A Noted Writer

The Ozark country of Missouri
| is well represented out in the
larger world. In literature and
art, in science, business and the
professions, the sons and daugh-
ters of the wooded hills of South
Missouri have proven themselves
the eqnal of any. Among the
number who are thus making
good, we are glad to mention one
in this issue of the Mirror.
Our readers will be pleased to
learn of the successful newspa.
per career of Rose Wilder Lane,
daughter of A J.Wilder and wife.
of near Mansfield. She was a,
former student of the Mansfield
public school and the family is
we'll known by our people AS a
member of the staff of the San
Francisco Bulletin, one of the
leading papers of the California
metropolis, she has won an envi.
able reputation as a remarkably
brilliant and forceful writer. A
recent issue of the Bulletin an
nounces her new serial story,
A Jitney Romance" which, it
is stated, is story that is differ
snt, and one that holds your in
terest unfalteringly.
Mrs. Lane is considered one of
the most brilliant writer's on the
staff of the paper on which she is
employed. Besides being a writ
er of special articles, she has
written several popular serial
stories, one of which, 1.-THE Story
of Art Smith," reached sale of
1000 copies during the first
week it was offered for sale in
book form.
Her first new spaper work was
as reporter on the Kansas City
Post q few years ago. After a
short connection with this paper
she dropped out of literary work
-as her time was taken up with
other interests-until a few
months ago, when she became
one Of the staff of Bulletin writ
|ers.
Although not born in the hills,
she has always considered the
Ozarks as her native place, as
came to Mansfield when only Z
years old. The fact that she re-
ceived her education in the Mans
field schools is to their credit in
that she was able to take her
place on the staff of metropolis
tan daily and make so fine rec.
ord there.
AS this is only the beginning
of her literary lreer, we expect
to hear from Rose Wilder Lane
in the future.
In some places. the people of
the Ozark hills are considered q
fair butt for ridicule, while it is q
fact here, as elsewhere, that it
takes all kinds of people to make
a world, and that the people who
go out from here can and do hold
their own in competition with all
of the rest of the world.
