but in keeping with the culture and
social prestige manifest in the Valley.
In speaking of an appropriate Ioca-
tion for the "Ironton High" we take
the liberty in suggesting the "Emer-
son Grounds" for truly, herein lies
an ideal site, as it embraces spacious
park, embellished with grand old
forest trees, lake (nature's beauti-
full sheen,) a mineral spring, which
was discovered by the chief of the
Aborigines, who was the first explor-
er of the "Mystic Ozarks." The
spring was latercalled the "Poquaw,"
in honor of the great Indian chief.
In addition to the Emerson Grounds
being associated with historical and
traditional incidents, there is an i'm
posing statue of Gen. U. S. Grant;
also olden artillery, etc., which lends
patriotism to this grand old park SO
picturesque in its natural Sc tting.
The palatial residence on the
grounds could be utilized to great
advantage, in the way of special class
rooms, a library, a recital hall, etc.,
and as previously mentioned, the loca-
tion embraces natural park, hence
the expense saved in this regard,
could be appropriated to the building
proper, thus giving prominence to
the "Ironton High" as suggested by
Mr.. Louis Miller, an architectural
genius and the foremost promoter oi
Arcadia. Iona OF THE OZARFs.

Republican politicians of st. Louis
representing the brewers have been
looking over the Republican candi-
dates for Governor. John Swanger
recently submitted himself to them
for examination and approved. TO
date no Democratic candidate has
presented himself to the brewery
bunch for inspection. This arrogant
element is chiefly Republican and
knows that the Republican party is
the party of tender care for the
special privilege interests and in
different concern for the masses.

In MeInOriam.

In memoriam felicem Elma, below
ed daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Wiley
Roberts, of Des Arc, Mo. Only one
short year ago the entire commun-
ity was shocked and grieved to hear
of the untimeiy death of Elma j.
Roberts. Surrounded by loving
friends, the full glow of life upon her,
her onward and future path seemed
strewed with flowers of happiness, but
how little do we know, and how blest
we are not to know; otherwise this
would be one continuous Vale of
Tears and grief, and all unknown the
JOYS we now snatch from the unre-
renting hand of Fate. To her the
noon of life but came as an usher to
the endless night. All! tits wondrous-
ly pitiful!
The deceased leaves father, moth
er, two brothers, four sisters and a
host of relatives and friends to mourn
her departure. Elma, if we could only
call you back to us! Oh! how we
loved you! None knew but to love,
tnone named but to praise.
Fair month of May, when Nature is
all atune, the birds sweetly caroling,
the flowers waiting their fragrant per-
fume on the breezes of morning
twas this month o. May that fair Ell
ma left US to try the realities of a
world unknown and untried. How
sad it is! OF her itmay be truly said:
lssHer sun went down while it was yet
Iday.n so, Death, 0 Death, where is
thy sting? And o Grave, art thou the
victor?" But only the soothing hand
of Time can allay the sting that
smites the heart.
Dear Elma, you are gone; yes gone;
but our memory of you shall ne'er
fade, for we can almost but see you.
How hard it is for us to realize that
the tomb conceals thy dear form!
Pure as the flowers we placed above
her,
Those emblems of innocence fair to
view;
In Death, as in Life, we shall always
i love her,
4, Our gentle Elma, SO faithful, so true
The wild birds join in tuneful pealing
With out-spread wings, which light
ly wave,
Their clearest, sweetest notes reveal
ing,
To sing their requiem o'er he
grave.

in a hopeless tangle In few words,
the Governor showed the utter falsity

impossibility of their dire prophesies
concerning the same coming to pass.

Now that the kaiser and the better
elements of Germany have fully and
frankly acknowledged the justice Of
President Wilson's demands and the
German government specifically
promised to comply with them, the
critics of the administrations policy
and those bowling that the neutrality
of our government is false, are left in
a sorry predicament. They ought to
have cecency enough to take their
copperhead principles and slinkaway
