Seattle

The Friday following Easter, Mr..
and Mrs. E. o. B. Nugent formerly
Alice Chase) entertained at their
residence, 1415 Orange Place, Seattle,
Washington, some present and other
day Arcadia Valley residents, Of whom
it might interest a few of your read
ers, especially old timers, to hear.
If some psychological transforma-
ton could make actual jewellers in a
community enjoy each other as much
as a few ''strays' from an old home
region can when they foregather in
distant chimes it would be a "con-
summation ~devoutly," etc. At least,
enjoyment seemed to be the keynote
to which this occasion was attuned, as
memories were led a lively pace and
tongues we're loosened to reminis-
cences, sad and gay.
1t was decided that for one evening
at least Shepherd Mountain and Pilot
Knob outranked Rainier, Stout's Creek
was more beautiful than lakes and
sound, the memory of rustling oak
leaves a break in the monotonous
murmur of evergreen forests; that
Missouri watermelons stood in no
danger of rivalry from the justly
famed fruits of the Northwest, and
that a mule was better than a kayuse
any day!
A decorated banner, eight feet long,
inscribed "Arcadia Valley" was con-
spicuous among the decoration 8.
Other suggestive articles in evidence
were, of course, a copy of the IRON
COUNTY REGISTER, songs by valley
authors, notably, "Arcadia, the Beau
tiful," by the late Judge Emerson;
wild pansies raised from plants direct
from "the point" at the old home
| place OF the hostess.
During the evening a Kaleidoscope
was used to throw pictures Of valley
scenery, and of individuals, upon a
large canvas. This feature brought
out many ''ohsn and tabs" and MUIR
murs of 'just as he," (she, or it /" us
ed to lookl" Some rare, old pictures
were among the collection. In one,
especially, did many claim to see the
Ironton they remembered. 1t was q
large sized photo of Pilot Knob, in

nation. So far no Republican has an
nounced himself as willing to make
the race against him.-De Soto Times.
Sometimes the Sunshine Special
stops at Arcadia for st. Louis passen-
gers and sometimes it does not. On
two or three occasions recently it
has rushed past the Arcadia water
tank at a rate of sixty miles an hour,
disappointing several would-be pas
sengers. 1t is said that when the
train stops at Hogan for water it
rushes by the Arcadia tank.
Prof. H. @. johnson of the De Soto
Business College was in Ironton Sat-
urday on his way to Roselle. Prof.
Johnson says the outlook for his
school was never as promising as it is
at the present time.
From reading the court proceedings
in the st. Francois county papers n
comes to the conclusion that they
are having much more trouble over
there with the b%ootleggers than they
ever had with the saloons.
The proposition of bonding the
county for road purposes has not yet
occasioned much talk in this vicinity.
Of course, all agree that we need the
roads and that they would be of great
benefit, but can we afford to pay the
price?
A large hotel, or boarding house,
has 5een built at the Silver Mines.
The Grissom Store Company, at
Fredericktown, has also put up a store
building there. The outlook is very
encouraging for lively times at the
mines.
While on the way to Jackson yes
terday afternoon, DR.. j. W. Hall and
wife Of Fruitland met with an acct
dent which might have resulted seri-
ously. The road near the johnson
place has just been graded and when
the machine struck the loose dirt, the
doctor lost control of the machine
and it ran up an embankment against
q fence and fell backwards. The top
saved the inmates from serious injury.
Mrs. Hall suffered from bruises on
her foot and the machine was dam
aged a little but able to proceed
Jackson Items.
The county court has been IN
gagged, on the recommendation Of
the bond committee, in considering
suggested plans for untaking the task
of road building under the new system.
It has not yet been determined just
where the work will be commenced,
but it is desired to formulate some
plan so that permanent locations may

