COMMISSION.
(By Jewell Mayes, of the Richmond
Missourian.)
THE WORK OF THE MISSOURI
COMMISSION is to SHOW the world
the might, magnitude, and merit of
Missouri.

The members of the Missouri State
Press Association know 20 well that

unanswerably honored by the work oil

Missouri man and woman should come
and enjoy the glory that our com
monwealth has gained among the peo-
pies of the earth. The Members OF
the Missouri Commission have scaled
the walls Of interstate prejudice and
placed the banner of leadership on ~
topmost tower of favorable approval
of every nation under the sun. The
Missouri Commission has done us
mighty duty nightly we'll .
