Boys, Grow Corn!

The Missouri boys corn growing
contest promises to be larger than ever
this year. In 1908 more than 800
Missouri farmer boys were in this con
test and at least 1000 are expected to
enroll in 1909. There are two classes,
one for boys between the ages of ten
and sixteen and one for young men
between the ages of sixteen and twenty.
Liberal prizes are being offered again
this year at the state fair and the Mis-
souri corn show at Columbia for the
best exhibits in both classes. Besides
the cash prizes two large silver trophys
are offered, one for the best sample
exhibited in the boys class and the
other for that in the young mems
class.
The amount of corn to be grown in
the boys class is one-fourth acre and
in the young mems class one acre.
There are no fees or requirements for
admission. Simply send name, age
and address to the secretary of the
Missouri Com Growers association at
Columbia asking to be enrolled. Corn
for planting will be furnished those
who have no good seed of their own.
A circular giving full particulars re-
garding the rules and prizes in this
contest as well as directions for plant
ing and cultivating the corn will be
mailed upon request.

Busy Days for Legislators.
Special correspondence.

Special correspondence.
Jefferson City, February 2O.-Visit-
ors this week have found everybody
about the state house busy. The law
makers are working night and day on
the many bills which have been in
troduced. While the senate sessions
have been short each day the senators
have all been engaged in committee
work. Senate bills are rushed to sec
ond reading and referred to commit
tees as quick as they are printed.
Nearly two hundred such bills are now
in the hands of committees, and a
goodly number have been reported
upon and are on the calendar for en-
grossment. Next week the senate
will have enough bills under consider
alton to keep the senators at their
desks morning and afternoon. No bill
has yet passed either branch of the
Legislature, though several have been
engrossed in the house.
About 600 bills have so far been in
troduced in the house and about 800
in the senate. At least a dozen big
measures will be ready for introduce
ton early next week, among them sew
eral specially desired by the governor.
The city delegation is trying to agree
on home rule bill, in order that the
governor may be consulted about it
before it is introduced.
Several dramshop bills are now
pending, drawn in harmony with the
Republican state platform and the
recommendations of Governor Hadley.
One of them provides that no man who
holds public office Of any kind may
be licensed to keep a dramshop. It
also prohibits license to any one hold
ing membership in a. political party
committee. It is not constitutional to
prohibit saloon keeper from holding
office, but it is designed to rule the
saloon keeper out of politics. Cover
nor Hadley has not been asked to ap-
prove it. Another bill, following the
suggestion of the governor, is intended
to entirely separate the saloon from
ownership OF control by brewers, dis
tillers, or wholesalers.
Representative Kies, of Cape Girar-
deau, has a bill for the higher and
more equitable assessment of property,
providing a system under which al
taxable property may be listed at its
real value. This bill, if enacted, viii
solve the revenue problem.

convention be heidi" has received

For Self Preservation.

Missouri's zinc miners are in nc
humor to allow the movement to as
sert their rights to be suspended OF
thrown off the track. They have made
up their minds to find out who it is
that schemed to lower their wages to
the foreign peon level and to place the
whole zinc industry on that footing
This matter has been brought home
to the zinc miners of the United States
They see the foreign ore brought in
from another country by railroad, duty
free, because the peon scale of wages
enables the smelters' trust to get it for
less money. At the same time foreign
zinc districts are developed at the ex-
pense of our own. Our interests suffer,
while those abroad are built up.
This question is live wire in poll
tics. 1t cost the Democrats four con-
gressional districts in this state last
November, and the free trade party is
mortally afraid of it in the congress
sional campaign of next year, as well
it may be. Yet, in the coming revis-
ion of the tariff the ten Democratic
congressman from Missouri, along with
Senator Stone, will work and vote
against a protective duty for zinc.
They are also opposed to the existing
protective duty on lead, and would
vote to strike down the policy of pro-
lection as whole. They are free
traders to a man. If any one of the
number denies it he thereby repu-
dates the national platform and lead
ership of his party. Missouri's zinc
miners have organized to get their
rightful and necessary share of pro-
lection, and they propose to ascertain
precisely the names of individuals and
organizations who are trying to cheap
er their labor and break down their
business. Now watch how their free
trade enemies will wriggle and bubble
and seek to hide. e.-Globe Democrat.

