Harding Prosperity in Butler County.
Poplar Bluff Republican

lfopldf bluu R6pupLlCdu'J
Industrial conditions in Poplar
Bluff do not look as bright as they
should at this time. 1t is reported on
good authority that all the timber
mills in this city will close between
now and the 10th of June unless some
of them are delayed in getting in
their logs that are out in the woods.
Every one of them is preparing to
close as soon as they cut up the ma
terial now on hands. If they run
steady this will be accomplished by
the 10th of next month.
While some of the operators are
pessimistic over the outlook others
think that the close down will be but
for a few weeks or a month or two.
Manufacturers of lumber from almost
every section of the country report
that the demand is strengthening and
that prices have risen in some cases,
which indicate that the worst is over
There 10 a saving factor before this
community and that is the fifteen
miles of state road that will be com
menced about the first OF June and if
the city bond issue goes through the
street paving that the taxpayers are
asking for will help absorb much OF
the labor that will be released by the
mills.
This condition is but part of the re-
adjustment that must come and the
sooner it comes the sooner it will be
over with.

Shannon Co. Hydro,EIeetrie Project.


The Current river in Shannon coun-
ty has been damned two miles below
the confluence of Jacks Fork river
with that stream. At that point the
Western tie and Timber Company
Of st. Louis, which has long operated
in the timber business in that section,
will put in a dam sixty feet in height
and more than a quarter of a mile
long. Electricity generated by the
power thus secured is to be transmit
ted to St. Louis for industrial use.
This Hydro Electric project is now
we'll in hand, with all interests har-
monized, and surveys have been COM

companies operating along the two
rivers have agreed to the project on
a stipulation that the dam company
is to raft their products through the

A CRAWLING Fish.

A Brazilian fish called the maltha
cannot swim. 1t can only crawl or
walk or hop. 1t has a long, upturned
snout and resembles a toad. The an
terror fins of the maltha are quite
small and are not able to net on the
water. They only move backward and
forward and are in reality thin paws,
which are of no service for swimming.

Thedford's Black Draught Highly
Recommended by a Tennessee
Grocer for Troubles r..
sulting from Torpid
Liver.

East Nashville, Tenn The effic-
iency of Thedford's Black raught, the
genuine, herb, liver medicine, is
vouched for by Mr.. W. N. Parsons, q
grocer of this city. "It is without
doubt the best liver medicine, and !
don't believe I could get along without
It. I take it for sour stomach, head
ache, bad liver, indigestion, and all
other troubles that are the result OF
a torpid liver.
Il have known and used it for years,
and car and do highly recommend it
to every one. l won't go to bed with
out it In the house. 1t will do all ii
claims to do. / can't say enough for
It,"
Many other men and women through.
out the country have found Black
Draught just as Mr. Parsons describes
valuable in regulating the liver to
its normal functions, and in cleansing
the bowels of impurities.
Thedford's Black-Draught liver medi.
cine is the original and only genuine.
Accept no limitations or substitutes.
Always ask for Thedford's. z. 80

MASTER BAKERS TO
 FILE INJUNCTION

Master bakers of Connecticut have retained attorneys to file an 1nJupc- ton restraining the state of Connecti- cut from enforcing the law passed at the last session of the Legislature. requiring bakers to put out standard ioaves of bread weighing a pound, pound and one,half or multiples of a pound, it was brought out at spe- cia! meeting of the State Bakers as sociation held yesterday at the Stratfield hotel.
 The present standard loaf is 22 ounces and wholesa1es for 12 cents Papers will be filed in the Supreme court at Hartford within the next two weeks by Judge Jervis D. Brown of the bakers. The law has never been enforced by the state and since it re- ceived it's final approval on the sec ond of last June, local bakers have claim that they cannot possibly live up to the law and give the public a square deal. They declare that it's e11forcement would make it impossi- bie to reduce the price of the pres ent loaf as they have been contem- plating for some time.
 The matter was brought to a head
 by sealer of Weights and Measures nounced that beginning today he would, on his own account, without the sanction of the attorney general
 N".- Haven, enforce the law in that city.
 This determination caused the New Haven bakers to institute beginning 1 tomorrow, a standard loaf of brea q weighing 24 ounces, which will be sold in that city for the same price as the 22 ounce loaf that is now be ing sold, or 12 cents, wholesale. Thus New Haven brtsad eaters will be re- ceiV1ng the benefit of the contro- versy.
 There will be no change in this city until the settlement of the intun,c- tton as the SeaIer of Weights and Measures does not plan any move unt1I he receives word to begin en- forcement of the law from the at torney general.

Dec 1.-The fighting spirit of Marshal Foch was aroused last night when he left his special train here, passed the spot where four members of the American Legion were slain on Armisffce Day, 1913, and then in the city park ad- dressing thousands of people, declared that he enlisted under the banner Of the American Legion "to do ba Sls against anarchy and disorder
