State Soiifl Missouri Is Having Thrust
Upon Her Strikes Responsive Chord
in Breast of Local Man Would
Make It National Air.
I2d Hoot, raconteur, mnn-about-town,
nml critic, Iiub coma to tho
defense of tho Missouri stnto sour,
rlslnfj to hiovo Uinl It bo adopted hs
n national nlr. For tlic bonortt of
tho iinonlishtoncd bo it romemborod
Hint Missouri Is having a mate .sons
thrust upon her. Some time ago n
comtnlttco headed by Governor Hart
ley orfored ft prlso of ?500 for a
ntnto song. Tho prlto winner was n
St. Louis lady and tho words Bhe
furnished were highly laudatory of
tho grand old state of Missouri, but
it appears that they lacked the fire
and earnestness of "Maryland, My
Maryland," for Instance. Meanwhile
thero has emanated from tho Ozark
country a song which threatens to
Hprend nil over Missouri and make
itself the state song In spite of tho
committees and tho $500 prizes. Here
nro tho words of the Ozark hymn:
Tho boys keep klckln' my dog aroun';
Every tlmo I como to town,
Makes no dlff'ttnco if ho is a hound,
They got-a quit klckln my dog
around.
To an outsider these lines do not
seem to bo thrilling or inspiring, yet
thero Is about them an unmistakable
indication ot earnestness and sincer
ity which appealed at once to the
MlBsourlan and to our fellow towns
man. Kd Hoot. For therein is tho
spirit ot Missouri. They "gotta quit"
doing what? Nothing thoy should
keep on doln but something wrong
in essence, and wrong In particular
-when dono to a friend In Missouri, a
real friend, a true friend, a friend
in deed and a friend In need. They
"gotta quit." That's all there Is
about it.

Going to Market
lH Lnn It. Meekins, in Collier's.)
Of every dollar paid lv the con
sumer for his nrodtteK the farmer
receiver 10 cents. This t the state
ment of llio department of agricul
ture of the United State. At one end
the farmer would like to gel more
than the 40 eeilts, and at the other
the consumer would prefer to pay lov
than the dollar. It i clear that the
problem i t get rid of tje middle
men and save that ."4 cents. In Balti
more" it seoniH that the simplest way lt
do thin i- to bring the two closer to
gether in convenient innrkct places.
Cheaper livitur than in other Inrge
cities and a market system whieli hits
ohnnjiod little since its village dayc
are two facts plsin to the iiivostij-ntoV
in Baltimore.
Produce Direct from Farm.
A Maryland farmer may drive in
from his farm, station his wagon in n
great market, and sell his own things.
He can build up n trade which gives
him the nrolUs and his customers the
savings of direct dentins. In one big
market alone 000 wagons are accom
modated with curb space, and tin- te
one one of 11 markets located at
points that will best serve the con
venience of Baltimore 000.000 peo
ple. And although the charges arc al
most insignitlcnnt, the total returns
pay all expeuses and give the city a
handsome interest on the ?l.2l3,-
830.03 which it has invested in mar
ket lots and buildings. So successful
is the whole scheme that other cities
ore collecting details with the idoa
of establishing similar service.
An Old KstaltliMiinent.
A far back as 1751 the people of
Baltimore town decided that they
wanted a market where the f armors
could come with their products. Pub
lic subscriptions were a-ked and a
few wore obtained, but the total was
far short of the needs. So Baltimore
resorted to the usunl method of pub
lic money raising in thoe days. It
hold a lottery. (Baltimore in the
lSth and the early 19th centime- held
lotteries for many purposes, including
the erection of its monument to
George Washington, its imposing ca
thedral mid n Presbyterian church.)
The market lottery completed the
fund, and the market house was built,
an open structure below and above
a hull for traveling shows. Toduy
several of the markets are so built,
ami the halls are rented for all sorts
of public meetings.
They are great rallying places in
political campaigns-. Also, the halls
are used for the accommodation of
such organizations ns the Boys' bri
gade and for night schools.
As the city grew and a new center
of population could be llxed, a new
market was built. So the system
meets fairly the requirements of the
city; but if the whole matter could
be done anew, there would be certain
changes to meet present conditions.
Army of oO.OOO Marketers.
It is not probable, however, that
any plan would change the general
character of Lexington market. A
great tinny of marketer 50,000
men, women and children slonn it
every market day, according to the
careful estimate of the assistant mar
ket master in charge. Throughout the
morning street cars pour out their
loads at the bottom of the hill on
which the market is set. Half a block
below its overflow has spilled down
the hill, and ranged on both sides of
the street arc piles of flowers, plants
ami fruit, with busy sollers calling
and with those touches of color that
make a happy approach to tho show.
Up on the bill the market straddles
the- bisecting street, and all around
are more open stalls. Every space U
taken up, and the crowds wind in
and out of mazes of benches, boxes,
baskets and people.
One of tho firnt staudn is a pleasant
promise of the whole market. On a
neat platform arc bunches of mint,
watercress, catnip, iilo of chestnut
and chinquapins, and whut appeal
particularly rows of real country
persimmons.
'Jlio Women Are Keen Buyers.
