TO PICK BERRIES

Miss Mildred Pearl left Satur-
day for Richmond, where she will
meet nine girls, all of whom live at
Richmond. From there the unit will
go to S~arcoxie, No., to pick straw
berries. The girls will be ~chaperoned
by Mrs. Walter McNabb Miller of Co.
lumbia, well known in the United
States as a suffrage leader.
Miss Pearl will remain in Sarcoxie,
a great strawberry-growing commun-
ity, until the strawberry season is
over. The scarcity of male pickers is
due to the draft and the matter of OBJ
tanning women pickers has been made
a patriotic matter. As a result, there
has been a ready response from wom-
en- throughout the State. Miss Pearl
taught the second grade at Central
School during the last year.

"The Lessons Of the Flag"
Never before has the flag Of the

does today" Nh. Prosser said. "and
just since the stresses Of this present
war have we begun to learn the les
sons of the flag. The role that this
country is playing today in the af-
fairs Of the world clearly shows its
principles Of government" Mr.. Pros
ser went on.
Mr.. Prosser said that he was proud
of Audrain county for producing a
mar like Senator Whitley. He added
that st. Louis was also taking the
credit for having produced him.
However" he said, "Mr. Whitley was
born to be a senator, no matter from
what locality he came"
Speaking further of the flag. Mr..
Prosser said that it teaches the les
son Of peace. But" he said. there
can be no peace until the autocracy
of Germany and this damnable thing
called Kultur is crushed and complete
ly wiped out forever"
Mr.. Prosser's address was not only
n of the best patriotic addresses
ever heard in this city, but was deliv-
cred by n Of the best speakers who
has ever beenhere. His voice was clear,
round and full and could be heard
from any part Of the auditorium. He
held his listeners interest from his
