The right kind of a disposition is sunny under every sort of a sky. The true believer in universal peace bears no grudge agains this neighbor. An Honest man doesn’t mind being observed, but he hates the inquisi- tive eye. The most irksome weariness on earth is the tiredness of the lazy fel- low. r Nothing is known so positively as the the things folks imagine they know and don’t. If money were everything then some folks would be justified in working so hard to get more than they need. One can talk quite 'glibly of some- thing he knows nothing at all about, for then he doesn't have to be exact: When a fellow is too much alarm- ed with the sound of his own voice it takes a good deal of the charm out of it. Old Bill Williams says that in his opinion no man is a successful smok- er until he can light his pipe out of doors with one match in wind or rain. The man who can forget that he has an automobile when the roads are very bad is sometimes considered rather slow by some of his neighbors, but he is usually there with the goods when his accounts are due. It will not do to ‘‘bank’”’ too heavi- ly on the future prices of farm pro- ducts, especially if this war proves to be along one. Remember that it is possible for us or anyone else to live on almost nothing when we have nothing to buy with. As soon as you get friendly with some folks they want to make all sorts of use of you.

A. Reed, in his most suave and accommodating manner, supplied them with the necessary documents al- lowing thenr to contract marriage. In a short time they wended their way to the home of Rev. Ernest T. Raney pastor of the M. E. Church, South, where ina doubleceremony, he quick- ly united the destinies of Emori W. Short of Butler and Miss Myrtle Stubbs of Pleasant Gap, and Lee W. Baugher and Miss Mary Kauffman of Pleasant Gap. Those who saw the happy brides and grooms. strolling around after the ceremony were di- vided in opinion as to whether it was a double elopement or whether the four young people came here to es- cape the jokes of friends at Butler. Pleasant Gap is located several miles southeast of Butler.—Harrisonville The State administration is so sound that the Republican platform does not criticise it in a singular particular. The Democratic party promised the: people certain legisla- tion and the party of the people made good; hence the guns of the G. O. P. are spiked. Senator.Stone stood steadfastly by | Missouri interests during the filibust- begin to count upon the service as one of their regular assets.

You and the birds and the flowers have the world all to yourself then, and it is good company to be in. There is sweetness everywhere, and the world || seems pristine and pure. Whether you have the soul of a.poet or not there is that in all things about you which goes home to the heart, and you seem in tune with the hidden music on every hand, and you feel like worshiping God. Go out some morning and try it. Go out many mornings and you will not give it up, but make it a habit of life. OLD SETTLERS RE-UNION Notwithstanding Rainy Weather Good Crowd in Attendance Wednesday. The annual re-union of the old set- tlers of Bates county was held in But- ler Wednesday, October 7th, and not withstanding the rainy weather a large crowd was inattendance.iMayor Henry L. Jost of Kansas City- spoke in the circuit court room in the af- ternoon and made one of the best speeches ever heard in Butler. Fol- lowing is a list of premiums awarded: To the white man who has resided} in Bates county the longest time $3.00 hat, Z. Smith, Spruce. To the white woman who has re- sided in Bates county the longest time, $3.00 dress pattern, Mrs. D. S. Drummond, Butler, Mo. To the oldest man in Bates county a fine rocking chair, Daniel M: Doug- las, Butler. To the oldest woman in Bates coun- ty, a fine rocking chair, Sarah Doug- lass, Butler. ‘ To the first white man born in Bates county, at present a resident of the.county, $3.00 hat, J. N. Bar- rows, Rich Hill. To the first white woman born in Bates.county, at present a resident of the county, a fine carving set, Mrs. Mary F. Herrell, Butler, Mo. To the first couple married in Bates — groves and along the hedges are a chattering lot, but it is"a great deal more entertaining and profitable to listen to them than to a gossipy gath- ering of men and women. The hired men in this vicinity are beginning to look upon silo filling as ® “cruel and inhuman” mode of pun- ishment. Silo owners and others should remember hard driving and heavy work now will make hired help more scarce next spring. Don’t be grouchy, oh, don’t be grouchy, my dear sir, for what sweet- ness can you find in acidity? And, since sugar has gone away up in price, you must sweeten yourself, sir, if sweet you are to be, because nobody would be willing to waste good sweetness upon you. Our feathered friends are leaving us for the year. Let us hope that their visit was pleasant enough to them so that we may have them all back dext season. A visitor that works all summer for his board and does his own cooking is a rather pleasant thing to have around. The increased demand for kerosene and gasoline seems to have lowered the price instead of increasing it and still we do not hear any words of praise-for the “great octopus.” This is hardly fair. If the farmers had complete control of the prices of farm products it is doubtful if they would try to put them “‘within reach at all.” : |Stone. When we remember that | Stone was largely responsible for the adoption of the present projects for the improvement of the’ Missouri and Mississippi along the Missouri line, it |is not to be’ expected that he would |look with favor upon any abandon- | ment of those projects, and there will be none while Stone is in the Senate. Missourians interested in river im- provement owe a debt of gratitude to the senior senator. Perhaps one of the reasons why Senator Borah of Idaho did not open the Republican campaign at St. Louis was that he knew Missourians would not endorse his fight against the River and: Harbor Bill, in which | Missouri was so vitally interested. The selection of Borah as a Repub- lican mouthpiece indicates how com- vletely Missouri Republican leaders ignore the interests of the State. This fiods be remembered on November rd. | Hark from the tomb, a doleful |sound! Missouri Republican orators |are waving the bloody shirt and talk- jing about issues dead these forty years or more. Verily, Roosevelt is .right—‘‘less than nothing is to be ex- pected of the Republican party.” Better schools, better roads, better service from public service corpora- tions: If you agree with this plat- form, vote the Democratic ticket next month. | NEW PLUSH HATS In all - Guaranteed Plumes. Of course, we have no disposition to rejoice because our brothers across the waters are engaged in the awful carnage of warfare. With the kaiser, we must all say that it makes our hearts bleed. And yet, as we ride home from market with a large- ly increased check from the proceeds of our crops we just pat ourselves {jon the back a little and feel mighty glad that we are at peace with the world and can just go on thinking about and enjoying our quiet and peaceable little farms, while they fight it out if it takes all summer. ° colors I_would county and living together, two rock- ing chairs, W.
