81 Louis May 1O-The Republican
campaign in Missouri for the year 1910
opened auspiciously at St. Louis last
week. It was big week in the metro
polls of the State. President Taft, head
of the Republican party of the Nation,
and Governor Hadley, head of the
party in Missouri, were heard from the
same platform Wednesday, both advo-
eating the conservation of oul natural
resources the improvement of our
waterways and general forward move
ment for the welfare of the masses.
While the occasion that brought these
great leaders to the same platform at
the same hour was not partizan in the
political sense it was political in a
general way and gave these leaders
opportunity to tell a very large crowd
before them and much greater audi
ence of newspaper readers what the
Republican party will undertake for
the advancement of the Nation and
the State. The president was honored
highly in the city for 16 hours and de-
parted feeling perfectly satisfied with
the result of his visit to Missouri. The
Democratic report that he was received
coldly and not treated cordially by
Republican leaders is simply lie of
the same sort that originates from Demo-
cratic sources whenever great Re-
publican leader comes to advance the
cause of the Republican party in Mis-
souri,.
Governor Hadley came in Wednes-
day and spent three busy and success
fuldays. His speech at the Coliseum
was a maste~ful address and was gen
erously applauded. The president was
evidently delighted with it and so ex-
pressed himself. Thursday was the
busy day. He succeeded
in launching a movement to place
small farms at the disposal of worthy
people who desire to quit city life and
live on the products of their cwn labor
in the purer air and under more restful
and independent conditions. Prelimi-
nary arrangements were made for or
ganizing and capitalizing a philanthropy
ic corporation which is to buy and di-
vide good farming lands into small
tracts to be sold On easy terms and to
start the buyers in farm life 1t is
gigantic movement and must certainly
succeed with men like Governor Had
ley to direct it.

THE new tariff is giving more
people jobs at higher wages than
any new tariff ever did before And
you will also take notice that not
single factory has had to close
or any farmer mortgage his
farm.-Pueblo (Cal.) Opinion.

Alexander. June 15.-The corn crop
in this vicinity that was considered
poor some days ago is now proving to
be a good average stand Of corn. and
since the recent rain last Thursday we
have had nice warm weather and the
corn crop is coming good and has a
good color. and the small grain is look
ing fine. The hay crop is a little short
for this time Of the season, but is MAX
ing rapid growth and bids fair to
make a better crop than was formerly
reported. While our apple and cherry
crop is almost a total failure. we are
having a nice strawberry crop and the
blackberries and raspberries look like
we would have a fair crop of them
Grapes are coming out and look like
we may have half a crop.
DR.. E. A. Warner has left here and

Entered First Land.
The first government land entered in
Providence township Of Hardin coun-
ty was taken as homestead by Will
lam Reece. This was in 1852. The
land IS near the Honey Creek church
A few years later 1t became known
that there had been a mistake made
in the description of this land. A de-
signing neighbor learning Of this.
saddled his horse and started for the
Des Moines land office to take ad-
vantage Of the mistake and file on
the land himself
William Reece knew Of this mans
leaving. but true to his religion, in
stead Of starting at once himself he
waited so he would not miss the mid
week meeting Then he set out on
foot. Walking the entire distance he
beat the rider to the office. and was
coming out Of it, after having had the
description Of the land corrected, as
his neighbor went hn.
Was Blind Many Years.
One "fifthday" morning as William
and Mary Reece were crossing the
meadow going to meeting, the former
spoke of how cloudy the sky had
grown. The wife answered that the sun
was shining brightly. In a few minutes
more sight had entirely left the old
mans eyes. For the last fourteen
years of his life he was blind. He died
on Sept. %, 1895. aged 81 years. All
thru the day Of his death he had work.
ed until up to late in the afternoon.
Then lying down on the couch he went
to sleep and peacefully passed away.
