MINISTER OREAR GLAD To
Be HOME ONCE AGAIN
Report That he Would not Make Fu-
ture Home Here, he Says is Abb
solutely Wrong.

John Davis Orear, Minister Pleni-
potentiary and Envoy Extraordinary
to Bolivia, from the United States, ar
rived home from South America, late
Tuesday afternoon. He expects to re-
main here fully two months before he
returns to his post. Mr. Orear was
over month on his return trip and
passed through the Panama Canal.
He says the report that he viii not
make Mexica his home when his term
expires is without foundation. Il
have been in Mexico since was big
enough to play with string Of
spools," he said, "and | expect to re-
turn and die here. ! like Mexico and
Audrain county and have yet TO find
a better place to live. In fact | don't
beleieve there is any such place."
Mrs. Orear and their son, John
Davis Orear, Jr., will likely stay in
Mexico at least another year. The
climate Of Bolivia is especially hard
on children and they fear to take the
baby, which is only nine months old,
back. Mr.. Orear looks splendidIy and
his many friends were delighted to see
him.

BOAT TRIP ON THE
MISSISSIPPI FINE
The Most Restful Method of Travel
is on the River Boat According
to the Colonel.

Quincy, near Hannibal, Aug. 23,
1915.--The writer and DR.. A. A. wal
lace are taking nine day trip to St.
Paul and return on the steamer
Quincy, and it promises to be most
delightful. The weather is fine, the
boat is fine, the crowd is fine, the music
is fine, the captain is fine, the officers
are all fine, the scenery is fine, and
think all those fines and others, too
numerous to mention, constitute a
fine time.
! was surprised on my way to St.
Louis to notice how little threshing
has been done. Hundreds of acres of
wheat are still in the shock and the
shocks are sproutiDg. Some Of this
wheat made 80 bushels to the acre
and at $1.05 a bushel see what is lost.
This wheat should have been stacked
and all of it would have been saved.
Quite number Of tourists, who are
seeing America first" and are not
afraid Of submarines Of logs in the
Mississippi river, are on board and
pronounce this trip one of the most
delightful you can take in any part of
the world.
Our much beloved Mark Twain in
his Life on the Mississippi" says;
eve move up the river always
through enchanting scenery, there be-
ing no other kind on the Upper Miss
issippi. The water is beautiful olive
green. The majestic bluffs that over
look the river, along through this re-
gion, charm one with the grace and
variety of their forms, and the soft
beauty of their adornment. The
steep, verdant slope, whose base is at
the waters edge is topped by lofty
rampant of broken turreted rocks,
which are exquisitely rich and mellow
in color mainly dark browns and
dull greens, but splashed with other
tints. And then you have the shin
ing river, winding here and there and
FOUNDER, its sweep interrupted at in
tervals by clusters Of wooded islands
threaded by silver channels; and you
have glimpses of distant villages,
asleep upon capes; and of stealthy
RATS slipping along in the shade Of
the forest walls; and of white steam
ers vanishing around remote points
And it is all as tranquil and reposeful
as dreamland, and has nothing this
worldly about it--nothing to hang a
fret or worry upon"
If you want TO take real restful
rest under the most favorable circum-
stances and at a most reasonable price
you should write the Streckfus Steam
boat Line, st. Louis. 1t sure delivers
the goods.
