ON LOCAL SUBJECTS
Local Items and Interesting Bits Of
News Of All Sorts


Wilbur Andrews, of the An
drews Broom Company of Chilli
cothe, was here on business for
his company Friday and called
and contracted for advertising
space in The Blade to begin next
week. The products of the An
drews factory are handled in
Laclede by the Farmers Ex-
change.
This state has a dog law de-
signed to protect sheep but it is
poorly enforced. Several farmers
about Laclede have reported los =
ses lately from dogs invading
their flocks. There are many
worthless ours running at large,
some of them without any home
while others are kept by families
who are hardly able to feed
themselves and the dogs natural
ly become rovers about the coun-
try and do much damage. What
is needed is a stringent dog law
rightly enforced.
In The Blade today will be
found the announcement of Miss
Martha Lander, of Brookfield,
as a democratic candidate for
circuit clerk. Miss Lander is
now serving as deputy for the
present clerk, H. H. Lamb, and
has thus become thoroughly ia.
miliar with the duties of the
Office. She is the only woman
to a place OF the ticket
and this fact together with her
universal popularity xmong
friends and acquaintances and
her unquestioned fitness for the
office bespeaks for her a very
cordial support at the polls.

vanced in growth the thinning does

ltilized ground and the highest

titled, the plants, given a distance

rows after transplanting and. kept

why any gardener shouldn't have
reasonably good head lettuce. The
great problem in lettuce growing
is TO keep it growing without q

- Samter is a center for the lum-
ber industry, but there is very
little OF that lumber manufactured
into products here. The coffin fac
tory, the veneer mill. the sash. blind
and door mills, and other like in
dustries do use quite bit. but
then large proportion is shipped
away in the unnanpfactured form.
There viii probably be more
vegetables shipped out Of this state
this spring than ever before, and
a large part of these shipments
must be packed in boxes or crates.
These could easily be made in Sum-
ter, and group Of the Young Men $
Business League is looking into
the question of the establishment
of such an industry. Publicity has
been given through the Manufac-
turers Record, and letters have
been written to various parties and

is put on business while it is IN

The bonus paid to any individual
would be but a small amount in

TOO GOOD TO BE TREE.


AS a result of the recent stock
swindle in Chicago, Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty is urging joint
federal and state action IL check
the activities of wildcat, stock
promoters, The United States Sc
cre1 service will speed up its ef-
forts iu all the fields. in which it
may act legally. State governors
and attorneys general and blue
sky commissioners are urged TO get
together to frame uniform laws 10
protect the investor and punish the
crooks. -
All this is good, and doubtless
will tend to lessen the enthusiasm
OF the deliberately crooked stock
dealer. 1t may even give pause
TO the visionary whose honesty
cannot be questioned, but whose
ignorance OF men or of the matter
in hand leads him to deceive him
self and his friends.
But what is needed even more
than control OF the sales end is TO
drive home to every. man with a
little money to invest the fact that
the investment which sounds too
good ro be true generally is; and
to teach MIN to turn q deaf ear to
any friend or stranger who offers
him such. bargains

Thos. v. Lamont Denies "Ex-

New York, Feb. 2G.-Less than
$8l8. 600, 900 of the original total OF
s2,587 100000 in loans 70 the allied
governments in Europe, issued
publicly in the United States, is
now outstanding.
This was announced today by
Thomas ". Lamont Of J. P. Morgan
& CO.. who said it had frequently
been said that american bankers
were urging cancellation Of The al
lied debts ron the theory that they
are heavy holders Of European
bonds.
$50 many inaccurate and exaS-
gerated statements have been nl2de
as TO the amount Of European gov
ernment loans now held by private
investors in this country" Nr. La
mont said, that it may be Of af-
vantage TO throw some light o.: the
situation. Statements as 70 the
amount of foreign government in
debIedness held by Americans have
been as high as five billion dollars,
For such statements as these
there arre no supporting facts what
s0eVer.
"Of the total amount of these al
lied government loans still out
standing, the amount held b. baxk-
ers themselves, as shown by .,are-
ful canvass, is negligible. Bank
ers are merchants. They buy Sc
curit;es believed by them 10 ne
sound and sell them TO investors.
In the same way these foreign loans
| were distributed among she ;cvest-
ors Of the country, who still hold
them.f
Mr.. Lamont added that tbs sub
I ject was entirely apart from the in
deb1edness Of Great Britain, france
and Italy to the United States gov
ernment.
