MINISTERS URGE
AID TO CHARITIES

The following was given out yes
terday for publications:
AT their Monday meeting the min
listers discussed, among other things,
the Associated Charities. Tested by
nearly two years of intelligently di-
rected beneficence this organization
has become known throughout the
CITY and needs no endorsement from
the ministers. Yet each of us who
has gone to the "Charities" in behalf
of the afflicted has found the CO.
operation of it's trained workers to
secure a more efficient handling OF
such cases than would have resulted
had he worked alone Or had he been
dependent upon unframed helpers.
With gratitude for the aid it is to
us we wish to bring this organiza-
ton again to the attention of our
citizens. We have learned that,
owing to the abnormal demands
made upon it during the past winter,
the expenses have exceeded the re-
ceipts. We therefore ask that all
who hav made pledges for this work
redeem tn an as soon as possible and
that those who have not as yet made
pledges and are BILE so to do send
checks NOW 10 Mr.. Hubert Strange,
the treasurer.
70 let collapse, for want of funds,
an organization that is so much
needed and is serving so well, would
be crime against one of our high
est social duties.

IN MEMORIAM.

Mrs. p. b. Stewart departed this
life Sept. %, and was laid to rest the
following day in Padgett's Greek Gem,
etery. She was woman of lovable
Christian character and a good neigh.
Dor, good wife and a noble mother
She loved her children so much, but
was ready and waiting for Gods bid
ding. She craved so much to go home
to rest where there's no pain nor suf-
fering. She was like a home-sick
mother yearning to go home. All the
regret she had was leaving her chill
dren and husband. She was a woman
that always loved Christian work, and
always welcomed ministers of all de-
nominations in her home, and never
closed her door on a traveller. For
nearly 35 years she was a member of
the Baptist church, joining at Mt
Lebanon and after her marriage NOV
ing sher membership to Padgett's
Creek. She was before her marriage
Miss Lou Smith.
The surviving ones are: P. B. Stew
art, husband, and Mrs. T. E. Wilburn,
Mrs. N. M. Wilburn, d. T., w. d. and
w. P. Stewart, all of Sedalia.
We loved her, o, we loved her,
But Jesus loved her more.
She has gone to be with Jesus 4"
On that bright and peaceful shore.
Tho her weary body's resting,
There beneath the cold, cold clay,
Where all main iS oo,,a forayor
And she waits the judgment day.
We miss her, o, we miss her,
Here on this lonesome path.
Her home is dark without her;
We miss her everywhere.
One Who Loved Her.

PENNSYLVANIA MINE VILLAGE
is SLOWLY SINKING

Pittsburgh, Oct. 1.-Men, women
and children during last night hur-
riedly abandoned their homes in VAL
ley Camp, a village on the Allegheny
river near here, as holes yawned in
streets, houses toppled dangerously
and gas and water mains broke.
The village was built over the
workings of what had been an i'm
portant coal mine and as the decayed
supports in the abandoned workings
gave way, the surface settled over a
considerable area. The damage be-
gan after noon and while several
streets were closed to traffic, manv
houses began to settle. In a number
OF instances porches dropped into
holes in the ground, while in others
houses were left standing on the
edge of dangerous openings. The ex,
tent of the damage will not be known
until the surface has finally settled,
which it was said by. mining men,
might be several weeks.

CORN CLUB BOYS
COMING TO FAIR
BAKER MAKES ARRANGEMENTS
FOR EXHIBITS.
No Entrance Fees-Under New Sys-
tenn Prizes Worth $68 Will Be
Distributed for Best Displays.

announcement was made by State
fair officials yestetday that the fee
of $40, which was to have been col.
lected for each entry by corn club
boys, had been cancelled This fee
was regarded as a deterrent factor in
enlisting entries from the corn clubs
and In consequence was removed, that
the youngsters from all sections OF
the State might be encouraged to
bring exhibits to the State fair.
Another inducement was offered in
the matter of enlarged premiums in
this department. Previously, pre-
mlums amounting only to $3.50 we.,.
to have been awarded. Under the
new arrangement, prizes amounting to
$68 will be paid, and no entrance fees
Will be collected. Immediately upon
the decision, l.. l.. Baker, supervising
agent of the boys club work in this
State, dispatched circulars to all corn
club members throughout the State
urging attendance upon the State fair
and explaining the schedule of pre-
miums to be paid.
In class A prizes, $40 will be dis,
trlbuted. These are for the greatest
yield per acre, combined with the best
written report of production, the best
profit paying investment and the best
ten ears from the crop. The first
prize in this class is for SIS; the sec
ond $40 and third SIS.
Where the entry consists only of the
ten-ear exhibit, without HISTORY OF
crop or estimated cost of production,
prizes amounting to $23 will be paid
The three premiums in this class are
$40, So and So respectively.
For the single ear exhibits, prizes
to the value of SIS will be paid. These
are 81, SIS and So. Mr.. Baker en-
phasizes that these prizes are sepa-
rate and distinct from all other county
and State prizes offered, and are in
tended only to substitute for the
premium list originally adopted by
the State fair
Mr.. Baker believes that he will
have as many as 100 exhibits. The
corn club boys will also be a promi-
nent factor in the harvest Jubilee pa,
rade. These will be dressed in farm
life regalia, the outfit designated be-
ing overalls and broad brimmed nal.
metto hat. Each boy will bear as
season idea. Each boy will bear as
staff huge stalk of corn, a fitting
emblem of the Sacred order of corn
club boys"

