AMERICA DOMINATES WORLD FUR TRADE St. Louis, October 31?St. Louis which was one of the first fur trad ing posts in America, bases Its claim of being the raw fur market of the world primarily on its central loca tion. Virtually at the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, trappers a centry and a half ago paddled down these natural carriers with their packs of pelts to dispose of them In St. Louis. It was at this time that Pierre Laclede established the first trading post In this vicinity, and one of the chief commodities It handled was furs.

A granite boulder at the foot of Mar ket Street here marks the spot where the post was established. Although the Inruest fur sales were ,held in London for many years. St. i/ouis never lost Its prominence as a fur market, and with the outbreak of the World War the sales swung back to the American city.

NUTRITION WORK j GETS UNDER WAY Primary School Children are Steady Drinkers Imt Tool - Ambitions About (?citing to1 School Early The nutrilion work at the primary j school is now well uuder way for th?i school year, It was reported at the, lmeting of the Parent-Teachers As-1 sockition at the High School Tuesday ? afternoon. Miss Sal lie Beasley. Mrs. Anna Lewis, and Dr. Zenas Fearing com-, posed the committee appointed to get the work started. They decided to secure pasteurized milk this year for the children and are now serving about 65 chlldrefi free of chsrftB and between 7"> and 100 who pay for the milk. The Wlnekrea m Company which furnishes the milk, is donating milk enough for ten children each day. The children like the milk' and are thriving on it already. Attendance was a hit better at th?j meeting Tuesday of the Parent* Teachers Association, but si ill leaves much to he desired. Parents are strongly urged to Join, to attend, and to send in their dues to the treasurer, Mrs. A. H.I lloulx. The State organizer of Parent-Teachers Associations is coming the latter part of this month, and it will be humiliating if Eliza beth City makes a poor showing In' this work. Another matter that the associa tion wants lo urge is that parents heed Superintendent Sheep's request which was printed on the front page of The Advance in a box last Satur day. The request has to do with the little folks getting to school too early. It's fine of course, that they are so ambitious, but if this ambition1 could be directed into other chan nels, it would be better for all con cerned. The fn?rhers are due to arrive at X.30 each morning and if children could be started on their way so that they would arrive at about this time, all would be well. On rainy days, the doors are opened at eight, so that the little folks do not have to stand around and get their feet wet. j Hut if they continue to persist In. going at Hev# n o'clock anil such hours, the teachers are helpless, Superintend': t Sheep !s helpless. It's th pp.. ?*?>? 1 V *' it's all. And -urely no good parent wants ,a little kiddie lo jiave pneumonia or som< thing nearly as bad. because of wet feet, particularly when the par ent Is to Manic for such a condition.! The teachers do what they can for th" little fellows. They spend val uable time which ought to be spent in t' aching, drying out their little r-.toek'ngs and shoes, but they can't do ? vrythlng.
