the best they have. In fact the en-
tire educational force of the State will
be concentrated at the camp for the
purpose of giving to the most i'm
questionable part of the State those
facts which will count toward making
Missouri a better Missouri.
There will be at the disposal of
these instructors the best stock, the
best poultry, the best grain, the best
fruit, the best silos, the best machin-
ery-the best of everything to be
used as concrete material with which
to work.
In addition to this, one half day will
be spent in an auto ride over Pettis
! county under the direction of Sam
Jordan, the Farm Agent, and the
boys will see the results of some
! practical work done by the best
! farmers of the State. This will be a
| great week for the boys.
The examination to determine who
will represent Iron county will be
given by the County superintendent
at Tronton on Friday, September 8,
1915. 1t will consist of five questions

| and a $50 word essay on "Leguminous
Crops"

Bids were received Tuesday after
moor by highway engineer, Harry d.
Griffith, for the construction of the
two and one-half mile gap in the De
Soto and Bonnie Terre road. VIM. j.
Knorpp of De Soto was the lowest
bidder for the entire work at ten
thousand two hundred and forty
dollars. The specifications are strict
and call for an excellent road, and in
asmuch as the material to make the
road has to be hauled at least two
miles, the price seems to be reasonable.
The completion of this road will give
a continuous rock road from st. Louis
to the Arcadia Valley and eventually
will be connected up withroads reach
ing into all the principal counties OF
South East Missouri down to Cape
Girardeau. The bid was accepted by
the County Court and a contract will
be entered into with the De Soto
Grading and Construction Co., which
Mr.. Knorpp represented. Bond will
be required in double the amount OF
the bid. This makes certain the COM
pletion of the gap.-Jefferson County

Baptist Encampment.


LA0nl ~ ~ ~
The encampment grounds is a
veritable city of tents; the largest
crowd ever enrolled registered here
Monday and Tuesday. Wagon loads
of people are arriving after each
north and south bound trainCeven
the night trains. A bunch arrived last
night around eleven disturbing our
peaceful slumbers. The office men
told us yesterday that they expected
fully 1000 enrolment. A greater
number engaged tents ahead of time
than ever before-which fact goes to
show that there will be a larger
number staying on the grounds than
last year. The number of transients
will run into hundreds after the meet
ing is started.
The encampment is easily accessible
for machines. The grounds are very
beautiful and much improved. Mr..
Ringo of Ironton has a complete store
on the grounds where n can pur-
chase everything from a large coal oil
stove to a tooth brush. There is also
a laundry, a restaurant, a barber shop
and a magazine tent on the grounds.
We get our mail twice daily. Many
new bungalows have been built, and
bungalow Row" is a real avenue.
The grounds are lighted with good gas
lights. Our water is clear and cold,
and there are hydrants within a few
feet of every tent. We haven't been
in the swimming pool yet because of
the cool weather, but will go in to-
morrow if it warns up.
The services start tonight with the
big Sunset prayer meeting. There are
a number of the prominent speakers
for the two weeks already on the
ground. De Soto has a good number
of delegates.
We have met several old friends
and made some new ones. We note
the following: Mr.. and Mrs. George
Steele of Flat River, Judge May
berry, who is camping with his family
from Pennington, also Supt. Johns OF
Pennington. Prof. Johns wasa former
principal at De Soto. We shall doubt
less meet many more in the next few
days and shall send in a fuller report
next week. Our time has been pretty
well put in getting our large party
comfortably located.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

Under the Very effective protection
resulting from the war new and In.
Ipprtant Industry ts incubating III this
country. The mann fracture 81 dye
stuHs is conceded 10 be a possible and
pr0htable undefta king The. incupa-
ton has gone far enough to result
IN one concerns purchasing ~ 100
acres Of land on which to build q
dyestun factory. IT Is generally re-
cognized, however, that this concern
Is taking long chances.
Why? Because the end Of the war
may come at any time within
the next two years-will end the pro-
lection and, given q Democratic presi-
dent and Congress of like politics,
the market Of the United States wfll
tbeS open to the revived dyestnfts indus
tries Of Germany. Inundated by the
cheaper products Of Teuton factories,
our infant will drown.
Secretary Redfield has an answer to
this grave doubt, but It is not the
answer that VIII satisfy the country.
The secretary of commerce proposs IS
to save the infant by devious methods.
La Toilette bill, and lastly, to en-
overseas, he suggests that 1t may be
mopped2 UP by proc dings Instituted
IN the courts, under the trade COM
mission law, against those concerns
that purchase the foreign product.
The proposal needs merely to be
stated to make Its injustice and alb
surdity obvious. With what fairness
can the government, controlling our
ports of entry, permit the free impor-
tation Of foreign dyestuffs and then
penalize its own citizens for buying
them7 Why should the infant indus
try be put to the tedtus and costly
work of fighting such purchases
through the courts when the POSSIBLE
ity of them can be stopped by a tariff
sufficiently high to make the sale of
the foreign commodity Improbable?
It Is this ,untntelligent worship Of
a party fetish that stamps the dem
ocracy as impossible when big ques-
tons of national policy must be faced.
Traditiona1ly the Democratic party
believes in the open door to the for
eign producer. Actually the Dem-
ocratic party represented by Mr..
Redfe1dsees q great opportunity for
fostering need and Important indus
try at home and a real peril to its In
FAINT life; but hampered by its tradi-
tons, 1t cannot face the peril in the
only sane way-by closing the door.
1t proposes instead to let it in and
then swat it over the shoulder of
American business.
