NELSON SPEAKS TJP A the recent annual meeting of the Missouri Farmers Association in Sedalia, Dr. Arthur Nelson, one time Democratic candidate for governor, gave his views on what he believes should he done for the farmer. His first observation was that he is not favorabily impressed with the farm relief bill and board, for both of which he is "filled with disgust." He is in favor of legislation that will take care of the farm surplus, and expresses himself as having no fear of price fixing.

Next he took a lusty slap at the Highway Commission for bungling up the entire road program and for the lack of provision to build farm-to-market roads. And that reminds us that the same Mr. Nelson had a great barbecue a few years ago and that he and all of his hosts mired in the mud. Evidently the Doctor is just coming to the light again, and has missed a few of the things that have happened in recent years. Since he has been in a state of coma the Congress of the United States passed exactly the kind of farm relief bill he wants, and it seems to bs working quite well.

If the present farm relief bill does not provide for disposing of the farm surplus, then all relief legislation is hopeless. No doubt the Federal Farm Board does not please the. Doctor, as it seems to be functioning most effectively in that it is accomplishing--so far as time has permitted--the very things the farmers want done. Evidently his fear is that there will be no ground for criticism whc-n the Doctor's aspirations for bhe governorship come to fever heat again. The provision of a state --ide system of farm-to-market roads is of such recent accomplishment that the Doctor should remember tins.

At the last election the people themselves voted a system of farm- to-market roads that is more complete and serviceable than any other state in the Union has proposed. And the Highway Commission squarely back of this program. The Department engineers already have gone into many of the counties and have surveyed and laid out the roads which the people of the ---n- ties picked. When this system is completed, no state in the Union will he able to boast of such a complete road system as Missouri has. Surely, somebody ought to tell Dr.

Nelson something about the the state and nation have made during the past five years. BRINGING HOME FOLKS BACK URING the past several weeks some of the more public spirited of our citizens havs organized a movement for a home coming of all former City residents and for a display of our industrial and agricultural products. The plans were quite elaborate and included a pageant on a rather large scale. However, lack of time made it necessary to forego the pageant, hut the plans for a home coming and industrial display will be carried out. At a meeting of a number of leading citizens yesterday all expressed themselves as very enthusiastic for a hoem coming.

The Chamber of Commerce, the various service clubs, the women's organizations, the Merchants Organization and the churches will co-operate heartily in bringing back home all former residents of the city and in producing a display of our industrial and agricultural products that will probably surprise cur own people. Few cities in the class of the capital can boast of producing more manufacturer! products than Jeffreson City, and 1 it is helpful to our industrial interests to make a display of these products occasionally. And it is entirely proper that the products of Cole county farms should also receive a prominent place in this demonstration. During the past few years cur farmers have made tremendous strides in the development of the dairv and poultry industries, and in the production of farm crops that compare favorably with most Missouri counties. It will be an encouragement to give the products of our farms a prominent place at the home coming celebration.

It Is to be hoped that this first home coming will be the nucleus for an annual celebration that' will grow in importance with each passing year. Committees shpuic' be appointed in the near future for the purpose of working out the plans for next year, so that will be ample time to prepare a worth while pageant and other features that will attract a large number of Missourians to cur city. JEFFERSON CITY POST-TRIBUNE City Attorney June Rose need have no fear about criticism for prosecuting drunken drivers, and Jt is almost ridiculous to even discuss the matter. Ninety-nine per cent cf the people of the city are heartily with him in his effort to make the children, as well as older people, safe on the street. CAREFUL CITY DRIVING Every thoughtful person in Jefferson City who drives a motor car has a special reason to drive carefully during the next nine months.

In fact, there are over three thousand reasons why motor drivers should be careful. The schools of the city opened Tuesday, and this means that in many sectlcr.s of the city over three thousand children will be crossing streets three or four times daily on their way to and from school. Many of these children too small to protect themselves and do not have the quick judgment to avoid dangerous conditions. For that reason the motor car driver must keep in mind that he must look out for the children and not expect them to get out of his way because he has the right ot way, or has honked his horn in warning. It was encouraging to see a policeman stationed at one of the most dangerous crossings this week at those -hen small children rushed across the street.

Just a wave of the hand of the man who wears a star has a wonderful influence on the man or woman driving a car, and reminds them suddenly that all the world does not belong to them, and that children have some rights. During the present school term every Jefferson City motorist should make a special effort not to injure a school child; nor any other i-sdes- trian, for that matter. Capital City does not have a good record so far as motor car accidents are concerned, but a special effort will improve this record so far as the children are concerned. Comment From Other Papers A TASK'FOR MISSOURI It was knowledge of urgent uild- ing and other needs at Missouri's educational, and eleemosynary institutions that led to creation of a state survey commission to go into the whole question, report the actual conditions and indicate the improvements that should be made, with recommendations as to how the work might be done. The finding of the secretary of the commission that 'nree of the four state hospitals for the insane are in such a run-down, unsanitary condition that they should be rebuilt completely is not, therefore, a wholly surprising revelation.

