Potato Harvest
Draws Hobo Army.

The potato digging harvest is now
on between st. Louis and Alton, in
the American Bottoms, and farmers
are receiving from $4,000 to $780,
900 weekly from the buyers for the
product.
Buyers are thick from st. Louis
and Chicago.
With the digging season has come
the American Bottoms hobo" from
the berry fields farther south, and
hundreds are now camping in the
vicinity OF Nsmeoki, Mitchell, Poag,
Edwardsville Crossing and other
places nearer to Alton.
The hoboes will not take a job in
the fields The farmers. however,
hire them to unload potatoes from
wagons into box cars and they make
enough money from this source to
keep the ''growler" rushing from
dusk on.
The fields are ioraged ior corn, and
potatoes are to be had for the ask
ing.
The trsmps sleep In empty box
cars and appear to be entirely happy.

OF any one ever being seriously hurt

A Good Saloon Law.

Last week Hon. Perry RAIDER, OF
Jefferson City, was here on business.
During a conversation with the edi-
tor, he remarked that q town In
Canada, which he visited, had thebest
saloon law he ever heard OF, and a
practical test had proved It to be
beneficial to the lsboring class. In
that place, which is q manufacturing
town, the saloons are closed each
evening at 8 O'Clock and remain clos
ed until 6 o'clock the next morning,
except Saturday night when they re-
main open until 8 O'Clock In theeven-

morning. Thepolicelock the saloons

The police are prosecuted as the own

property from 8 In the evening until
6o'clock next morning. He was told
that no man could get q drink dur
ing the time the saloons were closed.
Mr.. RAIDER was taken out In the labor
ing mans district, and be was aston
ished at the thrift displayed BY the
vorkmen. The streets were paved
and with granitoid walks and nice
brick buildings, costing from $3, 900
to $4,000 Everything looked neat
and clean and bis escort Informed
him that the prosperity was due al
most solely to the early closing oi
the saloons. This is good saloon
closing law and should be generally
practiced In our great and growing

FLEET To FIGHT
IMAGINARY FOES
ON LONG CRUISE.
Only Efficient Officers viii Be
in Command Of Voyage to
the Pacific.
CAN COAL AT ALL PORTS.
Men Are to Practice Gunnery
En- Route and There Will
Be No Hurry.

Washington, July 15.-When the
American battleship fleet starts on
It's 13, 900 mile cruise to the Pacific
Ocean II will proceed under war con-
ditions, imaginary enemies will be
discovered en- route which will have
to be repelled; ships will steam In dii-
ferent formations; at night search
lights will be used to pick up other
vessels and signal; wireless telegrsphy
will be employed for conveying orders
and for information.
In q word, the feet will be not only
constantly prepared, but will con-
duct maneuvers designed to Increase
It's effectiveness.
The result of the program mapped
out by the authorities will be that q
more efficient command will report
at San Francisco.
1t is evident the cruise will be one
OF the hardest that has been under
taken by an American command since
the battleship Oregon made It's rec
ord.breaking trip from San Francisco
to Key West. For this reason the
Navy Department is anxious that
only such officers be attached to the
ships as can stand the work and are
young enough to derive benefit and
to use the experience for the advan-
tage OF the country.
SOME TO SERVE AS SCOUTS
In spite OF the fact that the armor-
ed cruisers will not accompany the
battleships to the Pacific, preceding
1t under the plans now adopted,
number OF inferior vessels will be at
tached to the feet. There will be
some cruisers which will serve as
scouys, number OF auxiliaries, in
cluding colliers and supply ships, and
perhaps q fotilla Of torpedo boat
destroyers.
Owing to the plans that have been
mapped out for the feet the trip
around Cape Horn will not be rec
ord.breaklng one 80 far as speed Is
concerned. As there Is no urgent
need for these vessels an the Pacific
Coast, Rear Admiral Evans will take
plenty Of time and when he reaches
San Francisco he Is expected to have
his feet In first class condition IN
every respect, and the men will have
made their records for gunnery.

Means "Wooden Canoe" |"

walter williams In the Globe Democrat.
Missouri is an Indian word. 1t
does not and never did mean muddy
water" but wooden canoe" Ii be-
longs to the Illinois dialect Of the
Algonquin Indian language, the Ian
guage which was generally spoken
las maintained by many historians)
by the various aboriginal tribes
which inhabited the country between
she Mississippi river and Delaware
bay. Discussing this subject several
years ago, the Brooklyn Eagle main
tained that II was not very difficult
to gather support for the definition
and derivation OF the word Missouri.
Among the indians Of Main boat
or canoe was called "s ma-sui, with
the Narragansettsit was "me-shu-e."
With the Delswares It was "Ma.sho.
la," with the Miamis about Lake
Michigan II was "mis-so-la," with
the Illinois tribe II was "wie wes mis-
suri," for a birch bark canoe, and
"e-mis sure" for a wooden canoe or
a canoe fashioned from a log OF
wood.
The name Missuris or Missouris
was originally applied by the Indians
Of the Lake Michigan region to the
tribe OF Indians living west OF the
Mississippi and along the shores oil
the Muddy river, the Missouri. The
term meant "the wooden canoe peo-
ple," or "the people who use wooden
canoes" The Lake Michigan In
dians use birch-bsrk canoes, as did
Marquette and j oliet In their descent
of the Wisconsin to the Conception"
while the Indians OF the Muddy
river" used canoes dug out OF logs,
because the birch-bsrk canoes were
too irsil for the navigation OF that
turbulent stream.
The first reference OF the Missouri
tribe OF Indians made by a European
was by Marquette in letter written
In 1870 to LaMercie, his father gu
perior, as Indians "who used canoes
OF wood" On Marquette's map ap
pears the name and location OF th'
Gu. Messoure.
is-sou-ry is an acquired pronun
citation. No Missourian says 1t nat
urally. The Indians, from whom thu
word came; the French and spanish
who explored 1t, and the early En-
glish settlers, all, and always, uset
the soft sound Of "s," better express
ed by "z". Then the dictionary max
ers came with their rules, based OF
scientific principles, and said Mis-
sourisns did not know what the
name OF their state was, and 80 told
them 1t was Mis- soo.ri. Only when
the Century dictionary came was
the dictionary authority upon the
side Of common usage.
The State OF Missouri, the Official
publication OF the Missouri worlds
fair commission, places the pronun'
citation as "Miz-zou-ry," and most
Mlssourians prefer the bees to the
snakes.
The whole contention hinges upon
the question whether q majority ol
dictionaries or a majority OF the peo
pie should determine the peoples
pronunciation.
Grand old Miz-zou.ry!

Thanksgiving Proclamation

The early settlers of New England,
after the harvest had been gathered,
were moved to appoint day on which
to come together and give united
thanks to God for His protecting care

this day express our especial recog-
milton of our dependence upon God
and our sincere gratitude for His
Divine favor.
For the opportunity to labor and the
products of field, mill, and shop; for

faith for the future-let our thanks
giving be made.
But let us prove our gratitude ant

In these and other fitting ways lie
