t NOTICE OF SPECIAL STATE ELECTION. BUILD THE CAPITOL NOW. Across the bridge of “Do it now” lies the state of “get there.” Mis- souri is a great commonwealth, a magnificent empire within herself. She is capable of the largest and best in every line of growth ana development. In the absence of a capitol building, shall this mighty people procrastinate and _ fiddle along for years before tak’4g favor- able action in the matter? It would be a shame to make a foot- ball out of the capitol question and kick it about over the grid- iron of state polities through the next campaign. It would be a dis- grace to keep the issue before the people for a decade. Why not rise up like men of action and settle the matter on August 1st for all time to come by carrying the $3,500,000 proposition? - Notice is hereby given that pursuant to an act of the 46th general assembly of the state of Missouri,’ approved March 24th, 1911, an election will be held on TUESDAY, AUGUST 1, 1911, at the various polling places in said state for the purpose of the ratification thereat by the voters of said state of an act, in words and figures as follows: PROPOSAL OF AN ACT OF THE 46TH GEN- ERAL ASSEMBLY UF MISSOURI FOR THE RATIFICATION THEREOF BY THE VOTERS OF SAID STATE AT AN ELEC- TION TO BE HELD FOR THAT PURPOSE ON TUESDAY, AUGUST, 1}, 1911 Said act of the general asrembly being in words and figures as follows to-wit: AN ACT Anthorizing and directing the contracting of the Hability of the state of Missouri by the iesnance of its etate bonds in a sum, not to exceed three and one-half millions of dollars, and for the sale of said bonds, to provide means for the building, farnishing and other equipment of a new state capitol at the pres- ent seat of government of the state, and for the purchase of additional state capitol prem- {aes, and also providing for the payment of said bonds and interest accruing thereon.

Besides you have ten- nis, golf, baseball—any of the outdoor sports you’re used to athome. Bathing places, fam- ous for the medicinal quality of their waters—beautiful parks, in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains, where bands play, the latest ‘‘wrinkle” in amuse- ment features is found.

Those nurs- eries that insist on replacing all dead | stock at half price may have enough of it to do in the spring, providing the purchaser cares to try again, to. the extent of paying fifty cents more on | the dollar, It looks odd to see anyone bringing a scuttle of coal in the kitchen, in the middle of these hot days, and odder still to see them dump a portion of it into the kitchen range. The lady who just won’t have an oil stove when she can have one as well as not is to be pitied. They are a great comfort through the summer months, and a great saving in fuel expense as well. Others besides the auto owners are having tire troubles these days. The blacksmiths are hardly allowed time to sleep by the wagon and buggy tires that require tightening. Nothing gets on one’s nerves quite like tinkering with an old binder in short grain, thata new machine will not elevate and bind without trouble.

The roots of a stalk of corn are a study in themselves. Did you ever carefully dig up a corn plant, preserv- ing its- roots as nearly as_ possible, and in the shape and direction they grew? It is worth while to doit. In dry times like these corn roots. will go a long ways after moisture. The scourge of flies, the dry, dusty ‘pastures and the hot weather all con- tribute toa decrease in the flow of milk. On account of the flies, I have bedtime at night, and as early in the morning as possible. The morning's milking grows lighter and lighter, yet it takes nearly as long as ever to get it. With low prices for butter fat, and all these difficulties, there’s no deny- ing the fact that dairy farmers are laboring under enough discourage- ments. Some havea water scarcity added to all the rest. Stacking hay out in the meadow i going to be a costly risk this season. I used to keep all my hay in that way became too expensive for me. The waste usually amounted to from one- fifth to one-third, and all the rest was | of many elec damaged more or less. where it may suffer the maximum damage after awhile. Dynamite is coming into general use on the farm for blasting rocks and stumps and for digging holes for tree planting and many other purposes. If it will do what the makers claim for it, it has agzreat future before it, but it must be remembered that it is a fool killer that has no respect for in- nocent bystanders.

N.Y. Money Plenty to Move Crops. Washington, July 16.-—Preliminary estimates by treasury officials indi- eate diminishing probabilities of a money stringency during the crop moving. months this year. In July the banks of the central reserve cities will finance dividend and_ interest payments aggregating 230 million dol- lars. The bank of New York City alone have furnished 34 million dol- lars for Panama bond payments and about 30 million for the corporation tax. Treasury officials think this may result in some hardening of money rates, but they look for no tight money. In addition to the trade balance which aggregates 515 million dollars, according to last estimates, 100 million dollars is considered avail- able from Europe on account of the sale of American securities clude their trips Thursday.
