Diving, for the Blind.

A new and profitable occupa-
ton for many Of the blind in Eng.
land is deep water diving, as sug-
gested by the chairman of the
committee for the care of the
blind. He says that in many
waters where the diving is neces-
sary there is total darkness, and
even where there is water clear
enough for the light, the water is
so disturbed by the diver, that it
is almost impossible to see through
it. Deep water divers are we'll

when they are on the surface. 1t

A Little Thing to Remember.

Next to the governorship, Cor
|nelius Roach holds the most i'm
portant position in the state gov
eminent of Missouri. His office
is great feeder of the state treas
ury, the licenser and the legal
whip Of the great business and
corporate interests, and the COM
piler Of vital facts in Missouri s
life and history.
Before Mr.. Roach took this i'm
portant office, he spent years
getting intimately acquainted
with Missouri and her people. He
knows the state from circumfer-
ence to center, from Pe1niscot to
Nodaway and from the Kansas
line to the Mississippi.
He attends strictly to his Off
cial duties. He is content to serve
the people, rather than to follow
the spot light. His personal con-
duct is above reproach. His Of
ficial record is straight as dye.
There are other men who might
show up better in dress parade.
There are those who might get
their peculiarities, their vanities
and their idiosyncrasies written
up more unanimously in the city
papers. But there are no others
now in the race for governor, who
know one-half as much about the
official and work-a-day end Of
the job as Cornelius Roach.
Please remember this when you
consider the governorship.-La-