Inside the big sheds moves the mass
of buyer, but these muii and women
are not mere buyers. It is more like
a garden party. Thero is much pleas
ant greeting of friends, much slopping
for n bit of gossip, much friendly
talk -with the dealers in the stall.
Women go from stall to stall choos
ing their purchases and declining to
take anything that is not just right.
Hero is the elementary advantage of
this sort of village market as com
pared with the new system of order
ing over the telephone from the man
around tho comer; the buyer gets
finer quality and greater quantity for
less money.
Producer and Consumer Both Profit.
In tho crowd was tho wife of one
of the leading men of the city. She
come to tho market in her autom i
bile, and when Lexington market
prieos run u littlo too high she docs
not hesitate to go to the markets in
tho humbler sections of the city. She
caluulutcjl tliut sho saved about 20
pqr-eunt by do'uig her own marketing,'
and ns her husband is an epicure and
as she does much entertaining, she se
cures a satisfaction in food which
mere money cannot moasure,
MEDFORD MAIL TRTBUOT,
in Baltimore
"Trouble " She laughed when
nsketi why sho should go to all that
trouble when she had servants to do
it for her. "Why, it is one of the
great delights of my week. 1 enjoy
it more than n tea or a reception. I
doe one good to he out among all
the people in the fro-di nir, and you
have no idea how many jolly friends
1 have among the market folks'
Per people in moderate circum
stances, the open market is the only
means by which they can get the best
food for the money they have to
spend. As a rule, the prices in Lev
ington market in the Intter half of
November were below tho average of
markets in other cities, and in some
of the other markets in Baltimore
they are below the Lexington market
rates by from 5 to 15 per cent. But
the prices do not tell the whole story.
It is getting tho best material and get
ting it in full measure that makes the
big difference in the Until computa
tion. And in this market there seems
to he everything to eat that you can
think of all kinds of meat, 20 va
rieties of fish, poultry, game, terrapin,
orab meat, oysters and clams fresh
from the ChesaKake, shad 24 hours
from the gulf and every vegetable
and fruit grown from the lakes to the
troiiies.
000 Wagons.
And the GOO wagons crowding the
curbs for three blocks and lining all
the cross streets have each their own
particular store of goods the prod
ucts of the fanns and truck patches
and gardens within hauling distance
of the city. True, they do not con
tain a very considerable jutrt of the
whole total of food in the market, but
they have enough to affect the prices
and regulate the prices of those deal
ers who buy from cold storage and
take advantage of demand and sup
ply. Though thes'e wagon men do not
represent more than a small fraction
of the fanners of the state, and are
small farmers at that, in this village
market plan the little fellow gets a
show, and if ther.c is any profit in his
good, it comes to him instead of go
in gto the middleman.
"Some of those fellows who drive
wagons could draw their checks for
automobiles," said one who knew.
In many cases the wagon is a fam
ily affair. The husband, wife, son
and daughter all come in with it and
act as salesjcopIe and each i equally
keen to take ndvantngu of any busi
ness opportunities of the day.
The system is under the comptroller
of the city, and for each market there
is an assistant market master an
autocrat whose salary is $900 a
year. He is helped by clerks and a
force of cleaners. He must look to
weights nnd measures and the condi
tion of food. He attends to the rent
ing n"f stalls and places. The market
must be cleaned every day.
Cost System.
In Lexington market the butchers
pay a yearly license of $5 and n stall
rental of $20, which protects them
against the unauthorized sale of meat,
"provided that nothing herein shall
prevent any farmer from selling in
any market any meats which are ex
clusively products of his own fann."
Other dealers in the market pay
much less than the butchers. The
rents of stalls and benches range
from 2 lo .f-J. If a stall or stand is
unoccupied, it may be rented for 25
cents a day. The law says: "The
clerks of the several markets shall
collect from all dealers except butch
ers and hncOn dealers JO cents for
each nnd every stall occupied by them
on each nnd every market day or part
of a market day." The following fig
ures, taken from the latest municipal
report, will give an idea of the rev
enues of Lexington market uud also
of the variety of its dealers:
Butcher stalls if 2,500.00
Permanent and cave stalls . 3,520.00
Movable stalls 301.00
Fruit and vegetable stalls. 007.00
Fish stalls 340.50
Street stalls 3,130.00
Per dieuis 0,495.40
Total $17,010.00
The words "poniitment stalls" mean
(hut far back in the beginning of the
market tho stalls were sold by the
city, and while it now receives its an
nual license of $5 and its rental of
$20 the men who own the stalls sub
let them for n great deal more, bo
that there arc stalls that have u vahle
of from $1000 to $3000- a vcry'good
illustration of the unearned incre
ment. Baltimore would like to gut
rid of this private ownership.
Markets Need Only ('round Space,
Here, then, is a contrast in the one
city. Modern markets involving IttrgX'
public expenditures imprcsbcd the
public ns filtering to tho advantages
of the middlemen, and so the poopto
go more than over to the old markets
where the producers and the consnin
crs gel closer to golhcr, It Is more
than a sentiment, for the farmer re
ceives moro and the customer receives
more; neither saves all tho middle
man's profit, but each gets n sharo of
it. A dozen cities are discussing mu
nicipal market houses. The plan is
nil right, but the money should bo put
in ground space rather than In costly
buildings.
