The paper which you sent is the sort that makes a man carrying the responsibilities of public life very proud and very grateful, and is line with your whole condutt during the months that. have passed. Cordially and sincerely yours, (Signed) WOODROW WILSON.”’ In his 4th of July address, at Phila- delphia, to further express his feel- ing, President Wilson said: “The members of the House and Senate who stay in hot Washington to maintain a quorum of the House and transact public business are per- forming an act of patriotism. I hon. or them for it and am mighty glad to stay here and stick by them till: it is over.” : Listen to William J. Bryan, who over his own signature in the Com- moner for June, 1914, said to the voters: “The importance of electing a con- gress that will be in sympathy with President Wilson’s administration cannot be over estimated. If your district is represented by_a progres- sive Democrat who has’ given Presi- dent Wilson hearty support, it is the duty of all progressive Democrats to renominate and elect him.’’ Listen to Champ Clark: “Men should not be sent hither simp- ly to gratify their own personal am- bition, but because they can be of service, and having proved they are of service, wisdom dictates that they should be kept there so long as they continue to be of service; and it may be confidently asserted that the value of the services of a man of capacity, character, industry and good habits DEACONS South Side—Butler, Mo.

Iva Rockhoid Taller cath eeyce Prof. McPheeters Prof. McPheeters discussed some phases of child study based on mod- ern psychology. He emphasized the fact that it is of great importance for teachers and parents to have a the great differences between the child’s outlook and that of the adult. While the fact stands out clearly that comparatively little definite knowl- edge of the child is accessible at the present time, it is known that both the mental and physical makeup of the child is very different from that of the grownup person. For this reason it is highly important that we as teachers make a careful study of the child mind and child life. ‘ Prof. McPheeters’ talk was well worth the while of those present, and the club appreciates his giving time to their program. The club will have their usual sum- length of service. New.England un- derstands this thoroughly, so do the cities of Philadelphia and: Pittsburg, When a representative from any: of those places demonstrates his fitness here, he is retained until he retires, dies or is promoted. These facts should furnish much food for thought for every constituency in the land.”’ Listen to Ex-Governor Dockery, who in a recent-speech said: “The Missouri delegation is one of the strongest in the House, and they should be kept there in order that the State and Nation shall have the great- est benefit of their services.’’ Listen to the St. Louis Republic, which in. its editorial of June 27th, in paying a very high tribute to the Missouri delegation, said: “The fourteen Democratic members of the Missouri congtessional delega- tion will remain on the job until the administration’s legislative program has been completed.

Much complaint has been heard from cattle men of late years because they were not giv- en a chance to compete for premi- ums.

They have secured a fine exhibit from the Agricultural College at Col- umbia, which should be of interest and great benefit to all who are inter- ested in agricultural pursuits. In other words it will bea small agri- cultural college set up at the Fair Grounds in charge of two compétent educators who will explain every de- tail.
