Attention is called to an appeal
to be found in another column Of this
paper-of the Board of Trustees of
the Elmwood Home for Orphan and
Homeless Children. This institution,
located in our midst, is peculiarly To-
cal, although statewide in its mis-
sion, and is as deserving as it is wor-
thy Of the aid and encouragement of
every man and woman in St. Francois
county. In helping to provide home
for the orphaned, you are honoring
the spirit of Him who said, "Suffsr
little children to come unto Me and
forbid them not, for of such is the
kingdom Of heaven. Il is not only
a Christian. but patriotic, duty and
privilege to help our little homeless
ones. Won't you help?

prosperity of community depend to
very large extent upon good pub
lie highways,
Whereas, the farmers of st. Fran
co.'s County, Mo-, can obtain good
permanet roads by paying a very
small per cent Of the cost,
Be it resolved, that the st. Francois
County Farm Bureau, recommend to
our County Court and to the people
of st. Francois county Good Roads
Bond Issue that will be adequate for
the building of good permanent roads
throughout the county.
2. Whereas, The present unsatis-
factory loan conditions keep many
from owning farms and operating
them successfully;
Be it resolved, that we, the st.
Francois County Farm Bureau, en-
dorse the Gardiner State Land Bank
Act, which has recently passed our
State Legislature, and respectfully
ask the people of st. Francois county,
and of the State, to support the same
when it comes to vote at the gene
raj election this fall.
3. We, the business men of the
towns and farms of st. Francois
County, heartily endorse the spirit
OF cooperation becoming so manifest
throughout Missouri and pledge our
cordial support tc the movement by
an earnest endeavor to better COM
munity conditions in st. Francois
county, and by hearty cooperation
with other communities for the de-
velopment of Missouri's resources.
We especially endorse the plan of
the State Federation of Clubs to pro-
vide the State University with Wis
ual library to be used in all phases
of community betterment and en-
dorse the plan of the State Federation
to assist in the organization of the va
rious counties of Missouri along more
systematic lines for the greater de-
velopment of the States resources,
and for the betterment of living con-
ditions.

THE JOY OF "CoMTNG BACK"

If The Times editor felt in need of
any additional "glad hand" to make
him feel that his friends in Missouri
were pleased to welcome his return to
this grand old State, he was certainly
given that member in st. Louis last
week when he attended the banquet
given by the Democratic State Com
mittee to the Democratic editors of
this State.
There we again met many splendid
friends of former days, not only
among the newspaper "gang," but
other friends, from many sections of
the State. And the manner in which
they welcomed us created the feeling
that they were almost as much pleas
ed to have us back among them, as
we were TO be back, after a ten years
absence from the State.
While we do not intend TO advise
others to undergo a similar undertake
ing to what we have gone through, it
really makes us feel well nigh repaid
for the loss of ten long years resi-
dence in this splendid old common
wealth to experience the pleasures
that came to The Times editor by the
welcome that was given him by many
old friends. 1t caused such swelling
of the heart as to eliminate any
cookies that may have been gathering
there. Hereafter, Missouri is the on
ly State for US, and we are doubly
fortunate in "beating back" to be-
come located in the best county in the
State-though the poorest of them
would look like Paradise after an alb
sence similar to ours.

Polite Elvins of this county is an
aspirant for the position Of National
Republican Committeeman from this
State. Mr.. Niedringhaus of St
Louis is the present Committeeman.
There are two other aspirants for the
place, Jess Tolerton, former Governor
Hadley's chief lieutenant, and Otto
F. Stifel Of st. Louis. But Polite is
something of a hustler and wire ma
nipulator, and is a standpatter among

The County Farm Bureau has start
ed campaign to increase its mem
bership, as may be seen by Farm Adj
wiser Frances report in this issue of
The Times. Membership is not con-
fined to farmers, but business men,
professional men, and men in all call
ings are invited and urged to become
members. The movement is not only
for better farm methods, which ac-
crue to the advantage Of all, but to
encourage a community of interests
that will be beneficial in many ways
promoting sociality, larger in
fiuence in public affairs, wholesome
legislation, local improvements, etc.
Take hold of this enterprise, merchant,
lawyer, doctor, mechanic, everybody,
and get all the good that is in it out
of it. The st. Francois County Farm
Bureau has proved the livest wire of
any in the State-keep the current on,

COMMEND PRESIDENT
ON STAND TAKEN
FOR AMERICAN RIGHTS

The Missouri Democratic Press AS
sociation, at the banquet given its
members in st. Louis last Friday
night by the State Democratic Com
mittee, by a rising vote adopted the
following resolution indorsing Pres
ident Wilson in his stand on Ameri-
can rights under international law
against which Congress threatened to
revolt last week:
Resolved, That the Democratic ed
itors of Missouri, in convention as
sembled, do most heartily indorse the
stand taken by President Wilson with
respect to the assertion Of American
rights under international law. We
agree with him that if expediency
should be allowed to take the place of
principle one humiliation would fol-
low another and the whole fabric Of
international law might crumble I'M
der our hands. Processing cur de-
votlon to peace at any cost save that
of honor, We renew expressions Of
confidence in his ability to save this
nation from war without suffering
the rights of its citizens under the
law of nations to be violated or
abridged. Recognizing the fact that
his services in the cause of peace and
mutual good understanding between
nations in a time of world war have
been of priceless value to humanity,
we desire formally to record our un-
measured confidence in his wisdom
and his courage in this hour of de-
cision. We pledge our support to the
uttermost in any step he may find it
necessary to take in order to main
tain the honor of the United States of
America among the nations"

Ninety-Six counties in Missouri re-
ceived more money back from the
State than they paid to the State in
taxes in 1915. Only nineteen counties
paid into the State treasury more
money than they received back from
the State. For instance, st. Fran
co.'s County paid to the State in tax
es $24,229.S4, and received back in
school, road and other appointments,
$37,57156. The State government
certainly hasn't cost this county any
thing.

BUSINESS UNIVERSITY NOTES

Mrs. T. w. Byington of Pennington
was one Of our visitors this week.
We are pleased to report the con-
tinued demand for stenographers in
st. Louis and elsewhere is as good or
better than we have ever known it
during our years of business college
work. Our employment agencies in
st. Louis during the past weeks plac-
ed in good paying positions the fol-
lowing students: Joseph Huber of
Weingarten; Warden and William
Moothart of Pennington; Raymond
Vogt of Avon, and Fred Lynde of
Flat River. Surely this should act as
a special incentive for young people
of Southeast Missouri to learn short
hand and bookkeeping, which will act
for them as stepping stone to great
er opportunities in the business and
professional world.
On a special examination given last
Friday, using words of general ma
ture, VIM. 0'Sullivan secured rank
one, with Floyd Halter and Carroll
Phillips dividing second honors,
while those receiving special mention
in order of rank on a special exami-
nation given from the regular SPELL
ing book, on Tuesday Of this week,
are, Floyd Halter, VIM. 0'SulIivan,
Irene Ware, Lionel Rehkop, Dewey
Zolman, Mamie Wheeler, Lawrence
Higgins and Alva Womack. Final
arithmetic examination; Vim. O'Sul-
livan, first and Bryan Halter, second.
On the weekly Gold Medal type
writing contest held last Friday, the
school now competing as body, with
divisions discarded, Miss Mamie
Wheeler ranked first, with Miss Nam
ME Farmhouse and Harry Sheets di-
viding honors for second.
Miss Lydia Hinze, owing to illness,
was detained at her home near Bis
marck last week but is performing
her regular school duties at present.

the Standardization of agricultural
products;
That the United States Department
