and these are looked after spiritually
by more than 10000 ministers" says
an official announcement from the
State Liberty Loan Organization
More and more it is becoming appar-
ent to these churches that their very
existence as free bodies, moving with
in a free state. is one of the things at
stake in this. war.
"The time has come for every Amer
ican church, whose freedom to wor-
ship according to the dictates of con-
science was bought with precious blood
in the Revolutionary War, to line up
with the American Government that
has assured and protected that liberty
these 40 years or more. Secretary
McAdoo is making his appeal as a
God-fearing American to the pastors
to bring their influence, nationally
speaking, to bear upon their fiocks in
the great drive now under way for the
successful f1otation of Third Liberty
bonds.
THE Secretary has chosen a stra-
tegic time for a national Liberty Loan
Sunday, which will be two weeks be-
fore the end of the campaign. 1t is
just about that time in a campaign
like the present one when jealous peo-
pie are likely to be overconfident and
let up on their efforts to put the Third
Liberty Loan over. The clergy are to
be an important factor in urging their
folk onward and upward in the good
fight. They can devote entire sermon
periods to the issues involved. They
can get behind liberty committees in
their parishes, to see that they have
rounded up the slackers and laggards,
showing them their Christian duty in
the matter.
THAT Secretary McAdoO's letter will
have its desired effect. is a foregone
conclusion"

On May 4, the West Campus will b.
transformed into a scene such as wa
witnessed in ancient Rome when th'
great procession of citizens, garland
ed in flowers, paid homage to theil
goddess Flora with songs, dances ant
games in commemoration of the re
birth of the flowers. The scene thii
year is not only the celebration OF thu
return of the flowers, but also a re
view of Missouri from her earlies
days. The event is especially in com
memoration of the time, a hundred
years ago, when she knocked at The
door of the Union for entrance into
statehood. Let us review the scene:
Enter, the Seasons-Spring, Sum
mer, Fall, and Winter, who dance il
and out from the Columns. They stay
with us long time, for they represent
the continuity of time, but finally the
Red Men come in a procession, anC
the seasons recline on the mound be-
for the Columns, and watch the visit
ors. But the Indians are ont allowed
to stay in peace, for the Spanish ex-
plOrers come, lured by gold. A chief
from the Indians leads them in, and
the spirits of gold, sylph-like maidens
dance before them. fiinging gold be-
fore their envious eyes. But now the
hearts of the new explorers fail them
They are afraid to come into this new
and wild country, but the tempting
spirits of gold and the Indian chief
lure them on. After them enter the
French and the Jesuit priests with
Indian guides. They do not dance, but
chant. While they are chanting they
form a group around the Columns.
sFrench Maidens Enter.
The visitors evidently like their sur
roundings, for now comes a period of
settlement. First. the French, twelve
Notwithstanding maidens they
are, for they wear their tiny French
aprons. But they dance very beauti-
fully. The English settlement is more
largely represented, for there are
thirty here. Medieval England and
Tudor England were very observant of
the celebration of the May Day festi-
val. They bring with them in this
scene the May pole garlanded with
flowers and ribbons and dance around
it.
Now appear the settlers from the
Emerald Isle, dressed in green, and
carrying packs swung from sticks.
The Irish maidens also dance. But
the Germans do not dance. They
bring to Missouri the German songs,
mostly Christmas songs, so they mere
ly sing.
Then Missouri Miss Mary McDan-

tives of the settlements. who tell what

souri, comes down smilingly, greet:
and crows her, and leads her up to tht
throne, but before the May Queer
mounts the throne, all the subjects di
her homage by kneeling. When they
arise, they sing her spring songs, and
the company curves around her and
marches out, and she follows them.
Now the scene shifts. We come to
the present day. In 1871, the first
woman was graduated at Missouri
After her, others came. They pass in
their scholastic caps and gowns. Then
come the seniors in their simple white
dresses. These are attended by juniors
who carry the Missouri pennant on a
staff and the accompanying seniors
cap and gown. The seniors and ju-
niors are grouped in three concentric
circles around the throne, with the
alumnae behind. The alumnae take the
robes from the juniors and robe the
seniors. Everyone sings "Old Mis-
souri,"
May is the time when nature breaks
out into her greatest beauty. So joy
full and admiring a feeling is excited
in the human breast that the event
has from the very earliest times been
celebrated in some way The first
emotion is the desire to seize some
part of that profusion of flowers and
blossoms which spread around us. to
set ii up in decorative fashion, to
pay it a sort of homage and to let the
pleasure it eXcites find expression in
dance and song. With this is mingled
the sense of Divine goodness which
makes the promise of the seasons so
stable and so sure.
The Roman Ceremony.
The Roman used to sacrifice on May
1, and they went in procession to the
grotto of Egeria. From April % to
May %, festical was held in honor
of Flora, goddess of flowers. In Eng
land, the people went forth early in
the morning and brought flowers at
sunrise with an accompaniment of

riment they decorated every door and
window in the villages. The fairest
maid of the village was crowned Queen
of the May. Even the king and queen
joined in the festivities. We know
that, in the reign of Henry VIII, the
king and his heads of corporate Lon
don went out in the high grounds of
Kent to celebrate the May fete. In
England. the May pole was erected
and used from year to year. The last
pole set up in England was in 1861 by
twelve British sailors under the per-
sonal supervision of James II, then
Duke of York. and Lord High Admiral
in the Strand. Within the last CEN
tury, the celebration has been con-
fined to the chimney sweeps in Lon
don, who decorate with green and
dance to the music of fife and drum
for a few pence flung to them by the
passer-by. Also, the milkmaids in
rural England garland their cows
with flowers and lead them, while 9TH
ers dance around the animals amid
the sound of yiolins and clarinets.
Not only England and Rome, but
every nation had its way of celebrat-
ing May. AS early as 1928, France
celebrated the May time by exhibitions
and games.

MUCH RHEUMATISM
Local Druggists No-cure No-Pa,
 Offer Attracts Many Sufferers

If there are any rheumatic sufferers in town, who have not availed them selves of Lee & Osgood's generous off, fer. they should do so at once.
 They state that if Rheuma, the guar anteed prescription flor rheumatism, does not give any purchaser quick and joyful relief, they will return the purchase price without any quibbling or red tape.
 Rheumatism is a dangerous disease, and anyone who has the slightest taint of it should drive it from the system as soon as possible. Read what Rheu- ma did for this sufferer:
 For five years I suffered with artic- ular rheumatism, having punches on my elbows. feet and wrists. I took everything I could get. with no relief. l saw your adv. and was greatly inn proved before I had used two bottles, and was. cured before had finished the third. I thank God for Rheuma and that I am free from rheumatism today, If anyone wishes information from me l will write them. I think Rheuma is a miracle. Mrs. Lucia Ryder, 102 Gilbert street.
