BUY 4 MISSOURI BALE

To the citizens Of Missouri:
A nationwide movement has been
inauguratcd to handle the surplus cot
ton crop Of the South which has for
its slogan, "Buy-u-Balc."
The purpose of this letter is to re-
mind Missourians that within the con-
fines Of our own state and within the
siX counties comprising this match
less territory called Southeast Mis-
souri, to-wit: Duknlin. Pcmscot,
New Madrid, Stoddard, Butler and
Ripley, there is growing today and
ready to be marketed a crop of Co.
600 bales, OF this amount Dunklm
county alone produces more than so
per cent, or more than the states of
Kentucky and Virginia combined, and
1t is grown and gathered by Missouri
white labor exclusively.
1t is well that we further call atten-
tion to the record of Dunklin county
cotton which not only holds the
worlds record for acre production,
but was awarded a premium at the
Omaha, Portland and Buffalo expo
s,tions and at the great Worlds fair
at st. Louis.
No county in Missouri is able to
hold $4,000 bales Of cotton under the
present disturbed conditions, and this
is conservative estimate Of the 1914
crop in DunkIin county, notwithstand-
ing the drouth.
To St. LouisanS especially we de-
sire to say that we appreciate the at
/ titudc of the Business mems League
and other organizations toward the
/ cotton section Mt this critical time,
but it occurs to us. however, that st.
Louis does not fully appreciate the
fact that Southeast Missouri is one OF
the greatest cotton territories in the
United States, that the people who
live here and grow this staple spend
every dollar at home and that event
ually through our merchants it reach
es the wholesale dealer in the city of
St Louis, where Dunklin county buys
annually more than S3,000,O0O worth
of merchandise. Not only this, but
every bank in Southeast Missouri, in
whose care is entrusted the savings
of our people, has its principal cor
respondent in the city of st. Louis.
1t occurs to US that st. Louisans
and all Missourians should help their
Missouri neighbors first.
The slogan, Bale" is good,
) but "Buy-a- Missouri Bale" is better.
Especially should ST. Louis be as loyal
TO us as we have been to her.
There are within this great state
three and one half millions of good
people whose patriotism and loyalty
to their fellow man is unfailing. We
urge every loyal Missourian who loves
his state and its resources to come to
the relief of the cotton section of our
state and buy a five hundred pound
bale at l0c per ID, and that you should
hold the same for II months or un-
til such time as the market price will
be 10c or better. We are not offer
ing you n gold brick, but bale of
cotton worth the $4,000 and more il
I you hold it.
We call upon every commercial club
> and newspaper within this state to
= give this appeal publicity and help
and that they send in to the Kennett
Commercial Club the names of those
,. who will "Buy-a-M -Missouri-Bale

SUNDAY SCHOOL
CONFERENCE ENDS
DR.. Vance Delivers Strong Ad-
dress at Closing Service in
Grace Street Church.

With a strong address by Rev. James
J.. Vance, D. D.. of Nashville, Tenn, the
closing service OF the Sunday School
Workers Conference was held last
night in the Grace Street Presbyterian
Church
pr. Vance. who is widely known as a
pulpit orator, was heard by large
audience, composed of many denomina-
tons. His subject was "Is 1t Worth
While for q Young Man to Be Reli-
gious?" 1t proved not only interest
ing. but unusually enlightening, espe-
cially on the point that the youth OF
to-day is not as close to the church &s
in former years. While admitting this
to be true, DIR. Vance added that it Is
false argument to say that this Is a
scientific age; that the young man has
a mind. and TO let him take care OF
himself.
The last session yesterday afternoon
was opened by Rev. IL. j. Williams
Addresses were made by Mrs. j. Calvin
Stewart, Eugene Massie Il. w. Davis,
S. +. Love and II. w. Miles. Jr.
The round table conference was con-
dueted by Rev, w. l.. Lingle.
The exemplification of n song SER.
vice was given by the Young Peoples
Society of the Hoge Memorial Church
The conference Is believed to have
been of great benefit TO the large num-
Der OF Sunday school and church work
ers who have been in attendance upon
the sessions. and 1t is expected that the
Sunday schools of Richmond will take
on a new life as a result.

The funeral OF Police Captain Will
liam A. Barfoot, who died early yes
terday morning at st. Eiizabeth's Hos
pital, will take place tomorrow after
noon at o'clock from the Pine Street
Baptist Church. Interment will be
made in Rivervicw Cemetery.
The death OF Captain Barfoot, who
was sixty-one years old, was not a sur
prise, for 1t was said that no was in
q dying condition when he was re-
moved to the hospital from his home,
6l4 South Pine Street, several days
ago. He had been In poor health for
several years. but only a few weeks
ago was he forced to give up active
duty. His death was due to cancer of
the stomach
AZ the time of his death Captain
Barfoot was In charge Of the First
District, and not only the members Of
his own command, but the entire
force admired and respected him. a
scheduled meeting of the Board of
Police Commissioners last night was
postponed In Difference to him. and the
front of the First Station, Broad and
Eighteenth Streets, was draped in
black. He was held in high regard by
his superior officers. and was we'll
known as n disciplinarian, but this
never lessened his popularity.
Captain Barfoot was elected n mem
Der of the Police Department on July
4. 1885. By his devotion to duty and
hard work, he won his promotion. In
1902 he was elevated to a sergeantcy,
and on January !, 1902 was made cap
tain.
He was born in Richmond in 1863.
IN his early life he won considera BILE
prominence as n baseball pitcher, and
played in several clubs of the Virginia
League. In his youth he was employed
In powder mill. and was terribly
injured in an explosion. For a long
while his life hung In the balance. He
always referred to his escape from
death as miraculous, as several fell
low workmcn were instantly killed.
Besides his wife. who was Miss
Emma Farmer, of Richmond, he leaves
three daughters. Mrs ]. c. Page. Mrs.
w. A. Powell and Mrs. l. r. Latham.
