The Power Of The Press.

"But the most universal agency in
spreading the message OF the Thrift
and Savings Moveme MT has been the
Press. In metropolitan daily and in
country weekly have appeared un-
counted news columns and editorial
articles. The patriotic service of
those who direct the policy OF the
American Press has never yet re-
ceived its due praise, and in winning
the nation away from wastefulness
there is but given an added demonstra-
tion OF high purpose and broad vision"
The above paragraph is taken from
an address delivered by William
Mather Lewis, Director of the Saw
ings Division, Treasury Department.
The Eighth Federal Reserve District,
which is among the leaders in the
sale Of Treasury Savings Certificates
and War Savings Stamps, could not
have made the splendid record it did
had not the pressof Missouri, Arkansas
and kentucky given the support il

In Honor of Virgie McClary.

Virgie McClary, second daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert McClary, was
born February 9th, 1905 and departed
this life February 12, 1920, aged 15
years and 6 days. She united with
the NJ. e. church south at Belleview,
Mo. September 1st, 1918, and was an
active member of the Christian En-
devor society at Caledonia. Aer life
was one OF purity, simplicity and sin
cerity and to know her was to love
her. Her sweet, genial disposition
and desire and Willingness to help
others won for her host of friends.
In home and in school she seemed as
a ray of sunshine and her exceedingly
bright and shining face is one always
to be remembered. Though it seems
to her schoolmates that she seldom
had a serious thought yet in her heart
and mind was d secret spark which
threw its rays upon q quiet, shady
path Of Heavenly things, and direct
cd her young and promising life in
that way which leads to life Eternal
BY her death the Church, community,
Christian Endeavor Society and
School have indeed suffered most
severe loss, and place is left vacent
which can never be refilled.
She leaves to mourn her death a
mother, father, four sisters, and two
brothers, beside many relatives and
| friends.

Women Want Political Facts.

Women who have not yet voted
are showing an inclination to listen to
partisan pleas in the most openmind-
ed manner. In many parts of the
country club women and members of
various important organizations, phil
anthropic and civic, are giving speak
ers from each political psrty the
best opportunities to present their
views.
Mrs. George Bass, chairman of the
Woman's Bureau, Democratic Ma
tional Committee, was the guest re-
Gently of South Bend, Ind, women
who had invited her to speak. She
went expecting to talk from the plat
form of hall or assembly but
found herself the guest at formal
dinner, which had been arranged BY
Mrs. Anne Studebaker Carlisle, Leaf

Pageant To Celebrate States Birthday.

Columbia, Mo-, February 2s.-Tie
fact that Missouri will be 100 years
old as state this year will be the
occasion of many celebrations, not
the least of which will be the masque
and pageant of Missouri history to be
given at Columbia on March II.
Representatives of the University of
Missouri, of the State Historical
Society and of the Columbia Com
mercial Club are making plans for
the program.
A thousand different costumes will
be used, and four hundred persons
will take part, amongs them many
University students.
The pageant will represent the
history of Missouri in prologue,
five historical episodes and masque.
The theme of the whole will be the
motto from the state seal, s'Let the
safety of the people be the supreme
law"
In the prologue, Time and Missouri
River win speak prophetically of the
commonwealth to be developed. The
spirits of the hills and waters will
celebrate in dances their possession
of land, but will shrink back at the
approach of civilization. Then will
come the Spanish adventurers lured
by the spirit of gold. With the com
ing of religion and trade, vision of
Missouri appears.
The prologue will be followed by
FIVE historical scenes: The Found
ing of Ste. Genevieve, The Louisiana
Purchase, The Admission of Missouri
to Statehood, The Mexican War, and
The Civil War. The period from the
Civil War to 1920 will be represented
in masque, the first part of which
shows all the world bringing to Mis-
souri,. at the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position, the fruit of peace. Part two
will show Missouri forsaking peace,
furnishing men and leadership, with
other states of the Union, for the
world war.
