Dairy Development Here Greatly Advertised County Success Is Its Own Advertisement. The advertising value of the dai-ry development in this county 13 impossible to estimate, but It no doubt is, and will be, worth thousands of dollars. It was not long after local dairy boosters, a number of years ago, started a drive to interest the Missouri Dairy Cofnparly, of Kansas City, in milk from this county, inquiries from other parts of the country began, coming Then, after-the Missouri Dairy Company had begun operations, and. announcement wad made that the Borden Company would locate a coudensery here, the.

number of inquiries increased, and out'Of-the-couiity visitors were attracted. i Now, with the condensery receiving many thousands of pounds of milk daily, and the dairy industry of the county undergoing a steady and healthy development, a bunch of letters is received every day containing inquiries. Many, of these are received by the Chamber of Commerce, and a con- s'derable number also by the con densery. Aio, a good many are received by the Farm Bureau and by individual dairymen. It la impossible to estimate tho number of oiher inquiries that are received by other local persons who are directly connected with the dairy industry.

Tho mayor, i commissioners, county in fact nearly every locsil public official at -times re-ceivo such inquiries. Then, there is hardly a month goes by, even in winter weather, but that a del- esaUon comes here from some or count; to study, the dairy do- And it is impossible t0 estimate the number of indi- vicinal visitors who come here with the thought of locating In the county.

For. forty years, perhaps for sixty years, Samuel lived to be a hundred years old, there was comparative peace in Israel. Samuel acted as a judge and before him came large and small differences to be adjusted, criminal as, well as c(vil. He traveled from 'place to place, from tribe to tribe, and held his court.

Another brother is now eick similarly. Raymond would have heen 3 years old April 21st. He was born in Bourbon county.

Besides his parentsTie leaves the follow- in the bud. Local officers hadi had difficulty with Pryor for yeaTs. He had been arrested on many occasions, mostly on robbery charges, but had always managed to escape sentence's until apprehended fdr the robbery of the trainmen about a year and a half ago. When highway robberies became frequent here two years or more ago, local officers suspected that. ArchieJ'ryor was and started a search for him.

Ke managed to evade them, however, altho one night former Sheriff C. M. Armour and the late Officer William Eloomlield, passed within a few feet of the fugitive. A short time after that Officer Rloomfield hearing that Pryor was at ui nujne in it m'gi i.jiu name of Curtis, went to the Curtis home. he knocked at the.

door, Florence Niles, Pryor's, sweet heart, opened the door. As she did so, according to Bloomfield's re- port afterward, Pryor fired at the 4i, nre hlg bulet woundlng the giri in the breast Shortly afterward a Ford roadster belonging to the city, and kept at the home of Commissioner Elmer Coe, was stolen. Officers are strongly of the opinion it was Pryor who stole the machine. Some time afterward Pryor returned to Fort Scott, and not many weeks later, after a period during which there "were many hold-ups here, he was apprehended on the charge of robbing the trainmen. With the capture at City a short time ago of Jess Payton, only 5 of the 18 prisoners who escaped from the -state penitentiary at Lansing in two sensational deliveries were still at large.

The killing of Pryor. leaves only four still at liberty. The four at large were members of the thirteen who escaped by crawling thru the far-gotten tunnel of the afternoon of December 2. Pryor was one of who escaped thru the tunnel. five who later escaped by go- ing over thewall were all captured within throe days after (heir es cape, i one case of milk for each school, home, Rev.

He established the first school of religious education afterward called and which lasted 'at least unitl the time of Elijah and was Dean of that school.

Our ideas of what we should do with our children and the idoas of, our children of what they stybll do with us, have changed immensely In a generation. It seems to mo that our home life has almost broken from its moorines. It is g00a to.go back 3,000 years to the story of a reiigious mother and hor son. Samuel was a model boy, perhaps we would nowadays call him, a sissy boy and his companions would jear at him and ask why he did not get his hair cut. Samuel inever sowtd any wild oats.

I have heard fathers declare that It swas necessary for a boy to sow wild oats and to show their own boys wjiere the wild oa.ts could be found. I do not be- Uieve a word of this I believe that not only ia it uunec- i essary to sow a crop of wild oat but that it is inevitable that the boy wholes so will reap the crop to his sorrow and his shame and to a briefer span of his living. I believe jthat a boy should be just as pure as a girl and that when there comes a wedding one; should bring to the other a life equally unsoiied. When Samuel was a bo serving in the temple the PhilisTines were raging Victoriously through' the land. It was about 200 years since the Isratlites had invaded X'anaan and there was no national coherence.
