Loved Her Dumb Friends.

A few days ago Tom Kunkler, one
Of Jasper's horse buyers; attended the
shle of farmer near Carl Junction,
where he bought team of mules called
Minnie and Dell and two ponies, Dick
and Frank. The animals had been in
the family several years and they were
parted with with much regret. A touch
Of real human interest is added to the
transaction by pathetic little note re-
ceived by Mr.. Kunlsler a few days la
ter written him by the farmers wife,
as follows:
Dear Sir hope you will pardon a
stranger for asking favor. Our sale
was week ago today. You. bought
our mules, Minnie and Dell and ponies
Dick and Frank. You were an honest
bidder and received an honest value.
There never was kinder team to both
man and beast than the mules. used
to take imy children and drive them
alone anywhere and they never once
detiled my trust. The mother OF the
ponies took Mr.. Hollingsworth and me
on many drive during our sweet
heart" days, SO we love them, too, for
''auld lang syne."
81 have been all broken up since the
sale, although it seemed we must sell
because farming did not pay here, but
my enc hope is that 1 may be able to
find out where they are going and buy
them back when fate smiles on us
again. Will you help me make my
wish come true2
Keep Minnie and Dell together if you
can, and Dick with Frank.
You may think me foolish but
don't believe you will. They obeyed
me, served me, loved me, even gave
themselves to pay my obligations. 1t
surely is not foolish for me to want to
know who will care for them and where
they are going since we had to send
them adrift. do hope they won't be
sent to the battle field, because they
loved peace. | will always love them
and never forget them, and it will be q
long time before it will seem like home
without them. a horse wants home
he can call his own, just like we do.
Grandfather had horse that came
back from Texas once to the old home.
Anything you can do in my favor to
keep track Of my dumb friends will be
most highly appreciated.

A Rare Treat

Among the notable features Of the
Seventh Methodist Assembly at Area
dia from July 9th to the 23rd, there
is programmed for the evening of
Tuesday, July 18th, and afternoon of
Wednesday, July 18th, concerts by
Barroll's Concert Orchestra, of Farm
ington. This organization gave pro-
gram at the Assembly last year, which
was said to be one Of the most enjoy
able, if not the most enjoyable enter
tainment feature attendants had ever
had, and the Orchestra was invited
back for this year to spend an entire
week on the Assembly grounds. The
Orchestra is a good one, and is COM
posed of the following, all of Farm
ington:
Charles Mccarthy, clarinet; VIM.
o'Sullivan, Jr., violin; Miss Hattie
Smith, violin; Miss De Allen McKin-
ney, violin; Miss Rachael Murrill,
violin; Carroll E. Phillips, cello; Miss
Alma Williams, cello; J. H. Radle,
bass violin; John B. Robinson, from
bone: Miss Mary Jane Henderson, pi-
ano; Homer Carver, drums and traps;
Miss Alma Radle, flute; William Cow
er, cornet, and Edward G. Barroll, vi
olin and director of the organization.
The Orchestra will also bring with
them little Miss Barbara Caroline
Tullock, Farmington's talented and
phenomenal 9-year old violiniste; Miss
Mabel SacSman, reader Of exception
al ability; Mr.. Harold McCurdy, vo-
calist, and Mr.. Carl Trauernicht, a
monologist.
1t is pretty generally admitted in
Southeast Missouri that this organi-
cation has no superior in this part of
the State. For the past two years the
Orchestra has filled countless engage
ments, always with success. The AS
sembly is fortunate to secure the Or
chetra for these concerts, and those
who attend the Assembly this year
may count on an unusual treat worth
going miles to enjoy.
The cause of Christianity is not
dead, and thousands Of people, some
from almost every State in the Union
will be here to spend the two weeks.
! If you have ever attended, you
know what it is, and will feel an ear
nest desire to attend again, and il
you have never attended, you have
missed much. Be there if you cam

Government Help
For Public Roads

A few weeks since, we mentioned the
passage by the lower house of Con-
gress of what is known as the Shack
leford bill. In the Senate a number
of important changes have been made,
and the Senate has now passed bill
by Senator Bankhead, of Alabama, as
substitute for the Shackleford bill.
Briefly, this bill authorizes the Sec
rotary of Agriculture to cooperate
with the various States which have
State highway departments, in the
construction of rural post roads. By
a rural post road is meant any road
over which the United States mails are
transported. The bill appropriates
the sum of $75,000,000 for the con-
struction of such roads. 1t will be di-
vided among the different States in
the following manner: One-third in the
ratio which the area of each State
bears to the total area of all the
States; one-third in the ratio which
the population of each State bears to
the total population of all the States;
one-third in the ratio which the mile
age of rural delivery routes in each
State bears to the total mileage of
rural delivery routes in all the States.
For the. fiscal year ending June 80,
1917, the sum Of five millions will be
appropriated, and for the next four
years, ten, fifteen, twenty and TWEEN
ty-five millions, respectively.
The Secretary of Agriculture is au-
thorized to make rules and regula-
tions for carrying out the provisions
of the act; but no money is to be paid
to any State until the State Legisla-
ture has agreed to the provision of
the act. Nor can any money be paid
to the State until the plans, specifi-
cations and estimates for the roads to
be improved have been approved by
the Secretary of Agriculture, nor un-
til he has received satisfactory as
surance that the State has provided
in money, labor and materials an
amount equal to the sum to be receiv-
ed from the United States, nor until
satisfactory agreement shall have
been made by the States that the
roads built under this act will be pro-
perly maintained by the States.
The Bankhead bill passed by the
Senate, and the Shackleford bill pass
ed by the House, will now go to a
conference committee composed OF
members from both Senate and House
The general purpose Of the two bills
is the same, and it is therefore prac-
tically certain that the conference
committee will agree upon a bill
| which will contain the main features

WILD STRAWBERRIES ARE
BECOMING MOST DELICIOUS

Two years ago A. J. Seypohtowslxy,
one of the well known farmers, ran
across some extra fine wild straw
berries out in the woods on his place
It looked mighty good to him. He
watched it closely, took the runners
and set them out in a separate bed
The berries are as large as the gen
aral run Of berries, are hardy, taste
most palateable, and coming right on
+ the woods as they have attracted
great attention. Some Of these ber-
les have been preserved by w S
Randall of the Commercial Club, and
he future progress Of the offspring
t this vine will be watched with il
crest, as il may develan into a ne
