DELIGHTED WITH MISSOURI.

Crops of Adopted Home.

Dearborn, No., Oct. 2~9.-Editor.
Courier: we are still well and ON
joying the finest Of autumn weather.
We regretted to leave the kinsiolk
and friends in Oconcc-as much so
as they could have regretted our
lcaving-but we had had a taste OF
the West and naturally felt like we
must try it again.
There was one Of my school teach
ers and some Of my school pupils
whom did not meet while at

We started Tuesday. October list,

passed Memphis and over the Missis-

$50, and woke up at Springfield.
NO., next morning to find beautiful
fields Of corn and large orchards Of
apples, wide fields OF wheat just up
to a good green. and signs OF frost,
the first We had seen. We reached
Kansas City by noon the second day
Or rather the third, as we started
on Tuesday evening late, and this
was Thursday. Kansas City is a
fine, large town, but built on hills
looked rather funny to Texans to see
such a noted city built on such a
hilly site.
We boarded the train again at 2
o'clock and reached our destination
about $3.50, to find men loading the
finest Jonathan apples into cars with
scoop shovels, very much like load
ing cotton seed hulls in Texas. We
had a jolly ride out to our friends
home in the brisk evening air and
were ready for a good square meal
or Missouri products. We did JUS
ticc to what was set before us, and
then were ready for the music that
came later.
Our friends, VIM. Cradle. his wife
and children, all have done their
part TO give us Il hearty welcome to
Missouri. and we find the people in
general hospitablc and glad to have
Us here.

Local Paper Deserves Support.

The effort OF any newspaper to
build up town is practically nullifed
unless it is backed up the business
men of the town. A stranger turns
from the news columns OF a paper to
its advertising columns, and il be
fails to find there the business cards
OF the merchants and professional
firms he comes to the conclusion that
the editor is not appreciated, in which
case it is good place to keep clear
from No town ever grew without the
active assistance OF its papers. Nor
can papers grow and build up their
localities without the assistance OF the
town. Business men should realize
this, and remember that in lending
support to their local paper thew not
only build up their own business but
are helping to support that which is
steadily working for the growth OF the
whole town.-lberville South.

Fine Shower Sunday Night Seeding
Being Rushed.

After about ten DAYS OF dry and
drying weather which was greatly APP
preclated by everyone, this section
was visited by Il good shower Sunday
night. Between half an inch and an
inch Of water fell thoroughly having
the dust and mOistening up the ground
SO that the seed that was already
planted would terminate quickly, at
the same time not making it sufficient
~ wet TO keep planters out of their
fields. Field work is progressing rap
idly at the present time. Every farmer
seemed to realize that time was COM
ing when they would need all the
field force they could secure, and as u
result there is probably more horse
power, in the shape of horses, mules,
cattle and traction engines, per capita
of farmers. available today than at
anv other time in the history of this
section OF the State. The result IS
that even though the season is late, a
short period Of good weather such as
we are enjoying at the present time
will enable the planters to put in at
least a normal acreage in this locality

WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN
 TEMPERANCE UNION

1t should be remembered that alcohol goes directly and unchanged from the stomach in to the blood, thence to the cells where it poisons the protoplasin, which Huxley says lis the phy- sical basis of life." It therefore becomes a poison at the very fountain head of life. Metc h. nikoff, the great French chem ist has recently stated that al- cohol present in the blood acts as a paralyzant upon the white blood corpucles, which are the defending army against infect. ious germs, giving such germs the right of way, producing diph- theria, pneumonia etc, and that alcoholism is one of the most fruitful sources of the white plague.
 Prof. Kraeplin of Vienna be- came converted from a moderate thinker to a total abstainer when he discovered by actual demonstration how small quan ty of alcohol it takes to immedi. ately and perceptibly impair the machinery of the mind. Con. corning the experiment he said; q became a total abstainer only as result of scientific convic. tions." Again he adds Even il a single dose of alcohol had a favorable effect upon body or mind, nevertheless, in the face of the everywhere recognized al cohol evil, we must exterminate it, root and branch, because there is no other salvation from our misery"
