A STORY WITH A GOOD MORAL

Recently church congregation in little Kansas town built new church, says an exchange. To pay for it they were obliged to call on the merchants of the community for donations. The merchants responded literally and $500 was raised from that source, The last man asked to subscribe was John Smith, ieweler. q will give you s5 if you will let me add something to the subscription list," he said. The per mission was accorded him and he wrote at the foot of the list:
 John Smith, jeweler, S5.
 Sears, Roebuck & Co.,, so.
 Montgomery Ward & Co.,, 50.
 The church people saw the point when the minister read from the list of donators to the building fund and since the dedication of the church there have been no mail orders sent out from that Kansas town.-Excbange.

Steers Sold at 1925.

Joe Riggs, one Of the best known
feeders of Boone county, was here to-
day with a consignment Of steers
which topped the market not only for
the day, but for the year, says Tues
days St. Louis Live Stock Reporter.
These cattle we're of Mr.. Riggs own
feeding and we're Shorthorns, fed on
shelIed corn for the past six months
making very satisfactory gain. The
consignment embraced IS head, aver
aging 1910 pounds and sold to Armour
s. Company at 1925.
Mr.. Riggs was accompanied by hi
young son, j. T. Riggs, Jr,, who il
only nine years old, but his fathel
stated that he had taken an unusua
interest in the feeding of these cattl
and was very fond of all kinds OF live
stock. Mr.. Riggs still has two load
of steers in his feed lots which he say
will be ready for market around th
early part Of October.
Crops are all flourishing in that sec
tion of Missouri according to Nj
Riggs and In a broad sense of the wor
farmers In Boone county are enjoyin
prosperity.-Columbia MO- Herald.

The Auto in Cass County,

Referring to the autos the Clinton
(Mo.) Democrat says:
"The Harrisonville Democrat is
brewing peck Of trouble about the
auto.
"Of course there are grounds for
complaints. A horse is foolish sort
OF creature In some respects. When
the first bicycles came In use here In
Clinton, there were all sorts Of com
plants that they frightened horses
But the bicycle was there to stay ano
the automobile age is just beginning
All sorts OF limitations may be put
upon them, some proper and sensible
and Others quite the contrary. But
matters will finally adjust themselves
even In Harrisonville.
1--WE haven't an acknowledgements
expect to have one; but the publi'
road is open to horses, bicycles ant
automobiles, and the sooner we al
sanely and sensibly accommodate our
selves to ever changing conditions th'
better for all OF us. The first reapinI
machine was burned by some fellow
who would not recognize the laws o
progress. But there are still reapinI
machines 10 the country for all that.

FAIR OFFICIALS THANK PATRONS.

One OF the most successful and best
attended fairs in the state was the
first annual Mexico Fair, which closed
at @ O'Clock Friday afternoon. The
large attendance kept up to the last
and the programme got better each
day.
Every horseman in attendance pro-
nounced the fair q great success and
as enthusiastic over the manner in
which the affair was conducted and
over the beautiful grounds, amphi.
theater and track.
There can be no doubt of the fact
that the fair will be permanent, and
each year will see it get bigger and
better.
To the credit Of the fair, let it be
known that there were no accidents,
either on the track or grounds, NJ
fights and no amusements or shows Of
an immoral character to mar the sue
cess OF the enterprise.
Before the last race, the Fair offic'
ials and directors, headed by the band
marched rast the grandstan ant

ating surgeons art and excellent work
on the nurses part that brings such
success. After an operation has been
performed and the patient is safely
transferred to the ward, the surgeons
trouble cease and the nurses begins.
II nurse is negligent In the care Of
patient, complicatings difficulties
arise endangering the patients life,
therefore we do our best and the con-
sequences have been and nearly always
will be success.
The Doctors give us lecture twice
a week on nmsing, medical and sur
glcal cases, first aid to the wounded,
anatomy and minor surgery.
The Surgeon General was here last
week on tour of inspection Of Naval
Hospitals on all Foreign stations. He
remarked that In no other hospital
had he found the work Of the nurses
more neat and systematic. He had
found others just as good but none
better.
The pay Of the men of Uncle Sans
Hospital Corps is twice that Of any
other nation and the privileges are
not to be compared. or course some
Of the boys get home-sick sometimes
and say the Navy is a peaper prison
but the next day they will swear that
1t is home.
The Navy teaches a young man to
obey the commands Of his officers
without question, and in civilian life
that is the same as an employer.
i Many man through his indepen'
dent attitude to his empoyer has lost
a good position and made happy fam
| lily destitute. The Navy takes that
out of man. 1t very seldom goes SC
far as to conquer the high spirited
but teaches them to know and appre
ciate obedience to orders.
Some have the impression that
sailor is a vulgar person, who is knock
ed and cuffed about the decks at tht
will of the officers, person that lives
, on black coffee, hard tack and canned
meat and sleeps in whatever part o
the ship the night finds him, bu
such things are far from being true.
Our ships are the cleanest, our foot
the best, coarse but clean and substan
, tial, and our sailors the best dressed
. Of any Navy you can name. But thi
/ is the reason: The officers and mel
have a model which each endeavors b
: live up to,
Al Cleanliness next to Godliness. II
