Allen, M.D. The St. Louis Star, independent in politics says of the Democratic platform adopted in Jefferson City last Tuesday : “It has been a long time since any political party has been able in its plat’orm to point to such an array of achievements in the in- * terest of the people—what news- papers call human interest—as is done in tie platform adopted by the Democrats of Missouri at Jef- ferson City. This has been a busy national administration. Its; achievements of legislative and administrative progress for the benefit of labor, of agriculture and of business have done more than those of any of its predeces-, sors, in spite of the fact that the world has been torn with a great war and we have moved from day to day within the shadow of its menace, : | Added to this is the promise of accomplishment by the party in the State; constructive legislation latter bei.g made certain by the placing of a suecesstul business man at its head, whose construe- tive ability has already been shown by his land bank plan, which hag taken such a hold upon the farmers of Missouri. As plat- forms go, it would be difficult to construct 2 stronger one.""* Candidate Hughes may not be able to get the letter ‘*1'? worked The Butler Weekly Times Editor and Mgr.

Each year two boys from each county in the state are selected to go to the fair as guests of the State Fair Association. They are quartered on the fair grounds where they at- tend leciures on farming and stock exhibits and see all the lat- est farm machinery demonstrated. The examination which was competitive, consisted of arith- metic, algebra, gecgraphy and an essay on ‘‘silos.’’ Two alternates, Guy Hariman of Butler, aged 14, and Roy:Culbertson, aged 13, were chosen and ff for any reason the principals do nof attend they will go i sides together on some form of agreement. Efforts which might well be de- scribed as almost superhuman are being exerted to that end tonight. When the brotherhood’ leaders this morning rejected the latest proposal of the railroads and defi- nitely set the strike for Labor day without further notice, President Wilson decided to lay the whole situation before Congress.

They never concerned school was a success or not. That was the teacher’s business. But times have changed and now directors keep themselves and see that the teachers that they employ are qualified .and that they have a good building in which to conduct the school.
