Marston w. Beamer-he's given d
little to poetry in prose form-he
lives out at Molino and rides in a
Ford, and here's what they're get
ting off on him:
Now Henry Jones and a pretty lit
tie queen took a ride one day in his
big limousine. The car kicked up
and the engine wouldn't crank; there
wasn't any gas in the gasoline tank.
Just about that time along came
Nord, and he rambled right along in
his little old Ford" And he stole
that queen, and his enginesang a song,
and his little old Ford" just rambled
right along. And his little old Ford"
just rambled right along.
The gas burned out in the big
machine, but the darned little Ford
don't need gasoline. The big limou-
sine had to back down the hill; but
/ the blamed little Ford is going up
still. When she blows out tire, just
wrap it up with wire. And the little
old Ford Just rambled right along,
And the little old Ford just rambled
right along.
Now they ran over grass, now over
nails, now over pigs and puppy dog
tails; they spotted cop and shot out
of sight; they rambled all day and
they rambled all night. They smash,
ed up fences and telegraph poles
They bumped into bitches and chuck
holes. They bumped into a preacher

bird sought its nest in the woodland
dark and still, while the tree-frogs
whistled their vesper strain, and the
crickets chirped, ere the dews began

the echoing strain Of the last whip

and slowly, surely, the sounds of

we need the saving sacrament OF Al.

Thomas Speed Mosby is the au-
thor of the following fine thoughts:
The social and political life of a
nation can never rise above the level
of its spiritual life. The social uplift
should begin at home. That is the
place where all good citizenship orig
mates. When a nations citizenship
has failed it is because its homes
have failed. For the public life of
Ration is but a reflection of it's home
life. Home influences are best, home
tiles are strongest, home joys are
sweetest.
There is no affection so pure and
holy as that which stirs the soul
when carried back thru distant years
to the family hearth; and until the
human heart shall cease its throb-
bing the sweetest sounds that fall on
mortal ears will be the sounds from
i home-sweet. sweet home. sweeter

Because the preacher was in a
hurry for load of wood a Monroe
county wedding would have made a
fitting part of moving picture
scenario, says the Kansas City Times.
The parson had started from his
home for a load of wood and was a
quarter of mile away when couple
from Shelby county met him and
told him their intensions. The min
lister did not care to go back home
and dress up for the occasion, and
the prospective bridegroom had the
license, so without more ado the
wood wagon was driven up to the
side of the buggy in which the love-
lorn couple sat and the ceremony
performed.

Great Parade Shows Value of Good
Sires-Big Prize Winners Devel-
Ope From q Few Godd Breeds.
GREATEST PARADE IN
ALL THE WORLD,
Couldn't You DO Some OF The Same
Things on Your Audrain County
FarmP

Probably no parade in the world
has ever represented so many prize
winning and state and world-record
u animals bred by one educational in
stitution as that seen by Farmers
y Week visitors in Columbia recently.
The parade was to show that what
the College of Agriculture has done,
with a few good animals, any indi-
vidIal breeder of moderate means
n may do. The entire Hampshire flock
for example was bred from three
Hampshire ewes, and the HOlstein
herd, one of the finest in the country,
was descended from three COWS pur-
chased for about $500 in 1902. This
herd now includes SO cows that
could not be replaced for $4,000
land that have produced stock which
sold for $6,21S in cash, while the
milk more than supported the herd.
The parade was led by Honor
able, the imported Percheron stall
ion-a sire of many prize winners
followed by 16 other draft horses.
Among these was Josephine 32,564
and three of her foals which are
owned by the College of Agriculture.
Three others have been sold for
$1,1OO.
Among the dairy cows was Grace
Briggs, probably the holder of the
worlds long distance record So
far as is known no other COW has
ever equaled her production of near
: ly 10000 pounds of milk and
5000 pounds of butter in 16 years
that she has been in milk. She was
bred by the dairy department of the
college.
With the exception of one animal
all of the Hereford cattle in the par
ade were those raised on the Univer-
sity farm. The larger part of the
herd is descended from two cows pur
Z chased in 1904.
Among the shepp the most strik-
ing lesson was in the exhibit of the
different crosses of a medium priced
pure bred ram and grade Western
ewes. The daughter and grand

daughters of the typical, S0-pound
Western ewes looked so much alike
the pure-bred sheep that in many
cases they could hardly be distin-
guished.
The entire parade was designed to
show the value of good sires on the
farms.

will be greatly missed. We extend
sympathy to the relatives and espec-
tally to Miss Eunice who will miss
him most.

IN WASHINGTON.

IN WASHINGTON.
Miss Geraldine Hill and Emory
Bush Peoples were married last
Thursday afternoon in Washington.
1t was home wedding and only the
most intimate friends invited and the
ceremony followed by small recep-
ton. The color scheme was carried
out in blue and gold both in the
brides costume, decorations and re-
freshments. The altar and living
room in which she was married was
banked in palms and ferns, Mrs.
Ward roses, golden red and yellow
daisies, while the chandeliers were
hung with clematis and the lights
shaded by yellow globes. There were
no attendants and she entered on the
arm of the groom, the music being
furnished b. harp and two violins.

ice course was served. AS for the
pretty bride she was prettier than
ever, wearing BLUE duvetyn suit
with the cape of skunk fur, with hat
to match and a corsage of Mrs.
Ward roses and valley lilies. They
left at shutdown for an extended txip
to be gone about a month. From
Washington they. went to Philadel-
phia and Boston and after that they
lost themselves, as nobody knows
where they were going. Numerous
and handsome presents were shower
ed upon them. Mr.. Peoples brother
barrow, accompanied him to Wash
inton and several Birmingham girls
went to attend the wedding and as
Emory formerly lived here he has
many friends who were very much in
! terested in the event. Martha Truss
is now with the Hills in Washington.
The bride is daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. L. w. Hill, who formerly made
their home in Alabama, and where he
was considered one of Alabama's
foremost planters, and now their
! daughter will come back to Alabama

largely favorable; that it's own mem
bership his increased by hundreds of
thousands, and most significant of
all, that every political party has put
in its platform plank for woman
suffrage and every presidential can
didate has expressed himself in favor
of it.
"The N. A. w. S. A. demands that
congress shall recognize this situa-
ton by submitting without delay an
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton, which shall secure nationwide
suffrage. 1t calls attention to the
increasing public opinion in favor of
national legislation. 1t holds that
the doctrine of states rights would
not be violated by the submission of
a national amendment for woman
suffrage, since it would have to be
ratified by three-fourths of the state
legislators which are elected by pop
ular vote.
'This association calls especial at
tention to the fact that during the
entire forty-seven years of its exis-
tence its attitude toward the political
parties has been strictly non-partisan
and its victories have been due ID

ton is firmly of the opinion that adj
herence or hostility to any party is to
be condemned and it hereby declares
its continued allegiance to the policy

to put into effect the resolutions
adopted in 1848 at the first woman's

of the women of this country to Sc
cure to themselves their sacred rights
to the elective franchise
'In pursuance of this policy the
forty-eighth annual convention has
instructed its congressional commit
tee to concentrate all it's resources on
a determined attempt to carry the
federal amendment through the last
session of the Sixty-fourth Congress
and it has pledged the support of
state organizations to this end.
"The association now declares that
as a result of it's work, woman suf-
frage is in practical operation in
twelve states; that it has refuted ev-
cry objection urged against it; that
it has plainly demonstrated it's value
to the states and to the women them
selves; that this is proved by the fact
that no state has made an effort to
repeal it; that an immense amount
of favorable public sentiment has
been created as shown in the resolu-
tons adopted by hundreds of interna-

other objects with millions of men
