Mexico Missouri message. (Mexico, Audrain County, Mo.) 1899-1918, 1915-08-26

Monday afternoon the University |
Girls furnished the music.
Yutaka Minakuchi, Japanese schol- |
ar and orator, was the afternoon
speaker. He talked on the question,
Twill there be war between the U.
S. and JAPAN"
Yutaka privately says he does not
like to speak on this question be-
cause he considers it of no impor-
lance. His family and himself are
Christian as a result of Congrega-
tional missions in Japan, and likes
best to tell the story of missionaries
to his native land and what they are
doing for his land and people. He
knows that the apanese-United
States war scare is wholly the result
of yellow journalism, and that there
is absolutely nothing to talk about.
Nevertheless, he made a fine speech.
Idle speculation is to blame for the
differences fomented between the two
countries. The appearance of naval
appropriations bill in congress and
the necessity for some issue to Sc
cure it's passage is coincident with ev-
cry outbreak of anti-Japanese feel
ing. He fearlessly asserts that
1.-THE interests" are galvanizing the
jingoes to keep jingoism alive AS
has been said in local pulpits, the real
yellow peril is the yellow journal
Armament and militarism will sure
ly spell the ruin of any nation which
plays with them, saysMinakuchi, blu
the day will come when all nations
will agree to mutual disarmament
and universal peace. He paid clio
quent tribute to the United State
as sponsor of Japan's new life
Japan ives g debt of gratitude to tn
United States of which she is full
, cognizant

Senator James A. Reed condemns
the "reformers" who are working
for better elections in Kansas City
Reed says that in honest elections
Kanss City leads all cities of similar
size in the world. On the other hand
Judge w. H. Wallace, who happens
to be a brother of Rev. A. A. Wallace
of Mexico, declares that Kansas City
elections have never been exceeded
in rascality in the history of the
world; that he would suffer his right
hand to be cut OF before he would de-
fend the detestable, diabolical cleo
tions in Kansas City in recent years
So there. And we are guessing Wal
lace is nearer right.

THE CHAUTAUQUA.
Part OF The Program as Given Mon
day and Tuesday.

The ChautaUqua opened Sunday af-
ternoon. The largest crowds are in
attendance of any previous year.
The Old Home Singers introduced
the programs Sunday.
Judge Manford Schoonover of Gar
net, Kansas, was the first speaker on
this years Mexico ChautauQua pro-
gram, and in the realm of ideas and
ideals he struck key note the weeks
program may find it difficult to follow.
Judge Schoonover has long been
known in his native State as a silver
tongued orator, and Sunday after
noon he lived up to his reputation.
His lecture was along lines of charac-
teristic Chautauqua uplift, but he
handled his theme in unique man
nre. The subject of the lecture was
THE Building and Saving of Man"
Judge Schoonover does not believe
that Missouri farmers ought to yield
to the Establishments of real estate
agents if to do so means giving up
Missouri land for land anywhere else
on Gods globe. He is sure that the
future of our land is to be governed
by the citizenship of high ideals. The
fascinating career of Napoleon Bon
aparte was made to illustrte the pow
erty of a successful life ungoverned
from above by informing and inspir-
ing high ideals, and the life of Abra-
ham Lincoln yielded the rich lesson
of the eternal success of ideas and
ideals of the affairs of men.
The Judge was happy in his feeling
that the Chautauqua idea stands for
the church, the school and the home,
and it was the ambition of his lecture
to speak some word that might bring
back to these institutions some youth
or man who had drifted from the Sc
cure moorings of life.
The lecture was a fine sermon on
old fashioned religious truths, and
the lecturers personal experience in
retaining youth for business and So
ciety furnished many a telling illus.
tration. Mr.. Schoonover spoke of g
Sunday school class composed o.
"pickups" which he has taught &
number of years, and he urged thai
faith and prayer and spiritual life
hould be made central in modern liv
ing.
The Kansas Judge believes in the
University of Hard Knocks, and hi
closed his lecture eloquently with &
forceful and unique illustration O.
Jesus parable of the vine and The
branches.

Whenever you see man or woman
working remember that the work they
are doing can be reduced by the use Of
electricity. This does not mean that
the workman will be deprived of his
livelihood. History teaches US this. The
laborer will be more worthy of his hire.
He will have more time for recreation,
more time for his family and be assured
of greater safety by the application of
electricity to all form of human labor.
Electricity now does everything but
think. The sun has risen on electricity 's
age. The perfect circle of success and
achievement is thought plus action.
Electricity acts-you must think. If
you think what boon electricity has
been to struggling men and women, how
il has reduced toll and raised every
man to the sphere of an engineer com
pared with his previous destiny, how it
is solving, weary problems of life, max
ing the world brighter, more joyous and
happier place for mortals, you will
then give to electricity the thinking
powtr taoi aoien forwm tv aoin un un
power needed to set it in motion.
Ee thinkerl ThinE, then show, how
electricity can elevate human life and
you will have contributed your part to
the electrical age, which achieves its
goal when all things are done electric
ally.

LivesIey Is Buying
Lane County Hops

Four hundred and thirty bales of
hops changed hands yesterday. Frank
Heyer buying for Livesly and company
was the purchaser. Prices ranged from
12 cents per hundred to l2 3-S cents per
hundred, an advance of about three
cents.
The hops purchased were from Smeed

bales; James Hayes, AZ bales; Mrs. G.
C. Hayes, "a bales; /. j. Hayes, l07
bales; D. MeLaren, Ga bales. This is

Domestic hops haye not been moving
very freely this winter because the
eastern brewers have had supply on
hand They blame the cool weather
throughout the middle west for lack
of a demand for their prdouets.
The prices brought by the nops were
as high as any sold this year, except
some brought on previous contract
price. Heretofore the principal move
ment in hops has been on export con
tract. The foreign breweries and man

been as strong this year as in some
years it is estimated by growers that

The upperclassmen of the university
have appointed a committee to arrange

the advantage in weight and also in ex-
periencc.
