Ernest A. Green of st. Louis,
;andidate for the Democratic

eral of Missouri, was in Lexing-
ton Wednesday calling on the
voters. Mr.. Green was born and
reared in De Sofa, Mo. He
moved to Popular Bluff and be-
came Prosecuting Attorney, He
was assistant Attorney-General
under Gov. Major, and was con-
tinued in that office by Attorney
General Barker. Resigning from
that office, Mr.. Green located in
st. Louis and entered upon the
practice of law.
Besides being a graduate from
the Law and Collegiate Depart
ments of the University of Mis-
souri,, Mr.. Green has had fine
opportunity to gain experience
which should fit him to discharge
the duties of the Attorney-Gen-
erals Office. He is a good cam
paigner and, no doubt, will give
a good account of himself be-
fore the August primary, and if
nominated he will be a tower of
strength to the ticket at the
November election.

Democratic nomination to the

A Believer in Preparedness.

Texas as his home, was arrested
near Myrick Sunday night by De-
tective John Shinkle. Granstaff
was carrying a Colts special
United States Service revolver,
six inch barrel and a belt full of
cartridges. His actions were
such as to arouse the suspicion
of the detective who brought him
to Lexington and put him in
jail. Monday morning in Justice
Clyde Wright's court he was
booked for the August term of
the criminal court. 1t is rumored
that a reward is offered for his
arrest.

The Old Mems Club of Lafay-
cite County was organized Au-
gust A, 1868, and year after

but none has surpassed the en-
tertainment and generosity ac-
corded by the citizenship of Con-
cordia on Saturday, June 3, 1916.

His death removes from our

Weather, books and roads contribute
largely to the influences of rural life.
Bad weather and bad roads mean
books.
And books they say are the light
houses erected in the great sea OF
time. They are masters who instruct
us without rods or ferules, without
words or anger, without bread or
money. If you approach them they
are not asleep. If you seek them they
do not hide. If you blunder they do
not scold. If you are ignorant they
do not laugh.
But the worst robber in all the
world is a bad book. 1t has long been
the devils policy to keep the masses
of mankind in ignorance; but, finding
that they will read, he is doing all in
his power to poison their books. Now,
let's see what our rural friend is read
ing. oh, rara avis. oh, book without
parallel in the history of commercial
destruction. THE book" is a huge pic.
toriaI. tricu ored retail catalogue.
The catalogues of mail order houses
are kind of leaky boat on the waters
of temptation; some of the temptation
will get in anyhow.
Mud a Great:HeIp Too.
What is more natural with gloom,
darkness, rain and mud surrounding
farmer or S''N'ir ,an dweller. when to
venture foi cans either a sacrifice
of self or fan horses, than for him
to turn to the alluring catalogue for
both ,pastime and means of procur-
ing the necessaries of life? Thus it
can be seen that the third and best
factor in favor of the catalogue houses
is mud.
Man is measured by his deeds, and 1t
seems strange that after mastering the
| art of reading the stars, discovering
, the course of the planets controlling
| the iron monster, the lightning. the
sea and the wind. man shows his in
ability to conquer the one great prob
lem which is proving such draw
back to the best expression of his life
in rural districts as far as social and
commercial conditions are concerned
Poor roads seem to be his heritage, his
master.

There is a something about pic
lures that appeals to everyone. The
kind of pictures person enjoys re-
veals his innermost nature. There
is a saying "Show me the books a
boy loves and | will tell you the
boys character " This saying is
true but here is one that is truer.
"Show me the pictures that adorn
your own private rooms and l will
read your character without seeing
you at all and read it truly.
Beware Of the man who appre-
ciates no art except that exmeplifi-
ed by Gibson head, a circus post
er, or the popular actress. A pic
ture is silent though powerful
teacher. Select the pictures for your
rhildren as carefully as you would
select their teacher. Give them one
or two copies of the really great
pictures and teach them not to ad-
mire but to love them. In selecting
for a rural school" select them as
carefully as you would select your IL
brary. Remember il is your sacred
duty to exalt and not condemn rural
life, scenes and ideals. Your library
should teach a love Of nature, for
country boys and girls, live close to
nature and should know how to love
and appreciate "The Mother of Us
All" In selecting the pictures for
your school remember the country
creed is Mature"

Hazel Alice Garrett was born in
Fulton County, Ohio, April 18th,
1908, and departed this life at her
home on East Chestnut street, Feb
ruary 7th, 1916, aged twelve years
nine months and twenty-four days.
Her death was caused from pneu-
monia from which she suffered
greatly until the hand of death came,
and she passed into the Great Be-
yond. Two brothers preceding, her.
She is gone from sight, but like the
evening star which sinks below the
horizon and passes from our vision
but has not ceased to exist. She
was converted in February 1915 un-
der the labors of Rev. J. Phillips,
and united with the u. B. church
and was baptized by Rev. Phillips
August 8, 1915. She leaves to mourn
their loss a mother, father, one
brother and one sister and many rela-
tives and friends; she had smile
for all she met and was loved by all
who knew her. She will be greatly
missed in the home and by her as
sociates. E. G. Miser officiating and

Mother. sister, brother, all are sad
today.
A voice they loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in their home,
Which only Hazel could fill.
Our eyes are blinded by the tears,
That will not cease to flow,
We put our hands in thine, deal

And Thou wilt, guide, I know.
We thank thee, Father, for her faith
So strong, so deep and true!

To dwell with Him in Paradise.

RURAL SCHOOL PICTURES
The Kind That Should be Selected for the Rural School
Room.-A Silent Though Powerful Teacher

"The Highland Shepherds Chief
Mourner" are very good. Rosa Bon
heur is in sympathy with country
life and hers: 1.-THE Horse Fair,
"A Noble Charge" Changing Pas
ture", and "Denizens of the High
lands" are among her best paintings.
Millet's best country subjects are:
Feeding the Birds, "The First
Step, "The Angelus" and "The
Cleaners"
Da Vinci's greatest creations are
ideal for the boys and girls. There
could not be better picture for
any school than "The Christ Child,
while "The Last Supper" is one of
he most historic of all paintings.
Raphall's "Sistine Madonna is
one Of the most loved of all that
great artists production.
There are many scenes from
American History that are good.
Portraits of our. own greatest men
are excellent. Pictures from maga-
zines are better than nothing but
hasten the day when no county
school will have to decorate its walls
with such makeshifts.
Well chosen pictures create an air
of studious refinement and culture
that can be secured in no other way.
Use judgment in selecting your pic
lures. They mean much to boys
and girls during the character FORM
ing period of their lives.
Next week, The Social Life of a
Rural School.
Friday evening February 18th we
will have an old fashioned "Spelling
School" at The Dowell School. There
will be singing by the pupils of the
singing school and short program.
A prize of $1.00 will be given for
the best oral spelling and substan-
tial cash prizes for the best, and
second best in the written spelling,
The admission will be five cents
COUNTY Superintendent Perry will
pronounce the words.
