BOOSTING THE OZARK COUNTRY
MISSION OF MISSOURI LAND COM
GRESS AT SPRINGFIELD.
1t is Desired the Outside World Shall
Know of the Cheap Land OPP
portunities.

Springfield, Missouri.-One of the
things that Gov. Hadley learned while
he lived in Kansas was that it always
pays to advertise.
That is the reason for the existence
of the Missouri board of immigration
and that's the reason the governor
came here 10 deliver a speech before
the Missouri Land and Industrial con-
gress, to help make a noise that Will
attract the attention of the outside
world to the cheap lands, the opportu-
mites and the resources of this part
of the state.
The people of Springfield and OF
this section are ready to boost, too,
They filled the theater where the gov
ernor spoke and they filled the four
story Cowan building where the eX-
hibits of the products of Southern
Missouri are on view.
Gov Hadley had prepared address
but he departed from that and spoke
to the Southern Missourians about
their red apples, their yellow corn,
their little red hens, their boundless
resources and their golden opportuni-
ties. He explained that they needed
immigration to populate and develop
the sparsely settled country of the
Ozarks and that he intended to do his
share in telling the people of states
and nations about those resources and
inducing them to settle here.
L. Z. Ernst, mayor of Springfield,
welcomed the congress and j. H. Cur
ran chief commissioner of the state
board of immigration, responded. H.
A. Buehler, state geologist at Rolla,
told about the mineral resources of
the state and the great wealth that
lies hidden in it's hills and mountains.
Prof. Durward Copeland of Rolla told
about Missouri mining experiment
stations. Prof. E. r. Buckley, presi-
dent of the American Mining congress
of Joplin, told about the mineral
products.

That is the slogan of James ]. Hill.
sage, financier and master railroad

1.-The problem is not local; neither
is it national said Mr.. Hill, adding:
1T is international. All christendom
is wrestling with it. Obviously the
world has reached an economic crisis.
We are not producing foodstuffs enough
We must enlarge the farming area of
the earth, we must apply scientific
principles to farming; we must adapt
ourselves to conditions as best we can
while we are going through the slow,
tedious process Of making the soil
yield more abundantly."

GREATEST COMET OF HISTORY
NOTHING EVER KNOWN LIKE THE
DISPLAY IN WESTERN SKY.
Prof. Larkin Says it is Largest For
eign body Ever in Solar System
So Far as Known.

Ocean Side, California.-Prof.E Edgar
Lucien Larkin, of Mount Lowe, speak
ing of the comet A 1910 said:
"The huge comet now in display
north of the sun at sunset is the larg-
est foreign body ever in the solar
system so far is klfown since the
art of writing was discovered. From
the beginning of Chinese records, b.
G.. 5000 and Chaldean, such a colossal
comet has not been mentioned.
The comet proper, is not the largest
on record but its attendant mass OF
luminous matter is wider in area than
can be conceived of by vivid imagi-
nation. The area of the sun is about
one-fifth of a square degree but the
area of the luminous sheet of matter
high above and far to the south OF the
comet is no less than 1000 square de-
grees.
"The comet at sunset roughly esti-
mated was 20 degrees in length. The
length was vertical but the stem was
not less than ten degrees in width,
leaning toward the south.
North of the comets length the
sky was normal but far and away to-
ward the south for 20 degrees and to-
ward the zenith, 60 degrees, even
to Saturn, the entire sky was covered
with brilliant matter. No such thing
is recorded in the history of man.
This comet is magnificent beyond
all powers of description. The NUCLEUS
is of enormous diameter and we are
now making history that will endure
for ages"
