John F. Aulgur was in from Hern

he backed into the Republican Of

ing TO become eligible to join the
"Sons of Rest" a new order be-
ing organized at Herndon, the
secret of joining which is that
you must go into it backwards.
There are five charter members
-Robt. Taylor, Luther Herndon,
Will Mallott, Jeff and Bud Faul-
c~oner-and as there + quite a
number who show the proper
characteristics it is thought the
lodge will rapidly secure a large
membership. Mr.. Aulgur and J.H
Clark are now in active training.
After you are a member you are
expected to live up to certain
rules, very similar to union labor
rules in many respects.
You may not do anything that
will cause calloused hands, unless
it be that you use a rough-hand-
led knife on a hard fence.
Neither must you go at a speed
exceeding two miles per hour, ex-
cept just before meal times.
Neither may you abuse your
animals by driving them at a
speed exceeding three miles an
hour.
1t is also forbidden to work more
than three hours a day OIL to do
anything that might cause brain
ffever-that is, you must not plan
more than three hours ahead.
Your first duty is to e that
your wife keeps the garden in
good condition and the chickens
a laying, then provide a box or
bench in a handy place for your
headquarters and be careful not
to stray too far from home be-
cause you might have to walk
back contrary to rules.
We were not informed how strict
ly these rules are being observed
by the charter members, but flu
ture members promise to do bet
ter.
Any person wishing to join can
call on any of these gentlemen

they violate all the rules of the
order by being too fast.

Farms in Alaska

Prof. c. c. Georgeson of the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture has recently brought
from Alaska samples of grain and
vegetables, grown in u north
ernmost territory, that have as
tonished the uniformed. From his
and other reports to the depart
ment, it appears that Alaska has
some 100000 900 acres-as large an
erea as the total farming land in
Ohio-that are considered strictly
agricultural land. Grain may be
matured, hay, potatoes and many
vegetables succeed in this region.
The climate is more favorable for
farming than that of Finland wh:re
5000, 900 people live by that in
dustry, and compares well with the
climate of Sweden and Norway,
where agriculture thrives. 1t has
been found that berries and small
fruits will grow we'll in nearly all
sections south of the artic circle,
and that currants, raspberries and
gooseberries succeed better than
in the Eastern States. At Ram
part watermelons we're brought to
maturity last year. Rhubarb, Gu
cumbers, cabbages and turnips
were also grown in his garden by
Judge Frank E. Howard, United
States commissioner, at Coldfoot,
60 miles north of the circle.

Some of these Missouri Demo-
Gratis who are such great advocat
es of reform in national matters
should devote a little of their at
tention to matters nearer home if
they are sincere in their conten-
tons. But we do not believe they
are. They want the other fellow
to reform. Where they secure the
benefit of the grating they seem
to believe it is all right, but it is
a great evil for the other fellow
to be at the crib. There is I'M
doubtedly more or less graft in all
public business, but if the "reform
ers" make a sincere effort to clean
matters up locally it comes with
better grace for them to go away
from home and tell others what
they should do.-Warrensburg

Jesus The Man of Today

Rev. A. H. Stephens d. d. preach
ing in the Odell Ave. Presbyterian
church on the subject: "Jesus the
Man of Today, said in part /:
"Jesus is the contemporary of all
ages.
He not only lived, but lives and
is the moving heart throb of the
world of today and the soul and
spirit of modern civilization.
The intellect lay dormant as a
sleeping giant, until awakened by
the electric touch of the life and
teaching of the Man of today.
Back of all modern progress,
back Of all unselfish and useful hui
man endeavor, back of all deep and
noble thinking lay the solid and
sancitified centuries of Christian
training.
OF the toilsome and patient jour
ney through these centuries men
often take al little account, as they
do of the shining of the sun but
without which, u age would be
dark and frozen, a vertiable glac-
ial period. AS the teaching and
faith of Jesus find their way to the
uttermost parts of the earth, they
take the veil from womap, they
guarantee life to childhood and
place a premium ON virtue and
honesty, they set right human
habitations.
Jesus Christ is the pathfinder of
commerce and civilization, making
possible and permanent human
government and pleasant and en-
durable human h~abitation. The
diplomat has ever followed in the

wake of the missionary.

