and so true a friend 10 millions OF
people with a love for wholesome
amusement that there was inter-
national regret when Governor Peck
ceased to write tho stories of his
exploits, his pranks, the penalties
which he paid for his fun. People
said: Alas, shall we never find
Peck's Bad Boy AGAIN.
Now they are to be answered
Yes, they shall find the boy again.
He is coming to San Francisco. He
arrives next Sunday. He has found
new life and new inspiration iii the
fertile brain and facile pencil of Walt
McDougall, the noted artist. Peck's
Bay Boy is coming to dominate the
comic supplement of the Sunday Call.
When you have seen few OF Walt
McDougall's series; depicting in color
the new and extremely funny pranks
OF this typical American youngster,
you will gladly admit the high value
of Walt McDougalls inspiration and
you will include this new-old bad boy
in the list of your closest friends.
He will win every heart in the house
hold. The sleepiest boy, the tardiest
girl, and even grandpa, who loves to
lie abcd in the morning, will begin
to come down to Sunday morning
breakfast on time--because Pecks
Bad Boy will be there Through a
series of dozen bright pictures de-
picting mischievous though harm
less adventure, the whole family will
follow him with smile and laugh
that will keep the heart warm all
day. Peck's Bad Boy, the newest
young citizen of California, will

come familiar with the Adventures
of Peck's Bad Boy, which next Sun
day becomes regular feature of the
Sunday Calls comic supplement, we
think you will agree that for real,
tipping fun, the Bad Boy is the
mustard.
But this is not all. Sometimes
good things do not come singly, and
this is one of those times. Another
most interesting character who will
come to town with the Bad Boy is
an irresistible little Indian He is
little Growing Bird of Windego
Land" He is on most excellent terms
with the lynxcs and bears and wolves,
and Aundak, the crow, is one of his
best friends. The series in which
this little Indian in his paint and
feathers is the chief figure is unique.
1t is new and very fetching idea
in comic supplement. Little Growl-
ing Bird and the strange happen
ings in which he is pictured are
highly amusing rather than uproar-
iously funny. Brief paragraphs in
which the story is tersely told ac-
company the pictures and increase
their interest. Nephew and uncle
alike will find something in this series
which will absorb him. And beasts
and birds of the forest play very
important part. Often they speak
with little Growing Bird. Some
times they would trick him, but he
Is much too clever for them. The
moment you see this quaint little
Indian and his people and friends
you will like them all. And, week
by week. your interest will grow.
5 Again: this is not all There are
some other good things, which make
the constellation about these bright
particular stars. Wait until next Sun
day and see them for yourself. See,
indeed, If the new comic supplement
of the Sunday Call is not the funniest,
most interesting and most wholesome
that you have ever seen Watch
for it next Sunday.

FUNNY FELLOWS COMING

OF THE SUNDAY CALL

n ECKS BAD BOY is coming to
- town. incidentally his Pa is COM
] ing, too. But it is the advent
of the boy himself which is the
big news.
Peek's Bad Boy Consider a bit.
1t has been said without contradiction
that Peek's Bay Boy has caused more
wholesome, genuine fun in the world
than any other youngster who has
gained reputation outside the FAM
lily circle. A weary world has CRATE
fully acknowledged its indebtedness
to the Bad Boy for million hearty
laughs. Nearly everybody who has
graduated from knickerbockers and
pinafores remembers the original es-
capades of Peck's Bad Boy and how
they came to be written. Worldly
wise, big-hearted, keen-witted Cover
nor Peck of Wisconsin had wife
whom he adored. She was con-
firmed invalid. Governor Peck, who

portion of his time in devising means
to keep the invalid light-hearted by
keeping laugh upon her lips. How
well. he succeeded in his efforts the
whole world came to know. He in
vented Peck's Bad Boy, and pres
entity people in every civilized land
were sharing with the invalid wife the
honest fun of his pranks. Peck's Bad
Boy was not really bad; he was
merely an animated bundle of inno-
cent mischief. His jokes were with
out limit nd they were excruciatingly
funny. They were so funny, in fact,
that his victims had to join in the
laugh when it was all over.
Peck's Bad Boy became so famous

Of Gladys Walker.

Gladys, the seven year old
daughter OF Mr. and Mrs. S. d.
Walker, died at the family home
two miles west of Loyeland, on
Wednesday. She had been i'll
for seven week with typhoid fe-
yer and had suffered much. The
funeral services took place this
afternoon at l:3O, and burial in
the Branson cemetery.
The death Of this little girl at
the age when sh. had became d
companion Of her parents is in

Wedding Bells

The marriage of Lou Good
rich and Miss Mabel Mccain
occurred Tuesday evening at
the Methodist parsonage, Rev.
Williams officiating. The bride
and groom are both we'll known
in the Valley and their friends
wish them a happy married
life. Their wedding was re-
ported to have occurred some
time ago but that was an error
and it seems the rumor was
started by some friends of the
groom merely in a spirit of fun.
Lou is busy setting up ten cent
cig,rs today and wishes all of
friends to call. The happy
couple will make their home in
this city where the groom is
one of the hustling young busi-
ness men, being a member of
the firm of Goodrich Brothers.
Good luck.

