among prominent asparagus growers
Il to cut down all plants. including

The question of statewide prohi-
bition comes up next Tuesday for
the voters of Missouri to answer.
and what the answer will be no
man knows. Party polls, wet and
dry polls and every other method
taken to approximately forecast
the result are of little or no value,
for the reason that thousands of
voters will cast wet or dry bal
lot according to the influence they
are under last before entering the
voting booth. And this does not
imply a good or bad influence,
necessarily, There is plenty of
good sound logic and reason on
both sides of the question; how
eber, to the writer it appears that
the prohibition advocates have
the better of it. They. have an
swered every argument of their op-
ponents in a thorough, satisfactory,
convincing way; on the other hand
many of their attacks on the Ii
quor traffic remain unanswered
The "drys" are most entitled tc
your help for the mere reason that
their side of the matter overbal-
ances the other when weighed ir
the balance with it We make nc
pretense of knowing absolutely
which will be the wiser step fol-
the state to take-to continue un
der the local option law or to cas-
it off in favor Of statewide prohi.
bition. Neither does any mar
know which is the better, and the
voter should listen sparingly t.
him who admits no possibility o
right on the other side Be guild
ed simply and only by justice ant
reason, and you will have nothing
on your conscience, whatever tn
outcome.

boys donned their DISCUSSES in one
room, the girls in another, and
partners were chosen by fitting to-
gether pieces of souvenir post cards,
this part of the program being car
ried out in ghostly silence, even TO
the consuming of the tasty two
course luncheon of pressed meat
sandwiches, nut salad, pumpkin
pie, fruit and cider. Following the
luncheon the guests unmasked and

For Collector
Bob Sloan.


four years ago he put into effect a
policy that exactly hit the public
fancy and no doubt has had much
to do with making him one of the
most popular officials the county
has ever had. The policy is de-
fined in the platform on which he
is making his race for reelection
this fall-."Detailed Publicity of
public Affairs" Mr.. Sloan from
the time he entered Office has reg
ularly mailed to every voter in Jas
per county a detailed statement
of the affairs of the collectors Of
flee, accounting for every penny
that came into his hands.
Such policy was an innova-
ton. but a decidedly welcome in
novation. 1t relieved the public of
any necessity of keeping tab on
Mr.. Sloan while in office, and its
result has been that not one
single whisper of doubt has
ever been heard as to the efficiency
and absolute four sauareness of
Bob Sloan, county collector. The
public has a confidence in him
that will find expression Nov. Sth
in rolling up the majority for his
reelection that such policy de-
serves.
The Joplin News Herald recent
ly had the following to say of Mr..
Sloan's candidacy:
Robert M. Sloan is a live wire.
No one ever accused Bob Sloan of
being asleep on any job and it is
with campaigning the same as in
the management of his office-he
puts all his energy and enthusiasm
into it.
When Sloan ran a livery stable
over at Carthage, he hoed corn and
built up a business that was a
credit to the town.
mr.. Sloan was educated at the
Gem City Business at Quincy, Ills.
He was graduated from the courses
of bookkeeping, banking and COM
mercial law. He knows business
from A to lizard and he knows
Jasper county from the Dade
county line to the mining camps
on the other side. Sloan is Jas.
per county product and typical of
the spirit of push and progress that
has made this the empire county
of the state.
The Office of county collector is
an important one. 1t is impor-
tant to the people more than
many of the offices that are more
eagerly sought after by candidate:
because of their greater emolu
ments. 1t is an Office through
which must pass annually some
half million dollars of the peoples
money. 1t requires a man o
brain and education, of wide awak,
and active intelligence, of energy
and enthusiasm-and last but no
least, of honesty. Bob Sloan wa
raised in Jaspercounty and is wide
ly known in this county. He ha
been in business for years-yet nj
one ever accused Bob Sloan of no
being lon the square.
"Mr. Sloan has mailed detaile'
itemized statement of collection
and disbursements to every tax
payer in Jasper county who's
name is to be found in Durham
directory. This is record and MI
Sloan stands by it, in office or out.

CHURCH D|SAPPROVES
OF HIGHER CRITICISM
Presbyterian Synod Declares
Ministers Views of Penta-
touch Unsatisfactory"

FRESNO, Cal, October 22.-After six
hours of earnest debate the commission
ers of the Synod of California and Ne
vada yesterday decided that the views of
DIR. Thomas Franklin Day, when he as
serted that the Pentateuch was not writ
ten by Moses. are declared unsatisfac-
tory because incompatible with the stand
ards of the Presbyterian Church in the
United States Of America as interpreted
by her highest courts.
This covers only the first of the four
teen questions submitted to DR.. Day as
professor of Hebrew eXegesis and Old
Testament literature in the San Francis
co Theological Seminary. located at San
Anselmo. by the board of directors of that
institution, and which comprise the foun-
dation of the investigation into the Or
thodoxy Of DIR. Day.
What DR.. Days Defenders Say.
DIR. Days defenders declared that if
his views are heretical it follows that the
book on THE Old Testament and Its
Contents published by the Presbyterian
/, Church for instruction and written by
Prof. James Robertson of Glasgow Uni
versity is heretical.
While this is only one question. it is
considered as indicative of the general
attitude of the synod toward the higher
criticisms.

THE DIRECTORY BUSINESS
By FREDERIC ]. HASKIN.

an ambitious society woman studies her
blue book more carefully than her Bible.
Another phase of the directory bust
ness that has developed by leaps and
bounds in recent years is the making of
who's Who" The first who's who on
record an English publication
brought out i'm 1850. The American one
is modelled after this. The idea of the
localities, many trades and many profess
sions. Sometimes these publications do
really tell who is who. At other times
who's who is the fellow having enough
dollars to pay for the notice that makes
him such.
The largest book ever made is a direc-
tory. 1t contains 5000 pages of twenty
eight by thirty-two inch paper and weighs
pounds. 1t required nine pieces OF
number six trunk boards for the cover
and five feet of russia leather for the
tering the visitors at the Alaska-Yukon
exposition, and had space for $4,000
names.
The first directory of which We have
record was published in London in 1871.
under the title "A Collection of Names
of Merchants. The first American direc-
tory was published in New York in 1IS6
and contained 1000 names. The earliest
work to bear the name was printed in
est collection of directories i'll the world
is TO be found in the British museum. Not
only does this collection comprise the
publications of this nature for all Eng
lish cities. but also for all the cities and
towns of Great Britains numerous
colonies.
