II q man buys $4,000 worth OF
bonds, pays the money for them, locks
them up in his safe-deposit box and
waits for the interest, that is making
an investment, says Lippincott's Mag
azine.
II he orders $4,000 worth of bonds
bought for his account, puts up $1,000
as collateral and then sits around for
the bonds to go up, that is trading on
margin.
Il he meets pretty girl, falls in
love with her, finds out that she has
$1000,000 in her own right, gets wit
nesses to prove that she has fine
disposition and is good housekeep-

beforehand that she. will make an
ideal wife, why, that is gambling.
II he enters politics from disinter-

Charm of Arcadia Valley Be.
coming Widely known.
tFrom the St. Louis Times.l

|
What Lenox is to the New
Yorker, the Arcadia Valley will
be to the future st. Louisan.
Three hours away by train or
automobile, when the fruits OF ex-
ploitation are realized it will be
one of the most beautiful and
| picturesque summer resort coun-
tries in the Middle West.
The recent Mississippi Valley
Land and immigration Congress
held there was the first blast of ex-
ploitation, which awakened the
quiet towns of Ironton, Arcadia
and Pilot Knob. 1t reverberated
through the quiet and backward
Businesses of the Ozarks and for
ever sounded the knell to old
fogyism and lack of progress. 1t
is making for the new era.
Gov. Hadley, Archbishop Glen
non, immigration Commissioner
Curran, Rev. DR.. S. H. VAIN
wright, Henry M. Blossom and
other patriotic Missourians at the
congress extolled the blessings of
this favored valley and pointed
out to its people how to take ad-
vantage of them.
1t was revelation to the Ar
cadians. Some of the most pro-
gressive Of their own people had
been preaching the same things to
them, but the seed did not take
root. Some of those same pro-
gressiyes had sought to start inn
posing projects and like the
! prophets of Scriptural times, had
had little honor in their own coun.
try.
But when state dignitaries told
them the same things, while thou
sands Of strangers filled their
streets, the truth went home, and
\ the Arcadian country set out on
its journey to fill it's mission as
the "Sky Garden of st. Louis, "
and one of the most favorable
pastoral retreats not only in Mis-
souri,, but the Mississippi VAL
ley.
The fever Of exploitation has
seized the Arcadia Valley. The
Ozarks is to prove it's fortune.
Down there they are just begin
ming to realize they are living in
the Adirondacks of the west. The
thousands who attended the con-
gress returned filed with mem
ories of its beauties, each a press
agent to sound them to the world.
They made an endless chain Of
| boosters.
1 No more beautiful spot could
have been chosen to instill love
OF the bucolic in urban dwellers
and start the campaign Of re-
demption Of the Ozarks than the
Arcadian country. The visitors
from all parts Of the State were
charmed with its surroundings

Rockies, but the quieter pastoral
scenes which speak Of the clear

wide. Pilot Knob, the tallest
peak, stands like stalwart sem
tinel over the site, where, during
the Civil War was fought one of
Missouri's most historic battles.
In 1854, when the Eederal force for
a time repelled the advance of the
Confederate Army, commanded
by General Sterling Price, a thou
sand lives were lost.
The earthen walls of old Fort
Davidson, behind which the
Union soldiers made their fght,
still stand, although the fort is dis
mantled. The moat around the
fort remains, as also does the huge
gap opened in the ground by the
explosion of the pow der magazine.
Large trees have grown up around
the inclosure.
Gen. Ewing's force was dis
lodged from the Shut-In Pass by
the Confederates, $4,000 strong,
and Maj. Wilson was captured
and later killed. The Unions re-
treated to the courthouse in IRON
ton, which bears bullet marks of
the fray; then to Fort Davidson,
where 900 men prepared to hold
back the victorious Confederates.
Across from Pilot Knob is Shep-
herd Mountain, and from its sum-
NIT the Confederate batteries be-
gan their bombardment. Then
came the repeated charges of
Price, in which he left more than
1000 dead and hundreds of wound
ed on the field. Fourteen were
killed inside of the fort and Al
wounded. The odds were too un-
equal, and Ewing retreated at mid
night, while gallant detail left
behind blew up the fort. The
dead of both armies were buried
in the trenches while the wounded
were taken to the Military Hos
pital at Ironton.
Men whose names are a shib-
boleth in Missours history fought
in this battle. Rival candidates
for Governor we're arrayed against
each other-Thomas G. Reynolds
of Prices staff and Col. Thomas
G. Fletcher of Ewing's. Fletcher
was chosen Governor later. With
Gen. Price were Gen. Joe Shelby,
Marmaduke and others whom Mis-
sourians venerate.
Pretty scenes abound along
Stout's Creek, at the headwaters |
of which there is beautiful falls. |
Legend connects it with Longfel-
lows story of Evangeline, the
maid who sought her lost lover,
Gabriel. This retreat has been
the mecca of lovers for years.
Pilot Knob, the old mining town
at the north entrance of the valley,
is now quiet village. Ironton,
county seat and principal business
town, is mile to the south. Ar
cadia, the summer colony, is but
mile distant from Ironton. Here
are bungalows and simmer homes
of wealthy st. Louisans dotting
the apex and slopes of Arcadia
Heights.
The mountains are here, there
and everywhere. Rugged old
Pilot Knob is the most pict-
uresque. It's sides are SCARED with
openings where once were slopes
penetrating into its bowels,
through which the miners brought
forth the iron ore. Here was the
terminal of the st. Louis Iron
Mountain & Southern Railway be-
fore the Civil War.
