In the boiler room two 200-horse

Going from the boiler room into the

ufacture of ice. Every tank and every
pipe bears evidence of cleanliness
and good keeping. The different
steam apparatus necessary to carry
the work, all move with the lightness
of a sewing machine, and their appear
ance while running are graceful and
interesting.
In the freezing department the
tanks, numbering over one hundred,
are handled by an air pressure device,
pulling two tanks with one operation.
When this ice is taken from the tanks,
roomy cold storage room convent
ly fitted up and easily accessible to
both wagons and trains, receives it
for keeping.
The plant is so arranged as to
double the capacity should necessity
demand. In all, this ice plant is one
Of the prettiest and best arranged of
any in the state.
Across the street in the lumber
sheds much activity was witnessed.
A general overhauling and changing
of arrangements and building is go
ing forward. A new engine house has
been erected and a 750horse power
engine placed therein, an engine IF
the newest make and a credit to the
machinery world. The steam for the
driving of this monster will come
through an underground pipe from
the ice plant boilers.
The planning mill machinery and its
arrangement is alse receiving atten.
ton. A large shaving blower Is being
erected from the palmer at the mill
to the fuel room of the ice plant,
which is convent to furnish steam
for both industries. This blower is
so arranged as to carry every part

place in the fuel room as soon as ii
leaves the planer and saw.
1t is thought that all this activity
will be supplanted by the moving Of
the wheels of these two enterprises
within the next week.
The ice plant has already been
running to a limited extent to test
its working, and the trial has proved
a perfect success in every way.
Hattiesburg needs more of such en-
terprise and industry as the promot
ers have shown and will give them g

closed Thursday night. Its purpose
was to be kind Of educational school
in Missions, and to prepare the way
for a big offering for Foreign Missions
which, in the Christian church, is taken
all over the country In the month OF
March. S. ]. Corey Of Cinclnnati,w
the chairman Of the meeting. The
speakers besides the chairman, were,
Royal ]. Dye, from the African field;
f. e. Hagin, from Japan; and W. B.
Taylor, Of Moberly, W. A. Fite, Of
Fulton; AMI Q. Fl, Swift, OF the Aux
vase church; Holly Hale, of Wellsville;
and ]. d. Greer, Of Laddonia, were
also present, besides many visitors
from Moberly, Fulton, AuxvasSe,

The walls of the church, were cover
ed with maps, showing all the fields Of
the Foreign Society, with the growth
Of the work, the Living Link system,
and much information concerning the
work, the missionary equipment and
needs. Mr.. Corey explained these maps
and charts at nearly all the sessions,
and thus gave comprehensive view
of the present status of the Foreign
work OF the Christian church. DR..
Dye told the story Of his efforts on the
Congo among superstitious cannibal
people. 1t was exceedingly interest
ing to see the exhibit of curios brought
from that part Of Africa, and to hear
the thrilling stores OF preaching the
Gospel to these Heather who are
STEPPED In al. sins and vices Of a brut-
ish cannibal polygamous race. But
the Gospel there is proving the power
of God to save. There at Bolenge
under the Equator is the largest
Christian Endeavor Society in the
world.
Mr.. Hagin was equally interesting
In the story of his pioneer work in
Japan, especially assuring US OF the
|sincerity OF the Japanese convert.
Altogether such a day was worth q
trip across the state, even II to just
look upon the faces OF these men who
are willing to brave so much and
sacrifice so deeply that joys q cIviliza-
tion and hopes of the Gospel may
penetrate these dark and benighted
regions.

senatorship is, In dignity and impor-
tance, the greatest office In the gift OF

tions, notably the governorship and
speakership,are more directly connect
ed with state affairs. The United
States Senator is Missouri's represent
ative at the republics council table.
Among ourselves at home we may for
give. OF our representative abroad
we wish the highest. He should stand
for the best in Missouri We cannot
send the whole state to the senate at
Washington, but we can send, il the
people so desire, the very best repre-
sentative OF the highest life Of the
people. just now there is q moral
awakening In political affairs. Mis-
souri, is q leader In this advance. The
local option victories are but a single
evidence. Voters are demanding that
their public oficials should be men
untouched By scandal In public or in
private life, who do not prostitute po-
sition to serve unworthy ends, who
are legislators, not lobbyists, public
servants in deed and in truth. or
such type should be the next United
States senator from Missouri, c demo-
crat from principle, not for revenue
only, q statesman with splendid re-
cord, a man who represents the moral
sense Of the commonwealth.
