newal of strength which we get in
our home. A true home is a little
fragment. of heaven let down on
earth to inspire us with patience
and strength for the way.
Home is the greatest school Of
life. Few can receive the honors
of a college education, but all are
graduates Of home. The learning
of the university may fade, it's
knowledge may monldar in tie halls
of memory, but the simple lessons
of home impressed upon the hearts
of childhood, defy the rust Of years
and outline the vivid picture of
life, mid pleasures and palaces we
may roam. Be it ever so humble,
there's no place like home"
If there is heroism in the field
there is equal heroism in many a
home which the world knows moth
ing about, which only angels see.
There are fathers who grandly
struggle against the tides of fate,
and never lisp the secret of their
whose young dreams have
all faded, but who patiently bear
their allotted burden with what
tries to be resignation. There are
noble women whose domestic attic
tions would crush them if they
were not heroines, who silently suf-
fer and make the most of their dis
appointed years. They sing in the
minor key, but still they sing, and
so the world thinks them happy
when they are only brave.
There are men whose nightly re-
turn to their homes always means
needless misery to their households.
They find fault with their dinners,
with. their household bills, with the
children. and with everything else.
They make sarcastic remarks that
burn and scar the sensitive souls of
their wives. They carry home the
worries of business. They take it
out" of their families for everything
that has gone wrong in the days
work, and some are towards enough
to revenge upon the innocent and
helpless those wrongs and affronts
which they have not had courage
enough to resist and resent upon
the offender.
Where is my boy tonight? You
are his father or mother, and if you
desire to lay your hands upon your
boy within five minutes any night,
you wouldn't know where to find
him. He's on the street somewhere,
or at the railroad depot jumping on
freight trains, but just where, with
whom, in what engaged, what plot
ting or what executing for the
shrewder ones who plot for him,
you could not tell for the life of
you. He has a good home and he
ought to be there at night. He de-
sires to be somewhere else with the
boys, and you lack the moral cour-
age to insist that he shall be where
he should be. You hope that he
will escape the pitfall, but you
know the chances are against him.
Why don't you do the boy the
kindness to keep him home nights2
The time will come when he will
thank you for it or reproach you for
not doing it.

GOVERNOR HADLEY STANDS FIRM
Rsiterates All His Campaign Declarations and
Renews Promises Made When Candidate

x ~ =
When Governor Hadley, with
hand erect. and poise easy, stood
before the chief justice Of the SUI
preme court last Monday on the
speakers s stand in the magnificent
hall Of the house Of representatives,
thousands of the best men and wo-
1 men of Missouri looked upon him
with admiration. Hundreds Of
loyal, devoted republican leaders
looked upon him with unspeakable
delight. The grave justices Of the
supreme court, the state senator's
and the new and retiring state Of
ficials were round about him. His
predecessor, who had walked arm
in arm with him to the stand, stood
close by. The wisest, most famous
and most eminent Missourians of
the present day were all around
him. Out before him were the 142
republicans and democrats who
compose the house Of representa-
tives Of the forty-ffth general as
sembly, and with them were noble
men and women from every section
Of the state. It was mighty ar
ray, Of honest, intelligent Missouri
manhood and womanhood. A more
representative gathering of real
Missourians could not have been
assembled.
When the venerable Chief Justice
Valiant looked upon the young
governor and addressed him in roy
al language as Your majesty" J" a
hush fell on the eager crowd and
all seemed to realize the solemnity
Of the occasion. When the stall
wart young governor in clear. de-
termined, manly tones answered,
i do," to the question, DO you
promise to uphold the constitution
and laws7" the crowd applauded
heartily.
The oath administered, Herbert
S. Hadley became the governor OF
Missouri, and at once began his
inaugural address. If any person
there present expected him to evade,
qualify or discount single prom
Use or proposition he had made
when asking the confidence and the
votes of Missourians, that person
was quickly disappointed, for he
reiterated every promise, re-stated
every proposition and made en-
phatic declaration of his purpose to
do all and more than he had pledg-
ed in behalf of the political, moral,
educational, commercial and indus
trial interests of the people, empha-
sizing clearly his views and pur-
pose SO that no one can doubt
where he stands on any issue now
before the people.
Governor Hadley could only out
line his policies and his view in his
inaugural address. In subsequent
messages which he will submit to
the legislature he will enter more
into the details of the proposed
legislation and the propositions
which have to do with what he be-
lieves may be accomplished for the
good of the people, for raising rev.
enue, for compelling obedience of
the law, for regulating dramshops
and corporations, for advancing
the educational interests, etc.
These special messages viii show
how thoroughly he has mastered
the study of problems which con-
front the legislature and will enlist
the active support of those members
and senators who really want to see
Grand Old Missouri set forward as
the empire state of the West.

Club House Is Delightful, and Lake Is
One of the Best In This Section.

Elkhart Lake, owned by private

The club house is modern and roomy
with large main hall, old-time fire
place, ample sleeping apartments
with neat beds, comfortable chairs,
etc. And there is a large, we'll fur
nished dining room. The lake is one
of the prettiest in this section of the

premium. Some of Palestine's best
people are back of the enterprise.
