Farmers Week is Crowded Full

farmers Week at the University of
Missouri at Columbia, January Ills,
1915, promises to be ''bigger and bet
ter than ever" From the very first
nights program, when DIR. HI. J. Wat
ers, president of the Kansas State
Agriculture at Columbia, will give an
illustrated lecture on world agrlcul-
ture, the week promises to be as in
~teresting as instructive.
The evening programs throughout
the week will be held in the Univer-
sity auditorium under the auspices of
the State Board of Agriculture. Noted
speakers will be in Columbia for these
meetings.
During the day the short courses
for everyone, and the special short
courses for women, and also for boys
and girls, will be conducted by the
faculty of the College of Agriculture.
These short courses will begin at $3.50
o'clock and close at 1880 o'clock.
From six to ten lectures or demon
strations will be given each hour, so
so that it will be impossible for any
n to hear or see all. Each person
will chose the course they would
rather take, the mes they are vitality
interested in. Every subject of in
terest to the farmer, his wife, and his
boy and girl, will be covered in these
short courses.
During the afternoons, fifteen of
the twenty state organizations con-
nected with agriculture, will hold their
annual corn show at Columbia during
the week, and has offered a large
number of valuable premiums. There
will also be judging contests, both
corn and stock, for both boys and
girls under the auspices of the Boys
and Girls clubs of the state. The state
clubs will have an exhibit at Columbia
during the week.
The browning event of the week
will be the big banquet given by the
University Of Missouri to the visiting
farmers Friday night, January Is, at
the close Of the week. One of the
prize steers will be killed for this big
feast, and everything served will be
from the agricultural college farm.
Last year there were more than
$500 farmers there during the week,
registering from ninety-two counties
of the state and from eighteen other
states. 1t looks like there will be at
least 5000 there this year.

Secretary Roach's Record.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Jan. 4, 1915
The receipts of the office of Secretary
of State under the administration of
Cornelius Roach the past year are
nearly two hundred thousand dollars
in excess of the most prosperous year
in the history of the State Depart
ment prior to Mr.. Roach's incum-
bency. The total receipts for 1914 of
his office were $435, 5S7.62. The re-
ceipts during the last four years
reach a total of 1880, 997 .09. The
last four years Of his predecessors
term showed total receipts of $751;
118 .49, OF IN average Of $1S7 ,779.6 so per
year. The average during MI. Roach's
term is 314,40 so.
The total revenues as shown by the
figures which follow testify in terms
stronger than any language can, of
the manner in which the affairs of the
office of Secretary Of State have been
conducted during that period:

The meeting closed Sunday night.
Why did it close SO soon? well, why
did Alexander weep?
In the past Piedmont had broken
the hearts of a score of evangelists.
1t had become the common UNDER
standing that the town was ~invincible.
But now this arrogant stronghold of
resistance to the gospel, stands a will
ing captive to the compelling evan
gelism of Steve Burk, and is too
amazed owe the suddenness of it all
to really know how it happened.
The four hundred and twelve con-
versions resulting from the meeting
included nearly a score who united
with the churches Sunday without
having actually pledged themselves
beforehand. This total includes all
but five or six of the business and
professional men of the town.
How did Burk do it? Well, how
does the Tightening strike? and how
does dynamite explode? and how
does a German brigade, within q
bowling circle of howitzer balls as big
as m~eteors, walk into and through
solid walls of steel and concrete?
There are nc details to relate-only
a result.
For one thing, nobody's logic is
worth a confederate shin plaster in
front of a Burk onslaught. No sort
of defense is. He is a sledge hammer
so big that most folks are like pin
heads on his anvil. Not that his logic
is better than other peoples; but how
can logic reply to a steam roller? 1t
was not that he preached a gospel
different from other evangelists who
have been here; but he had more
personality behind it-more dynamic
force.
Early in the meeting the sinners be-
gan to capitulate. Then contagion
caught the town. Power, pleading,
responsiveness from the platform;
personal work pressure, exhortation,
all combined to swing the people
into a tremendous, unqualified land
slide for decency, public morals, in
dividual reformation and church
loyalty.
All successful evangelists under
stand the principle that "the constant
dropping of water ear away stone"
But Steve Burk's idea seems to be
this: "Why fool away time lombard
ing the stone with rain drops; turn
on the big blue ocean"
y n II n
From here the evangelists went to
their homes in Kansas City, Kansas,
where they will remain with their
families a few days. They expect to
begin their next meeting at Centralia,
Ills, about January 10.
