England has always favored lawn and
covered courts, yet there are few in the
United States owing to the cost OF erec-

nasiums may serve as makeshift courts
in the winter. but tennis is at its best
outdoors on a lawn or court Of earth

and cement courts are equally rare, so

the most part golden fat, while the
nucleus of cells is a most potent and

are unfoided all sorts OF complex and

DEMONSTRATIONS

Friday, on short notice, we held a
very interesting canning demonstra-
ton at Benton City. Prof. r. H.
Emerson of Columbia, who has
charge of the U. S. Department of
Agricultural Extension, and C. w.
Reavis, also of Columbia, who has
charge of the Boys and Girls Club
work for Missouri, did the demon
strating. More than SO very much
interested visitors were present.
About a half dozen of these were
from the country. The men and
horses were busy in the fields, and
only few found it possible to come.
A half dozen very enthusiastic house
wives from Mexico, including Mes
danes E. H. Carter, Frank Coats
worth, Fred Llewellyn, Norton Mel
son, and others whom 1 do not re-
member, and Mrs. Coatsworth's son
and daughter were also present, and
were very anxious to get Prof. En-
berson to put the demonstration on
at Mexico in the near future. This
he will probably do. A club of about
10 girls was organized with Mrs.
George Kellerhals as leader
Arrangements are being made to
give the demonstration at Laddonia

PLAIN TALK.

Mrs. c. L. Mayhall is the new ed
itor of the Laddonia Herald. She
comes back at the business men of her
town in the following plain talk,
as she calls it:
1t has been our custom to publish
names of those going shopping in
neighboring towns, but as we have no
advertising to fill the columns we
feel these live wire" merchants
might spend part of their spare time
reading Of the number who are off
doing their trading in Mexico or Van
dalia. We have just as good a town
and could have just as good business
as any place around here if the bust
ness end of the proposition would
wake up and do their part. We have
worked hard to build up this paper
and push the town. What co-opera-
ton have we had? A six-inch ad. on
Christmas from one or two stores, q
few other inches scattered around
thru the year and the biggest part OF
merchants job work sent to the
printers, Sears & Roebuck" job
shops.
Let a stranger or business man
pick up the Herald this week and
list the number of different firms
of business in our town-we have
two banks, lumber yard, Racket
Store and a new grocery store to oper
Saturday, have to go out of town tc
get a ham sandwich, shave, new hat
sugar and salt, a new dress, rock
ing chair, screw driver, oil stove, {
beef steak and cascaret to pass thu
time away.
This Mrs. Editor" isn't going t.
work her nails off for the bushes
people of the town to spend thei
hours reading the news and sayin
what mistakes she's made. She vii
fill up with plate one week and spen
the time soliciting advertising out o
town. She had rather sell the sho
than run it for fun.
