EVEN IN MISSOURI

Missouri really is a Melting Pot
In the scvcn-ycar period, 1906 TO 1912,
93,0J9 immigrants entered the sea-
ports Of the United States with Mis-
souri, as their destination. The larg-
est number for any one year was in
1907 when almost twenty thousand
foreigners came 10 our state. The
Iberic and Slayonic races outnumbered
the TeutOnic and Celtic.
Of the 9.S52 aliens who came to
America in 1872, with Missouri as their
destination. $3.50 were Immigrants and
only S12 were Of a higher grade. The
Germans led in number with the Jews
second and the Greeks third.
II is the occupation OF these immi-
grants which throws the most light
on how useful they will prove to-
ward developing this state. There
were - farmers. l,S92 farm hands
2.0o5 laborers and 1.1S6 with a trade
as their vocation. The rest were
skilled workmen OF some kind.
This seems a large number OF i'm
migrants for an inland state. Many
Of them. however. will make good cit
izens with the right kind OF treatment
and education. Since these people
are here. and many more surely will
come, 1t is the duty Of everyone to helI
Americanize them.

ALL SAINTS
DAY At THE
CEMETERY
fEt XA II

All Saints was beautiful day aud
the flower gardens were abloorl With
flowers, the pretty chrysanthemum
pushing out from the BANKS Of lovli-
ness and holding its head to the sun
light to be admired. 1t was day
en- which even the sick could enjoy
the fresh air outside the e,pseai
doors that shut them in sinee The
rseept cold snap.
But Of al the Pleasant sights on
this day the most pleasing was the
gQyingten Cemetery. Under the
charge of the cemetery committee Of
the Women's Progressive Union, it
has been transformed from jungle
Of underground to a neat and pleas
ing appearance and every grave bera
its token OF remem branee in deft!y
arranged flowers, While some were
banked with them. Huge bouquets
OF chrysanthemums were In sight in
all d rcctions aud the cemetery pre-
sented the appearance of garden of
flowers being harvested.
OF the cemetery committee prob
ably none have devoted as much time
to the work Of improvement or work
ed so hard as Mrs. j. C. Burns and
Mrs. Preston Burns. These two
ladies have raked and hoed with blis-
tered hands. tugged at rank growths
Of vines and moved trash piles, play
ed overseer and workman all in one
for days and days. They must
have been rewarded by the beauti-
full sight of the cemetery on All
Saints Day. There are others who
have worked-but these have never
ceased to work and plan to improve
this much neglected place, and de-
serve the thanks of all for the man
ner in which they have entered into
the duty imposed upon them as q
committee of the Women's Prosfes-
sive Union.
Other members Of the committee
who have worked hard fer the Inn
provement 81 sks esmetsry and have
xaven their personal time and actual
labor on the grounds are, Mrs. D. I.
Addison, Mrs. J. B. Wortham and
Miss Carrie Frederick.

that the owner about to contract 8

surety on the bond for the ,faithful
performance OF the contract and the

surety must be solvent. not only at
the time the bond was given, but
that he must also be solvent at the
time the building Is completed.
Meyer contracted with Joseph Bis
chow to build two houses for him,
and BischoM gave Elias Pallet as his
surety on hif bond for the faithful
completion o9 the contract and the
payment of the claims for labor and
material. When the buildings were
completed B,schow collected the
money, and left for Europe without
first paying his bills. The laborers
and the furniShers Of materials then
filed liens agsinst the buildings for
the amount oftheir claims, and ask

LONG DISTANCE
SWIMMING FEAT
MEMBER OF LiFE.sAVlNG STATION
sWIMs % MILES FROM BAT
Terry TO SANDY HOOK.

New York, Aug 29.--After many un-
successful attempts by long-distance
swimmers for years past to swim the
twenty-five miles from Battery to San
dy Hook, Captain Alfred Brown, of the
Flushing Bay life-saving station corps,
accomplished the feat Thursday. Div
ing off the Battery wall at Sis o'clock
in the morning he landed at the Sandy
Hook proving grounds at $3.50 pm,
having been in the water thirteen
hours and thirty-eight minutes.
Captain Brown was accompanied by
four men in a launch and a rowboat.
He had to be assisted up the shopping
beach when he landed, but after walk
ing about a short time he limbered up
and declared he felt no bad effects
from his long immersion.
During his long swim he ate three
small sandwiches and drank a small
quantity Of tea. Part of the swim was
against a strong flood tide and fresh
southerly wind.
Many swimming authorities have de
clared the feat never could be accom-
plished because of tidal conditions
Numerous swimmers have reached 6
point within a few hundred yards o.
the beach and had to give up, owing tC
the power of the inrushing tide which
met them.
