in 1929 Missouri formed state
government and applied for adj
mission TO the Union. Bitter an
tagonism Immediately arose in
congress against the addition of
another slave state. On the 9TH
er hand the slavery adherents
pointed out that Maine had just
been taken into the Union as a
free state and one state would
therefore balance the other. A
final settlement was made by the
famous Missouri compromise,
which accepted Missouri as a
slave state but prohibited slavery
in the rest OF the territory north
OF a line extending from the
southern boundary of Missouri
to the Rocky Mountains. In
deed, 1t was this agitation
which, temporarily smothered at
that time, burst forth in the Civ

Missouri is in the forefront
OF the important states in nation

electoral votes for president. It's
area is 1920 square miles.

first white men to see those lofty
landmarks which so appropri-
ately give this state its name.
This was in July, 1909, when
Champlain made his memorable
voyage up the lake now called
after him.
The first permanent settle
ment was made in 1924 at Brat
tleboro, where the Massachusetts
colony established fort as a
buffer against invasion from the
north. The territory used was
part Of what was known as the
Equivalent Lands" which were
sold at public auction In Hart
ford for about a farthing an
acre, the proceeds being donated
TO Yale college. Shortly after
this, settlers pushed eastward
from New York across Lake
Champlain and westward from
New Hampshire. This led to dis

such a brilliant part during the
Revolution.
In 1777 formal Constitution
for the state was adopted and
Yermonters are proud of the fact
that theirs was the first of the
states to prohibit slavery By
constitutional provision. For a

manned as a separate republic,
but in 1871 it was admitted to
the Union as the first addition to
the original thirteen states.
In size Vermont has 1854

cooked apple eaten at breakfast time
is natural cathartic, so with two ap-
piles a day, one at breakfast and the
other at night, one will be healthy and
wise, IL not wealthy. 1t has been said
by those who have made a study of
such things, that the teeth are pre-
served by the eating Of an apple at
night, followed by good brushing,
which protects them from the action
of bacteria during the night. The lem
on is another good fruit to have with
you at all times; taken internally or
externally it is good partner to the
apple. If the skin is sallow, take the
juice Of half lemon In a glassful of

the lemon is one that can be used with
