Missouri Egg Prices.

The farm price of Missouri eggs in
1918 ran from IL cents per dozen in
summer to 20 cents in December,
while the retail price of eggs in st.
Louis to consumers ranged from 19
cents in April to Al cents in Deem
ber, which is a trifie more than one
and one third times the farm price.
Egg Prices continued to climb dur
ing the next eight years, until in 1920
the farm prices of eggs ranged from
80 cents in July to 81 cents in Decem-
Der, and the retail price of eggs to st.
Louis consumers ran from 45 cents in
June to "a cents per dozen In Decem-
Der.
These prices to the consumer in
1920 were approximately one and one
third times the price received by the
producer, but the actual price paid by
the consumer above that received By
the producer was very much more
than that in 1918.
The Missouri Farm Review bulletin
for 1920 crops has lately published
charts illustrating the movement in
egg prices as we'll as for butter, pork
chops, and round steak.

the clerks are wives, sons and daugh-
ters of the members, but even with
this there is no necessity for such
large number for to our mind even
relatives of member of the legisla-
ture should do some work even
though the state is paying the salary.
The extra session, like the regular
session OF last winter, will 90 down
in history as the most expensive in
the states history.
Missourians in generalare learning
by experience that Republican cries
of economy are not made with the
least possible intention of being kept.
Pledges and promises of theirs are
spread out merely for the purpose of
catching votes and with absolutely
no regard for public service or the

sociatioE aboard the steamer Naronic
on Lake Huron, the carriage men
frankly stated that the displacement
of horses had gone too far, and that
the time was not far hence when they
should be entirely restored on all
work within the horse zone. The
horse zone was defined as that class
of work in which the horse is efficient
and much more economical than
motors. The movement of dead
freight at low cost within the distance
teams can go and return in one day,
was specifically mentioned as being
in the horse zone, as are all hauls in
volving frequent stops, such as the
delivery of ice, coal, milk and other
commodities, and carriage deliveries
or pickup, where fifteen or twenty
stops must be made in distributing or
building up load.
Development of the short haul pro-
position was seen in the location OF
switching tracks Immediately adjacent
to factories, warehouses of stores, OF
as near adjacent as possible. The
carriage men pointed out that it costs
no more to have car 'spotted" on 9
team track or freight>station OF hall
mile from the factory, than on a team
track eight or ten miles away. Com
mon sense indicates that it is much
less expensive to move freight half 9
mile than miles. Merchants located
in cities where the freight stations
are numerous and team tracks con
.venient, have decided advantage IL
hauling goods over those in cities
where freight service is not equally
convenient. The difference in this
intermediate handling cost is grea
enough to make or unmake the com
mercial growth of a city, and ths
consensus was that more attention
should be given to the development
of switching tracks and freight sta
tions. This would give the cities thu
benefit of short haul economies, ant
incidentally, result in increased horse
use for freight moving and genera
delivery.

Horse Decrease Passes Low Point.

Following the advance reports of
the new census, the Horse Associa-
tion of America has just issued figures,
which show that Missouri has 63,741
less horses at work in cities, towns
and villages in 1920 than there were
in 1910. st. Louis alone has dropped
from 81 ,2O4 horses in 1910 to 11,O71 in
1920, difference Of 16, 1873 horses. 1t
is estimated that one seventh OF these
we're driv ing horses. This leaves q
decrease Of 1899 work horses, or
50.S percent
The total horse and mule decrease
in cities Of the U. s. averages 80 per
cent. Horses and mules on farms,
however, show sufficient increase to
make the grand total for 1920 nearly a
million more than in 1910. The figures,
taken January l, 1920, show horses
and orse-drawn equipment at alb
solute minimum. AT that time, and
for two years previous, hay and grain
had been higher than ever before in
history, and man labor exceptionally
scarce. The radical reduction in
horse feeding costs andrelsxing labor
conditions, have both been responsi-
Dle for considerable return to horse
use. An adjustment is occurring and
will continue for the next year OF
more, which will show greater pro.
portion Of horses in city use for shor'
hauls and deliveries.

Preparedness Campaign 1924.

The Democratic National Commit
tee has inaugurated what is known as
the Preparedness Campaign 1921-24
and invites the corporation of Demo-
Gratis throughout the nation. The
measure of success of the campaign
will depend upon l. @ response it re-
ceives in the way OF financial contribu-
tions from the rank and file of the
party.
The Democratic National Commit
tee wishes every Democrat in the
country, men and women, to have
and to feel an interest in the CAM
paign to restore our party to power,
because the committee Is working In
the interest of the party as whole
and for the general good of our coun-
try.
To carry on its Preparedness Cam
paign effectively the National Com
mittee must have adequate funds. 1t
cannot appeal to the interests enjoy
ing special privileges, as the Repub-
licans do; it cannot ask few Demo-
Gratis of large means to bear more
than their fair proportion of expense;
it must therefore make its appeal di-
rect to the great body Of Democrats
who make up the party, who give it
its victories and control its sdestifg.
You are one OF that great body of
Democrats. 1t is your party as much
as the party of any other Democrat,
rich or poor, of whatever station in
life.
1t Is not necessary to remind Demo-
Gratis of their duty to their party or
their country. 1t is only necessary
on occasions to point out to them the
ways and means by which they can
perform that duty.
Whatever contributions you are
willing to make to. the Democratic
Preparedness Campaign 1921-24 will be
of double value If made now because
the great opportunity Of the party is
in the present when the Republican
party is making record of failure all
along the line.
/ No set amount is asked from any
one person, but only such an amount
as is within their present means and
inclination, large or small. Contribu-
tions will be promptly acknowledged.
i The time to lay the foundation for
success in the next Congressional and
| the next National Campaign is now.

Three Moonshiners Arrested at Piedmont.

Lawrence Barfield, Robert Moss
and Thomas Hall were arrested last
Monday on Black river, about three
miles west of Piedmont, while they
were in the act of manufacturing
moonshine whiskey, it is reported, by
Federal Officer M. L. Hogg of Poplar
Bluff.
AS related by our informant, the
still was located near what is known
as the old John Hackworth sawmill
site on Black river, and Officer Hogg,
while presumably busily engaged in
casting for Black river bass, watched
the boys for an hour or more while
they carried water from the river to
the still. Later on Mr.. Hogg followed
the boys to spot close enough to the
still that he could watch their opera
tions as they stirred off a batch OF
moonshine, He watched this process
for half an hour or SO, then closed in
on the boys and placed all three OF
them under arrest.
Hall, who is said to have recently
come to Piedmont from st. Louis
and Barf1eld, who has been resident
| of this county for several years, had
revolvers on their persons at the
time of their arrest. They were dis
armed and the prisoners, still ano
about four gallons of liquor were TAX
en- to Piedmont where the moon
sinners were placed in the holdovel
to await the arrival OF Uuited States
Marshal. Their cases will be tried II

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way TO cure catarrhal deafness
and that is by constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an In
famed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube IL
infamed you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when It is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to It's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases OF
deafness are caused by catarrh. which is
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system
