Christmas Made Merry for Poor Kid- dies by Tag Day Collection $102.71 was collected through the sale of tags for Christmas gifts for the poor children Saturday, by the young ladies who volunteered to help in this worthy cause. The young ladies met with a ready response from all who understood the object of the collection and about 750 tags were sold. The ladies sell- ing tags were: Misses Virginia Lampton, Edna Clarke, Classie Meyer, Bessie Jackson, and Mes- dames Edward Armstrong, Wesley Black and R. D. Allen. The funds collected were deposited to the credit of the Relief Committee and the ladies of that organization used it for the purchase of Christmas boxes for the children of the poor. Every child whose parents were in want were taken care of by the Re- | lief Committee and 72 boxes were dis- \tributed. Each box contained candy, nuts, fruit, small articles of wearing apparel and toys. The contribution was of course in addition to the usual charitable Christmas work of the or- ganization. After making ample provision for the children it was discovered that there was a balance remaining, and this was appropriated for the pur- chase of gifts for the aged and needy Distribution. was made Tuesday even- ing through the courtesy of A. R. Guyton who furnished the ladies of the Rélief Committee with a convey- jance for their purpose. { { t Presbyterian Church Morning: Bible School 9:30. Public worship 11:00.

Columbia, Mo., Dec.—The value of Missouri farm products and live stock for the present year is estimat- ed at more than three-quarters of a billions dollars. Of this sum, $200- 000,000 is represented in the ordinary field crops alone, according to W. L. Nelson, assistant secretary ‘of the Missouri State Board of Agriculture. The annual crop report just issued today, shows that the Missouri corn crop for the year, 1912, is approxi- mately a quarter of a billion bushels, 243,042,951. This exceeds the corn crop of 1911 by more than 50,000, 000 bushels. The value of the corn grown in Missouri this year, figured at the average state farm price of 43 cents a bushel is $104,517,350. The average yield for the 7,610,988 acres is 3.19 bushels to the acre. Only two states in the union, Iowa and Illinois, grew as much corn in 1912 as Missouri. Kansas fell almost $100,000,000 bushels short of Mis- souri’s total. Of the Missouri crop for the pres- ent year, 72 per cent is: now in the crib, so favorably has been the seas- on. The winter of 1911-12 was an un- favorable one for wheat in Missouri. In many counties, especially in the northeast section of the state, much wheat was winter killed, so that the acreage harvested was only about 75 percent of that seeded. The crop for the present year, harvested from 1,708,999 acres, totaled 21,546,720 bushels, worth at 90 to 92 cents a | bushel, $191, 441,869. The state | yield per acre was 12.6 bushels. | The present wheat acreage 2,023, | 330. This is but 93.2 per cent of the — j original acreage seeded during the i fall of 1911, but is considerably larg- | Senior Christian Endeavor’6:30.

The yield harvested from 142,730 acres totals 167,090 tons, the average yield per acre be- \ing slightly less thana ton, 85 per jcent for the state.
