Wants NJ. L. Credits to Get A. IL.

Miss Mabel E. Sturtevant, formerly
of BrOOkfield, Mo-. and an alumnus
of the University of Missouri, has
written the registrars office asking
for her credits from the University
counting toward an Academic degree.
Miss Sturtevant is now attending the
University of Chicago. She was grad
uated from the School of Law here in
1908 with the degree of LII. b.

to address Confederate reunion.
Only a few months after he had
been back from that trip Mr.. Kirk
was elected state superintendent OF
Missouri public schools. He served
the state well during his term of fOul
years which ended 1899. Remember
this is the man who began mis- work
as an educator for the pittance OF
$40 month as teacher. But
money has never gagged his view OF
success.
His Title Is Mr."
1t was after his term as state SUI
perintendent that he was selected as
the head for the state normal school
at the town which bears his name.
In that school today the student
Cares not refer to the president as
DIR. in spite of the degrees or as pro-
fesSOr. His term is Mister Kirk.
He has instructed his students and
he calls the new man down if he
Oversteps Mister" Even his daugh-
ter in the office refers to him as Mr..
Kirk to strangers but Dad to friends.
1t has been his model rural school
house which has made Mr.. Kirk and
Missouri known all over the country.
1t took the work of fourteen years as
an educator and as a man of close
observation and new ideas. He claims
that he was aided by others. John
r. Kirk, however, was the man who
put the others ideas as we'll as his
own together and was the man of ac-
tion who put the plans in material.
This plan or new idea of his was the
modern rural school house. Only
4 short time ago a man from Boston
was down to Kirksville merely for
the purpose of looking over that
model for study. Two years the wag-
ons have been sent out over the coun-
try around Kirksville for the rural
pupils. They were loaded and in the
shadow of the State Normal School
these rural children got the best ed
ucation in the best equipped rural
school building that has ever been
devised.
1t is the idea of Mr.. Kirk that the
rural children can grasp an idea or
learn better and quicker than the
town or city children. They have
been close to nature and grasp the
new things quicker because the most
of the courses are new fields to them.
In this model school house, which
many rural schools have patterned
to a certain extent. every inch of
space is used for some purpose in the
of the daughters and sons
of farmers. In the basement the gas
oline engine is used for pumping wa
ter from well so that water works
are part of the building. The equip
ment of the school house is such

HOME TRADE IS THE CHIEF
FACTOR IN TOWNS GROWTH.
Real Civic Spirit Of Population Shown
In Extent to Which Local Stores
Are Pstronixed.

II Is the ambition OF every town
to grow and to keep on growing.
These are the days In which things
move. Our largest cities were nothing
more than villages in their beginning.
Would they have W. amounted to
anything IL the people who lived in
them had failed to patronize the men
who invested their money in opening
stores to supply their wants? OF
ours not. Nobody denies that home
trade is the backbone. the very life
and sinew. of a towns prosperity. And
yet the people living in a whole lot OF
these villages and towns of bright
promise need a sharp awakening 10 a
fact generally acknowledged and so
often demonstrated. Permit the local
merchant who Is doing an honest busi-
ness to meet with failure and leave
your town and you deal your town a
blow more deadly than you may real
lie. Support that local merchant by
paying him your money for necessities.
instead of sending 1T to a thankless
mail order house that sham
bargains. and you are doing your duty
ms a citizen and at the same time help
ing to lay the foundation for a grow
ing community.
Unfortunately there are communi-
advertisements OF mail order concerns,
ignore the existence of the home
tradesmen and send their money into
this misdirected channel in the false
belief that they will receive good mer-
chandlse at next to cost. No success
full tradesman Is selling his goods at
cost price. II he followed hat rule he
would be nothing less than IN imbe-
ciie. The sham bargain advertised by
n dishonest mail order firm is the
worst enemy the small town has to
combat. and It is the duty OF the citi-
zens Of the ambitious small town to
fight the octopus scheming to devour
them.
The man and woman with money to
spend w a duty to the town they
call home. Actions speak louder than
words. Money talks. A dollar spent
at home is a~ction-aetion Of the right
sort. And that dollar will talk. igura-
lively speaking. 1t will help to make
your town grow. Soon more stores
will come. new buildings will go up,
the railroad You use will quickly take
notice and give you more trains, and
finally you will feel about as proud OF
your village as the American boy feels
when he first dons long trousers. Re
member those first long "pants'-strui
about and show EN- feeling? Well
when a town gets to feel that way it's
surely growing too.

busting Off Trouble
BY HORACE MONTGOMERY

His hand was on the seat and partly
covered by her skirts. Hers dlssp-
peared from view. and ! knew that it
rested on his.

before me.

there was something on the mans

As they left me the man had an
abashed look, while his young wifes
face was wreathed in smiles. As l
looked at them l felt the justice In my
charge to the girl that II was her part
to ward trouble from her husband
Whatever he felt he had no ability to
show; what she felt was as plain as the
sun In heaven.
The case. though different from tine
thousands that came before me and re-
freshing as 1t was, had passed out OF
my mind when one day on taking my
seat for my days work | saw on my
desk a glass vase conta ming a bunch
OF ordinary flowers. Before 1t rested u
card on which was written; From the
garden Of our happy home. secoho

Having no remembrance OF John ana
Mary Hilton, I gazed AT the gift puh'
zled. Looking up. ] saw at the farthe'
end of the courtroom a girl waving y
handkerchief and smiling. Her race
was familiar. and I knew she was pen.
on attracting my attention. Then u
came over me that she was one OF the
couple | had by my simple expedleh'

consequent mlseries.

three to five inches across before they
open and are then ready to be cut and
used. The best way TO cook them, |
think, is just as we cook asparagus.
There are other things that can be
used for asparagus substitutes. Among
them we have a kind of lettuce Qac-

used the young shoots OF this plant and

Text of the lesson.-Mark vi, 1856.
Some one has said that, while the
feeding of the 5000 sets before us u
great commission to give living bread
10 the hungry multitudes. the boat in
the storm with Jesus away on the
mountain top is wonderfully suggestive
Of another feature Of this present age,
the conflict of the church with the
world, the flesh and the devil. while the
Lord Jesus is at the right hand of the
Father on behalf of his tried and
toiling people. We are certainly in a
great conflict. not with flesh and blood,
but against municipalities, against pow
ers. against the rulers of the darkness
of this world. against wicked spirits in
heavenly places tEphesians vi. 12), and
we need the whole arln0r Of God to
stand against the wiies OF the devil.
One great trouble is that we are too
ignorant OF his devices and are apt to be
deceived by his religious activity and
think it TO be OF God. Everything that
does not honor Jesus as God and rest
only on his great sacrifice for he for
giveness of sins. however religious 1t
may seem. cannot be of God and must
therefore be OF the devil.
Consider. then. the bold that he has

all the isms which deny the supernat-

his present ministry at the right hand
of the Father and his coming again

ness and peace OF the earth. Truly
the winds are contrary, and. though the
