The P. E. O.'s gave their annual
mothers banquet" following the
regular meeting held at the pretty
suburban home of Mr.. and Mrs. G..
E. Bruins last Wednesday after
noon. The chapter children and
husbands that were fortunate
enough to be present spent a de-
lightful evening. A sumptuous
luncheon was spread on the lawn
but before the eating commenced
rain came up and the scene of ac-
ton was transferred to the dining
room where the feast was enjoyed
to the full satisfaction of all. While
the rain somewhat interfered, the
occasion was an enjoyable one
throughout.

Missouri Soil and Climate and Corn CROWN.

The fertile valleys of the Missis-
sippi and the Missouri and of the
numerous other rivers of the state,
the black prairie loan of the CEN
tral and northern sections and the
alluvial plains Of southeastern Mis-
souri, furnish millions Of acres of
the best corn soil in the world. The
rainfall of this section is abundant,
but not excessive. The climate is
mild, and the growing season long
enough to produce the maximum
yield of corn. The season for
planting extends from March to
July, giving the farmers an oppor-
tunity to plant and cultivate large
areas. 1t requires from ITO to 13O
days to mature a crop of corn in
Missouri. The average date for
the first killing frost in central
Missouri is October 15, which gives
ample time for early-maturing corn
to ripen when planted as late as
June 20.
The average crop-season precip-
itation-March to September, in
clusive-is 27.65 inches. This is
three inches greater than that of
Illinois, five inches greater than
that of Kansas, seven inches great
er than that of Minnesota and eight
inches greater than that of Nebras-
ka.n Plenty of rain and a fertile
soil make Missouri a great corn
state.

Shino anu CHECKS Cne Impatient eX'
! clamatiOn and harsh rebuke-a re-
, ligion that is polite, deferential to
superiors, courteous to interiors
: and considerate to friends; relig-
ion that goes into the family and
keeps the husband from being cross
when the dinner is late, and keeps
the wife from fretting when he
tracks the floor with his muddy
boots and makes him mindful of
the scraper and the door mat:
keeps the mother patient when the
baby is cross and amuses the child
rem as well as instructs them; cares
for the servants besides paying
them promptly; projects the honey
moon into the harvest moon and
makes the happy home like the
Easter fig tree, bearing in it's bosom
at once the beauty Of the tender
blossom and the glory of the ripen-
ed fruit. We want religion that
shall interpose between the ruts
! and the gullies and the rocks of the
highways of life and the sensitive
souls who are travelling over them.
1t has been most truly stated,
Distance lends enchantment,":
and the city looks we'll from the
old farm. Perhaps you do not see
thorns and thistles, but they grow
in the city thicker than on the
farm. Home discipline may be
hard to learn, but in it are gems of
all successes. Parents are midway
in the temple of life and certainly
must know more than those stand
ing on the threshold. 1t is always
safe to listen to the voice of wisdom
and affection. You may not be
permitted to control all things at
home, but please remember before
seeking the large liberty of the city |
that you can control nothing there.
You may wear store clothes, but |
you must be the servant of all. |
Liberty and ease are the fruit of !
toll. The boy that knows more
than his parents goes to the wall in
the city. Success depends upon
industry, obedience, economy and
purity. Brown hands, clean tongues
and hearts are in great demand in
the city. A country loafer becomes
a city loafer and neither country
nor city has use for either. The
earthquake never breaks the ground
so as to heave gold at their feet.
Boys who present noble and manly
lives for recommendations may win
In the city you must
begin away down, but if you smil-
ingly submit to the inevitable and
make each day tell how much,
rather than how little good work
ycu can do, you will be in the line