SMALLEST COTTON CROP
IN THE PAST SIX YEARS.
Heavy Decline in Condition Indicates
That This Years Production Will
Not Run Over 11,OOO,O 900.

Washington, Oct. A heavy de-
cline in the condition of the growing
cotton crop, almost double the aver
age decline of the last 10 years, dur
ing September, has decreased the pro-
ductlon prospects forecast earlier in
the season by almost 100000 bales.
The department of agriculture today
estimated the crop at 10,95O,OO equiv
alent 5O0-pound bales, which would
be the smallest crop since 1909.
In announcing the condition report
and production estimate, the crop re-
porting board made this statement:
The cotton crop condition declined
"a points during the month, August
70 to September 25, which compared
with an average decline in the same
period in the past 10 years of As
points. The estimated condition of
COS per cent of normal on September
20 forecasts yield per acre of about
168 pounds and a total production
(allowing reduction of 1 per cent
from planted area for abandonment)
of about 10,950,00O bales. Lastyear's
production totaled 16, 1876, 900 bales and
the 1913 crop 14,156,OOO. A crop less
than 100000 bales would be small
er than any crop since 1909.
The unusual deterioration ha,
been due principally to the extremes
of weather conditions; periods of ex-
cessive rainfall, cold weather and
drought having characterized the sea-
son in most of the cotton belt. Lack
of fertilizer and poor quality of that
used has been an unfavorable factor
In the eastern portion of the belt.
There is little promise of top crop
except in the northern portions of the
belt, due to the climatic conditions
and the unusual activity of the bon
weevll; and where top crop is setting
In In the northern portions of the belt
the latest report of the crop there
makes realization dependent upon fu-
ture favorable weather and late frost.
The month, much of it warm and
dry, has been generally favorable to
picking and much larger percentages
OF the crop is ginned to this date than
the usual year. In much of the SOUTH
ern portion of the belt ginning is far
advanced and in some sections there
picging is practically completed"
The condition of the crop on Sen
tember 25 was 6O.8 per cent of a
normal, compared with 69.2 per cent
on August 25, 1875 per cent last wear.
64.1 per cent in 1912, and 6s.3 per

CHASING THE RAINBOW.

l remember when was boy
How often l was told
That at the very rainbow's end
I'd find pot of gold.
L remember how it seemed to me,
Just where the sun would set
Way down in Happy Hollow
seem to see it yet
And when I'd start to find the gold
Just at the setting sun
found that where it seemed to be
Twas a little farther on.
And so 1 chased the rainbow's end
Through the fields of Happy Hollow,
But when I'd try to grasp the gold
1t beckoned me to follow
| chased it on along the road,
And then along the river;
chased it on beyond the brook
That still flows on forever.
I've chased that rainbow far and
wide
I'm chasing it today
I've chased it every day in life
Until my hair is gray.
I've chased it oft throughout the
world
I've been throughout this land,
But then the gold that 1 have found
Is like the drifting sand.
And yet the rainbow of today
Stands for promise true;
1t is promise unto me
And promise unto you.
1t beams to me and it beams to you
From out it's pristine glory,
And as the days go fitting by
1t tells the same old story.
1t tells us why God sent to earth
Just forty days of rain,
And while the world was then de-
stroyed
1t ne'er shall be again.
And from that story have learned
Though as fable it was told,
Beyond the rainbow in the sky
The streets are paved with gold.
Then dry your eyes, my brothers,
And wipe away your tears,
For where there's hope for you and
me
1t drives away our fears.
And yet love that rainbow
The rainbow of the sky
For the God who made the rainbow
Still rules and reigns on high.
My mother who was with me then
Now sleeps beneath the sod,
But while her flesh has turned to dust
Her spirit dwells with God.
And when leave this world behind
And join the Masters fold,
know beyond the rainbow
I'll find that pot of gold.
