Last seasun we manufac- tured 512,000 pounds of twine, and every pound was sold and shipped to points in the State of Missouri. We have bought « supply of raw materi- al and are now manufacturing twine for the corn harvest in September. Next year we expect to make some- thing like @ million or a million and a half pounds of twine. We are sell- ing this twine at 8" cents per pound. SaaS. i. For the purpose of prying off the lid and repenling the beer inspection law St. Louis brewing firms are re- ported to have appropriated one millon dollars with which to pur- chase outright all the country papers forsale. It is needless to say that they can buy a junkshop in nearly every town in the state.—Albany Ledger. The Ledger appears to be follow- ing some of the disreputable methods practiced in the last campaign of making wid asaertions of that kind in order to intimidate others from expressing their honest convictions, Tur Times i: in favor of the enforce- ment of the Sunday laws, but if we honestly held to the contrary, like many «ood people of Missouri, we would not be intimidated by such balderdash. Papers that make those kind of assertions are either under suspicion or have a mighty itching palm and weigh others in their own half bushel. ee We tip our head piece to Mrs. Sena- tor W. A. Clark, of Montana, re- marks the DeKalb County Demo- evet. A few years ago she was in Butte, pretty, poor and pure. The upper crust of society didn’t know her then. Last week she came back _ to Butte as the wife of SenatorClark, atger an absence of three years. The regal “four hundred” hastened to call upon her. But they never got any further than the door. Mrs. Senator Clark was only at home to those who recognized Miss La Chap- pelle in-other days. It raised a hub bub amonr the “400,” but to all en- treaties Mrs. Clark sweetly replied, fly who will not fellowship with a upon her when she becomes rich is a men who do as Mrs. Clark ts doing is sweet girl when she is poor, but fawn| « THE LADIES’ CEMETERY ASSOCIATION'S GOOD WORK. There has been a marvelouschange | ciation took charge. To rile over | the grounds now one would hardly | recogniz® it as the same of a year! The unsightly ofa buildir southwest cor age and feed lot in th have all been removed and gras- is| growing instead. The grass and we ver! | weeds have been mowed six times this season, some trees removed and oth ers trimmed up, graves cleaned off, and the grounds made presentable. The ladies of the association arecon- tending for one concession with which Tue Times heartily agrees. They are asking thecity council toestablish & grade and have all lot owners con- form to it. A great many have ter- raced up their lots, while others have not and the effect on the eye, of this uneaven appearance, is anything but pleasing. The ladies properly con- tend that the grounds should be per- fectly smooth, eo that a mower pass. ing over will leave aneaven surface, of lawn like appearance, and let the head stones mark the graves. The beautiful cemeteries in the cities are all kept that way, and it makes a won- dertul difference in the appearance of the cemetery asa whole, The coun- ell bas passed an ordinance forbid- ingany more terracing oflots. Some will contend, and with some justitica- tion, that they have been at much trouble and expense in fixing thetr lots in that manner, and it would be 4 hardship to have them torn down. In public enterprises, where so many are intereated,a few must conform to a@standard that benefits the whole, and the improved appearance this would bring aboutshould readily rec oncile all. THe Times commends and applauds the splendid assistance the Ladies’ Cemetery Association is giving the city council {n keeping up and beautifying the cemetery grounds, and we urge upon every one who owns a lot, or has a relative buried there, to join the association and thereby assist the good work. From a pecuniary view it will be economy, for the association has had the graves mowed six times already this season, which would have cost an individual owner of a single lot $3.00. The membership dues are only $1.00 per year. TAKE CARE OF THE CROWD. A number of our farmers attended the state Fair at Sedalia last week and all report a big time and speak in the highest terms of the fair. One day the attendance reached nearly fifty thousand. Two days it was rained out. The only criticism one hears {s that Sedalia does not ap- pear able to properly care for the large crowds. Her hotel facilities are inadequate and the restaurants and boarding houses are simply swamped. Of course this trouble is his way,met with ina town the size of Sedalia and under. Iteven taxcs St. Joseph to take care of a state convention. But in thecase of Seda- lia, this stated institution fs located there and for one week each year her citizens should prepare for and prop- erly take care of the visitors. While the majority attended the Fair, like an exposition, for educational pur- poses, they all consider i¢ more or less an outing and go prepared to pay their way and they are entitled to at least the comtorts of life while] q there. It doesn’t add to the success of a great enterprise like that when visitors have to sleep in the parks and on door steps or walk the streets all night and are unable to buy wholesome meals properly prepared. These comments are made in all kind- ness, and by the time another year rolls around we hope Sedalia will do herself proud by overcoming those obstacles. Itis said that William Allen White, the noted Kansas editor, went to St. Louis last Sunday with the avowed purpose ofsticking his finger through the lid and having a laugh at the ex- pense of Missouri’s executive. After a fruitless search for an open back door he gave it up and bought Gov. Folk a dinner at the Planter’s. He reports that the Germans were actu- ally. drinking ginger ale out at Lemp’spark Shakespear sayssome- thing about a rose smelling as sweet under another name. Possibly Will- fam Allen didn’t sample the kind of “ginger ale” the Germans were drink- “thetriends of Mies La Chapelle then, |ing..

In the final struggle the Russians achieved the victory. For the sake of peace the Japanese, with a mag- nanimity worthy of their heroic achievements in this war, met the ulsimatum of the czar and abandon- ed their demands not only for reim- bursement for the cost of the war, but for the repurchase of the north- ern half of Sakhalin. Russia at the same time agreeing to division of the island. WHAT JAPAN GAINED AND FAILED TO GAIN, 1. Recognition of Japan’s prepon- derating infl sence in Korea.” 2.

