harmony with Himself or the interests
which He had in view; for in either case
He would not have been in position from
which He could touch the minds and hearts
and lives of the nations. The Son of Man
must be where He can speak to all with
equal advantage, where He can reach their
affections and WELD His blessed power
over the sphere of their practical questions
and activities. He could not have been one
who was arrayed in purple and fine linen
could he have adopted the portion OF a
soualid and sclf-inficted poverty. he would
not be either rich or sinfully poor, out an
honest, industrious, royal workingman.

It's human nature to expect much for your
money during this Sale, and it's the object Of
the progressive merchant to live up to the
publlcs expectations. Bargains are incidental
to the growth of every store. They are counted
as the accidents of the trade and are oc-
casloned through various causes. During
July we mean to make them fundamental
part of this business. Take this sale, they de-
mand the attention of everybody interested
in good seasonable goods at low prices The
adjective low in this instance does not give
sufficiently forceful emphasis to the values,

There are more than three hun
bred communities in Missouri that
could provide excellent two years
high school, that do not now offer
high school opportunities. AS a
rule, these communities center
around villages, trading points or
groups of churches. A CONSOLE
dation of four or more school dis
tricts would enable the new dis.
trict, without much if any increase
in tax levy, to maintain the same
number of elementary schools as
are now maintained and, in ad-
ditiou, a central high school
Such an arrangement is provided
for by law and it will do much to
stimulate the work in the rural
schools and encourage the boys
and girls on the farm. 1t will
furnish a means Of uniting the
community educationally and of
cultivating local patriosm. 1t will
make a more desirable place tC
live and enhance the value Of
property. Several such districts
have been formed in our state and
others will be determined at the
April school meetings.

Up to date the snow on the range

have become alarmed and discour-

make material change in condi-

freshen the range and moisten the