Professor Laughed Last.

President Hadley of Yale
was talking about his student
days. 81 remember a stately
and venerable professor" he
said, "upon whom some sopho-
mores tried to play a trick.
"The professor, one morning,
being unable to attend to his
class on account of a cold,
wrote on the blackboard:
"'Dr. Dash, through indispo-
sition, is unable to attend to his
classes today
"The students erased one let
ter in this notice, making ii
read:
"'Dr. Dash, through indispo-
sition, is unable to attend to his
lasses today
"But it happened, a few min-
utes later, that the professor
returned for a box he had for
gotten. Amid a roar of laugh
ter he detected the change in
his notice, and, approaching the
blackboard. calmly erased one
letter in his turn.
CHOW the notice read:
CDR. Dash, through indispo-
sition, is unable to attend to his
asses today" Philadelphia

Good Roads and Rural Mails.

1t is announced that the gov
eminent will look more care
fully to the enforcement of it's
rule regarding the roads over
which rural free delivery is
established. The present re-
quirement is:
"Roads traversed shall he
kept in good condition and UNI
obstructed by gates; there must
be no unbridged creeks or
streams not forbade at amy
season of the year
In many cases the residents
along proposed routes have
made improvements that ena-
BILE them to obtain rural deliv-
erv service, but sometimes the
efforts to keep up the roads are
relaxed. But the government
has decided that unless the
roads travelled by the carriers
are properly maintained the
service will be withdrawn. The
postofice department now calls
IN the carriers for reports on
the roads, and will stop the
service where the highways in
question are bad.
The 35,973 rural delivery
carriers now employed cove
S63,363 miles daily, and it is
unreasonable to expect them to
contend with neglected roads.
O. to work for communities
| ,clling the enterprise to ke' p
t ,eir common highways in de-
cent shape. Wherever a route
is discontinued the inhabitants
themselves will be to blame for
lit, for if alive to their own in
terests and their duty to the
public they would give their
roads vigorous and constant at
Itention. The idea that a route,
once authorized is necossarilv
permanent i; a mistake. A l.
vice on the best road methods
is supplied by the agricultural
department., and a neighbnr-
hood that loses it's rural delv-
cry must itself bear the dis
credit for so unpleasant md
humiliating an event.

County
Fair.

This morning the weather
was decidedly cooler, and it
seemed the people didn't like
to get out to the grounds,
knowing it to be the last day of
the fair. Yesterday was such
a record breaker that people
are liable to say things about
the crowd today, but you must
remember that it was the
largest in the history of the
association, and our statement
that there were some 1000
men, women and children on
the grounds was not in the
least exaggerated. Some stated
that there was not much doing,
but the ones who said that evil
IDENTIFY did not see the fine dis
play of products in the floral
hall or the exhibits Of live stock
in the pens, nor did they hear
Cummins or see the races
which We're all good. Every
one likes to get in crowd and
have to be stepped on a few
times before they are really
having a good time.
The judges today are finish
ing their work. and there is the
work of marking the prizes.
There is also a base ball game
in progress between the Mis-
souri, Valley and Woodbine
teams for the first money in the
tournament. While this fea-
ture of the program was not as
we'll patronized as the manage
Iment would have liked, it was
interesting to the base ball fans,
and that is enough. There is
also an election of officers be-
ing held at the secretary's Of
+ flee.
There was lutte an influx of
prominent democrats this morn
ing, having come to see and
hear the Hon. Claude r. Porter,
democratic nominee for COVER
nor. 1t is thought he will be
given an enthusiastic reception
when he DRIVES at 1915.
We have heard so many COM
ments on our county fair that
the citizens and managers
should be justly proud of their
success. A county fair is a
good thing, for it shows up the
resources in the right way.
Afternoon Session at the Fair.
Hon. Claude R. Porter, candi-
date for Governor, arrived
about Ii o'clock and was taken
to the Miller Hotel where he
met friends and had lunch. A
few minutes after / he was
taken to the grounds, accom-
panied by an informal commit
tee. As q horse race was in
progress when the party
reached the grounds the speak
ING did not begin until almost
2::2O, when the speaker was in
troduced by Mayor James. He
only spoke some 40 minutes and
was given close attention by
the crowd present. He re-
viewed the political situation
thoroughly and made a good
impression with the people in
general. Mr.. Porter left at a
o'clock, stating that he regret
ted the fact that he could
not be here this evening to
meet friends.
The ball game this morning
between Missouri Valley and
Woodbine for the first money
in the tournament, resulted in
a score of eleven to three in

was asleep on the track, but
this is highly improbable.

The party given by Mr.. and Mrs.
f. p. Friday and Mr.. and Mrs. W. Il.

week at the beautiful country resi-
dence of the latter, called "Crusoe-
land" was very enjoyable affair.

trip was made In less than half au
hour from the depot, and about sev-

The spacious residence of Mr.. and
Mrs Sherman was tastefully decorat.
cd with autumn leaves, and the
grounds lighted with Japanese Ian
terms, making the effect very beau
t!tul one as the large party alighted
from the train right at the entrance
to the grounds.
Twenty one tables we're occupied by
the guests, who played progressive