Fight Will Be Bitter. Those who will persist in closing their ears against the coptinual recommendation of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, will havealong and bitter fight with their troubles, if not ended earlier by fatal termination.

From the pure fountain of nature flows the stream of energy and health, which renews and invigorates our race. Not.only do we get inspiration from nature, but health as well. To live in the open, in the sunshine, in the fields or wooas, drinking pure air into the lungs, is best for those who have the op- portunity. For people who are run-down, g nervous, suffering from occasional indigestion or dyspepsia, head- aches, night - sweats, whose machinery has ys become wom, it comes necessary to turn to some tonic or @ strengthener which will help them get on their feet. For centu- ries it has been known that nature’s most val- Pa uable health - giving agents are roots, herbs, barks and berries, an ™ some fo: years ago Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief ( wr consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. found a combination of roots, herbs and barks, taken from the fields and woods and made into an alterative extract, that pro- duced results in the system whigh were satisfactory in cases of blood disorder and stomach trouble. This concentrated ex- tract of nature’s vitality purifies the blood by putting the stomach into lage con- dition, A Ha! the assimilation of food which feeds the blood, and putting the liver into activity. Nervousness and sleep- lessness are usually due to the fact that the nerves are not fed on roperly nourished blood. oki Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis- covery makes pure, rich blood, and thereby all the organs of the body are run smoothly. You feel strong and strenuous, and are good for a whole lot of physical or mental work. Best of all, the st: and increase in vitality and health are > E of Dr. Pierce's Med- teal bears the stamp of public approval. the dealer to offer you good” at to something he claims is "just as insult you: * telligence.

Jefferson City, Ang. 26 —The far famed Missouri muls wil! have a kick coming when he learns that he must yield the palm of precedence to the Missouri hen John H. Nolen, chief elork of the Missouri Bureau of Labor Statistics, has completed the work of compiling the statistics from the 114 counties of Missouri regarding the poultry product of the state. Theactual surplus poultry product of the state, belng the amount ship ped out of the various counties, and making no allowance for the vast quantity consumed at home, is re- vealed in the following figures: During the year 1904 the quantity and value of surplus products thus shipped were as set out below: ; Poultry (live) pounds, 168,454,- 747, at 8 centa, $13,476,379.76. Poultry (dressed), pounds, 48,553,- 636, at 10 cents, $4,855,363.60. Eggs, dozens, 93,007,415, at 14 cents, $13,021,046.10. Feathers, pounds, 642,607, at 45 cents, $289,973.15, Total valucs, $31,642,762 61. If Missouri’s surplus poultry prod- uct had been shipped to market on one train last year, the train would have been composed of 20,751 cars and would have been 157.2 “niles long. It would require 10,529 cars to do the Cascade. It’s worth more money.

PUBLIC SALE. 213 Head of Live Stock. The monthly Live Stock Sale Co., will sell at public auction to the highest bidder at MCMULLENS Feed yard, Butler, Mo. Saturday, September 2d, 1905 the following described live stock. 63 Head of Cattle, consisting of 26 head of 2 year old native steers of good weight and quality. 24 head high grade yearling steers and 10 head of stock cows and heifers. 80 Head of Stock Hogs, Consisting of 50 head of 50 Ib. shoate and 30 head of 100 Ib. shoate, also 1 thoroughbred Pol- and China boar and several sows with pige by their sides. 70 Head of Breeding Ewes, to be sold in lots of ten.

Special terms of six months time given on 23 head of 2-year steers. Note to bear 8 per cent interest from date. SALE BEGINS at1 o’clock p m., Farmers and stockmen should patronize thissale. These month- ly sales present a fine opportuni- ty to secure good stock and it ts especially to the interest of far- mers and stockmen to have them continued every month, A. L. FOX, carry the live poultry, allowing 16,- 000 pounds to the car; 2,428 cars, 20,000 pounds to the car, for the dressed poultry; 7,751 cars, allowing 400 cases to the car, to carry the eggs, and forty-three cars, allowing 15,000 pounds to the car, to carry the feathers, And this is only about two fifths of the poultry produet of Missouri, the remaining three-fifths being consum- ed at home. In the shipment of live poultry last year, Monroe county led, with 17,- 883,641 pounds. Salinecounty ship- ped more dressed poultry than any othercounty in the state, hersurplus product being 5,304,053 pounds. Green county leads in the shipment of eggs, her product being 5,548,830 dozen. POULTRY A BY-PRODUCT, The most remarkable thing about the poultry production, considering ite immense value, is the fact that fn nearly every instance it is carried merely as & by-product of the Mis- souri farm, comparatively little at- tention being paid to it, and very little actual capital invested in ft, so that is nearly all profit. It is estimated that not to exceed two-titths of all the eggs and poultry produced were shipped out of the various counties. Using this as a basis of calculation it will be seen that the total value of the poultry product was $79,106,906.50. This amount is greater by $6,000,000 than the total value of the corn pro- duced in twenty-four states of the United States last year, according to the United States Government esti- mates, and is greater by $2,000,000 than the total value of the corn, oats and wheat produced in ten of the states, The value of the surplus poultry product shipped from a single Mis- souri county last year (Monroe) was Managers. but a few thousand dollars less than the value of all the corn produced in nine states of the Union, and there are several other Missouri counties not far behind Monroe jin their poul- try product.