It tends rather to confirm what already has been understood in a general way. The definite action to be taken in this matter, as in the other mat- teis with which the commission will deal, is to bs determined after that body has completed its investigations and submitted its final report. Due to the known competence and character of the commission personnel, the people cf Missouri will have, full confidence in the procedure recommended Certainly, they will be to do whatever is reasonable and necessary for rehabilitating, modernizing or otherwise improving the institutions, particularly those de signed to care for the sick or otherwise helpless wards of the state Conditions that now exist are the outgrowth of years of neglect, due principally to inadequate state funds. But Missouri's resources are ample for the purpose of placing these institutions in good condition. In its own best interests, the state cannot afford to do anything else Perhaps a bond issue, suggested by Governor Caulfield as a probable means, would be the best method of raising the necessary funds.

But whatever the procedure, the obligation must ba City Star. A FAMILY AT PLAY It was our good fortune recently to visit in a farm family where father, mother and children were interested in the good old game of The lawn was smooth, the players were good, and being drawn into the game we found that it was surprisingly easy to be left at the first wicket while the rest of the party moved on. The game has points. But what interested and pleased us the opportunity to come into contact with a family playing as a and getting a lot of fun out of it. A family at play is not such a common sight these days.

Parents who play with their children are certainly laying a foundation for future Stock Reporter. Sunday School Lesson NEED ROAD PATROL Just one week-end trip over any state highway will convince most unprejudiced persons that Attorney General Shartel was right in urging the necessity for a state patrol. Reckless drivers, alone, could keep a good sized patrol busy for a long time. Some laws are funny things; a stationary engineer, who runs the smallest little dinky stationary engine, must take an examination to show his fitness for the job, but anybody with the price of the "first payment" can take charge of a much more dangerous engine and get out on the highways and endanger thousands of lives--without taking any sort of examination -Carthage Press. It used to be that when a person was sick, the doctor came and felt his pulse and looked at his tongue and gave him some pills to take Now the patient goes to a medical center and is overhauled by twenty- seven experts.

And very often the result seems to be precisely the same--except for the bill.warrens- burg Star-Journal. So built we the wall; arid all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work. And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work. And it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the abergeons; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah. They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.

For the builders, every one had' his sword girded by his side, and EO builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me. And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Thy work is great and large and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another: In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye hither unto us: our God shall fight for us. So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears, from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared. BY WM.

E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of Tb.3 Congregationalist A people with a mind to work can accomplish a great deal. Walls are built stone by stone, but it is amazing how fast they rise when many hands co-operate and each man builds his part.

That is plain, prosaic fact in every time and circumstance. For the rest, our lesson is largely one of symbolism in its relation to modern life. We are little concerned about walling about an ancient Jerusalem, but there are modern abodes and holy places that need to bs safeguarded against enemies. The rebuilding of their homeland and institutions by the' Hebrews who had returned from their in Babylon was not without difficulty. Their task was like that of the pioneers in our own land who had to guard themselves from enemies while they built their homes and communities.

In those days a wall was still a protection to a city and safety often depended upon the care and success with which the were kept intact and in good condition of repair. The returned exiles were relatively few in number, and they had large tasks to perform. Their enemies, also, harassed them constantly, so that it was probbly not to their discredit, but due to some disaster over which they had no control, that the walls of Jerusalem were reported to be in bad condition with the gates masses of charred wood. The report concerning the walls was brought from Jerusalem to Nehemiah by his brother, Hanani. Nehemiah was cup-bearer to Arta- xerxes Longimanus, the king of Pessia, a position that brought him in close relation to his sovereign, as It was his duty to taste the wine that was offered the king so as to make sure it was not poisoned.

A man in such a position, how- jver, cannot presume too much on his master's favor and it with some trepidation that Nehemiah requested permission to go and build the walls of his beloved Zion. There were enemies, too, who sought to prevent the accomplishment of his purpose, and who for a time seemed likely to succeed. Our lesson comes to the story of the actual wall building and describes vividly the conditions under which it was carried on. Inemies had to be fought off as the -work proceeded, and the workers kept one hand for the work and the other for their weapon of defense. The sword and spear were as essential as the level and trowel, and the trumpet as a rallying call summoning all where some emergency of danger existed symbolized the unity and mutual aid with' which the whole enterprise was carried on and fulfilled.

