ARRANGE FOR NEXT YEARS
CHAUTAUQUA AT ONCE

CHAUTAUQUA Al OfNSH'
IT is impossible to have Chau-
tauoua that will be satisfactory to
everybody. The writer has had con
siderable experience in bringing
Chautauquas to Mexico during the
last ten or fifteen years and an inde-
nendent Chautauqua with selected
talent is out of the question Inc
only Chautauqua we have ever had
that gave first-class programs ana
protected the underwriters is the
Redpath-vawter System. The pro
gram seems to give splendid satis-
faction and patrons generally are IN
favor of the same organization next
wear. This being the case you
should see Circuit Clerk Elliott i'm
mediately and assist in underwriting
the nroposition. 1t can't cost you
more than $500 and in all probabil-
!
itv will not cost you anything as the
Kings Daughters will have charge
of the sale of the tickets again.
You can't get any kind of Chau
tauqua without local organizatiof
to some extent underwriting the pro
nosition to insure an active interes'
being taken in the matter Those wn' a
are opposed to this plan and reall!
want an entertainment of this kin'
should make some practical sugges
tions. We know of no arrangement
better than the one we have. o
course, those who do not want an
Chautauqua at all will not be inter
ested in the matter one way or an
othpr

FORMER MEICO BOY WRITES
OF EUROPEAN WAR

Norman Angel, the great advo-
cate of Universal Peace, took Alfred
Pittman, of the Kansas City Star, a
former Mexico boy, to London for
four months study of Peace. Scarce
ly six weeks after his arrival abroad,
he finds himself writing his paper
about war, although it is greatly to
his credit that there is hidden
Peace appeal in the articles.
Mr.. Pittman's first article, entitled
"How the War News Came to st.
Margarets," is well written and full
of interest. st. Margarets is an En-
glish village where the people retire
at $50, where no trains disturb its
quiet beauty by the sea and where
everything is sweet and clean.
The article is little study of how
the news of war affected the differen
citizens of this quiet spot in Englant
and is we'll worth reading. Mr.. Pitt
man is offered great opportunity h
write himself into fame and his Mex
leo friends wish him much success,

IN INTERVIEW AT JEFFERSON
CITY. UNITED STATES sENA-
TOR SAYS HIS WIFE sILENC-
ED HIS OPPOSITION TO E.
DUAL RIGHTS
Got on the Water Wagon at the adj
vice Of his physician-Says he neg
er expects to take another drink
of liquor.

In jefferson City, this week, SEN
ator William ]. Stone made two dec
larations of personal nature to
newspaper reporter. They are:
That he has been on the water
wagon for more than year, and
that he never expects to take anoth-
er drink of Intoxicating liquor.
That his opposition to woman suf-
frage has been silenced by Mrs.
Stone, who is an ardent suffragist.
Senator Stone said that he mount
ed the water wagon on the advice of
his physician, and also that the limit
of his personal indulgences is three
cigars day.
"On this woman suffrage PROPOSE
ton, which is to be voted upon by the
people of Missouri this fall" Sena-
tor Stone said, 81 have an inter-
esting experience to relate.
"Last winter l was reading to my
wife the story of the hike of the mill
itant suffragists from New York to
Washington. Small boys, it appears
had been pelting the suffragists
with snowballs as they tramped on
to Washington.
"Mrs. Stone remarked that she
thought such methods Of campaign
were ridiculous. | asked her if she
did not think the whole suffrage
proposition was ridiculous. These mil
itants in England and New York had
given me a sort of bad impression Of
the whole suffrage movement.
"I do not my wife replied. 4 be
lieve in woman suffrage. ] am a suf
fragist.'
81 was never more astonished il
my life.
"'Well, my DEAR | said, you Ger
tainly have put one over on me. How
long have you been suffragist?"
"She replied that she had been I
suffragist for a long time, and sh
made such an effective argument il
favor of suffrage that my opposi
ton has been entirely silenced."

ALLEGES HIS WIFE is EXTRAv-
AGANT, THAT SHE WON'T
LIVE IN MISSOURI AND SHE
WILL TEACH CHILD TO HATE
AMERICAN FLAG

Canadians and Social Leader in

route to Europe.

DR.. Carl NJ. Sneed Of Columbia,
Monday filed suit for divorce against
his wife, Kathryn R. Sneed, whom
he married at Montreal, Canada, on
April 20, 1910.

she would not live in Missouri and
that she told him that she would
teach her child to hate the American

DR.. Sneed is an Audrain county
boy and at one time had an office

SCOFFERS at religion seem to
have hatred for preachers, church
es and church members. The funny
thing about scoffer is, that when
he comes to die he ''hollers' for a
preacher so you can hear him a
mile. II the preacher does not get
there in time he is expected at the
funeral to save the face Of the fam
lily by saying what fine Christian
gentleman the decesaed was in secret
and that he did not parade his reli'
gion and all that line Of bushwa. II
the last analysis, we believe thai
the weakest church member who
falls every time he is tempted will
have better show on the Day OF
Judgment than the scoffer.
