A final check showed $21,198,929 was paid Into this fund in the last year, as compared with collected In 1934. Substantial increases both the sales tax and liquor revenue over a year ago were the principal factors in swelling the state's coffers.

Smith predicted that with the one per cent sales tax In operation throughout the coming year, the general revenue for 1936 should total approximately 26 million dollars. With this estimate, the general revenue fund for the 193536 biennium should be more than 47 milion, as compared with $27,590, 772 for the 1933-34 biennium, $23,767,244 for 1931-32, and $30,037,112 for 1929-30. Under the 1931 school law, a -parid-krfe-fcbe- COUNTY ORGANIZATION TO CONTROL HORSE BOTS general revenue fund automatically Is transferred to the school fund. This would mean that In the present biennium the public schools of Missouri should receive nearly 16 million dollars from the state, as compared with around nine million in the 193334 period.

Any farmer who wants his horses treated will see his township commltteeman. It has been found that horse bots may be reduced considerably through the proper treatments. Many leading farmers are now treating their stock each year to rid them of their pests. The cost of treatment is small and the animals come through the winter In better condition with no more feed and are able to do more work In the spring. December and January are the proper times to administer the internal treatment.

Feed grains, vegetables, hay and forage crops, grass seeds and fruits are generally lower than a year ago.

Hogs, cattle, calves, milk cows, sheep, lambs, horses and mules are all higher than a year ago. Poultry, eggs and butterfat show increase. Comparing 1935 prices with 1932, of 50 quotations, 44 are higher and only two are lower, according to the U. S. division of crop and livestock estimates, E.

Soy- jeans, and vegetables are all much higher. Meat animals are more than double the prices of three years ago. Hay and forage prices are sharply down from last year but are still higher than three years ago, even with very much greater production this year. Comparing November against October prices of th'llHpaat crop year, corn shows a short decrease due somewhat to low quality of corn but other grains show but little change from, the previous month. Cotton shows a slight reduction.

Potatoes are higher and sweet potatoes are lower. Hogs and beef cattle declined from October to November, 1936, but veal calves, sheep and lambs 7 were all slightly (higher. Prices on milk cows and horses have strengthened. Seasonal Increases were shown In eggs. and butterfat.

Of UMftil rit iM Memorial to the cotton gin Ini-cntoi-, ELI WHITNEY HPHE mechanical and engineering genius which has made America the world's foremost industrial nation is symbolized by the figure of one of our first and most significant inventors, Eli Whitney. Not only his technical talents, but the elements of ambition and pertinacity in his character, place him in the roster of great Americans whose memory is a perpetual source of inspiration. Eli Whitney was 24 years old before he succeeded in entering Yale for the education which be craved as a basis for his inventive urge. Poverty and the opposition of his parents had prevented him before that. He had been born at Westboro, Mass, on December 8, 1766, and his mechanical ingenuity was evident from childhood.

His perseverance against immense odds enabled him to turn that ingenuity to account. By saving for years out of small earnings from odd jobs he accumulated the wherewithal for a belated education. Chance led him to Savannah after completing the' college course. There he observed the tedious manual method of cleaning raw cotton. He heard vf the decision of hiany of theffore- most planters to abandon Cotton growing as Tho problem fired his imagination.

Within a year EH Whitney produced the first model of his cotton gin, which accomplished in an hour what it had taken many days to do by hand, Overnight almost the cotton industry became a leading source of American wealth and and King Cotton sat enthroned on Eli Whitney's cotton gin. T.vo years before the epoch- making invention, American cotton exports were a scant 20,000 pounds. Twenty-five years later they had mounted to 270,000, this growth was due primarily to the Yankee grit and American daring of the self- made inventor. The cotton gin brought-its Inventor but little personal financial return. It was not until some years later, when his improvements in firearms made him more affluent, that he was able to taste the comfortable existence that his genius merited.

Eli Whitney died on January 8, 1825, at Now Haven, Conn, The North, which was his home, and the South, which he had so vastly enriched, joined in mourning the nation's loss. The dignified sarcophagus memorial which marks his last resting place in a New Haven cemetery in the sketch above- expresses aptly the nobility of chnrrvctornnd the solid worth of a pioneer industrial inventor. if.
