MCCLURE Mrs. Lavisa Jane
Mcclure of 3 1-2 miles northeast
of Westville died Sunday, Feb.
%, 1908, after a lingering illness,
aged 80 years, 8 months and II
days. This venerable mother in
Isreal was born in .Gasconade
county, Mo-, May 5, 1922, and
came to Charlton county in the
latter part of 1843, where she was
married to Daniel Mcclure in
1847. To them were born seven
children, but only one, a son, w.
N. Mcclure, who made his home
with his mother and cared for
her during all the years of her
widowhood, is now living, but
there are five surviving grand
children, one by her Oldest
daughter and four by her oldest
son. Grandma" Mcclure, as
she was affectionately called, was
an exemplary member Of the
Baptist church and died in the
full triumph of that faith. Ow-
ing to the disagreeable weather
of Monday no funeral services
were held and an unostentatious
burial was held at Stein ceme-
terry just over the Linn county
line. We condole with the sor-
rowing son and five grand-c chill
dren in their loss of kind and
affectionate mother and grand
mother.

If all men, not be blind to rat 'onal interest.
Whether it woud be of any practical value to
us or rot, we owe, in honor and good faith, a
reciprocity arrangement to Cuba. We are under
mote the prosperity of Cuba. But we are also
under a certain compul>ion OF morals and of
common sense to promote our own prosperity.
The present question, then, is not only what
we are going to do for Cuba, but what Cuba is
going to do for us, or, to put the latter more
directly, what we are going TO let Cuba do for
U.S. Here is the situation Cuba. in spite of
our discrcditable treatment OF her, is doing
fairly well. She is maintaining a stable govern
ment, fulfilling her obligations and rehabil'tat-
ing her industrial prosperity. Despite our un-
generous attitude toward her more than four
ffths of her produce finds m rket in the United
States. But not one-third of her market is open
to u.s. There is the point. We purchase four
ffths of all that Cuba has To SELL while Cuba
purchases less than one-thrd of her supplies
from US Now, under reciprocity Cuba could
not greatly increase her sales to us, so that there
could be little, if any, increase of Cuban M
petition in our market. But we could enor
mously increase our sales to Cuba so that we
should soon be selling her proportionaely as
much as she sells to u.s.
1t might be we'll for some PRACTICAL unscnti-
mental men to think of these things, and to
think pretty hard and fast Just at this time. The
Cuban reciprocity treaty is calculated to do us
far more good than it will do Cuba. Are we
going to refuse to have that good done? Under
reciprocity Cuba could at most no. increase her
exports to us by more than 10 or Is per c ent Of
the whole while she could and certainly would
increase her imports from us by 90 or 60 per
cent of the whole There are said t. be these
who are so stupid that they do not know Il good
thing when they see it. But we hope the Unit
d States is not to be put in that category.

"The assistance feature contained in the pre-
