it seemed too big a name for such
a little boy. Robbie suited him
ever SO much better.
One day when he was about two
years old his father brought home

A Record in Wheat in X. c.

Railroads brought into Kansas City
about million bushels of wheat
Monday the last receipts on record
for July.
There were 1872 carloads on twelve
railroads. The Missouri Pacific
brought 220 cars, the Union Pacific
1874 cars, the Burlington 96 cars, the
Rock Island 81 cars, the Grand Island
81 cars, the Frisco SO cars, the M. K.
& T. 20 cars, and three smaller roads
brought 6 cars. Big receipts were
made up largely of wheat that had
been bought to arrive and most of it
has already been sold, chiefly for ex-
port.
Samplers of the board of trade in
spection bureau and the Missouri
and Kansas inspection bureaus were
busy getting little bags of wheat from
each car as they stood in the freight
yards, and as soon as grades are re-
ported and instructions can be given
the wheat will be switched to the
various elevators, weighed and load
ed out again and forwarded to the
seaboard for export.
Several thousand cars of wheat
have already moved out Of Kansas
and Oklahoma to Galveston and New
Orleans to be loaded on vessels there.

one of the most imposingand choicest
sites on the exposition grounds. The
site is 2OOx4OO feet and fronts on San
Francisco Bay. The building will be
64xl2O feet. 1t will contain recep-
ton ball 4Ox8O feet which will jointly

ments, etc. AT one end of the build
ing will be moving picture apparat-
us. This will be used to show the
resources and scenes of Missouri.

souri, Commission of this early date
means that Missouri will have one of
the finest state buildings on the

ducts, advancement in literature and

more amply displayed than those of
any other state in the Union.
The exterior of the Missouri build
ing will be attractive in the extreme

run around the entire inside struct-
ure. The second floor will be fitted
with apartments. Ample rest rooms
will be provided. The building itself
will cost about $50, 600 and will be a
thing of pride to all Missourians who
visit the Exposition.
Governor Major and the members
of the Commission are especially de-
sirous that the things in which the
state surpasses all other common
wealths be amply portrayed in its ex-
hibits. In this connection it is cited
that Missouri produces more cotton
than Virginia; more corn than Kan
sas; has the largest lead and zinc pro-
ducton of the world; largest raw fur
market in the world; has the largest
poultry industry; has one county in i
southeast portion of the state that
grows more cotton to the acre than
anywhere else on earth; has the larg-
est nurseries in the world; more
mules than any other state in the
Union, and that it surpasses in many
other things of which its citizens are
proud. National Elks Horn.

Play Ground Association

Tuesday evening the Liberal
Play Ground association met at the
home of Mrs. Robt. Hall, the
president. The officers of the as
ISOLATION besides Mrs. Hall are.
secretary, Mrs. Harry McGreud-
er and Miss Kate wright, secre-
tary.
The object of the association is
to interest mothers and relatives
of children in better and more
healthful plays which necessitates
first a place to play. The reason
that better play grounds are
needed is that rightly directed
play will develop better and more
moral children. 1t has been
known for a long time that the
child who has wholesome and
correct plays is more likely to
make the best man or woman.
But it has also been found out
that the child raised at home
meets and has to know the child
not raised in clean moral ways.
Hence the common play ground
which in most cases is the school
grounds, is receiving attention.
At the meeting last Tuesday
evening plans and ways were dis
cussed to make the school grounds
more attractive. to have closer
supervision of the play grounds
and also the need of an organi-
cation in this city. Nearly every
place of. any size has the organ
ization and they are doing good,
The idea is to establish the
swings, teeter boards. volley ball,
and out door amusements which
the boys and girls will enjoy.
Besides this there is wholesome
play time work. The theory is,
that play or work which is open
and freely observed will not pro-
duce such evil results as the play
or busy work which is held in
IN old barn or outbuilding. The
mothers and educators have found
that play scientifically directed
produces good and that the child
enjoys the play just as much.
Comittees were appointed to
see about planting the school
grounds to trees and the member