It is thus that all great enterprises are carried out In life and all good causes advanced and safeguarded. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." The world nesds its Nehemiahs--its leaders cf initiative, skill and vision. Enthr and goodwill are not enough out leadership and skillful planning and achievement. But it is in co-operation that plans come to fulfillment. Nehemiah could never have built the walls himself.

"The people had a mind to work." That tells the story; that is the great message that comes to us from the life of the Hebrew exiles, recoloniaing their ancient home. Modern Zions are no different. Especially cloes the' welfare of a democracy 'depend upon the popular mind to work arcl the co-opar- atioa oi all in securing and maintaining the commonweal. What walls need building in modern America? What existing walls are weak and in need of ening? Where can we find our appointed tasks, and give our ser vice in the common need and responsibilities? The world needs Nehemiahs; but it needs also the willing hands and the ready feet to answer at the trumpet's call. DAILY HEALTH SERVICE The fruit growers have aided the physicians in recent years in educating the public as to the value of fresh fruits, cooked fruits and re- pared fruits in the diet.

The fruits go a way to supplement bread, meat, cereals and even vegetables. They provide bulk and aid movements of the intestines, they yield vitamins and valuable- salts and they have considerable caloric value. An apple yields 100 calories, some iron and some vitamins and C. It is quite rich in carbohydrate but relatively poor, about one-fourth as good as the poorer vegetables, in protein. A large banana also gives about 100 calories and some iron and vitamins and it contains about twice as much protein relatively as the apple, but about the same amount of carbohydrate.

It takes a whole cantaloupe to give 100 calories and cantaloupe appears on most reducing diets for that reason. It is filling without high caloric value. Dates and figs have laxative qualities, they, are rich in protein and in carbohydrate. Three dates or one and one-half figs will give 100 calories. Pears and peaches aro about like apples, but they usually have calcium and phosphorus that the apple doss not so often provide.

The orange has calcium and iron and plenty of vitamins and and one orange gives 100 calories. It takes three or four plums or prunes to give 100 calories. They are helpful for their laxative quality. They have calcium and iron and the prune is known to provide vitamins and C. A cup of raspberries or strawberries will provide 100 calories.

It will have calcium, phosphorus and iron, and will be helpful for vitamins and C. All of the fruit juices help the reaction of the body toward an alkaline point which is valuable for health. The watermelon is rightly named A two-inch slice of watermelon weighs 800 grams or about one and three-quarters pounds. Of this there will be two grams protein, one gram fat and 22 grams carbohydrate. The caloric value of the whole thing will be 100 calories.

There will be some iron and some vitamins and C. The rest is water. MANY THE BIRTHDAY CLUB Only two children are celebrating their birthday on this date: Pauline Bax of 105 W. w- is fourteen years old, and Melvin Lee Hunziker of 310 A. Havana is three.

Queen Elizabeth Spent An Unhappy Childhood Little Elizabeth was a lonely child. Her father was King of England, but he had no no love for his daughter. He had quarclcd with her mother, and eo he did not care for the daughter.

She reminded him of her mother. He did not sec her for weeks and weeks at a time. She stayed with a governess, and she sometimes had the company of her brother, who was four years younger than she They were greatly devoted to each other. Yet Elizabeth was tender-hearted. She did not understand why her father treated her so badly, and she loved him just the same.

Her father became ill, very ill He did not ask to sse his daughter Finally he was so ill that no one could see him at all, and then Elizabeth and her brother, waiting anxiously, news was brought that he was dead. The children fell in each other's arms and cried bitterly. Elizabeth went about unhappily for many days, rsfusing to iaturday, September 7,1929 Out Our Way By Williams A Ca-OOD -TH 1 BOtXO -TW 1 AUDMGi AM 1 HE.UPS S'OO VT. I'M ASooT 'fHAT.

I guess you know, molly, that I've been crazy about you ever since you strolled in the office that day, and'knocked Wharton for a row of goals--I guess you know, too, that people aro always falling in love with you. It isn't fair to be as beautiful as you are--what I'm trying to say is I fell like a load of bricks the minute I laid eyes on you--but you know, molly, I never made love to you. "Ever since I've known fou with, my love. Every time you ever touched my hand, I'd want to take you in my arms--and hold you tight--and kiss you.

