PERRYsBuRe TO HAVE p. A. c.

A meeting was held few evenings
ago to organize a Perrysburg Athletic
Club. Another meeting will be held
in the near future which will be an
nounced in the Journal 1t is the
object of the promoters to have an
organization so formed that will be
credit to the town and So liberal
that any and all will feel themselves
at home but conducted in such a
manner that the most refined and
cultured may enjoy and participate
in the ainusementS. The intentions
are to have a double bowling alley,
about one billiard and two pool
tables, gymnaZium, basket ball check
ers, dominoes, reading and writing
room. 1t is not to be carried on for
the purpose of making money but to
| furnish place of recreation and ply
steal, mental and moral development,
| 1t is non sectarian as 1t is the idea
of the organizers to have the offices
divided up amongst the churches SO
that the Catholic, Methodist, Pres
byterian and Evangelical shall be
represented and any other denomina-
tion that may have representatives
in the club.
They ask the cooperation of all the
churches, aid societies and w. G. T.
u. They believe that the problem
has been solved whereby it can cas-
lily be financed. Now don't say can't
cant never accomplished anything,
but say yes with CAPITAL. Help
talk it up; work it up; help it UP
and when the band wagon drives
through Perrysburg there will be
room enough for all. So get ready
to hop on. More about it next weel
so keep your eye on the indicator.

What They Have in Texas.

In letter received this week by
G. A. Keeper from his brother
Perry Keeper, living near Clyde,
Texas, he states that they have
not had a good rain in that coun-
try since May goth, 1909, more
than a year. He further states
that they have not got anything
in the way of crop and that
stock water would not last over
another week, and farmers were
all being compelled TO ship out
what stock they had, as it was dy-
ing. Their cotton would only
make about an 9th of a crop, and
the pastures were burnt bare.
Such is the life of the Texas far
mer, while the farmers in this sec
ton of grand old Missouri are
threshing out from SO to II bushels
of oats and IS to 27 bushels OF
wheat to the acre, and have fair
prospect for corn, with plenty oil
good pasture and stock water, ano
think they have room to complain

To Sing Praises of Missouri.

Caroling hymn in praise of the
Ozarks, Henry Gellert, who speaks
five tongues fluently and can say
howdy-do in as many more, is to
welcome immigrants and endeavor
to persuade them of the superior
advantages of Missouri over all the
other states in the Union as a
place to live.
Gellert has just been selected to
represent MISSOURI at the waters
edge. The Federal government
permits each state to maintain a
a representative at Ellis Island,
but at present only three are do
ing it. The representative wears a
brass buttoned blue uniform with
the name of his state across his
cap, and he has the privilege OF
boarding inbound ships so as to
get an early start with his argu-
ments.
Gellert's hymn is called "At
Home in the Ozarks.' and is in
five stanzas. 1t is the tune Of
my Country, IT'S of Thee be-
cause that is tune nearly every
foreigner learns before he come tc
this country, Gellert says.
AS yet the song has been writer
only in German, but Gcllert ex-
poets latter to translate into Eng
lish and Polish and Bohemian anc
French verse. His grand uncle
was a poet widely known among
German-speaking people and hi
has inherited a fondness for mete
and rhyme.
