TO PATRONS OF THE

The National Commission on
Country Life has suggested that the
people meet In their respective dis
trict school houses to discuss the
questions Of most vital interest to
che community.
In response to this suggestion
and on account Of my deep interest
In the country district schools, !
have designated Friday evening,

plying such needs.
1t has been suggested by the Com
mission that the economic, social
sanitary and educational status OF
each community be ascertained, and
so far as possible, means of supply
Ing deficiencies agreed upon.
Believing as do that the educa-
tional interest Is most vital to every
community, and knowing that the

cate n large majority OF the children
Of Missouri, | would respectfully

uary 18th be devoted to the discus
sion OF the question, How To I'm

Joint Celebration by Two Countries.
The United States and Great Brit
ain are making preparations for the
joint celebration Of the dual ami
versary. With the Tooth birthday
anniversaries OF Poe, DR.. Holmes
and Lord Tennyson falling within
the comieg year, both countries will
find material for number OF highly
appropriate observances, while mu-
sic loving Germany, true to the
memory OF her great composer, Men
delssohn, will honor him on the
completion Of century from his
birth.
The anniversaries OF Champlain,
Hudson and Fulton, the two last
famed for exploits on the same
river, will be made the occasion OF
celebrations by millions who yield
to them the honor which men in all
ages love to give to courage, perse-
verence and ingenuity.
Out Of the great Northwest terri
tory, acquired In 1909, has been
carved almost an empire, certainly
country OF more than imperial
wealth, and the mechanical inven-
ton which has made the annual
multiplication of that wealth pos
sibility was the product OF the brain
of man born the year the territory
was ceded to the United States. He
was Cyrus Mccormick, born in vir-
ginia. AT the age OF 20 he followed
his fathers lead, trying to invent
a grain harvester. He met with
success and the machine In almost
universal use to-day liz practically
as he designed IL over half "A century
ago. In that time the annual grain
harvest Of the United States has
risen from 60 million to 700 million
bushels. No small part In the build
Ing up of the golden West has been
played by the machine given to the
world by Cyrus Mccormick.
