Jefferson City, November 19.— | Like the revenues of an empire are |the figures in the new 1910 Red | Book for Missouri's surplus products for 1908. The enormous total of $342,542,903, an increase of almost $28,000,000 over the previous year’s production, includes only such com- commodities as were, during the twelve months considered, hauled, driven afoot or shipped to market from the 114 counties of Missouri. After a year of hard-work Labor Commissioner J. C. A. Hiller and Supervising Statistician A. T. Ed- monston of the Bureau of Labor Sta- tistics have made public some inter- esting facts and figures on the wealth and high standing of Missouri, ‘‘the {poultry queen of the union,’’ a title which will cling for years to come. | All is set forth in an up-to-date an en- \tertaining fashion in the 1910 report of that department, which publication ‘is now so generally and widely, * “30,000.00 | known as the ‘‘Red Book.” $756,948.08 | Millions in Live Stock. | The largest one item in Missouri's 1909 vast array of wealth is that for live stock, which amounted to $136,- | Condition of the $212,711.81 . 337,078.49 928.82 12,128.74 37,303.36 4,000.00 ..__ 152,796.86 $756,948.08 $110,000.00 «. 105,897.12 . $11,050.96 | ; noes banking busi- eposits and granting furs amounted to 521,025 pounds, and | having a value of $104,205.

It advertis- | es Missouri as the ‘“‘booster state’’ of the Union because its inhabitants are all state boosters. Johnson County Poultry Show.

The surplus eggs for the year num- | bered 148,730,094 dozens, and the surplus poultry, live and dressed, had a total weight of 210,304,192 pounds, The values of the two commodities were almost neck and neck for the season, and each practically reached the $24,000,000 mark. Facts and Figures. Next to the farmyard products in values during the year of 1909 comes the classification of farm crops, which amounted to $38,462,756, and includ- ed all the field crops, such as corn, wheat, oats, hay, flax, rye, cotton, tobacco, etc. Fourth in value come the mine and quarry products, reaching a total val- uation of $31,367,173, followed by the forest products, worth $23,841,357. Other classifications in the list of surplus wealth are: Mill products, apiary and cane; dairy (worth $14,- 570,935); Missouri corncob; nursery, liquid, fish and game, packing-house, cotton, medicinal, vegetable and can- ned goods, fresh fruit, wool and mo- hair, stone and clay and miscellan- eous. The figures for the poultry depart- ment, of wide interest because this is a product found on every farm, show an enormous growth for the surplus during the last nine years. In 1900 the surplus was rated at $12,843,022, while for 1909 the fig- ures are nearly quadrupled, with the total of $45,902,655. The year’s feathers, in a quantity of 1,695,588 pounds, brought $678,235. Ross Crane. Ross Crane was here last night, says the Wausau (Wis.) Daily. He was advertised as a cartoonist and a modeler in clay. The program prom-| ised an ‘‘Art-Recital,”’ and the ‘pros- pect of a good entertainment filled the auditorium. What is he? He made pictures with a few strokes of the crayon that caused roars of laugh- ter. Is that being an cartoonist? He mixed clay with his hands and threw | it with reckless abandon upon an easel, and io! the form of a man, the types of nationalities and the features of well-known characters appeared. Is that being a ‘‘modeler in clay?” He sat at the piano and ranged at will between the ridiculous and the sub- lime, between the hilarious and the pathetic. Did that entitle him to take part in an ‘‘Art-Recital?”’ His handiwork could not be im- proved upon, for it was the stroke of a master hand. Like magic chaos gave way and the lines carlessly drawn assumed definite form and shape, and in turn appealed to the laughing, the tender and the impres- sive side of humanity. And why? Because the soul of the true artist was back of it all.—At Butler Opera House, Tuesday, Nov. 29, 1910.

SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Pearl St. N.Y, Stone Age Skeletons Found. London, Nov. 21.—A_ remarkable discovery of the skeleton of a man and woman belonging to the stone age, which antiquarians consider of priceless value, has been made by men who were laying a conduit near the line of the bed of the River Ivel. They were examined by Doctor Wad- dell, a well-known antiquary, who at ° once gave it as his opinion that they belonged to the Neolithic period and are of great importance to the world of science. The male is believed to have been a chieftain, and he must have been a man of magnificent physique, as the skeletons measures 6 feet 6 inches, while the head is massive. The wo- man was laid at right angles to the man, with her feet resting against the side of his body. Apparently when her lord died she had been slain and buried with him, according to prehis- toric custom. Both skeletons are complete and in a good state of pre- servation, due to the nature of the soil. Their ultimate resting place will in all probability be the British Museum. Saves an Iowa Man’s Life. The very grave seemed to yawn be- fore Robert Madsen, of West Bur- lington, Iowa, when, after seven weeks in the hospital, four of the best physicians gave him up. Then was shown the marvelous curative power of Electric Bitters. For, after eight months of frightful suffering from liver trouble and yellow jaun- dice, getting no help from other remedies or doctors,) five bottles of this matchless medicine completely cured him. Its positively guaranteed for stomach, liver or kidney troubles and never disappoints. Only 50c at F. T. Clay’s. Proud of His Signature. A salesman calling on a customer found him signing a number of checks and throwing many curves and flour- ishes into his signature. The sales- man’s patience becoming exhausted in waiting for the buyer to recognize him, finally observed: “You havea fine signature, Mr. So-and-So.” “Yes,” admitted the buyer, ‘‘I should have. One of my forefathers signed the Declaration of Independence.” “So?” said the caller, with rising in- flection, And then he added: ‘‘Vell, you ain’d got nottings on me.
