perform
ance.
The new open models of the
"B" Series of Scripps-Booth Six
Cylinder Motor Cars, are sure
to make their appeal to those
who consider beauty.
The smooth running Six-Cyl-
inder valve-in-head motors, with
which the models of this series
are equipped, are capable of de-
veloping over forty-horse-power,
a super-abundance of power for
cars as light in weight as the new
and sufficient
to propel them where you will,
at what speed the necessity de-
at an upkeep cost that
is surprisingly low.
Will be glad to demonstrate
the facts to you.
