MAKERS OF A TOWN

The man who knocks his home town
is despicable. The man who is indif-
ferent to the affairs of his town is
perhaps a little better, but he's not
much of an asset It's the man who
puts his shoulder to the wheel of civic
welfare and boosts and builds for his
town that is the communty's best cit
iZen.
There is such a man in Hume, down
in Bates County, Missouri. He is
Lewis w. Moore, editor of the Border
Telephone. According to the census
of 1910, Hume is a town of only 514
inhabitants, but Mr.. Moore has done
his utmost to better every one of these
citizens, and he has succeeded in no
small degree. Hume is known as the
White City. 1t is a town of white,

The st. Joseph Gazette for Sunday,

Mrs Miller is a most charming
woman. not at all resembling the bold,

often associated with one in Mrs
Millers work is entirely missing.
Scarcely ever does she fail in con-
vincing her hearer that there is really
something it it The further an
nouncement that Mrs. Miller is to
speak on welfare work will no doubt
be received with much interest, as
she was for several years member of

SHALLOW BASINS

Have YOU ever looked into the
smooth. SlIaye face of Il fountain basin
whose placid shallow surface took the
blue of heaven and the stars of God
and gave them back to you with a
smiling assurance which hoodwinked
you into believing they were the
basins own?
Oh have you seen such a surface re
fleet a storm-swept sky and imagined
that the storm was born of the basins 5
strength and fury?
Or watched a reflected cloud, with
misty sails all set, sweep across the
surface of your basin and made your
self believe it was your ship come in
at last?
And even though in your heart you
knew that the stony bottom was but
a fingers length beneath the deceiving
face. did your Imagination and a
weary longing cajole you into taking a
plunge into the shallow waters, a
plunge which left you with bruised
shoulders and an aching heart?
And then. were you very, very wise
and prayed 20 God, do not let me be
undeceived Keep whole. even unto
the end, my faith in Shallow Basins
that reflect the blue of heaven and
the stars of God, for there is no hap
piness in knowing that they are only
reflectors after all"?

THE 1910 CHlUTIUQUl
Twelfth AnnHal Seasons Booklet
Now Being Distributed.

For the twelfth season, the Oska-
loosa chautauqua booklet is now be
ing distributed and as In former years,
it presents the cream of talent in the
Lyceum and chautauqua world. There
are very few of the large summer
gatherings that appeal to the public
through the popular entertainments,
that in any way excel the program as
presented year after year in Oska-
loosa.
The people of Mahaska county and
the surrounding country have always
demanded the best and one great rea-
son why the Oskaloosa chautauqua
has been so successful in past years Is.
/ because the best has been presented
and the people know that they get
value received in all cases. The pro
gram this season brings back some
told and popular favorites: DIR. Stan

And not the least among the return
dates are the Nine White Huzzars,
the fine singing band that made such
hit last year. Mrs. Maude Darlington
Booth and John Temple Graves have
also been in Oskaloosa before, but
under other conditions. In spite of the
return of these old friends, new and
rich talent is introduced each day.
and the intermixture of those we know
with those that are new only adds to
the strength and force of the program
offered.
A most timely feature will be the
opening illustrated lecture on Mexico.
by the great traveller, Peter Mcqueen,

follow in a rich assortment Music in

CORN GROWS RAPIDL !
Tassels Beginning to Show in Many
Early Planted Fields.

The weekly bulletin Of the Iowa
Weather and Crop Service for the
week ending July IS, says:
Another week of high temperatures
and abundance of sunshine with local
showers in nearly all parts of the
state has kept corn growing very rap
idly, and the crop Is in fine shape. Tas-
sells are beginning to show in many
of the early planted fields. The wealth.
er was also favorable for haying and
harvesting. All of the clover and much
of the timothy hay was put up in
excellent condition. Practically all OF
the winter wheat and early oats are
in the shock in the southern counties
and threshing has begun in a few To-
ealities. Harvest has also begun in
the central and northern counties and
will be general in all sections during
the coming week. Late oats would be
benefited by rain, and potatoes, pas
lures, blackberTies, garden truck and
tree fruits are in need of rain in many
sections, especially in the southeast
ern counties. The daily maximum
temperature ranged from 80, to 100 de
gTees. ns
