During the address the president referred to the wonderful resources of Missouri, the value of its land per acre, and urged the students to look forward to the purchase of some of that land or to take up government land and work upon it. He urged the study of Political Economy that they might learn the laws of wealth, the laws of profit, of production and consumption, and entreated them to become producers as well as consumers. He spoke of the necessity of building up of excellent communities in various parts of the state, of putting brains into one's work, and Richard Sanders' next Great place on or about December 1st. en, if you wish to save money First Class goods.

He deplored the mortgage system which so many seem to invite and urged the improvement of home life in every way. With literature at reduced rates, rural delivery, telephone connections, etc., there is today no excuse for ignorance on the part of the farmer. THANKSGIVING PROCLA-MATIONS. By Gov. Folk: "It is well to pause occasionally from the duties of life and acknowledge our dependence upon a higher power. In things material and in things moral Missourians have prospered greatly during the past year, and it is appropriate The speaker did not wish to be understood as telling every boy to go to the farm, but the race must have its quota of intelligent farmers, working with up-to-date implements and labor saving devices, if it is to be able to stand the competition of American life. He thought the Negro should acquire stability, and the desire to accumulate, that he should not change his position too frequently without knowing a good reason for making the change; and that in everything we undertake we should strive to measure up with the best; in other words should give intelligent service and the best that is within us in every line of work. He feared that the Negro boy is not keeping up with the Negro girl in any line of work and urged the boys to put forth greater efforts. "Columbia" having been sung with characteristic energy, President Allen called for speakers from the student body representing various counties of the state and states of the Union. Among the respondents were the following: Buchanan—Percy Robinson. Cole—Jeanette Harrell. Howard—Richard Jackson. Jackson—Howard Hickerson. Johnson—Grant Tayes. Marion—Alice Shropshire. Randolph—Walter Viley. Ray—Lawrence Kimbrough. St Francis—Kitsy Townsend. St Louis—Leslie Ford. Saline—Morton Henderson. Southwest Missouri—Messrs Rucker and Shackleford. Texas had an interesting and humorous speaker in William Scott and Kansas in James Saunders of the college department. College yellow livened the various speeches and the intervals. rious speeches and the intervals. The "Star Spangled Banner" was rendered by the school in an artistic manner and after closing remarks, in which President Allen cordially thanked all who had helped make the session a success, the convention adjourned to meet at an early date—hereafter to be specified, in November, 1906.

Folk: "It is well to pause occasionally from the duties of life and acknowledge our dependence upon a higher power. In things material and in things moral Missourians have prospered greatly during the past year, and it is appropriate that a day be set apart for prayer the Ruler of the Universe for His blessings so abundantly bestowed." "Theresore, the president of the United States having designated Thursday, November 30, 1905, that day is hereby appointed as a day of thanksgiving in Missouri, and the people are requested to abstain from their usual avocation and assemble in their accustomed places of worship, or around their own hearthstones, to return from grateful hearts, thanks to Him, whose hand has been guiding our destinies and will lead us on. "In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the great seal of the State of Missouri." "Done at the city of Jefferson, this sixth day of November, A. D. 1905. By the Gov., Jos. W. Folk. "Jno. E. Swanger, Sec. of State." By Pres. Roosevelt:--- "When nearly three centuries ago the first settlers came to the country which has now become this great republic, they confronted not only hardships and privations, but terrible risk to their lives. In those grim years the custom grew of setting apart one day in each year for a special service of thanksgiving to the Almighty for preserving the people through the changing seasons. The custom has now become national and halowe (by immemorial usage. We live in easier and more plentiful times than our forefathers, the men who, with rugged days, and yet the dangers to national life are quite as great now as at any previous time in our history. It is eminently fitting that once a year our people should set apart a day for praise and thanksgiving to the Giver of Good, and, at the same time that they express their thankfulness for the abundant mercies received, should manfully acknowledge their shortcomings & pledge the nselves soiemnly and in good faith to strivk to overcome them, "During the past year we have been blessed with bountiful crops Our business prosperity has been great. No other people has stood on as high a level of material well being as ours now stands. We are not threatened by boes from with out. The loss from whom we should pray to be delivered are our own passions, appetites and follies, and against these there is always need that we should war. "Therefore, I now set apart Thursday, the 30th day of this November, as a day of thanksgiving for the past and of prayer for the future, and on that day I ask that throughout the land the people gather in their homes and places of worship and in rendering thank unto the Most High for the manifold blessings of the past year, consecrate themselves to a life of cleanliness, honor and wisdom so that this nation may do its allotted work on the earth in a manner worthy of those who founded it and of those who preserved it "In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. "Done at the city of Wgshing ton this 2nd day of November, in the year of our Lord 1905, and of the Independence of the United States the 139th. "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." How About It!

Our gratefulnes should be made manifest by not only giving praise and thanksgiving to the "Lord, the Most High," but also in alleviating the wants of those about us who may be in distress; by studying the conditions that are about us and striving to make them better. Our achievements, during the year, have been portentously great. In no instance where we have striven for mastery, has our efforts failed to bring gratifying results. Plans for the completion of great engineering constructions have received popular approval, legislation to remedy existing evils in our commercial and municipal activities are endorsed by the popular will; efforts to obliterate sectional and racial hatred are visibly aided by the American conscience. Amid all these operul surroundings, dangers and pitfalls still lurk. Hence we must urge upon all to approach the altar of Thanksgiving with vigilant as well as grateful hearts. Watch for evils that everywhere seek lodgment in the hearts of the unsuspecting. M. BENJAMIN F. ALLEN, Ph.

There are many inquiries concerning the enforcement of the compulsory education law. A few of them have been answered by the state superintendent as follows: 1. The home instruction given in lieu of the school must be regular and during the usual school hours every day equivalent to the instruction given in school. 2. The court, not the teacher, school clerk or truant officer, may excuse. The court need not excuse children on account of their living two and one-half miles from the school. Able-hodied healthy childred go further than that without considering it a hardship. Moerschel B BREWERS AN Cor. Main and Missouri Private Orders Given Special At :: scener's Deer, You will Be P Cor.

It is hoped that there will be a charitable organization in every school district to furnish clothing when necessary. 4. It is the duty of the Attendance officer, or district clerk in a district not having attendance officer, to prosecute parents who fail to comply with the law after due notice has been given. 5. A parent who thinks he has good and sufficient excuse for not sending his child to school should not wait to benotified. He should secure written excuse from the court and have it ready to present when notified. The law does not contemplate that court wait for prosecution. Secure excuse and stop prosecution. 6. The attendance law is not in conflict with section 9794 which gives school boards authority to suspend or expel pupils from school.
