To the Voters Of LacIede School District

Our school property needs re-
pairing. The assembly hall,
primary room and one recitation
room need reseating. The school
board has no funds with which to
do this work and we are asking the
voters of the district to decide the
matter
The boys and girls in the high
school and the primary department
are using desks that are more than
thirty years old. The seats are
rickety and are falling to pieces.
They are improperly constructed
and unsanitary. Modern and sani-
tary seats are needed.
Are you willing that our boys
and girls should have these ad-
vantages?
If you are paying taxes on
ST., 100000 valuation land the vast
majority are not paying on much
more than half this amount) it will
only cost two dollars extra tax and
this will put our school property
in first-class condition.
Don't you think it is right for
us to give the very best oppor-
tunities possible to the school
children of Laclede?
The election will be held in the
public school building and you are
invited to examine for yourselves
before you vote.

have any provocation away we 60
without an instant's warning and
before we realize what we are
doing the unkind words have been
spoken, and no matter how much
regret wefeel they cannot be unsaid.
There are thousand pretty, en-
gaging little ways, which every
person may put on without running
the risk of being deemed affected
or foppish. The sweet smiles, the
cordial bow, the earnest movement
in addressing friend, the inquiring
glance, the graceful attention which
is so captivating when united with
elf-possession-these will insure us
the good regards of even a churl.
Above all, there is a certain softness
of manner which should be culti-
vated, and which, in either man or
woman, adds a charm that almost
entirely compensates for lack of
beauty, and inestimably enhances
the latter where it does exist.
Time was when woman was de-
scribed as the helpmeet of man.
Was it only a phrase, and meaning
less? Possibly; but then, words in
the Bible mostly did mean ONE
thing. The time, too, was and
yet is in some quarters of the world,
when a woman was a helpmeet, and
accepted and worked up to her po-
sition as such. She did not de-
mand everything and do nothing.
Why is marriage easy and universal
in such a country as Japan? Life
,thsrs - simple syvs9 " tEaree sr1nII
rooms, few dishes, mat upon,
which to sleep, one dress, a little
rice and some fruit-these suffice
for all, rich and poor alike, in a
great city like Yeddo, which has
a civilization as perfect and as old
as ours. And it is not a life of
stupidity or barbarism; all can
read and write; mariners are good;
books and pictures are plenty;
theaters abound; professions and
festival days enliven life. 1t is easy
to see, therefore, why marriage is
not a fearful thing in that far-off
land; and by contrast it is easy to
understand why few have the cour-
age to dare it here.
Let onr homes be places of love,
Joy and brightest sunshine, places
of enduring love that outlasts the
day, and which produces
a life of one long unbroken honey
moon, the molding place of charac-
ter, a place where the child breathes
an atmosphere perfumed by the
choicest flowers of heaven, where
it finds the greatest earthly security
in mothers loving, fostering care.
Avoid unkind criticism. 1t a
life be pure, let all oddities alone.
If you are-convinced that a not
over brilliant young man is trying
70 live a clean life and make an
honest record in the world, don't
pick him to pieces in your after
party talks, even if he is a little
bit of a bore or a trifie close or
rather prosy. A pure man is
better than brilliant man any day, |
and truth and honor make a better
crown than cleverness and wit.
Set your aim in this world toward
he making of happy hearts and
homes, as the woman spoken Of in |
he play, ''Chto," who made the
yrass a little greener for her foot
passing over it" Strive not so

MOVING PICTURES IN THE ORI
 ENT

According to George F.. Anderson. our COnsul-General at Hongkong. there is considerable opportunity waiting for American moving picture films in that district and in Chinese ports as well. Hongkong has half a dozen large moving picture shaws. and there is also a growing demand for cinematograph outfits for private entertainments. French films are mostly in favor, though some of the films now shown are English, be- cause of the size of the British com munity there, but the business, as q whole. is in the hands of the Portu- guese, who also carry on other popu- lar amusement resorts. as roller skat- ing rinks and the like. There is no indication that American films would not be used extensively if they were offered for sale, since the choice of the foreign films seems to be a mat ter of convenience in buying. The comparative low price of admission to these picture shows is building up a brisk trade for there is an enormous population to serve. It looks, tO our consul general. like an opportunity for American manufactures to create and hold a very big business. though considerable capital and patience may be required
 Our consular representative at Con stantinoplc reports that within two years the moving picture shows have gained in popularity in Constantinoplc and in the seaport towns. There are few regular thcatcrs in Turkey and the expense of producing satisfactory plays with good actors, which can be adapted to the needs of pOpula- tion speaking many different dialects. has given the moving picture shaws distinct prosperity. France leads in the films shown, and Italy follows, America and England comes next
 IL often happens that foreign firms buy American films and write titles thereon out of their own ideas of what the pictures show. Indian fights and cowboy shooting scrapes are ire quently labeled: Taken in the United States The actors are wearing American national costumes" All of which it is the business of American film manufacturers to prevent.-New York Sun.
