LONDON GIRLS MAKING
GOOD ON THE Farm

LONDON, Nov. %. The report
made By the Wits War Agricultural
Committe that town girls are a fail
ure on the land requires immediate
contradiction" says the National Land
Council, "as such statements pub
lizhed irresponsibly as this seems TO
be r likely TO create a very wrong
impression and do harm with farmers.
~o< the five thousand women plac-
ed on the land a large proportion are
town girls. Artists, actresses, typ
lists, daughters of doctors, solicitors
and generals, trained and took their
place on the land at the beginning of
the war, and are still there.
"One girl Of 10, born and reared in
London, was sent to train on a large
farm. At the end Of three months she
was made 'cowman,' and has since,
in a more responsible position, train
ed other women 10 do the same work.
Town Girls in Demand.

wrote: 4 can size up masculine gen

asking for the same kind of workers

(By Rev. H. ;. harkSl
ne most historical and interesting
lplsee in Montgomery county is Min
cola Springs The town is located on
lLcutre where that stream is crossed
lbs the ON Trail or Boones Lick Road
now the Cross State Highway from
st Louis to Kansas City Under the
nSne Of Loutre Lick these springs
wcrs spoken Of II Congress at as
early a date as is24 by Clay, Web,
SEER. Calhoun and others. Thomas
III. Benton was accustomed. on his
~joarneys. to stop here and he called
the place the Bethesda Of the We&.
nat is, The House Of Mercy. The
original Bethesda was, Il win be re-
~memhered, a pool near the sheep gate
in Jerusalem in the days Of our
Savior. II had five porches and in
these lay multidude Of sick folk, wait
ing for the moving Of the water; for
an angel came down at certain times
and troubled the water, and whoever
entered the water f;rs. after the mo-
ing waA healed, hence the name
bethesda, house or pleee Of mercy.
Thus Mr.. Benton's name for these
springs was appropriate, for they
are likewise healing waters. And
that too is the meaning Of the word
Mineola in the Indian tongue, a name
borrowed from the original natives Of
Texas. Mr.. Benton knew his Bible,
and he appreciated the fitness of
things. as did the Texas Indians and
the person or persons who captured
"Mineola" from the Texas tribes and
gave it as a name for the Springs at
Loutre Lick.
The waters are truly healing; they
contain the following ingredients:
Silica, oxide Of iron, aluminium, sodi-
um sulphate, sodium chloride, pOta-
sum chloride, magnesium chloride,
calcium chloride and calcium carbon
ate. The water will keep indefinitely
and thousands of gallons r shipped
to parious parts of the State. The
waters have been known and used for
more than a century. They seem to
have a specific effect upon the stom-
ach and kidneys and are ~renovating
to the entire system.
The Boons Lick road was, in the
days before steam, the old Etage line
route. The coming Of the numbering
coach each day was a notable occur
ence and was looked for with as muth
interest by the people as a modern
limited is today. AS it approached
the town the driver would lay aside
his whip, take up his horn and blow 8
ringing blast that would wake the
echos and be heard for miles around,
and then pulling his four, or maybe
six-horse team into a smart c~anter,
would pass through the street and
round up with a skillful flourish at
the tavern. The travellers were the
guests Of Van Bibber.
Isaac Van Bibber lost his father
when he was less than three years
old and was adopted by Daniel
Boone. In 1915 they moved TO Lou
tire Lick, where the famous tavern
