League called upon Admiral schley
last night and presented the resolu-
lions recently adopted by that body

the matter until the wants and needs

tons will be started at once.

U FARMER GIRL.
A Young Lady Well and Favorably
Known in Mexico-A Successful
Farmer and Stock Raiser.

Miss Pearl Mitchell, well and favor
ably known to a large circle of friends
in Mexico, Mo-, is now living near
Rocheport, Mo-, where she conducts
a large farm successfully. The Column
bia Herald, referring to this most es-
unable lady, says:
Not many miles from Columbia, and
back from the Rocheport and Column
bia gravel road, is the home of q most
prosperous and interesting girl farm
or. And never did a farmer have a
more charming one.
Miss Pearl Mitchell for the last five
or six years has been actively and
practically engaged in filling the soil,
growing stock, buying and selling on
her own judgment and otherwise
managing her country estate.
Her farm OF $50 acres Is adjoining
the once famous "model FARM of
Boone county, and it has gradually
robbed that place Of Its proud title.
For such has been her success In the
various operations Of blowing, plant
ing and reaping, and in waging such
ceaseless and destructive warfare
against weeds, that her neighbors re-
gard her az the model farmer now.
They pay high tributes to her ability
and say they often feel rebuked when
contrasting her clean pastures and or
derby fencing with their own.
Pearl MitchelI's father, Newman
Mitchell, sr., died many years ago,
and her mother more recently, but
her love for the home place and the
sweet, pure life Of the country has i'm
PEELED her to continue the cultivation
Of her own farm. And its present
beautifully kept condition proves the
wisdom of her choice.
She was educated at Stephens Col
Iege, Columbia, and has travelled quite
extensively. Two years ago ahe spent
nearly q year abroad and now thinks
that II "hogs" and "cattIe' will just
hold their own for another 10 months,
she will 60 again.
The proverbial loneliness of the
country she overcomes by keeping a
constant string of guests in attend
ance during the summer months. After
"hog killing time" is over she visits
and travels.
