Springfield, March of the Missouri state horticultural experiment station at Mountain Grove, announced that South Missouri's fruit crop will be a total loss as the result of Monday night's freeze. Strawberries, it is estimated, will not make more than a third of a crop.

Many young fruit trees and berry vines and plants have been killed. In the Marionville district, the largest commercial apple producing center of the state, it is stated there will not be enough apples to make a single pie. Jefferson City, March Damage to the fruit and garden crops of Missouri caused by below freezing temperature, was estimated at approximately $10,000,000 yesterday by Jewell Mayes and E. A. Logan and the Missouri co-operative crop reporting service.

Damage to wheat was slight and other grain crops escaped injury, a statement issued by the officials said. Slight damage was done to Alfalfa and clover, they reported. The value of the Missouri fruit crop in 1918 was $18,000,000 and last year when an Easter blizzard caused extensive damage it totalled $14,000,000. The value of this year's crop, the officials said, depends on the price of fruit which will be high because of the damage.

When the Birds Begin to Warble -as they have--it is springtime. And in the springtime the fancy of young men "lightly turns to thoughts of at least, that is what we learn from one of the immortals. So much for what we have learned from the poets. From many years of experinece, we have learned that in the springtime the thoughts of young men--and old men and too--also turn, not lightly, but seriously, to thoughts of new clothes. And, as for many years, we are prepared to fit them all out with the best made in America, which is the same as saying the best in the big round world, the famous and justly famousHART, SCHAFFNER MARX LINE.

If there were better, more stylish suits to be had, we would have them. There isn't. In fact, there are none so good, which is "why" of our many years of selling the Hart, Schaffner Marx brand. This spring we are particularly well stocked with these grand suits. That is, or should be, good news for the entire male citizenship of Vernon county.

And here is some more news that is not bad. The prices have undergone a change and the change is to the good, from the standpoint of the buyer. We can now sell you fine spring suits much cheaper than last springlikewise, cheaper than any other store in this part of the country. The reason? It is our enormous buying capacity, which gets the goods to us cheaper than the average store can put them in stock. WE SOLICIT BEING CALLED UPON TO PROVE IT! Goss Glenn Clothing Co.
