THE MIDDLE WEST SEES
BUSINESS BOOM AHEAD

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Sept. 29.-The
channels of trade are broadening and
the waters are running smoother
than they have done Tor some time,
according to statistics compiled by the
federal reserve bank of this district.
The clearing houses of this district
ARE now handling more than a billion
dollars a month. Most of these clear
ings" are carried on by a system of
exchange between the different banks
which are members of the federal re-
serve system.
Mercantile trade in some lines is
steadily improving, there is one actN-
ity in fall buying. There has been a
marked reductation in pank loans
and bank deposits steadily mount
higher.
Coal production is low. 1t averages
approximately about so per cent of
capacity in this district. Lead and
zinc production continues to stagnate.
Crude oil production continues to
maintain steady average in Oklaho-
ma, but shows a slight reduction in
Kansas and Wyoming.
That the rental stringency which
has prevailed for some time past will
probably be relieved soon is indicated
in the increase of 20 per cent in build
ing permits throughout the district
which this review records.
There has been a heavy movement
of wheat from the farms into market
channels. Last months receipts from
four markets show an increase of 173
per cent above the record Of a year
ago.

a bowl Of apples and a book and q
crate fiae blazing high.
What greater joy can man possess,
what deeper comfort buy?
So sit me down on the autumn nights
with a book to thrill my soul,
And I'll be content while the log fire
burns and the apples fill the bowl.
For this is a dual life we lead, what
ever a man believe,
There's the life of strife with its hours
Of care and the hours that he
must grieye,
But his other life IS a term Of peace
when he finds the cloistered hooks
And walks and talks with the mystic
friends in the pages of his books.

been halted in the course of construc-
ton. This has effectually stopped any
downward trend in rentals. In some
of the downtown apartments the trend
has even peen slightly upward for
choice apartments. Builders. agents
land renters agree that until building
is resumed in full blast there Is little
prospect of rent reductions here. Re-
establishment OF stable labor conei-
tions in the building trades promises
to be followed by tridal wave OF
home building and n consequent les
sening of demand for apartments.
This 1t Is expected in another year
will result in drop in rentals. Real
estate dealers report more people are
showing an interest in home owning
than ever before.

TITBITs FOR THE EPlcURE
Island Of Cuba Contributes Fig 5a-

preeiated Delieaelea

visit to Cuba, when a northward bound
passenger or an enterprising MEM

fruit are always glad to receive them
in any quantity, for they are so pi-
quaint in appearance and rich in flavor
that they are sold as soon as seen.
They are no bigger than your finger.
Cuba, alas, is most noted for dellca-

These guava skins are a very un-

speciality as far as that land of fruits

They have majorities in both houses
safe majorities-and ought to be able
to pass any bill they please. They
have chance to give the cities home
rule within thirty days. But what do
they do? They reject their own coun-
sells; they spurn their own plans; they
balk at their own preachments.
A home rule bill for st. Louis is pre-
scented and duly squelched, by vote
of So to 3S, following a short confer
ence with the Governor. Why? Be-
cause the Republicans now have the
appointing power, and Republican
Governor can name the metropolitan
boards, taken in connection with the
strong possibility of st. Louis electing
a Democratic Mayor, and the further
fact that the Mayor Of Kansas City is
Democrat
If any further evidence is needed to
prove that the Republicans of Nilsson

NEW ATTITUDE To-
WARD FARMING

Even declining markets and restrict
ed credit cannot detract from the re-
spect with which agriculture is now re-
garded. The day Of the "hayseed" is
past. In bringing about this change
in our own state, the Missouri College
of Agriculture has been the leading in
fuence, says George V. Saffarans of
Marion County, Vice-President of the
Missouri Farm Bureau Federation.
He continues:
81 am simply amazed at the scope
of the work that the Missouri College
of Agriculture is doing. attended
the University some 35 years ago and
at that time it was almost disgrace
to study agriculture. At any rate the
is or 20 boys taking that course under
Sanborn were heaped with ridicule.
DR.. S. S. Laws was then President of
the University, and the greatest man
have ever known. He looked farther
into the future than most men of that
time and ne then said that Agriculture
was destined to occupy the most prom
inent place in the curriculum of the
University"
The fact is, according to recent re-
port by the Registrar Of the Univer-
sity of Missouri, the College of Agri-
culture now has next to the largest
enrolment among the several schools
Of the University, being second only
to the Department of Arts and Scienc.

