DECLARES MISSOURI
FLOWS WITH HONEY
Representative Hamlin Ad-
dresses Natives.

Declaring that Missouri literally flows
with milk and honey. Representative c.
w. Hamlin, in an address last night be-
fore the Missouri Society of the District
at the Arlington, told of the growth OF
the United States, and of the important
part the show me" State has played in
the progress of the nation
In those early days, when our little
three millions of people adopted the con-
stitution," said Representative HamIin,
we had no mode of travel except over
muddy roads. Now We ride on palatial
express trains, and If they are too slow,
We fly across the continent.
Missouri has contributed her share
toward the development since those days,
and to-day she literally flows with milk
and honey. The little busy Missouri bee
produced last year 400 tons of honey,
and the generous COWS on the farms in
our State gave up 1S,479,93 gallons of
milk. The value of the annual surplus
yield of farm products is approximately
S31J, 900, 900. Corn. oats, hay, and wheat
alone amount to Sic, 00O, 600, and we market
annually $45, 100000 worth of poultry. The
hens in Missouri lay enough eggs each
year to give every man, woman, and
child in the State fifty dozen EACH
Attorney General E. w. Major, of
who is in Washington on a
business mission, made an interesting
address on the old-time country life in
when he was a boy.
The PRESIDENT of the society, Repre-
sentative James T. Lloyd, introduced the
speakers. The programme included, in
addition to the addresses, a piano solo
by Miss Elizabeth Underwood, vocal
solo by Mrs. Elizabeth Smith Maxwell
and a recitation by Miss Joe Proctor.

troubles are caused by myriads of germs
at work in the skin. Unless these germs
are promptly destroyed they rapidly muI-

that awful itch, and what seemed a
mere rash may grow worse and develop
into loathsome and torturing skin dis

Don't take any chances! Destroy the
germs at the beginning of the trouble

Now Opportunities.

Today we all face new opportunities
for growth In grace and in the knowl
edge of Christ. II is only the man OF
spiritual pride that will not feel that
the hours offer to him a new spiritual
chance-a chance to be more like
Christ when the sun goes down upon
his newly dawned day. II must be
that we fail to see the significance OF
this line OF mercies so freely offered
to all men. Each morning comes with
this invitation: "Ho, every one that
thirsteth, come ye to the waters"
This Is simply the call to accept the
divine mercies Of character. Every
morning is alive with that opportu.
nifty. II we do not see these mercies
II Is because we are spiritually blind.
What unconquered regions of kind.
ness lie before our souls! What un-
explored fields Of divine benevolencel
What untried paths Of conservation
These are the possibilities that God
sets before us now. Tomorrow morn
ing should see us setting out on the
stubborn and courageous march
toward our ideal. The height and
breadth and depth Of the love OF God
in Christ give us an ambition equal to
the efforts Of an eternity.
