MEXICO HAS
LARGE SUPPLY OF
FOOD AND FUEL

Much interest is being taken in how
teh strike would find Mexico prepared
IN the way of food and fule supplies.
Inquiries from local dealers and insti-
tutions have developed the following
facts.
The wholesale grocers are prepared
with a supply of staples which would
last for about forty-five days if no
other food could be brought in. The
supply of fresh produce would of
course last just a short time but sur
ounded by farming country is Mexico
is, this would not affect the residents
here to a great extent.
AS to fuel, local merchants say that
the supply on hand is quite large and
Is coming in all the time but they
could make no estimate Of the amount
of time it would last if the strike
should be called. Missouri Military
Academy has a coal supply which
would last until the last of January
and Hardin College has such large
supply that there is no cause for un-
easiness.
The International Shoe factory gets
a weeks supply of raw materials from
st. Louis at time but is expecting
to be cared for by the st. Louis house
with sufficient mateials in plenty Of
time if the strike is called.
Representatives of the Missouri
Utilities Company said Tuesday morn
ing that if the strike must come the
company was in better position to
meet it than at any time in years.
There is enough coal on hand now to
last about two months and enough
coke to make gas for the same length
of time. Further than this the COM
pany has enough gas oil to last until
spring.
Local groceries say that housewives
are making no attempt tolay in large
supply of food in anticipating the
strike.
1t seems to be the general opinion
of merchants and professional men
her that the strike will come and that
conditions cannot improve until the
matter is definitely settled.

Be careful not to use stove polish

Don't allow rubbish of any kind to

Always remember that you must
take no chances with gasoline. 1t Is
one of the most dangerous materials
in common use. It must always be
kept in a tightly fastened can, never
in bottles. Never clean with gasoline
indoors.
Never look for gas with a match
or flame.
Never leave an electric device, ever
for a moment, without making SURF
that the current is turned off.

NO DOG TAX CAN
BE COLLECTED IN
MISSOURI UNTIL 1928

By ruling of attorney General
Barrett, the dog tax law which was
rassed by the general assembly, viii
not be effective until voted on by the
people. As the next general election
will not be held until November, 1922,
it is apparent that none Of the coun-
ties in the state can collect any tax
on dogs until 1928.

GOOD WElI TIER
CAUSES WHEAT
PRICES TO FALL

Chicago, June 7.-Wheat declined
In price today owing In I large de-
gree to excellent weather conditions
prevailing over the greater part Of
the winter crop belt Reports that
harvesting had commenced in Kan
sas tended also to give an advan-
tage to the bears. Trade was fairly
active Opening quotations, which
varied from lie lower to He advances,
with July 1.2sA to i.29x and Sep
TENDER 1.16A to lit, were followed
BY material setbacks all around.
Subsequently buying on the part
Of houses with seaboard connections
helped bring about an upturn in
prices. A bullish estimate, the most
radical yet, was also a factor. The
close was unsettled, 3ac NET lower
to a like advance with July 1.29X to
1.30, and 1.16A to lit.
Corn was easier in line with
wheat, although rural offerings Of
corn remained small. After OPEN
ing Nc to Nc lower, including July
at 6411@64hc to 64Ec, the market
underwent a further sag.
Announcement that vessel char
ters had been made for 1,500, 900
bushels Of corn to Montreal and
Buffalo had only a temporary
STRENGTHENING influence. The close
was heavy. NC to 11sc net lower
with July 63xc to 64c, and Sep
TENDER Csc to 651sc.
Oats paralleled the action Of
other grains, starting at &c OF to
