VOTE ON THE AMENDMENTS.

~
FIFTEEN propositions will be vot-
ed on as Constitutional Amendments
at the November election. Do not vote
against all of them simply because
you do not understand some of them.
Those you do not understand or are
in doubt about, mark off both yes and
no. Those you do understand and want
to vote on, mark off the No and vote
Yes. Do not throw the ballot away
and lose your vote on the two or
three amendments you are anxious to
carry simply because you are not in
terested in some of them. Mark off
those you do not care to vote on and
vote on those you are interested in.
Politicians are expressing the opin.
ion that all the amendments will be
defeated because the voters will vote
mo" clear down the line because they
are opposed to some two or three Of
the amendments. This Is not at al
necessary. OF course, the liquor in
terests loaded the ballot with two o
three propositions that ought to b.
voted down simply to get everybod,
to vote No. Take a little interest i
the proposition and fool this bunc
once. It can be done, If you will jus
take a little trouble.

A Pertinent Question.

The question has been asked, "1n
what way are Chamberlain's Tablets
superior to pills?" The answer is,
"They are more mild and gentle in
effect and more reliable. Besides,
they improve the appetite, cleanse
and invigorate the stomach, correct
disorders of the liver and leave the
bowels in a natural and healthy con-

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES
By W. Clyde johnson,
County School Supt.

The first few days of the past week
were spent in making to the clerks Of
the 80 different school boards Of the
county the report of my visitation to
their schools. l hope that they will
notice these reports closely, and then
use all the means they have at hands
to furnish all needed equipment, and
that they will make sure that the
school home is cheerful, sanitary and
comfortable for their children. The
conditions hat exist in some commune
ties are really a disgrace to a civil
lied community. The filth and the
stencil of the outbuildings is unendur-
able. Or they are open to the world.
No privacy. Or the school house
has black, dirty walls-the result of
years of neglect, criminal neglect. Is
yours one Of these?
Two or three weeks after school
began, a man jumped me because l
had held the schools back two or

The Round Up Week committee is
trying to arrange for the Hardin
Pageant dances to be reproduced up
town Round Up Week for the enter
tainment Of visitors. The idea is to
use the west lawn of the Court
House for the stage, having seats
for the audience in the street. There
will be no admission if the perform
ance is given. This was enc of the
most attractive features of the per-
Torrance.
The audience, Thursday evening,
to witness the closing performance
of the Pageant was immense, almost
1000 people crowding the enclosure.
While the Afternoon was a success
the evening one might be termed q
triumph as the lighting was supert
and showed the many beautiful cos
tunes to decided advantage.
1t would be useless to attempt an!
detailed notice of the evening. Suf
flee to say from the authors to tn
smallest dancer, from the first bugl
call to the singing of the "Star-Spanl
led Banner" no entertainment eve
given in the interior of Missouri eve
, approached it in any detail.
The performance went without
J hitch and every member of the ca;
achieved personal success. To thos
who were the power behind tn
scene, too much credit cannot
given. The Ledger joins the Peep
of Audrain County in extending col
y gratulations to those who made Il
Pageant for its success and their u
= firing work in behalf Of a great

Jewish extraction his features give
him out to be rather one of the Mex.
leans with whom he associated sc
long, than what he really is. Born In
Waverly, Iowa, he was broncho buster
for many years and rode the range
when that was an accomplishment
that tried the mettle of which men
were made. He joined the Sunday
party in 1905. With all his life in
the West he is a graduate of the
Moody Bible Institute, the author of
pamphlet on Rescue the Perish
ing" and is an adept at Bible quota
ton. He can cite at will 1,400 verses
from the Scripture. The conversion
of Seibert dates back to 1895, when
leaving a gaming table to go home in
disgust he passed church and was
drawn by the music he heard to enter
and participate in . revival then in

meeting and at once took up work
among the ranchmen and cowboys

and the organizing of Bible classes, in

The trite adage mighty oaks from
little acorns grow" has no better e1-
emplif1cation than In the history of the
w. A. Sunday campaigns. The mon
ster movements swaying thousands
and interesting in some instances
close to a million people in q single
city are the outgrowth Of compare
lively tiny meetings whose history IL
lost in the shadowy recollections OF
memories a quarter century old.
This, for no better reason, than at
the time they were not considered
important and the careful records
which the press OF the country has
compiled in the day Of the big cam
paigns. were not made.
A detailed enumeration Of even the
more important campaigns must lack
variety and possibly that element Of
spectacular interest which attaches TO
. majority Of the activities Of the
evangelist No work that purports to
be biographical survey OF his life.
however, would be complete without
such an enumeration. Unfortunately
such of the records az exists are In
many instances conflicting or lack
ing in definite authority. In that
which follows careful effort has been
made to sift facts from fancies and SO
Tar as possible to give the best avail
able information even where it has
not been possible to verify statements
made.
The commonly accepted list Of cam
paigns together with the reported
number of conversions as this has
gone the rounds of the press is given
below. 1t should be definitely under
stood that this is an unofficial list and
that diligent efforts to verify a num-
Der of the statements and figures have
been without success.
