Preparing for the Fair --- SEDALIA, MISSOURI, SATURDAY JUNE 3. 1905 SOME WORDS OF WISDOM. "The race that gets most out of the soil, out of the wood, out of the kitchen, out of the schoolroom, the doctor's office or the pulpit, is the race that is going to succeed, regardless of all obstacles." "No one can degrade you; you, yourselves, are the only individuals who can inflict that punishment." "It often requires more courage to suffer in silence than to rebel; more courage not to strike back than to retaliate; more courage to be silent than to spaak." (Extracts from Dr. Booker T. Washington's Hampton Institute speech.)

THE TUNNEL BUILDING In comparing the four great tunnels of the world there is seen to be a very remarkable decrease in time and cost of the successive works. The Hoosac tunnel, in Massachusetts, the oldest of the four, cost $379 a foot; the Mont Cenis of Europe, the next in date, cost $356 a foot; the t. Gothard, likewise in the Old World, cost $229 a foot, and the Arlberg cost only $154 a foot. This rapid decrease in cost, within comparatively few years, is a marked indication of the great progress in mechanical methods and improvement in rock-excavating tools. A still more striking result exists in the case of a tunnel through the Cascade mountains, on the line of the Northern Pacific railroad. This, unlike those named, which were excavated in old settled countries, the terminal easy of access, was in a GREAT MUSICALE Springfield Missouri Leads in Producing Classical Concerts-Select Talent from Other Cities Take The churches of Springfield, Mo., have given a very high class of musical and Literary Recitals this spring, which have been a great improvement over the common entertainments usually Given by communitier. For these entertainments some of the best talent of the race have been employed. First, Miss Inez C. Parker, a poetess of Rolla, Mo., was secured and she recited her own poems to the delight of the public. Second, Miss Jeanne Alston Kelly, a contralto Soloist of great reputation as a musical artist not only in America, but in Europe, came and by her renditions placed the standard of musical recitals very high. Miss Kelly recently opened a studio in St. Louis, Mo., and is succeeding well. Third, Madam Lucas of Kansas City, Kans., was the next to appear. The people rate her very high for she is a woman of merit. Mrs. G. Harvey Mickey, of St. Louis, Mo., came as the fourth attractions. Her musical recital was well received. The Fifth and last of the series of musical recitals was given with Miss V. Willene Jackson of Sedalia, Mo., as the principal character. Miss Jackson is a Soprano Soloist of great merit. She possesses a melodious voice and attracted great attention. The very high standard set by the singers who preceded her was not lowered in her entertainment.

Rivers had to be turned aside, bridges had to be built and material transported over improvised roads through nearly one hundred miles of forest, mud and snow fields, yet the tunnel, which is sixteen and one-half feet wide, twenty-two feet high, and eight thousand nine hundred and fifty feet long, was bored through the mountains in twenty-two months, at the rate of four hundred and thirteen feet a month and a cost of the completed tunnel of only $118 a foot.

Hence, the Conservator believes, that by having the teachers of this county meet with the progressive citizens of our city at a great social function tendered in their honor, a great good will be accomplished. Arrangements have been made with the Park board for the use of Liberty Park Auditorium and Dining Hall, for the evening of June 7. Representative citizens of this community and adjacent territory are kindly requested to come and participate. The Teachers under the personal supervision of Prof. Shelton French, conductor, will render a musicale and literary recital, during the early hours of the evening, following which a royal banquet will be spread by Clifton Perry, one of Sedalia's best chefs.

It is one that must be solved by the parent and guardian or it will solve itself. A social problem, as it effects the youth of a community, may be properly solved by those who have dominion over the youth. If the heads of families fail to provide social amusements for their children, their children will provide for their own social life. What have the parents of this community done collectively for the social culture or elevation of their children, other than in their immediate home life? Keeping one's children absolutely free from social contact with those about them tends to weaken rather than strengthen their characters. Every intelligent parent owes to every other intelligent parent a social debt of aiding in the social culture of their children. Children of good inclinations should be encouraged to meet upon occasions of purely social enjoyment. Amusements should be provided for them that suit their tastes and fancy. Better prepare a ball for your daughter in your own home, where every moral safe-guard will be thrown about her, in the selection of her associates, time of entertaining and classes of dances permitted, than to have her steal away from home to some secret place where not only is the dance permitted but immoral influences are in evidence. The same conditions may apply to games, conversations and associates. If your boy delights in playing cards for amusement, it is far better to have him play at your own home, where you would not permit gambling or drinking, than to have him sneak away to some "Infernal Hell," where he would be instructed in every art of the debased gamester. Parents must study the social tastes of their children and instead of endeavoring to suppress absolutely those tastes that does not meet their complete approval, let them direct them in such a way that immoral imprints will not be planted. Teachers, preachers and parents must unite on some feasible plan that will provide wholesome and moral amusement for our youth just budding into young manhood and womanhood. Rev.

THE OPPORTUNITY OF TO-DAY The opportunity for the man with little means is probably better to-day in the prairie states of the Southwest than ever before in the history of the nation. To be sure, there is not the vast open choice of land for the home-steads that existed in the '70s. The lands then taken up under Government laws are now prosperous farms and ranches. There is need of more hands to develop the country. In the Southwest, Indian Territory, Oklahoma and Texas, are vast areas of unimproved land not yet producing the crops of which it is capable. Pratically the same thing is true of the towns. Few lines of business are adequately represented: There are openings of all sorts for wide awake men. Are you one? If you are interested, tell us what you want, how much you have to invest, and we will glacially furnish the information. Write for a copy of our paper, "The Coming Country." It's free.
