Missouri, the patriarch of states
west of the Mississippi is a big
state with real boundary lines.
When you get out of it you can
notice the difference without
looking at the map. 1t has tenn
permanent, history, pride and a
sense of humor. Missouri people
get more fun out of talking about
Missouri than they do by going to
comic opera. Missouri is one of
our national pleasantries and
helps make life happier in this
commercial and busy nation.
Missouri is plain, downright
old-fashioned state, anc lruad
of it. 1t has almost three and a
half million people, divided into
two classes-those who call the
state "Mizzoury" and love it and
those who call it Missouri and
wish it had more society and less
mules. 1t is the seventh state in
population, the third in corn,
ninth in railroads, sixth in num-
Der of school children, first in
mules and first in incredulity.
Owing to the passion which Mis-
sourians have for ''being shown"
and for showing each other up,
politics in the state has been an
earnest and wakeful operation
for the last 70 years.
Missouri is modern at the east
ern end in st. Louis and at its
western end in Kansas City. It is
also being modernized in the legis-
lature at Jefferson City, the cap
ital. 1t is historic along the Mis-
sissippi with French accent, I'M
reconstructed in Clay county, and
primitive in the Ozarks. where the
locomotive is less familiar to the
children than the Ozarks. It is
drilled into two parts by the rest
less Missouri river and by the To-
cal option fight. 1t has produced
Mark Twain, the James boys, Jo-
seph Folk, Adolphus Bush, the sci
ence of osteopathy and the Demo-
cratic hymn, "They gotta quit
kickin my dog aroun'." Missouri
is so backward that antebellum
picnics are still held in some parts
and is so advanced that when an
octopus reaches tenacle across
the state line, said tenacle is cut
off and hung up in the state as a
trophy.
Missouri was settled $50 years
ago. but has remained unsettled
ever since. 1t fought itself Wig
orously in the Civil War, and has
been revolving politically of late
with extreme rapidity. 1t was
once the fifth state in population
in the union, but has been passed
by Massachusetts and Texas, ow- =.
ng to the vast number of Missou-
'ians who have strayed across the
tate line at Kansas City and St.
louis and have settled on subur-

wanted a job and they thought
there might be something coming.

r ONION, Jan. 5.-C10:3O p. M
l. The British government today
definitely embarked upon a policy Of
compulsory military service when
Premier Asquith submitted to the
house of commons a bin drafting
eligible unmarried men to military
duty and championed the measure in
a stirring speech on the necessity Of
this step to meet the growing CNigcn-
cies of the war.
The scene within the house Of com
mons was one of the most notable
in the history of that body with the
benches packed with members, all
the ministerial seats occupied and
the galleries overlooking.
With the prospect of a keen duel
between the prime minister and his
former colleague, Sir John A. Simon,
over the momeDtous issue which
caused the late home sccrctary's res
ignation, the biggest assemblage
since the outbreak of the War faced
Mr.. Asquith when he introduced his
military service bill. Virtually the
only abscntecs were those who We're
debarred from attending by the milf
tary necessities. These to a man
favor compulsion, There was a feel
ing Of intense interest and anxiety
over the elimination Of the con
troVersy which has shaken the COun-
try as no other even since the war
began,

Why Tolerate CataHh?

You have noticed, no doubt, that any
cold aggrayates nasal catarrh, and the
flow Of mucous amazes you that such
Objectionable matter could find lodg
ment in your head. To ignore this
catarrh when the cold subsidies is
wrong because it continues to slowly
injure the delicate Innings of the nasal
passages and clog them up.
To correct catarrh, cleanse the nos.
trils frequently with a solution of warm
water and salt, insert vaseline on re.
firing, and take a spoonful of SCOTS
Emulsion after meals for one month.
SCOTS acts through the blood to feed
the tissues, and contains soothing
~glycerine to check the inflammation
and heal the sensitive membranes.
Scott is pleasant to take.

Memories Of Childhood.


In the Woman's Home Companion a
contributor writes an article on coun-
try life, entitled "Alderbrook Farm"
It is full of interesting facts and prac-
deal suggestions. In the course OF the
article the author tells the following
story and comments on 1t:
"My father on the old Ohio farm
used to have fixe&;dea that we must
always have green peas and new pota-
toes for dinner on the Fourth Of July.
He always worked toward that end
and rarely missed 1t. can well re-
member. too. how good those small,
tender. round potatoes used to taste all
cooked together with the peas in an
abundance Of cream.
at is odd how much of the enjoy
ment Of all such things comes from
purely psychological associations-from
the memories Of youth how much OF 1t,
in. short, is pure imagination-simple
poetry. Many Of the joys Of country
life are of this poetic. imaginative sort.
Indeed. right here lies the point Of dis
agreement between those honest per-
sons who think farm life all drudgery
and those who think It all SO glorious.
The matter Of fact man or woman
finds everything hard enough, but the
person of Imagination, who can see the
poetry of life in simple things, finds
large rewards In country living.
