Eavofs ala Organization

A man who raises q good
deal of fruit is impressed with
the idea of q fruit growers as
ISOLATION in this county. Why
not organize one? There are
so many things to learn about
this business that it needs con-
siderably more than one man
to acquire it all. j. S. McGav.
rem of Mo Valley told us some
weeks ago that there should be
an organization, and we would
like to see one organized. We
will give all the space that such
an organization will require
just to get it in motion. We
will do as much for the alfalfa
association, too. The Observer
wants to help to "Make Harri-
son County Great" If this
county can market 1000 car
loads of apples in addition to
the other agricultural products
it will be that much better for
us all. That there are enough
orchards in the county to pro-
duce that much with proper
handling we verify believe

A Remarkable Record

The announcement is made
by the Chicago & North West
ern Railway that for the year
which ended June 80, 1909,
q, 900, 900 of passengers were
carried over its rails without a
single fatality, and it is difficult
to comprehend the significance
of this statement without the
aid of the most illuminating
illustrations.
For Example The number
of passengers carried by the
North Western during the peri.
cd above mentioned was more
than all the railroads in the
United States carried in the
year 1850. This number of
persons is seven times as great
as were included in both the
Federal and Confederate arm
les during the civil war; twenty
times as many as were in Xer-
xes' army at the invasion of
Greece, generally supposed to
have been the largest number
of persons ever gathered to-

Younger Blood Wanted.

The country, like an old or
chard, needs triming-a clear
ing out of the old decaying trees
so as to give the young trees a
chance to grow and bear fruit.
So with the countryside old
and tried men who have faced
the storms Of winter and heat
of summer have had their day,
and are being retired, and the
younger are taking their place,
intact, it is the order of the age
that they must step down and
out, while the young fall into
line, like the army, when a brave
soldier falls, and they step into
his place and the battle goes on
and the ranks are kept full.
Age and experience does not
count in this fast age-we want
young blood, young get-up-and-
get energy, and no place left
for old foggy ideas, give US the
young blood, and the world will
move. The good book tells us:
"old men for counsel and young
men for war;" but this twenti-
eth century says, the times de-
mands:: '.none but the young
need apply"
We favor equal chances for
Young and old. For him who
does we'll his part in life, either
in high or low position. Like
the orchard. secure the young
when the old fails in fruitage,
but let them live side by side as
both yield good fruit.

Sudden Death

This community was mex
pressably shocked and surpris.
ed this morning when the news
was spread over the city that
VIM M. Harmon, one of our
most loved and respected citi-
zens was stricken down, and
now sleeps with his fathers.
The deceased was Familiarity
called "Pa." He appeared per-
fectly we'll Sunday up to 10
o'clock p. m. when he was TAX
en- with a paralytic stroke from
which he never rallied, and at
9:20 a. m. this morning his spir-
it took its flight to the unseen
world.
The deceased was born in
Thurmont, Maryland, August
1845 and was therefore Ga years
old.
At an early age he came to
Chicago, where he was married
to Miss Josephine Walsh, in
1874, to which union six chill
dren were born, three dead and
three living. He and his bride
came to this city 80 years ago,
he being an employee of the C.
& N. w. Railroad Company and
engaged in work in the paint
shops of this city. Some years
ago lie engaged in business for
himself and has been so engag-
ed for many years until he sold
out his business to Mr.. Porter
and was engaged in the K P.
club as custodian, which position
he held at his death. His family
consisted of wife, and son Will,
in New York City, Mrs. Clint
Norris of Grand Island, Neb.
and Frank of this city, the 9th.
er three deceased.
But few men ever lived who
had more friends among his
acquaintance to know him
was to love him and his death
has caused sorrow in every
home in this city, and deep
sympathy is expressed by all
for the sorrowing family, who
has lost a kind husband an af-
fectionate father and friend.
He was a good citizen and died
without an enemy.
In "Pa" Harmons death all
find that they have lost a true
and noble friend. He was a
member of the K. P's. and Elks.
Funeral arrangements have
not yet been made.

The Missouri VALLEY Chau.

The Miss0uri Valley Chau.
lauqua programme committee
met at DR.. McEvoys Office last
night to consider booking at
fractions for season of 1910,
and made up one of the strong
est entertainments ever given
here or elsewhere.
The list includes Gov. Shall
lenberger of Nebraska who will
open the Chautauqua Saturday
afternoon.
The Royal Hungarian Orches-
ira will be on for three days.
This is the genuine Hungarian

finest musical attractions on
the Chautauqua platform.
The first Sunday Sen. Gore
the blind orator Of Oklahoma
considered one of the greatest
men of his time, and the best
attraction booked last year will
be with us.
The Arthur Middleton Grand
Opera Co of 5 people are booked
for 2 days. Arthur Middleton
is a Missouri Valley boy and
has a reputation of being one
of the great singers of the day.
He is supported by a strong
Company and will be one of the
features or the assembly.
Mrs. Lenora Lake, of st.
Louis is a woman OF national
reputation and her lecture on
"The Divine rights of a Child"
is considered by every Chau-
tauqua where she appeared last
year to be one of the most i'm
portant messages ever given.
Gov. Handley, of Indiana will
also be here and it is needless
to say he is one of the best
speakers at the present time.
Last year Gov. Handley drew
the largest crowds all over the
state. j. Adam Bede is also a

destruction of the world or the

There is no real ground for
complaint. Their object was to

and in securing a lecture by her
was certainly filling a long

that Carry lacks education, cul-
ture, and polish, yet she seems
to have the ability to tell some
solid truths, and to tell them in
the spirit of candor that is cal
culated to interest her hearers,
and she was certainly a draw.
ing card for the association at
this point.
Her lecture here was along
the lines of temperance and
good government, and while on
the subject, she wove into her
talk, other matters of vital inn
portance to the young and RI
sing generation, which, if hee-
ded, make a nation of better
men and women for the future.
And now, after time to think,
we are inclined to believe that
if she should appear again be-
fore our people, she would be
greeted by a larger audience
than last year.
