RECORD BREAKING
BUSINESS DURING 1919


jefferson CSity, Mo. Feb. T.
Printing, publishing and all allied in
dustries in Missouri, for the year
1919, reached the record breaking
worth of $62,079, 735, according to adj
vance information from the 1920 Red
Book of the Missouri Bureau of La
Dor Statistics given out for publica-
ton today by Commissioner William
| H. Lewis.
The industry ranks fifth in impor-
lance and total worth among all lines
of Missouri's huge diversified manu-
featuring, being exceeded only by
meat packing; boots and shoes; -four,
feed and meal, and automobile manu-
featuring, assembling and repairing.
The industry showed steady growth
in the last four years, the total worth
for 1917 being $55,61s,729, and for
1918, $59,362,484. Figures for 1920
are not yet available but early re-
turns from six extensive st. Louis
publishing plants forecast a total
worth for this year which will out
shine that of 1919.
More than half of the work was
done in st. Louis, according to the
bulletin of Commissioner Lewis The
figures show that the value of pro-
ducts manufactured in st. Louis in
1919 was $31, 93S,641. More than
half of the remainder was done in
Kansas City, the total for that mu-
nicipality being $16,365.477. St. Jo-
seph turned out $2,42S,655 worth OF
work and other cities and towns in the
state reported totals that aggregate
$11 ,365,001.
The growth along all lines of the
returns for the year 1919 over both.
1917 and 1918 show that there was
paid out that year for salaries ana
wages $21 ,5S3,654, while the value of
materials and supplies used amount
ed to $20,71t, 346. Rent, taxes and in
surance toraled $2.093,6OO, and the
miscellaneous disbursements were
$S,394,637. The invested capital is
listed at $36,647,9S9.
The number of persons employed
did not show so great an increase,
the total in 1919 being 1904 as COM
pared with 1901 in 1918 and 1878
in 1917. In 1919 the number of men
employed was $13,843 and the num-
Der of women, 4,19S.
Worth Of Planning Mill Products
A bulletin of the Missouri Bureau
of Labor Statistics on planning mill
products, cabinet work and finished
wood working indicates that a gain
Of more than a million dollars was
made in the total value of manufac-
tured products in this line from 1917
to 1919 the total worth for the latter
years being placed by this state al
thority at $7,07S,2Os.
Amounts paid in wages and salaries
in this industry, 1919, totaled 1884,
092, and for all raw materials and |
supplies used was $3,083.852. Per-
sons employed in this work in 1919
numbered 1,74s men and 6S women,
a slight gain over the number in 1917 |
when 1,719 men and 65 women were
employed in Missouri by the industry.

time-features, what reverential stu
dent can doubt that we are living in
the very dawn of he Golden Age which
is SO beautifully pictured in the Divine
Word? The majority of the people
are blind to this great fact. Indeed,
is it not again foretold by the same
Daniel-beloved of God--that the
wise only will understand, none of the
wicked shall understand? Daniel

At the present time the wise in the
Lords sight see men struggling on
and on, many of them selfishly grasp
ing the benefits of each new invention
as some new toy for personal ag-
grandizement, while many are using
other contrivances in the shape of the
merciless instruments of destruction
of their fellows for selfish ends. But
when the storm now bursting upon the
human race with such relentless fury
and, thank God! never to be repeated,
is over, then mankind will have learn
ed somewhat of that needed lesson,
The fear (reverence) of the Lord is
the beginning of wisdom psalm Ill:

bled to the dust they will perceive
that no real lasting progress toward
happiness and life is possible unless
there is restored this disposition as the
basic prncple.
"Tfe fear of the Lord" will then be-
come veritable fountain of life",
and each heart, in consequence, will
gradually become righteous. They
will then learn to know God, and this
knowledge will cause their hearts to
pulsate with increasing affection, and
the more so as they realize the unut-
terable goodness of God displayed in
providing in His plan and purpose "a
ransom for ALI through the sacrifice
of the man Christ Jesus, the only be-
gotten Son of God. And when in the
Millennial day mankind will see the
results of the Atoning Sacrifice-how
that, in consequence, all those who
have died in Adam will awaken by
power divine and be given a fair OPP
portunity to come back into complete
harmony with God-then they will
realize that the Glove of God is broad
er than the measure of mans mind"
Then the wonderful science of human
ingenuity will be of practical, whole
some utility in every homestead, as
under the auspices of the best of gov
ernments nothing will be allowed for
another's detriment and this will mean
general comfort. pleasure and edit
cation.
Then the precious reservoir of bless
ing from the dear Lords hano will
flow freely--a congenial climate, de-
pendable seasons. fertility of soil, and
more important still, His spirit will
be poured on all flesh. Thus gradually,
mental, moral and physical health
will be restored. Pain, fear, head
ache, heartache and sorrow will van
ish like mists before the sunrise; and
the last enemy to be destroyed will be
through the beloved Apostle John that |
every creature who will choose the
way of wisdom, love and life will say
with gratitude: blessing and honor
and glory and power be unto Him that |
stitch upon the throne, and unto the
Lamb forever."-The Golden Age.

Code System Disappearing Be-

c0uraged.
ABANDONED BY THE LEADERS
Change to Some Extent Forced by
Buyers, Many Insisting on Plain
Figures-Origin of Code Sys-
tenn Not Clearly Known.

New York.-Among the less notice
able aRd important changes that have
taken place in the business world in
the last few years has been the grad
ual disappearance of codes in connec-
ton with price tickets and the mark
ing of the values of the merchandise
in plain figures. While many concerns
still stick to pricing their lines in code,
the trade leaders have very largely
abandoned the practice Smaller con-
Germs have followed suit to some ex-
tent, but others have been loath to
put plain figures on their goods.
The change from code to figures in
marking prices, according to informa-
ton gained in this market, has been
forced to some extent by the buyers.
There are many retailers and special
buyers for the big stores who will not
patronize concern which hides its
prices behind code. The reason one
such buyer gave recently for this Is
that the code does not mean the same
to all buyers when translated into fig
ures. In other words, he asserted that
the use OF a code is merely a subter-
fuge by means Of which different buy
ers can be charged different prices for
the same merchandise without their
knowing it.
Origin Not Clear.