"Remember the night you asked me if I had my sweetheart's picture in the back of my watcb? And I said 'Yes'--and showed it to you? And you said, 'Why, It's your mother, "Well, I j)oso I might have told you then that my mother is an Invalid--that she hasn't been out of a wheel hardly since I was born--only I didn't want you to think I was oking for sympathy, or anything like that. If I was to get married, my mother would just about die, molly, my father died when I was in high school, and then I started taking care of mother: I guess being an Invalid is enough to make any jealous anyhow there's no use talking about it. When a woman's helpless, you can't blame her for being unreasonable. "That's why the stories in the jiapors ot on roy nerves. They'll hiH my mother, if she sees them.

That may sound melodramatic-but it's the truth. Now you know dear, why I acted the way I did-and you know, too, something I never meant to tell you. You know that I love you--and I guess maybe you'll forgive me for telling you so Red." sa for a long time with A the letter in her hand. So Red had fallen in love with her. And he had meant that she should never know.

Poor, dear Red! She shuffled the sheets of his letter together, folded them, and put them back ia the envelope. Then she opened her bag, andi EARLY slipped the envelope beneath a pile of lingerie. She was aorry for Red with all her heart. Molly sighed. And, reaching for the phone, dictated a telegram to Reel: TERRIBLY EVERYTHING SORRY A.BOUT WORRY WILL SEE THAT RUMOR DIES THANK YOU FOR YOUR LETTER PLEASE BELIEVE I SYMPATHIZE AND UNDERSTAND WILL WRITE LATER MOLLY." bhe was not, she in any frame of mind to the tactful answer that Red's letter warranted She must think of tender, understanding things to say.

Now she would dash off, instead a letter to Jack. "Dear Jack," she wrote, and sa for a moment, biting the end her pen, considering. "Direct, and to the point," sh TOW Austin. "And thanks for seeing me Miss Burnham. I'll just write a couple of sticks, and kill that engagement story." A few hours later she telephoned from her office.

"Mary Austin again. Say, there are a couple aviators missing. Not wishing them any hard luck I reckoned you'd he glad to know you've lost your place on the front The young out of the nest," Red had said. "Ready to hunt for their cause it doesn't pay to be' too eager. "Dear Jack, I'm sorry you wouldn't listen to me, or le me explain.

The stories in the pa per were entirely without founda tion. I lovo you as much as I did. I'm going to Boston, and yoi can reach me there, if you wish." gHE read it over, and concluded that it was both dignified and discreet. Now he could interpre the degree of her love in whatever terms he chose. If he wanted to think she preferred a career tc marriage, he would probably con tinue his stubborn tactics.

If he ap preciated her love, he would ask her now to marry him, "Oh dear!" she sighed and then the telephone rang. "Misa Burnham?" an eager voice inquired. "Oh, Miss Burnham, mj name is Mary Austin, and I'm on the Herald. I know you said you wouldn't see any more reporters today. But this is my first assign ment, and you've no idea how much it means to me.

I'm afraid I'll be fired if I fall down on it." "I'd hate to get you Molly answered. "Come up!" When Miss Austin presented herself, Molly was not surprised to sec a self-possessed young woman of unquestionable experience. "I knew it!" she declared, laugh ing good naturedly. "I've pulled the same one myself." Miss Austin smiled undismayed "What's the low-down on this Flynn person?" she demanded. And have you a picture of prince charming?" Her gaze swept the dressing table.

"They say he looks like Lindbergh," she volunteered. "Long and lanky, I suppose. That's the way I like 'em too. Who was it said Ions-legged lovers?" Molly shrugged. "I don't know.

It sounds like tabloid pltflosophy Listen, Miss Austin, you'll be doing me a favor if you kili that engagement story It should never have been uh- lished." "So you're off romance?" There was a gay insolence about the girl from the Herald. see here!" protested Molly indignantly. "I didn't anything of the kind." "But you've renounced marriage?" "I didn't say that either. I'm leaving tomorrow for Boston, to attend my class reunion. And then I'm going to Italy, because I'm dying to see Venice, and eat a lot of spaghetti.

And when she ar rived at college, for commencement the students met her at the station with a brass baud. She and Rita went to the garden party together.

His farewell kiss was so casual that Molly wondered if his gayety actually covered a breaking heart. She sailed from New York.

The twin beds in Molly's cabin were piled high with baskets of fruit and long boxes of flowers. And there were many gifts--books, and traveling case, and a small writing cabinet. She opened hurriedly, looking for something from Jack, With a great bunch of Parma violets she found his card, and with it a book Oscar Wilde's love verse--a slim, small volume, bound violet vellum. It was the same book from whichythoy had read together on the lake, during tha mad, lovely days of their courtship Jack had it re-bound in her favorite color, with her name etched slender golden letters. She found the marked passages they had read together, and her eyes filled with tears, and her heart with longing.
