Stave Mills in Ozarks
Booming Since Repeal

Joplin, Mo.-An unprecedented
demand for whisky kegs has caused
wave Of unemployment through
the Missouri Ozarks.
The deeper one goes into the
Ozark country the greater the ac-
tivity encountered among the chop
pers and staYemakers.
1t was estimated that 200 stave
mills we're operating in southwest
Missouri. some having night shifts.
The weekly pay roll to mill hands
alone was estimated at $1,000, while
an estimate of the sum paid to tim
Der choppers was not available.
In addition to the wages paid the
landowners were receiving up to $50
an acre for white oak timber, which
until repeal cf the Eighteenth
amendment failed to bring more
than So an acre as firewood.
A cOoperage plant here was work
ing its entire force to keep up with
orders for whisky kegs.

And, while science calmly ex-

LeipZig.-A new form of lock
makes it possible to fasten the door
of your home, or of a room or desk,

is simple application of the prin-
ciple of the combination lock here

ber and pushes bHtton, when the

It was In 1874 that Mime. Bresh-
kovskaya was first arrested and
thrown into the dungeons Of the
Fortress of st. Peter and st. Paul.
For two years she waited In o prison
cell before she was brought to trial.
Then, having been released. she re-
sumed her revolutionary propaganda
and in consequence was again arrest
ed in 1873. This time she was exiled
to Siberia and sentenced to hard la
Dor in the mines. Once she attempt
ed to escape, and after fleeing 800
miles was recaptured and condemned
to suffer IS blows with the knout,
but this was subsequently changed to
an additional period Of imprison-
ment.
Family Is Shattered.
For % years Mime. Breshkov-
skaya remained an exile in Siberia.
She returned to Russia in 1896 to
find her father, mother, husband and
child whom she had left to fight for
the cause Of the people, either es-
tranged or dead. She was then more
than so years old, but began her most
active work in sowing the seeds of
the Socialist revolutionary party.
The government ordered her arrest
but she escaped to Switzerland and
came to the United States to enlist
support for the cause she espoused.
The beginning Of the revolution Of
1905-07 saw her back In Russia lead
ing In the general strike and agita-
ton. Again she was arrested in 1907
and this time perpetual exile was the
sentence imposed upon her. and when
66 years old she again passed over the
long road into exile. Once more she
escaped. but again was recaptured.
During q portion of her exile she was
permitted to live under police sur
veillance In the city Of Irkutsk.
With the fall Of the Romanoff
dynasty came her liberation in 1917.
Mime. Breshkovskaya remained for
more than six months in the United
States, speaking against what she
characterized as the injustice, terror
ism and cruelty" Of the Bolshevist re-
gime. When in New York she met
George Kennan, explorer and author
of books describing the horrors of the
Siberian prison system, whom she had
not seen for nearly IS years. Mr..
Kennan afterward declared her to be
zone Of the most heroic types of wom-
anhood" in the world. He had be-
friended Mime. Breshkovskaya when

travelling from town to town. She
wore peasant dress, used acids on her

BETTER HOG PRICES
EXPECTED FOR 1895
Contract Signers Urged to Fill Hog
Quotas With Spring Litters Be
cause of Better Outlook

= Benton county hog producers are
urged to breed enough sows and
gifts this fall to produce their full
contract quotas and be in q posi-
ton to take advantage of the fav-
orable ratio between feed prices
and hog prices indicated for 1885,
according to analysis of the out
look by r. N. Turner, extension
economist, reports Waldo SSkuse,
county agent. The specified reduc-
ton in the new 1885 corn-hog adj
justment contracts is expected TO
be considerably less than the pres
emit Is percent and should give
each producer ample margin to
build up his quota.
Heavy marketings due to the
drouth and the 1884 adjustment
program are expected to make the
number of hogs marketed In the
1934-35 season, the smallest in
more than 20 years. While pres
emit feed prices are not favorable to
heavy feeding profitable next fall.
Washington growers also have a
favorable differential in hog prices
as compared with Chicago due to
the state being q deficit area.
Feed prices are expected to be
lower next year because Of prob
ably increased paintings due to
present high feed prices. Conse-
quently, an ample supply Of low
er priced corn and feed grains is
expected to be available for feed
ing out the comparatively small
spring pig crop. While hog prices
are practically certain to be high
er next year, corn and feed prices
are not expected to advance unless
another serious drouth sweeps the
middle-western states.
