Intaking "fheF ireman's Prayer
as his piece for the contest, Cadet
Banks made a splendid selection.
Nh. Banks plainly showed careful
study and his number was well
memorized.
Cadet Peterman, of Jackson, Mo-,
closed the contest with a we'll rem.
dered piece, entitled 1.-THE Evils of
Intemperance." Mr.. Peterman shows
great promise and we predict for
him q brilliant future in the realm
of oratory.
Mr.. Trimble presented the medal
in his usual suave a nd graceful
manner, but merely named the
winner and did not address the au'
dience at length. This was the only
disappointing part ofthe programme,
for when Mr.. Trimble takes the
stand the audience expects one of
his brilliant and inimitable gems of
oratory.
The contest was very short, it
being only 9:45 when the audience
dispersed. But it is quality, not
quantity, in all things, and all were
highly pleased with both the con-
test and the decision of the most
competent Judges.

Mumps are raging in this locality

roost near the Springs. They all
carry the letter w on their backs,

They are no doubt from Kentucky
and are here at the Springs to be
cured of the liquor habit, which
these waters will s'knock out" in
short order. What a blessing!
A new covering is being put over
the Springs, the trees are being
trimmed and the pole is being
erected for the new flag, soon to be
donated by the Calamity Club, and

The Daily Progress of Marshall,
Mo-, OF Friday, June /, contains
the following in reference to a large
purchase Of wheat made by the Pol
lock Milling Company of Mexico,
Mo-:
On Wednesday Robert ]. McMa-
han shipped TO the VIM. Pollock
Milling & Elevator Co., at Mexico,
Mo-, eighteen car loads of the best
grade of Saline county wheat.
1t is by far the biggest sale OF
wheat which we have ever known to
be shipped at one time to any one
firm. The Pollock Milling & EIeva-
tor Company certainly mean to make
flour enough to feed all the people
everywhere that may want bread.
Mr.. McMahan has sold all bis wheat
to this company, and thinks it is
probably the finest lot ever shipped
out of Saline county, and Mr.. Nc
Mahan has now twenty more car
loads which will be shipped in a few
days to this firm. Mr.. McMahan
has instructions to send them none
but the best grade, as this Milling
Company, which has a wide reputa-
ton for making good flour, will have
none but the best wheat. And we
want to say to that Milling Compa-
ny, who have such a reputation for
making fine flour, and whose ambi-
tien it is to maintain it, that they
cannot do better in the matter of
getting the best wheat out of which
to make the best -four than by COM
ing to Saline county for it, MOI in
getting anyone to buy it who is a
better judge OF good wheat than is

Mr.. McMahan.
The Modern Miller, published at
Kansas City and st. Louis, in its
issue of Saturday, May %, 1894,
contains the following, which will
be Of interest to all of our readers:
An opinion by William Pollock,
of Mexico, Mo-, will be welcomed
by millers throughout the Southwest,
and it may be said throughout the
country generally, as worthy of care
full consideration. Few millers have
made such earnest and continuous
endeavors to benefit and elevate the
milling industry as he has, and none
have given more freely of their time
and Ear in seeking to improve
and broaden the flour trade than the
writer of the following:
WILLIAM Pollock MILLING AND
ELEVATOR Co., MEXICO, Mo-
think before we make any special
effort in the direction of a national
millers' congress our local associa-
tons should be revived and, where
the old ones are dead, start new ones.
My observation has been that it is
best to not take in too much terri
tory in the local organizations, as
members will not attend regularly
where they live so far from the place
of meeting. | think there should be
three associations in Missouri. Our
North Missouri association takes in
| all the counties north of the Missouri
river and Saline, Lafayette and Jack.
son counties south Of the river.
A few more counties in the South
west could be added. Our regular
place of meeting is Moberly. l
would suggest Springfield and st.
Louis as the other two association
meeting places, dividing up the ter
ritory to suit the members. Then,
as soon as the local associations gel
in good working order, have them
elect a member from each to repre-
sent them in a national congress o!
millers. Where there would only
be one association in a state they
might send two members.
think it should be fully under
stood at the start that the main OBJ
ject of forming the national con
gress of millers is to look after thu
foreign trade for our flour, as thu
enlargement, of our flour trade will
directly benefit the farmers as wei
as the millers who, together will
their employees, are a majority o
the people of this country, and thei
interests in the past have been yer,
much overlooked or neglected b,
their representatives. in congress
The farmers and millers' interests
are so closely allied to each other a
to make them inseparable and the.
should work together in harmon,
to better their condition. VIII
should we not have some ~legislatin
that will benefit the majority of th
I citizens of this great country in
3 stead of working for the interest {
the few. | believe in reciprocs
trade, and especially with thos
countries that will use our bread
stuffs. Now, Mr.. Editor, | am NJ
a writing this in the interest of an
political party and don't want it s
understood. This is the create
. agricultural country in the worl
and can raise more grain than an
u other, but the great question befol
'e us now is to get consumers to bu
it. In conclusion | will say, if Il
,e forming of a millers' national CO.
"a gress will do anything to bril-
about these trade relations | am
favor of it. Yours truly,
WIN. POLLOCK.
