MISSOURI WEATHER

Have you ever met the man who
says that Missouri weather is the
worst in the United States? He is
ever present in the fall and the
spring. The same man says that he
knows it will be SO cold that no per-
son can stand it this winter while
last spring he said every thing and
every body would burn up.
When the first frost appears on
the brown leaves in the creek bot
toms and low places in the fall. he
begins to make preparation to 60
South. In the spring when the sun
begins to rise early and a warm
south wind elbows up" in the after
noon, he begins to think of the cool
Northern breezes.
The weather crank" never stops
to consider the kind of weather that
Missouri really has. In fact some of
them never stay to see for them
selves. They see only the bad
weather, read only the accounts of
the bad weather that is coming and
think only about going on visit"
when the weather is bad.
If the man who is never pleased
with the weather would stop to think
that not one football game has been
stopped by the weather man, the at
tendance at mass meeting has never
been small on account of a rain
storm, the wind has never been
strong enough to blow his evening
paper away and only once or twice
has the moon been hid by clouds this
fall, he would be at a loss for an
answer. But he does not do this-he
will say why, it rained all day last
Tuesday and the farmers could. not
get out to vote"
Stop-for a minute and think of the
good weather,that we had last spring
and it wasn't SO hot at night last
enunor Iou,t tho scronko urop0
when he says that Missouri weather
is the worst? -

FOR BETTER FARM LIFE.

1t is good to note that courses will
be given to the short course students
with the purpose of bettering the 80
cial life on the farm. Lectures in
rural recreation will be given by Mr..
o. F. Field to his class in physical
training.
1t is probable that our rural life
does not need so much economic bet
terment as it does social betterment.
Most farmers are, well-to-do as far
as worldly goods 60, but often the
social life is very dull. even in the
wealthisst rural communities. While
the automobile has done much to
remedy the social condition, it can
not do enough. The social life OF
the fafmer must be centered in the
rural districts and not carried to the
city. Recreation must be found by
the farmer in his rural environment
The great thing that is needed in
rural life is vtrile social life for the
young persons. When this is OBJ
tanned the flow of young men to the
cities will be stopped and farm life
will become what it ought to. the
best and happiest OF all lives.

BRYCE'S AMERICAN SPIRIT.

Ambassador James Bryce will no
longer be the diplomatic representa-
tive of Great Britain to the United
States. His official resignation has
been announced. Several reasons
have been put forth for his retire
ment from official life. It may be
that he has not always pleased his
home government in his negotiations
with this country's representatives
in Washington. However that may
be he is growing old, and the duties
of his Office are becoming exceeding
ly weighty, especially with the Pan
anna canal controversy about to come
up for consideration. 1t is known he
has wanted more time for his liter
ary work, which has engaged his at
tention for a number of years.
The American government, especi-
ally its many officials who have their
headquarters in Washington, will
seriously miss Ambassador Bryce. He
is recognized as a leading authority
on American life. social and eco
nomic conditions. The advice of this
versatile Englishman has Influenced

many pieces of legislation that adorn
American statute books today. Amer
lean legislators and other officials
advised freely with James Bryce. He
was always ready to offer informa-
tion at his hand, and he has always
been dominated with the spirit of the
country and with an earnest wish
for its best welfare. This country
loses a valuable citizen"

HE GAVE HIS LIFE IN VAIN.

This old world of ours had seen
many brave young fellow, and
many an older one, too, who have
feared only to be afraid Privations
almost too great for human endur-
ance. dangers to make one quail who
was not of the sternest fibre, all
have met their masters in men Of
rugged mind, whose determination
could not be made to flag, whose
spirits scorned to weaken. Death in
its grisliest forms has been faced
and conquered by stout-hearted he
roes 1t has sought to touch.
To all the brave men who have
lived and died we offer tribute. Yet
what can we say that will brighten
the wreaths of true manhood that
glisten upon their brows? Nobility
of character is its own best acknowl-
edgement. A hero's contribution to
humanity is his own best epitaph.
Yet even among these, the highest
placement go to a few-not to those
who overcame the specters In the
path, but those stern-willed ones who
sought out the monsters that have
lain in wait for human prey, and
fought them in their lairs, those who
have gone out of their way to strug-
gle for their fellows. Such a one
was the Gary newsboy. His name?
All, what matters that? Few indeed
will remember his name, but the i'm
print of his deed is a permanent part
of the race, not to be obliterated by
time, nor smeared over by a thous-
and acts of selfishness.
No ordinary human motive stimu-
lated the Gary newsboy. No throng
stood by watching him. None re-
quired him, none expected him to
offer himself as a sacrifice. Far from
carrying out deed thrust upon him,
his humble spirit sought out his
destiny, drawn by the means Of the
burned girl whose life the physi-
clans promised in exchange for a
few square inches of skin. What
priceless thing for her-and for him.
81 won't miss my crippled leg
much anyway" he told the doctors
81 might as we'll give it when it will
dc someone some good" And after
the operation he died.
And now the girl is dying, too.-l
dying from the shock of learning how
complete the sacrifice had been. She
hadn't wanted his life in exchange
for her. But the Inexplicable Power
had so decided, and the Reaper will
garner two souls instead Of one.
A life wasted? No. Far more was
at stake than the life of one girl,
precious as it may have been. Who
will presume to say how much it was
worth to the race to have such an
example set before it, to know that
one of it's members was equal to his |
opportunity, to realize the heights to
which the soul may aspire?

clan, which shot up the Carroll
County courthouse at Hillsdale,
Va, March IA, killing Judge
Massie and others, and his
nephew, Wesley Edwards, are
manacled in cells in the city Jail

Amarillo, Texas, Sept. IA
John Beal Snead, millionaire
banker and cattleman,, this af.
ternoon shot and killed Albert
G. Boyce Jr., who last winter
figured in a sensational flight

Fort Worth hotel.
Snead fired three charges from
an automatic shotgun at Boyce

were fred in quick succession,
all taking effect,
Thirty buckshot struck Boyce
in the right side. Boyce's aged

Rosenthal's Murders Caught.

New York, Sept. 14,-Harry
Horowitz, alias "Gyp the Blood"
and Louis Rosenberg, called
Lefty LOUIE" wanted for the
murder of Herman Rosenthal on
July Is, in front Of the Metra'
pole Hotel, we're arrested to-
night in a dingy little fiat at No.
755 Woodward Avenue, Brooklyn
in the Brownsville or Grotto dis
trict Of that borough, where they
had been living with their young
wives for more than a month.
They had just set up house,
opening on the installment plan,
and although they had been
sought by the police in all the
cities of the east and aboard ev-
cry outgoing steamship, they had
come and gone pretty much as
they wished for five or six weeks.
The four were sitting at tea
when Commissioner Dougherty
and his men burst open the door
of their apartment. and with re-
volvers drawn ordered them to
throw up their hands. Neither
of the men made any show of re-.
sistance.
These arrests are the most i'm
portant in the murder of the
gambler, and they are now in
prison awaiting trial.
