A Test For an Audrain Boy to The
State Fair-County Teachers In
School This Summer.
BY W. CLYDE JOHNSON.

T. j. Walker, Rural School In
spector, has written me that I am to
select boy to represent Audrain
County at the Missouri State Fair at
Sedalia September 1929, 1917. The
boy must pay his railroad fare to Sc
dalia and return. While there he is
guest of the State Board, and all
his expenses are paid by the State.
Each morning he attends a school of
instruction but the afternoons and
evenings are spent in seeing things of
interest. Those interested should
meet me at Mcmillan High School
Building Friday, August 3rd. You
may come either in the morning or
the aftrnooen as suits you best.
There will be short written test of
five questions on Geography, Arith-
metic and Grammar and a subject on
Agriculture to write a short essay
of 200 or ESQ words-Selecting and
Testing Seed Corn.
In past years, five boys have gone
Frank Whitley, Laddonia; James
B. Crosswhite, Clark; Charlie Ar
mold, Jr., Mexico; John Day, Next
co, and Stanley Wilson, Moline.
Each one had the time of his life.
Ask him about it. Last year two
went. Only one can go this year.
Will you be the one? Teachers, par
ents, do you want your boy to go?
Speak to him about it. 1t is open to
all farm boys from 10 to II years
Then be on hands at Mcmillan Fri
day, August 9rd.

sented in the different summer

duty, gentlemen of the congress,
which / have performed In thus adj
dressing you. There are, 1t may be,
many months of fiery trial and sacri-
fee ahead Of is. 1t is a fearful thing
to lead this great, peaceful people into
war, into the most terrible and disas-
trous of all wars, civilization itself
seeming to be in the balance. But
the right is more precious than peace
and we shall fight for the things which
we have always carried nearest our
hearts-for democracy, for the right of
those who submit to authority to have
a voice in their own governments, for
the rights and liberties of small ma
lions, for a universal dominion of
right by such a concert Of free peoples
al shall bring peace and safety to all
nations and make the world itself at
last free.
ITO such a task we can dedicate
u lives and our fortunes, everything
that we are and everything that we
have, with the pride of those who
know that the day has come when
America is privileged to spend her
blood and her might for the principles
that gave her birth and happiness and
the peace which she has treasured.
God helping her, she can do no
other"
