HYDE MAY CALL
ELECTION SHORTLY
Governor Will Confer with Leaders as
To Date for Selecting Delegates
To Constitutional Convention.

Springfield, Septembcr 1.-Gover-
nor Arthur Hyde, when in Springfield
yesterday, said he had not decided
when he would call the election for
the choosing of delegates to the stare
constitutional convention. The COVER
nor intimated, however, that an an
nouncement probably would be made
in short time.
A conference between the governor
and st. Louis citizens, who are es-
pecially interested in the constitution
al convention, will be held in St.
Louis today.
Under the law passed by the legis
lature providing for the recent election
on the question of whether consti-
tutional convention should be held
the governor is empowered to call
the election for selecting delegate and
is limited only to date, not less than
three months not more than six
months after the holding of thespecial
election.
The special election which author
lied the constitutional convention was
held on August 2, which means that
the election of delegates must be
held on day between November
and February 2.
The law provides that two delegates
one Republican and one Democrat,
are 10 be elected from each senatorial
district, and Is delegates, without ref
erence to party affiliation, are to be
elected at large. This will give the
convention total membership of SO
delegates.

MAKES APPEAL
FOR UNIT BILL
Governor Says Biggest Problem Is to
Keep Boys and Girls on Farms.

Springfield, Sept. 1.-Declarine
that the county unit bill was the hope
for the rural schools of Missouri, Gov
ernor Arthur NJ. Hyde outlined the
measure in detail in his speech before
the fifth annual convention of the
Missouri Farmers association yester-
day afternoon at Convention hall and
pledged his untiring efforts to see the
measure made success.
eve will not back up on the meas
ure. If it is defeated you will have to
defeat it," he said.
"The biggest problem this gener-
alton has to deal with is to keep the
boys and girls happy and contented on
the farm. The two problems we are
directly interested in are better trans
portation facilities and better rural
schools. But we found the school sys-
tenn was not all that we desired"
He quoted from finding of the
Russell Sage foundation that Missouri
ranked as "a among the states in
school standing. In literacy the state
ranks as II and on the amount Of
money spent per capita 30th, he said.
$50 long as the boys asld girls of
this state haven't as good an oppor-
tunity as the boys and girls of other
states something ought to be done.
"There are $3.50 school districts in
this state. Of this number $500 are
rural districts with an average of 80
to the county. They average less than
200 pupils to the district. The country
boy is getting 121 school days each
year and the city school pupils 17O
days. We found the country school
was a one-room building. The city
schools employ specialists as teachers
and have extensive equipment, while
the country schools are absolutely
barren and denied on any thing of that
sort.
"The state is founded on one institu
ton, the family, When you solve this
problem you have solved the problem
Of the state and nation.
"The question of progress is the
7destion Of how much people are will
ing to pay for the progress. If we
want the most forward looking school
system let's make up our minds we are I
Wiling to pay for them"
Continuing to quote statistics to
prove his statement, Governor Hyde
aid that there were S25 rural school
districts in the state with an assessed f.
aluation so low that the counties
ould only raise S125; that there were
SO districts that could only raise $500 !
chool money each year and 5,511 dis
licts that could only raise $500 to !
upport schools.

In this earthly home of ours
We watched with pride from day tc

Thy growth into a flower
More than we, God loved our gem
That he to us had given
And took you, dear, to live with him,
To bloom for aye in heaven.
Away from earth and all its cares
Away from sin and all its snares
Away to heaven the home of the soul
Away, away, to the streets of gold,
A precious one from us has gone
The voice we loved is stilled
A place is vacant in our home
That never can be filled.

'ONE of the prime requisites in play
~ ing the game of association football
(socccrl is that Of being in physical

save his legs by the use Of his brain
but with the usual run Of teams there
Is not much done in the way OF con-
serving cncrgy--rathcr there Is un-
necessary waste of II.
The average player stars off in the
fall in his first game, and discovers
that the ball becomes very heavy, then
the legs get heavy and the player be-
comes so tired he can hardly move
around. II never occurs to him that
his wind is not in shape and because
Of that hig legs and feet become leaden.
The next day or the day after, he plays
again and Is amazed to find how light
his legs are and how light the ball IS.
He finds he can last the first half with
out distress. but the second half il
nearly as bad ms tho first game, and
il he plays often enough and long
enough he finds that playing the whole
game does not bother him at all due
to the fact that he is getting into con

the players and is there for the purpose,
of enforcing the law and deciding all

The referees job is comparatively
