HENRY FORD HAS
 ANOTHER BIG IDEA

Henry Ford has launched upon a new enterprise, that of glass mak- ing.
 The manufacturer has established here and begun to operate plant that will produce glass for automo- bile windshields. It is said to be the first plant in the country designed especially for making of wind shields,
 The Ford production slogan Keep things moving" Is playing a large part in the new methods introduced by the manufacturer in his latest field of endeavor. A continuous conveyor system makes iu possible for the glass to be kept continually moving from the time it leaves the furnace in liquid form until it be- comes a polished windshield.
 The molten glass is drawn from the furnace and passes under a roller that gives if width and thick ness, and then upon moving con- veyor that carries 1t 464 feet through a gradually cooling furnace. At the end it is out and placed on another conveyor that carries it through the stages of grinding and polishing, afte:' which it is ready for use.

the beach this season is the refuse discarded there by those who have beach parties and picntcs. During the last few seasons signs prohibited beach parties near all the bath houses but this year these signs have been removed and the consequence is that refuse is scattered all over the place.
 The health officials will also inves- .tigate this matter because it is rnore Of a menace and danger to the health of the public than the leaving of bot ties around. Both are bad enough but of the two evils the authorities will choose the lesser, that is, remov- ing the bottles.
 Down the beach in the section where the cottages are located, the owners and residents of the cottages keep their places in wonderful con- 'd1tion and keep them tAe way they would their own homes. It would be well if some of the bath house owners would follow suit, because they would not be only doing the public good but it would also be for *heir own welfare.

NATIONAL
ORGANIZER
SPEAKS HERE

About thirty members of the Mex
leo Democratic Women's Club heard
the address by Mrs. Thornton Brown.
of Joplin, national organizer Of DEM
ocratic women, in Hardin Park
Thursday afternoon.
Mrs. Brown discussed the plan Of
organization perfected by Mrs. Emily
Newell Blair Of the National Com
mittee, which provides for Demo
cratic clubs in every county. This
plan was accepted some time ago In
Audrain County and is proving sue
cessful. 1t is believed that when the
organization of the county is perfect
ed the Democratic women's club will
number over 1000 members.
Mrs. Brown spoke of the necessity
of teaching women the principles of
the Democratic party and making
them feel that they are citizens of
the United States and it is their duty
to vote. The great task according
to Mrs. Brown, is to reach the indif-
ferent woman She also spoke of the
$4,000 negro women in the state, who
will in the majority of instances vote
thoughtlessly and impressed the nee
iessity of educated women offsetting
this influence.
Mrs. Brown is travelling wei the
State speaking and holding confer
ence with the leaders in every con-
~gressional district.
1t was decided that there should be
a weekly luncheon for the members Of
the Democratic Women's Club and
Mrs. R. M White, Mrs. Walker Pol
lock and Mrs. c. E. Leeper were ap-
pointed a committee to make the nee
essary arrangements.
An ice ear supper will be held
June 20 in Hardin Park for the pur-
pose of raising money for the work
of the club. The county candidates
for office will be asked to speak Of
this time.

4 HISTORY OF
OLD SEMINARY
NOW WRITTEN

XXI
There has been much speculation
in the past just how old the Semin-
airy building which is now a part Of
Hardin College, really is. And at the
request of DR.. s. J. Vaughn, pres
ident, the former students Of the
school have been preparing a short
history which will be filed in the
archives Of the College.
Especial credit must. go to Mrs.
]. F. Llewellyn and Mrs. Mamie
Clark Craig, who from the richness
of their experiences, and by their
especial efforts this history is made
possible.
1t is as follows:
History of the Old Seminary Building
The Mexico Christian Female Sem
mary was built in 1868, under the
auspices of the Christian church.
Five. thousand dollars for the build
ing was contributed by VIM Kirtley,
John Beatty, J. M. Gordon, NJ. Y.
Duncan, j. P. Clark, C. P. Wade, S.
W. Davis and R. w. Sinclair.
These men formed the first Board
of Directors, and the title was vested
in the Christian Church until Gov.
Hardin purchased it in 1873.
The first president of the Semin-
airy was Mr. Shelton, a Christian
minister from Kentucky-a man of
broad culture and fine education.
He built up a fourishing school for
young women, which was patron
lied by all the surrounding counties.
His untimely death in 1861 and the
disturbances of the Civil War caused
the Seminary to be closed for some
time. Federal troops took possession
and occupied it for many months.
In the spring of 1864, the Semin-
airy was opened again, and Mrs. Bar
rett took charge. Boys and girls
were admitted and from that time on
it was a coeducational school until
Mr.. Hardin purchased it.
In the fall of 1864, the Christian
church secured the services of Mr..
William Hurt, who came from Col
umbia, Mo-, bringing with him, Prof.
Fred Pencil, as head of the music
department.
Prof. Pennell was of English birth,
but had received a thorough musical
education in Germany. His skill in
the art of teaching music has prob
ably not been excelled by any who
have succeeded him, and under these
two able instructors, the school be-
came very prosperous, and really
marks an epoch in school work In
Mexico.
nj the summer of 1867, they re-
turned to Columbia and the schoo
passed into the hands of Mr.. Barbour
and, Mr.. Andrew Cauthorn. At th'
end of a year Mr.. Barbour sold hi
interest in the school to Mr.. Bashaw
who took up the partnership will
Mr.. Cauthorn and carried the schoo
through the year from September
'68 to June so.
At the end of that session Mr.
Bashaw sold out to Mr.. Cauthorr
who taught through the following
year of $50 and 10.
In the autumn of 1870, Mr.. Jacl
Robinson was elected as head OF the
school, but he retired before the enc
of his year, leaving Mr.. Fuller X
teach during the last three months
! In the year II and ~, Mr.. Woo
had charge of the school and in U
and '7S, Nh. Howard Mammill, witt
his cultured and charming wife cam
from the South to teach.
With their administration, the his
tory of the Seminary comes to an end
and that Of Hardin College begins
in September, 1873.
