There is the fine, state-building thing called “vision” in Governor Major’s call to the highways. August 20 and 21 will be great days in Missouri’s historic calendar. Now let all the counties and towns respond in generous rivalry. And let all the able-bodied men prove their able bodies and their able love of the state. The women? The surest thing you know is that they, too, will help. They’re going to be the Betsy Rosses and the Molly Starks of the Missouri “Revolution.” They will be in the game because good roads mean good schools for the kids, and good ways to the church, and better times on the farms--and in the towns, too. A common work on all the roads of all Missouri will do more for the sure enough common wealth of all the people than anything else that all the people could do. Once arouse the Missouri spirit by that two days of special work and the work thus be- gun will go on.

It is to be hoped and believed that not a mile of these roads will be neglected under Governor Major’s inspiring appeal.--Kansas City Times. Daughter of Major’s Aid Dies Jefferson City, Mo., July 27.--The 22-month-old daughter of Mr. and- Mrs. A. Z. Patterson died at St. Mary’s Hospital in this city this morn- ing after an illness ofa week. Death was due to inflammation of the stom- ach. Mr. Patterson is private secre- tary to Gov. Major. He formerly lived at Butler, Bates County. The funeral services over the re- mains of little Agatha Patterson, the 2-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Zach Patterson, who died at St. Mary’s hospital Saturday night fol- lowing a severe operation, was held Monday from the home on South Broadway. The little one had been ill for a week and the operation was considered the only hope to save its life. The child rallied after the oper- ation, but died a few hours later. The funeral services were conduct- ed by Rev. John F. Hendy. Mrs. Ed Austin sang a hymn, accompanied by Mrs. W. W. Bratton on the violin. The body was taken to Riverview cemetery accompanied by the friends of the family. Mr. Patterson’s father and mother, Mr. John A. Patterson and wife, of Butler attended the fun- eral. Zach Patterson is private secretary to Governor Major and he and his wife have many friends over the state who sympathize with them in their hour of trouble.—Capital News. Had Plenty of Fish. If anyone wants to fight all they have to do is to ask A. Bradenberger or any of his party if they like fish. Mr. Brandenberger, along with Dr. Bedford and Dick Bedford of Colum- bia, J. D. Allen, J. C. Johnson, Dr. Haigh, Geo. Stampfliand Morris Gor- don, went down on the ‘‘Meda,”’ the river boat belonging to Henry Nord- man, as far as Osage City and from there up the Osage and the Maries. From the time they left Jefferson City Monday morning until they re- turned yesterday the principal part of their diet was fish. They even got up at midnight and had turtle soup. But when they walked up the river bank yesterday not one would admit that he cared for any more fish.— Capitol News.