DR.. Howard Lindsay Of st. Louis in
in Irontou visiting his mother and
daughter. His health has not been
good the past two years and he has
been travelling in the interest of a
drug concern. He expects to resume
the practice of medicine about the first
of the year and may locate in Iron
ton.
A. E. Thorp, the insurance man, and
Mr.. Murray, representative of the
Pierce Oil Corporation, made a drive
last Thursday and Friday from Ironton
to Belleview, thence to the west end
of the county, to L~esterville, Glover
and then back to Ironton. They said
they found the roads much better
than anticipated.
Mrs. F. o. Codding last Thursday
received the sad intelligence of the
death of her mother, Mrs. Wilson, at
Vineland that day. The deceased was
well known here, having spent much
time at the home of her daughter.
She was universally esteemed and ad-
mired and all learned of her death
with sorrow. To the bereaved we ex-
tend our sympathy.
One day last month there was an
assemblage of former Vallegians, now
living in Seattle, Washington, at the
home of one of their number.
What they did and what they said is
told in a very interesting article print
ed in this weeks REGISTER. And we
believe it will be unusually entertain
ing reading to all the older residents
of the valley and vicinity.
Ed. Farmer, who is working in the
Chevrolet Automobile works in st.
Louis, spent Saturday and Sunday
with his parents in Ironton. Ed says
the plant is now turning out about 35
cars a day and would finish half that
many more If the material could be
secured with which to construct them
Len Sutton, another Irontonion, is
employed in the same factory.
Judge E. M. bearing last week filed
with the Secretary of State as a candi-
date for re- rejection as Circuit Judge
in this district, on the Democratic
ticket. Judge bearing has made an
able officer and it is not likely that he
will have any opposition for the nom

A large barn on the farm Of W. N.
Tins, who lives about two miles east
of Ironton, was struck by lightning
and destroyed by fire, during the
storm before day Sunday morning. In
the barn we're 500 bushels of wheat,
300 bushels of corn, ten tons of hay, a
farm wagon, spring wagon, harness
and many other articles. Mr.. Tins
carried $500 insurance on the building
but none on the contents. His loss
is several hundred dollars. The
scorched wheat, however, he was
able to dispose of at fifty cents a
bushel for feeding purposes. =
Programs have been issued for the
Seventh Methodist Assembly, Area
dia, July 1923. Have you seer them?
Unusually interesting entertainment
is promised. Bishop E. D. Mouzon, of
Dallas, Texas, has promised to be in
attendance several days. Bishop Mou-
zon is the youngest man in the Col
lege of Bishops and a strong man in
the pulpit or on the platform. Other
able divines will participate. Rev.
Clarence Burton will again have
charge of the music. This is expect
ed to be the banner Assemhly-both
in point of attendance and entertain
ment afforded.
The Seventh Methodist Assembly
will be held this year on July 9Th to
23d, at Arcadia, the regular campaign
grounds of Missouri Methodists. For
this occasion, Barrolls Orchestra, of
this city, has already been invited to
be the guests of the Assembly for the
second week, during which time they
are programmed for two concerts, on
the evening of July 18th and in the
afternoon of July 18th. Barroll's Or
chestra accepted a similar invitation
from the Assembly last year, and it
appears that they must have made a
lasting impression on their audience.

farms to get their bread and meat.
No man need be surprised, added
Secretary Houston. At the drift of pop
ulation to the cities The surprise Is
that any man who has regard for the
future of his children will remain in
the country at all. IL he can possibly
get away. The cry, back to the
country" proceeds chiefly from those
who are comfortably fixed in the city
city continues. the time Is coming
when both city and country win wake
up to the stern realization that land
without population is wilderness,
and population without land q mob"
These sentiments of a tested leader
represent the best thought of the ma
ton.
This is my simple, brief message to
you, my fellow virginians. II any
one Is tempted to say that I have in
this appeal failed to stress the re-
ligious factor in Commonwealth build
ing, l say to him that 1 regard this
factor as fundamental to every sound
educational system. No Christian Com
monwealth has yet stood for Goddess
training. There is, / dare to say, not
public school in Virginia. from our
great State university all the way down
to the most remote one-room school,
that stands for Goddess training
whether in theory or in practice. 1t
is caiumny to put the matter in any
different way. AS a matter of fact,
religion itself awaits universal edu-
cation. The church is at war with
Mammon. IL she is TO do battle with
monsters. she must learn to wear the
dress OF Hercules. Men must be able
to understand the great cardinal doc
trines Of religion IL they are sincerely
to accept them. The public schools
do stand squarely against any policy
that would attempt to "paralyze the
head in order to vitalize the heart"
That is stupid. impossible thing to
do. On the other hand, there is moth
ing In the entire history of the public
schools to justify the charge that they
are teaching our youth to doubt their
beliefs and to believe their doubts';
that they are changing the sign of
Christendom from a cross to an inter-
rogation point: that they are at
I tempting to set up doubt as a sign Of
mental agility and faith as a symptom
of mental decrepitude. The simple
fact Is that the public school system
is the most powerful ally of every
force that Is working in this country
for the coming OF that day of univer-
sal wisdom and righteousness. fore
seen by seers and divinely promised.
toward which it is the glory of our
age to be marching with strenuous