Cheerful Evening Reverfes for Tired

God places somewhere in the
heart Of each Of us a tender mem
DRY, which enables us to touch with
a gentle hand or soothing word the
heart Of the afflicted. What a
comfort to know that for every
heartache, there is somewhere in
the universe a heaven inspired
soul to comfort those downcast.
Let us make our words as dew
from heaven, touching with gentle
hand the withered flowers, giving
new vigor to the hardy.

other proposition. Governor Hadley
has pronounced in favor of it. Some
want the vote deferred till the regu-
lar election in 1910, but the leaders
want the election held in the summer
of this year so the delegates may be
elected next fall and the convention
may assemble next winter. Then the
new constitution can be submitted to
vote before the regular state election,
or at that election. It is desirable to
separate the constitutional propositions
from party campaigns. 1t is likely
that decisive action may be taken on
this matter next week.
A newspaper story to the effect that
there has been a break between state
Chairman Dickey and Governor Had
ley is most emphatically denied here
by the best authority governors S
private secretary and the secretary of
the state committee, Hon. Rush G.
Lake, a man who talks about such
things only when he has something
definite to say. Chairman Dickey re-
turned to the state from a trip to the
South and to Cuba last week and de-
parted last Tuesday for New Orleans.
He will be in Washington to attend
the Inauguration, and, like all Missouri
Republicans, will be delighted because
Missouri will be in the procession of
Republican states, represented by a
Republican governor, and having con-
tributed her electoral vote to the Re-
publican president-elect. 1t will be a
proud day for Missouri Republican
leaders.
There is no party matter of special
interest to report from the capital at
the close of this, the busiest and best
week of the legislative session. The
immediate administration family has
been made up for the present by the
confirmation of John Kennish as in
surance commissioner, and by the Sc
lection of another able and reliable
friend of the governor for warden OF
the penitentiary; so Governor Hadley
now has by his side tried and true and
wise friends and party leaders,. G..
Gmelich, lieutenant governor; John E.
Swanger, bank commissioner; John
Kennish, insurance commissioner;
Capt. Humboldt, adjutant general;
Rush c. Lake, private secretary; and
a good friend as warden. The deputies
under these men are also able and
loyal friends of the governor. Thus sur
rounded with men in hearty sympathy
with him and personally devoted, Gov
ernor Hadley is strongly reinforced fo1

the battles he will have to fight; and
while the legislature is in session he
will have equally strong men to rely
upon in both the senate and house,
among them the senate leader, Sena-
tor A. E. L. Gardner, and the success
ful and influential speaker of the house,
Mr. Speer.

with the most sublime influence.
How sweet the recollection in after

the recollections of mothers
tendernessa And how many have

prayers and tears of mother7

fancy her throbbing heart was our
safe protection and support, and
through the ills and maIadies of
childhood, her gentle hand min
istered and soothed as none other
could. We feel animated to strug-
gle more .manfully in the great
battle of life, when we remember
our mothers holy counsel to us in
childhood's early dawn and in the
slippery paths of youth. Ah!
those words of tenderness-those
pious precepts softened by a mothi
er's love-too much unheeded, then
disregarded-live now frightened
in memory, and constitute our
sweetest recollections. Her pray
ers for us in childhood-her spark
ling crystal tears-made an i'm
preston on our young mind as
durable as time, and even now
they bid US walk in the paths of
rectitude.
But alas! how little do a ma
Jority of us appreciate a mothers
tenderness while living! How
needless are we in youth of all her
anxieties and Kindness! But when
she is dead and gone; when the
cares and coldness of the world
come whitening to our hearts;
when we experience how hard it is
to find true sympathy, how few
love us for ourselves, how few will
befriend us in our misfortune, then
we think of the mother that loved
US and to her our hearts turn
yearningly.

HOME HAPPINSS.


Probably nineteen-twentieth Of
the happiness you will ever have,
you will get at home. The indie
pendence that comes to a man
when his work is over and he feels
that he has run out of the storm
into the quie. harbor Of home,
where he can rest in peace with
his family, is something real. 1t
does not make much difference
whether you own your house or
have one little room in that house,
you can make that little room a
home to you. You can people it
with such moods, you can turn to
it with such sweet fancies, that it
will be fairly luminous with their
presence, and will be to you the
very perfec ton of home. Against
this home none of you should ever
transgress.
Make your homes pleasant to
your children and there will be no
armies Of unemployed marching
through the country. In America
every sober. industrious, honest
young man can find employment.
He may have to accept of an hum
bic calling, but will rapidly climb
the ladder. ''As the twig is bent
the tree is inclined" and it is the
homes without pleasures or hap
piness that sends the children up
on the streets in search Of a more
congenial atmosphere than they
find beneath the parental roof.
There are none of us so poor but
we can train a few roses on the
humble wall, and their scent and
beauty will long be remembered,
and many boy, instead of going
to loaf upon the public highway
will linger at home among the
flowers. Moral degradation al
ways begins at home. Honesty is
never gained or lost suddenly, or
by accident, but idleness feeds up
on it and will, in time, use up the
last vestige. The happy home,
be it a cottage or mansion, fur
nishes no recruits for an army of
unemployed.
DONT'S FOR FARMERS.
