Edwin j. Troy who was the edi-
tor of the ST. Louis Star, for Satur-
day, presents Missouri Idea" and
a map to illustrate it that amounts
to something. This map forcefully
illustrates Missouri's present and
future greatness. and especially her
future prospects for becoming the
first state in the Union. He shows
that Missouri is the center of pro-
duction of cattle, hogs, lead and
zinc, horses and mules. and farm
products. With all this he asks
why should it not be the center of
manufactures? The geographical
center of the Union is just over the
line in Kansas. The center of pop
ulation is in Indiana and rapidly
moving toward Missouri. The cen
ter of corn production is just across
the line in Illinois. The complete
redemption of the bottom lands of
Missouri and other rivers of the
state would almost Immediately
move this center into Missouri.
The center of manufacturing is now
in Ohio and steadily moving west
ward There is no reason why she
should not at an early day become
the manufacturing center and hold
it for all time to come Her fuel
and transportation possibilities are
superior to any state in the Union,
whether it be rail or water no state
can be more generously supplied.
This fact is it is up to MiSSourians
to do the rest. They have all that
nature and good fortune can sup
ply and it is for us to use them to
our best advantage. Moberly DEM

pure bred seed corn to any wide

the patch and then plant it and

corn. This will not only perhaps
enable you to land a valuable prize
at the State Corn Show but in a
year from now you will be able to
sell your surplus seed to your neigh

Actor Was Only Acting.

Stephen Phillips. the dramatist and
poet whose financial misfortunes are so
widely regretted, began life as a member
of f. r. Benson's repertoire company.
An amusing story is told of his debut.
Mr. Benson had told him that the ~reat
thing for an actor is to act. at does
not matter" he continued $50 much
what the words are which the actor
speaks as the impression which he con-
veys to the audience by those words"
Then he gave Mr.. Phillips the part OF
Balthazar in Romeo and Juliet" on
the first night Balthazar managed the
first line Of his part, and then forgot
the rest. Romeo, in the person Of Mr..
Benson. had to go to his assistance and
speak the rest of the part for him,
while Balthazar exhibited an agony Of
speechless GRIEF.
What do you mean" Mr. Benson af-
forwards demanded. by going on the
stage without knowing your part?"
II was only doing what you told me.
You said the great thing on the stage
was not so much the words you speak
as to act. Well, 1 was acting."-Lon-

sun nears the western horizon thousands
o. these birds may be seen flying an great
locks toward a certain orchard or grove.
Many select a thicket IN some lonely hol-
low. while others will select some large
lawn where shade trees stand.
Lows often select a dark deep hollow
with trees and bushes on an sides. wher,
they form a sort OF rookery. They Tx,
dead trees TO roost on, and IN some place,
they visit certain favored spots until theli
continued occupancy kills many Of the
trees. II is amusing to visit the haunts Of

Crows and blackbirds are quiet during
