THE LIFE SAVER.

Paul spent q week at the seashore
this summer He had fine time. There
were so many things to have fun with.
And. best Of all. he liked the bathing
and rolling around in the sand on the
beach.
What interested him most were the
life savers. who sat all day on the
"stepIadder BENCH as he called IL. with
a great umbrella over their heads.
How excited he would be when one
OF the bathers would get beyond his
depth and these men would dash out to
the rescue.
When he returned home he thought of
them often. and decided he would be a
lire saver when he grew to be a nan;
but IL was so long to wait until then.
He decided he would play at being a
life saver, now. To be sure, he wasn't
q very good swimmer. but he could play
that, too.
HIS little playmate. Elmer, has a pond
IN his own yard. And Paul decided that
was the very place. He told Elmer. and
they fixed a stepladder on the bank and
fastened a big umbrella over IL.
Then Elmer and two little cousins,
who were visiting him and were good
swimmers. went into the pond; and
Paul. dressed in his bathing suit. took
his seat
But. alas for the little life saver The
umbrella tipped, and the weight OF that
tipped the ladder. too. and the whole lie
Saving outfit went into the pond.
paul fell on his face and was splut-
tering around in the water. helpless. un-
iii the two little swimmers rescued him.
And now when his playmates wish %
plague him they call him. Paul. the life
saver"

THE amazing fact in connection
with the statistics which tell of our
achievements said Gov. Hadley at
Moberly, lis that this result has been
accomplished by the cultivation Of
only about onc.half of the soil, and by
only a preliminary development of our
mineral and industrial wealth. The
total. area of the state of Missouri is
a. million acres, of which only 23h
million acres are improved and in cul.
tivation. Thus, nearly one.half of the
soil OF Missouri has " been touched
by a plowsharc. Seventeen million
acres Of forests await the stroke of the
woodman's ak; 3h million acres OF
swamred and flooded lands within the
boundaries of the state are totally or
partially impaired for the purpose of
cultivation by reason Of numerous
overflows. Fifty per CEN of that part
of our soil that Is now being cultivated
is being cultivated in such a way as
to decrease. rather than increase its
productivity. Our average yield OF
wheat is only about fourteen bushels
TO the acre, while in Belgium, France
and England the yield is nearly thirty.
And yet the soil upon which the wheat
is grown in this state is equal to the
soil of any of these foreign countries.
The same disparity exists in the pro.
dlction OF corn and other crops in
some lands in this state, as compared
with others"