wake of the missionary.
All benevolence is permeated
with his spirit. Every hospital
and aims house, refuge and refor-
matory is a monument to the Man
of today.
Whether the creature of public
or private beneficence, underlying
the visible results, is the education
of the long and weary past in all
good doing, which has been pro-
noted by the life of Jesus.
The brilliancy and Leauty stream
ing from a thousand faces of our
civilization is the reflected light of
this man of Nazareth.
Devoted to his person and pre-
cepts, is a large part of the best
element of our modern life, men
who will do his bidding at any cost
and who find in his commands the
inspiring motive for all noble SER
vice."

State Candidates Filed

Kansas City, June 6th-This is
the home of the State Chairman
Walter S. Dickey, where his bust
ness interests + centered and
where his presence is required,
not only by his personal business
affairs, but by the great Missouri
River navigation enterprise he is
directing. AS chairman of the Re-
publican State Committee he under
took, after the meeting Of the
committee early in May, to see
that Republican candidates were
named on the primary election bal
lots for congress in each district,
for State Senator in the eighteen
even numbered Districts which
elect this year, and for circuit and
criminal judges in various districts
and that in each county, candidat-
es be named for Representative
and for all the county offices. For
two of the three state offices to
be filled by election this year
Railroad and Warehouse Commits
sioner and Superintendent Of the
Schools-candidates were in the
field, and for Supreme Judge, Hon.
John C. Brown of Madison County
became a candidate at the instance
of a subcommittee of the State
Committee.
Mr.. Dickey opened temporary
headquarters for the committee
work here, and with the assistance
of Rush c. Lake, Secretary of the
Committee, who is also located
here, he got i'm touch with every
county and district chairman as
we'll as with members of the COM
mittee and township and precinct
workers. While candidates have
not been found for every county
and district office there will be
more Republican candidates on the
primary election ballot this year
than at any time within the last
forty years.
The work went on incessently
here till the close of the last day
for filing names for the primary
ballot-June 3d,-and some filings
was made that day with the Sec
Rotary of State. The task so sue
cessfu,ly accomplished, vas an
arduous one for Mr.. Dickey, but
he gave his time and energies to
the work freely.

Considerable comment has been
made by the Democratic papers
regarding the Republican meeting
in Marshall on May 27th, as no
resolutions or endorsements were
made. The meeting was simply an
informal conference of Republicans
who came together to see that
there would be candidates for the
various offices. Resolutions or en-
dorsements were out of order,
Holmes Hall, candidate for Con-
gress, was endorsed as a compli-
ment to him, he being present.
Whenever you hear about Repub-
lican discord, hunt for the source
Of information. There's nothing
to it. While many Republicans
don't agree with certain things,
there's only a healthy opinion or
difference and when it comes to
endorsing it will be done in full
chorus, with a v~indication OF all
Republican policies.

take you long to make the prepar

cured this training, keep ON dig

termination you cannot make a

A Timely Warning.

One OF the most important matters witt
which our next legislative session will have
| to deal is the acceptance or rejection OF the
| proposal of congress OF an amendment 10
| the federal constitution 30 a. to permit the
| imposition of an income tax. An income
tax is tax upon the money income OF an
! individual. above a certain amount, and
graduated to the income. that is, the larger
the income the larger the rate OF taxation.
1t will be seen at once that it hits men of
wealth and large incomes 1t is a method
OF taxation which will cause men of means
to bear a larger share of the support of
government than Is at present borne by
them, and will relieve the poorer class to
the extent that 1t cOmpels wealth to pay.
The acceptance of the proposal will be bit
terly opposed. Three-fourths OF the legis
latures of the various states must acquiesce
or the proposition fails. Strong efforts
will be made in states where the senate is
so easily controlled by the corporate inter
ests as is the senate of Vermont, to defeat

ests." Governor Hughes of New York, in
his last message, voiced an objection which
has been grasped by those opposing the
amendment. Wealth fights Systematically.
