all ma;ured: wha, is necessary Is al
ready known. and The object OF this
meeting was TO show the deep interest
taken in the matter. We have before
spoken af the incalculable ad-
vantage TO the people OF tins great
basin which this improvement would
bring. Twenty-Five millions of dol
lars is the estimate of what is necessary
for the improvement upon the plans
recommended TO and adopted by the
War Department. Yet when congress
took the matter under consideration
il set apart the paltry sum of one mil
lion of dollars for this purpose. This
enterprise has opposition, and will
have opposition sufficient to interfere
with necessary appropriations until the
people of the Mississippi valley awake
to the fact that each individual member
of its teeming population is person.
ally interested. The proper improve
ment of the Mississippi and Missouri
rivers will throw the current of export
from the great wealth producing por-
tions of the nation 10 the gulf, thus
divertlng it from Chicago and the east
giving our people a better market for
all their surplus, putting into their
pockets the profits that now go to en-
rich the transportation lines and cities
of the east Hence the necessity ofthe
convention and the necessity of 4 gen.
eral agitation of the question that all
may understand its importance to US,
and that every effor: may be made to
induce congress to make the nsces-
sary appropriations as soon rs posi-

WHY SHOULD THE WORK CEASE?
To Sunday School Workers..

DEAR FElENDs:- 1t is a fact hard Il
be accounted for that many Sunday
schools close in the fall. and sometimes
remain closed far into the spring. Why:
Is Bible instruction less needed iii win.

it? Who are responsible tor this state
OF things gs--who more than yourselves
What have you done to sustain, keep
alive, and give interest and efficiency to
your Sunday school.
Are souls less precious, or is labor for
their conversion less duty in winter
than in summer? Are the world, the
| flesh. and the devil inactive during this
season? Do sickness and death cease
their work in winter: Are you all
sure of renewed opportunity next year?
If not, can You say, | am clear of any
responsibility in this matter.
Common schools do not close: amuSe-
ments, lectures. and social gatherings
for enjoyment do not cease. Christians
ordinarily multiply their meeting and
efforts for their own and others good.
and look for revivals chietiy-too many
of us solely in winter. And when all
else is active. why should the Sunday

only means of religious instructions for
the children and youth go into winter
quarters and die, to await 4 feeble and
uncertain resurrection next year. And
now is 4 good time to organize new
schools. find it as much so as the
spring season.

Frontier Life In Missouri.

During the early settlemen. of this
fair and beautiful state. there was much
to enliven the lonely Life of the pioneer.
True, they encountered many hard.
ships, but their spirit, and energy was
equal to the occasion. During the year
1917, Samuel Cole, a son of one of the
pioneers wanted to attend a dance at
the cabin of one of the neighbors. He
was about sixteen years old, and in con.
sequence of a lack of suitable clothing,
his mother refused to let him go. His
sole garment consisted of long tow
shirt that reached to his heels. Not
withstanding her refusal he determined
to go. Bridling tame bull he rode up
to the door of the house where the dane
ing was going on. Looking into the
room, as he sat on his strange steed
he attracted great deal of attention
After looking on a while, he rode into
the river; then sliding back over the
bulls tail; he caught hold, and swan
down the river to his mothers fort
Some time after, the family run out
ofproyislons. Taking his old nint-lock
rifle, he went out bare-footed and bare
headed. with his collar open and his
breeches reaching to his knees. He
returned in about fifteen minutes with
the report that he had killed two deer,
which proved to be true. He also was
a great bee-hunter, finding in one day
thirteen trees. This occurred near the
Missouri river where the cityot Boonville
now stands. Then the 'sNoble but un-
tutored savage" lurked in the recesses
OF the forest, ready to slay the first wick
ed white settler who dared to cross his
path. Now all this is changed. The
onward march of civilization has caused
the forest to disappear, and where the
followed the deer or hunted
bee-trees, we can see the tall spires of
churches in bold relief against the sky,
while all around the beautiful residen-
ces, well-til]ed farms, and commodious
and school-houses attest the
industry and enterprise of the people.
