Development of the
Ozark Regions.

October 18th Governor Hadley
accompanied by a number of
friends. will begin a most unique,
and at the same time important
trip of exploration on the current
river from Salem to Doniphan.
The trip will last three days and
will be interrupted from time to
time at towns along the river
where meetings will be held and
speeches made. Governor Had
ley, after several trips to the
southern sections of the state is
an enthusiast as to the possibility
of the development of the Ozark
plateau, and this trip is part OF
a general plan for the develop
ment of the undeveloped resour-
ces of the state, which has be-
come one of the established pur-
poses of his administration.
In 1908 the Republicans inaug,
urated a campaign for a greater
and more progressive state. II
has succeeded admirably. Their
campaign in 1910 will be along
the same lines and will be more
successful.

FERTILE LANDS AT LOW PRICES
Western Kansas and Eastern Colorado
Land Within the Reach of All.

AS the country becomes more
thickly populated, and the prices
of really good farm land continue
to go higher, 1t becomes necessa-
ry for men of moderate means,
who desire to own a farm of their
own, to follow the course of en-
pire, which it is said takes it's
way westward.
Perhaps there is no more desir-
aole land, at low price, than
can be found in western Kansas
and Eastern Colorado. Realizing
that there was a demand for such
land, Mr.. w. r. Pennington of
this city made an extended ousi-
ness trip to that part of the coun-
try during July and personally
investigated the land that was to
De had at a reasonable price. He
finally decided that the SOIL cli-
mate and ABUNDANT water supply,
taken in consideration with the
price, made the land about Syr-
acuse, Kansas, and Towner, Colo
RADIO, about the best proposition
to offerto farmers and home
seekers that could be found.
The firm of Pennington & Jones
of this city now are in a position
to offer the public 100000 acres
of fine, rich, fertile land, deep
soil, at the very low price of
$3.50 per acre, in tracts of 100
acres or more. The land is choc-
olate loan, 81 inches deep, and
will produce as large crops of
wheat, corn, etc., as the bottom
lands of this state. 1t also pro-
duces three crops of alfalfa a
season and is particularly well
adapted to the production of po-
tatoes and vegetables. An abun-
dance of pure, soft water is found
at depth of ABOUT S5 feet. The
annual rainfall is about the same
as in Missouri. If you are looking
for a location and want to buy
really desirable, productive land
at a low price investigate this
land.
Home seekers excursions the
first and third Tuesdays of each
month. Round trip tickets from
Montg City, Mo-, to SYRIA
cuse, Kan, $21.1O.

thousands of human beings, and the
flames mercilessly completed the un.
finished devastation.
Those who have explicit knowledge
IN the subject agree that the center of
the cataclysm was the Strait Of Messina,
which also is the center Of the volcanic
zone, whose highest peak, Etna, is now
silent. From this base, the Telluric dis
turbance extended, abating little by
little, northely as far as Cape Vaticano
and s~outherly as far as the Bay of
Catania, ravaging the western region of
Calabria and the eastern coast of Sicily
for a distance Of nearly 100 miles.
It is impossible to ascertain the ex-
tent of the movement east and west in
the inland regions, but it 10 certain that

ADDS TO HORROR

Destruction Of Messina Terrible and
Complete.

Rome.-It is beginning to be possible
to obtain something of a precise idea
| of the extent of the catastrophe caused
by the earthquake. Messina is said to
look like a town that had been bonn.
barded for hours by a great war fleet.
Not a house remains standing. Of the
city's 100000 inhabitants, it is still i'm.
possible to say how many persisted.
There is a possibility that a third sur.

case, it is safe to say that 10000
persons were buried beneath the wreck.

In thirty seconds Italy lost more of
her children than did Russia in a whole
year of her war with Japan, which was
the most sanguinary i'll history. 1t
seems certain that all the small towns
and villages that dotted the shore and
hills near Reggie have been annihilated.
Without counting the lesser centers of
population, the following have been al
most entirely destroyed.
Messina, 100000; Reggie, $4,000; Laz-
FARO, 1000; Scilla, 5000; Gaguara, 49,
900; Villa San Giovanni, $4,000, and
Palmi, $4,000. Inland towns and vii
lagos, too, have suffered enormously.

Cleveland, O.-For the next two weeks

night at Epworth Memorial Church
1900 delegates from the Christian En-
deavor Society and the Baptist Young

impassioned appeal by the Rev. W. B.
Wallace, leader in the movement,

tions to follow in the footsteps Of Jesus.
In his address Rev. Mr.. Wallace point.

must lead a joyous life. They will quit
kicking and will go to work in a cheer

deavor to be honest in business. They
may find this task rather hard, as one
business man already has declared that
his clerks, most of whom are members of
one of the two societies, will be imme-
fired if they try to keep their
pledges around his establishment.

WHAT IS GAMBLING?
Living Church Says It II Not Getting
Something for Nothing.

Chicago.-Apropos of the crusade
against card playing for prizes being
conducted by Reformer Arthur Burrage
Farwell, "the essence of gambling is
not, as is sometimes said, the fact Of
receiving something for nothing If
it were, the recipet Of every gift made
in the true spirit of giving would be m
act Of gambling" says the Living Church,
one of the most prominent organs of
the Episcopal Church.
"A prize for attendance or for pro-
iciency at Sunday or day school rests
ethically upon precisely the same plane
as a prize for the winner at cards. If
the government intends to p~enalize one
sort Of prize giving it must logica'
p~enalize every other sort. The essence
of gambling is in the attempt, through
covetousness, to secure from another
that which the other does not offer as
a free gift"
"The free gift of Jesus Christ to the
world is the pattern which impels us to
give gifts to each other, and Christmas
time is a poor time to suggest that the
act of giving, which necessarily involves
the act of receiving the gift, is intrin-
sically wrong,

EARTHQUAKE FOR THE SOUTH
Prediction That Little Rock and Hot
Springs Will Be Hit.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-Geologieal re-
searches indicate that portions of Okla
homa, Arkansas and Texas will one day
be visited by an earthquake more far
reaching in its area and more destructive
in its effects than that from which Italy
recently has suffered, according to Prof.
Charles N. Gould, a member of the fac
ulty of the Oklahoma State University
and director of the State geological sur
vey. He says that Tishomingo and
Atkoia, Okla, Denison, Waco and Tex
arkana, Tex, and Little Rock and Hot
Springs, Ark, will be in the center line
of disturbances. Prof. Gould claims that
the cause of the recent disturbance was
the sliding of subterranean layers of rock
accelerated by the tidal wave. He pre-
diets that eventually a series of disturb
ances will bring the quake center beneath
the central part Of the United States and
toward the South. He makes no predic-
ton as to the date.

BAPTIZED UNDER ICE.
Cold Water of Lake Used to Wash
Away Sins.

St. Joseph, Mich.-In the presence Of
1000 persons grouped on the snow and
ice-clad shore of Lake Michigan, a class
Of Church of God converts were Sunday
afternoon baptized by Rev. August +.
Schmittz, head of the local church. De-
scending into the chilled water by means
of a ladder, through a hole in the ice,
ten persons, ranging in age from a small
child to a frail woman ~ years old, were
thus immersed. A cold, raw wind
swept in from the lake. Clad in the
robes of his church, the Rev. Semitic
solemnly led the religious procession
across the ice to the open water a hun.
dred feet from the shore, where the cere-
mony was to take place. After offering
up a prayer he entered the water, which
came up to his chest. Floating ice in.