ri State College in regard to Early
Potato Blight show that this disease
is widely prevalent, not only through
out Southeast Missouri, but all over
the country 1t takes from one-fourth
to one-half Of the potato crop every
year. This means a heavy loss to
the country and is one that can be
avoided. If potato vines are sprayed
with Bordeaux mixture throughout
the growing season every ten days
from the time that they are four or
five inches high, they will be free from
Early Blight. This simple and easily
applied treatment would save hun
dreds of thousands of dollars to South
east Missouri every year. Further
information concerning this serious
pest can be secured by writing to the
biology department of the Southeast
Missouri State College.

USE OF LIMESTONE INCREASES

Thirty-six Missouri county agents
who have done considerable work to
improve the acid soils in their coun-
ties report that 1904 tons of lime7
stone were applied in their counties
during 1920 considerably more than
the amount used intthe entire state in
any preceding year.
Perry county farmers, for instance,
were determined to grow clover and
for this purpose used 6400 tons of
lime last year. Rails and Cape Girar-
deau were close seconds, for in each
county limestone was used on more
than 100 farms. In st. Louis, St.
Charles, Bates, Cole. Pettis, Cass and
Jasper counties large amounts Of lime
stone were applied,
Where limestone was widely used
during recent years its value has been
so clearly demonstrated that the prac-
tice of lining sour soils will soon be-
come universal

WHEN YOUR OWN OK is GoRED

Treatment of the home rule bill by
the Missouri Republican House proves
what a vast difference there is be-
tween the~state of being in power,
with fun responsibility, and out of
power, with no responsibilities. Mis-
souri, republicans have been shouting
for 1'local self-government", "home
rule'', for thirty years. Their news
paper organs have exhausted voeab-
ularies in picturing the evils Of state
control of the cities; their orators
have worn CREST holes in the atmo-
sphere by the sheer pressure Of their
vehemence in denouncing the system,
which has been In vogue in Missouri
for all time. No Republican platform
has been considered complete without
a few burning sentences about the in
EQUITIES Of inficting police boards,
election officials, excise officers, and
the like, upon the suffering people OF
the cities without their leave or con-
sent. Now, what have we?
For the first time since the Civil
War, Missouri Republicans are in full
control of the executive and legisla-
tive branches Of the state government.

why Coins Are struck.

The principal reason why coins are
struck instead Of cast is that molten
metals contract on cooling. Thus
counterfeit coins, which are always
cast, show fatal variations in Size,
which authentic shaped coins do not.
Secondly, it is impossible to get the
same sharpness Of delineaticn as In
stamping, and lastly when the stalhp-
ing machine is once set up he
process of striking coins is cheaper
and more rapid than that of casting
ever could be.

German Folkaonus.

In few countries has music formed
so vital part Of the national life
as In Germany. 1t Is therefore not
strange that the German Volkslieder
should treat of ordinary everyday life
and Of the deeper emotions rather than
Of violent and constant changes of feel
ing. The Volksleider have usually
small compass; they move either Dy
step or within the limits OF simple
chord; for this reason they can gen.
orally be harmonized by the use OF the
tonic and dominant chords. especially
as they almost invariably use our ordi-
nary major scale 1t is, indeed, chiefly
owing to their influence that this scale
and its characteristic harmonies be-
came so strong factor In modern mu-
sic. The German songs show love

Putting Mystery to Work.

Let no one argue that because the
mind Is still intangible and probably
always will be to mortal man-that
psychology Is impracticable, writes r.
II. Fiatt, Jr., in the Worlds Work.
Electricity is an unknown quantity (;
no one knows whence 1t cometh or
whittier 1t goeth; yetit would be hard
to find anything more practical than
an electric fan on sweltering day
to take one of the least and most
homely Of its uses. Although mysteri-
GUS, electricity can be directed, its
reactions predicted, and its power as
certained. The result Is that the ele-
ment is exceedingly useful.
