CHOOSE
COLUMBIA FOR
1922 CONVENTION

At the closing session of the Mis-
souri, Drummers' Association conven-
ton Saturday morning it was decided
to hold the 1922 convention in Col
unbia. Sedalia also made a bid for
the gathering, but the vote was over
whelmingly in favor of Columbia.
The following officers were elected:
Ben Jenkins of Sedalia, President;
Charles Cline of st. Louis, vice-pres-
idert; B. M. Payne of Columbia, Sec
rotary; and E. C. Darnell of Column
bia, Treasurer.
lAresolution was adopted condemn
ing the State Hotel Inspection Depart
rnetnt because they had only caused in
CREASED overhead in hotels that the
travelling men had been forced to bear.
The convention likewise condemned
tho Missouri Public Service Commits
SION for allowing too many increases
and recommended the abolition of the
commission.
Besides thanking the officers for the
splendid work they had done for the
Association in the past year the dele
gtates adopted a resolution thanking
everyone in Mexico who assisted in
making the convention a success.
The largest crowd Of the convention
lattended the big barbecue Friday
night and partook of the mutton of 80
sheep. Following that the delegates
were entertained at the Elks' Home
with a dance which was the livest in
many months. .

Appeal From Housekeepers for
Houseeieanlng Helpers.

An alarming shortage Of domestics
faced the housewives Of Louisville,
KY, when they began their spring
house-cleaning recently. Unable to do
all the scrubbing, window washing,
carpet beating and. sweeping them
selves, with the maids Of ante-bellum
days continuing their work In mills
and factories, the Louisville women
feared that their city would not be
spick and span for Derby day. Then
the American Legion posts Of the city
came to their rescue.

After a successful business exper-

years, Fred Sturdivant has sold his
grocery and meat business to Ross
Pedloe, of Saginaw, who, we under
stand, will take possession the first
of February. Mr.. Sturdivant has
done a thriving business here for
many years and feels that he is en-
titled to a little rest and recreation,
an opinion which will be shared by
everyone who knows how hard he has
worked All of these friends will be
as one in the hope that he may have
good health and be able to hunt up a
good time every day in the week and
year. His successor, we understand,
bought the stock only, the building
still remaining Mr.. Sturdivant's pro-
perty. We also understand that Mr..
Pedloe is an experienced man in that
line of trade and consequently will
be able to give the public prompt and
efficient service. We shall be glad
to give him hearty welcome to the
business circles of the village.

breaches TO PRISONERS

Rev. Joseph Dibley preached to the
prisoners in the county Jail last Sun
day and we are informed that it was
very eloquent sermon and enlisted
the closest attention on the part of
the prisoners. The service was held
in connection with the work of the
city mission. At the conclusion of
the address, we are told, Jack Ryan,
alleged gun man and self confessed
robber of the Clio State Bank, led a
quartet in singing hymns. 1t is said,
too, that Ryan is quite gifted as a
vocalist. What pity that men such
as he should get the perverted idea
that they can profit or attain happi-
ness through crookednes5. The re-
suits that follow evil doing are as
inevitable as those that follow the
planting of seed in the earth. 1t is
not what the criminal does to others
that reacts upon him; it is what he
does to himself. AS a result of his
criminality his soul, his manhood, be-
come a dwarfed and cooked thing,
source of shame and trouble, in
stead of being an outstanding, fear
less and beautiful thing, source of
pride and satisfaction to himself,
worthy Of kinship with the infinite
and Of the highest traditions of the
race.
