ANOTHER EDISON MIRACLE
The Talking Picture a Real
ity.

The fiery name Talking Pie
ture" suggests the impossible.
How can pictures talk? Who
would ever conceive the idea of
making them talk but the great
inventor Edison2 That is what
the Wizard has succeeded in do
ing. The latest product Of his
genius will be exhibited at
Wright's Grand Theatre Tues
day, Nov. 18th At that time
tie people of Lexington will
have the first time of witnessing
the greatest vaudeville attraction
Cf the year. In the leading
vaudeville houses of the great
cities, Edison Talking Pictures
have mystified and delighted
thousands and thousands. In Eng
land the fame Of the Talking Pic
tnres spread so rapidly that the
King and Queen broke ONE of the
rigid traditions Of the royal
fimily and attended a private
performance of the Talking Pie
lures before they had been ex-
.h.bited to the British public.
We had ceased to marvel at
the Moving Picture and had
come to regard it among the
commonplace entertainments, but
the hand Of the genius has trans
formed the silent picture to a
living thing in which every
person has received the breath Of
life. The mysterious wall Of
silence is broken down and the
characters speak in their own
voices. They are living beings.
Not content simply to show his
wonderful inventive genius by
devising a series Of tricks, Ed
son has prepared a large number
of scenes of Grand Opera, Comic
Opera, Minstrel Shows, Dramatic
and Comic playlets and Others
which add greatly to the interest
and enjoyment of the perfor-
nance.
If you are one of those who
think that the day of thrills is
past and that the inventor can NJ
longer produce anything thai
Twill cause you to marvel, see the
.,Edison Talking Pictures. Moth
ling so novel and mystifying ha'
lbeen Offered the public sine
the invention of the first moving
picture.

Cheap Rations for Dairy Cows.

Shedp RdIlOuS lOI Larry SVWs'
This will be a hard winter for
the dairy farmers of Missouri
The price Of feed is unusually
high, and the price Of butter fat
i, low. The average daily pro
duction of the cows is low as a
result of short pasture during the
sumner. The best Missouri
.dairyman can hope to do is to
pay the feed bill and bring his
cows through the winter in good
condition.
From knowledge gained on a
recent trip through the principal
dairy sections of the State the
following feeding suggestions are
offered by the Dairy Department
of the Missouri College of Agri-
culture.
Many farmers have corn silage,
timothy hay and wheat, but are
short on corn. With wheat
cheaper than corn pound for
Iound wheat is the more econo-
mical feed. 1t has about the
same feeding value as corn. With
the above feeds cotton seed meal
S the only feed that need be
bought. The wheat and cotton
seed meal should be mixed in
the same proportions as corn
and cottonseed meal; 3 parts
chopped wheat to one part cot
tonseed meal. A COW giving
two gallons of milk a day should
receive daily about 80 pounds Oh
silage, all the hay she will eat
and about So pounds of the
Grain mixture. The grain in
this case is fed at the rate of one
pound for each 3 pounds of milk
the COW produces. If cowpea
or clover hay is available and
there is 40 silage, the hay will
take the place of the silage- A
COW viii eat between Is and q
pounds of good hay each day.
If corn fodder and timothy
or cane hay is the only roughagt
available the COWS should receive
all they will eat and the grain
in this case should be fed ]
,round for about every 2 pounds
Of milk the COW produces dali,
These two rations meet tn.
conditions on the majority OF tn
dairy farms in southern Missouri
There are some communities, HOY
ever, where more and bette
feed is available. The Dair.
Department of the Missouri Col
lege Of Agriculture will help fig
lure out balanced rations for an.
one asking for Information. In
cuirers should give the kinds an.
prices of feeds available whel
writing for this information.

life. It is man seeking to come
INTO touch with God; though he
nay not know the goal for
which he strives, for it is the
stirring of that fundamental
principle Of human nature that
the human cannot come into
completeness until it finds itself
in the Divine. Men often shrink
from these upheavals, for they
mean the breaking of many time
honored customs, but the shock
awakens them to a quickened ac-

The AItruism Of Revolutions.


tore the State Conference of the
Daughters Of The American Rev
olution.
In the brief space allotted for
this address, ! shall not attempt
10 go into the philosophy Of the
revolutions Of the past, but sim
ply to set forth some fundamen-
tai truths that lie at the base of.
an progress.
Revolutions are those upheav-
ais in society' that bring about
changes in the existing order Of
things. These changes may
te brought about by the subtle
processes Of education, by legis-
lative measures, or by the more
violent method of military con
flict.
We have illustrations Of the
last method in the English Rev
olution by which James H., was
dethroned and driven from Eng
land, a purer constitutional gov
eminent secured through the aid
a. William OF Orange, who land
ed with an Anglo-D Dutch army in
1858, and in 1859 he and Mary
We're proclaimed constitutional.
s~overeigns and Parliament pass
ed the Bill Of Rights. The
French Revolution brought about
the downfall Of the old absolute
monarchy, the establishment of
the Republic, and the abolition Of
many abuses. The American
Revolution has its history and
significance ensArmed in the
heart Of every true American,
and this organization, under
whose auspices we meet, fosters
the spirit Of true patriotism
and patriotism is altruism.
The volunteers in the time of
national peril are not the tramps
who have no settled habitations,
but the fathers and sons whose
homes are imperilled. A man
will die for his home, but you
never heard of a man who was
willing to die for his boarding
house.
Buried in the heart of every
man and woman are found those
clements that make possible the
progress of the race. The fun
damental principle of all progress
z is revolutionary, which reveals
itself in different forms. Mill
tary conflicts, educational enter
prises, philanthropic movements
legislative enactments and
ministries to the dependent class
es. are processes Of revolution
behind which is the altruistit
spirit, which is the spirit Of pro.
gress. Every public enterprise
that brings men together for th'
common good is altruistic.
Those who give themselves t
