Publisher Tlie New Constitutional Convention Dear Editor Many yonrs of devotion to tho highest welfare of my state is iny excuse for wishing to arouse jeneral inter est in what to mo will be the most important event in Mis souri history since lSTTi, The possible outcome of the constitutional convention may atfevt us "for better or for worse" for a full half century or more, hence the thought that there should be full and free dis cussion of what constitutional changes are desired before the delegates are selected and the convention assembled. That quick and easy adjust ments may be made in any changes proposed by a new con stitution, its proposals should he submitted to the people for adop tion not later than Juno ne.vt. August primaries and November election next year may then be used to put its provision into elfect. Should the election of delegates be hold in November and the convention assembled in January its work may be com pleted in time for adoption in June. There will be eighty-three del egates in the convention two from each of the thirty-four Sen atorial districts and fifteen from tho state at large. The district delegates will be equally divided politically, since each oT tlio two leading political parties in each district nominates one and each voter votes for one delegate only. All candidates for delegate-at-large will be nominated by peti tion and submitted on tho ballot without any designation as to politics or issue. While the plan may bo com mended Tor its bi-partisan and non partisan provisions, it has its dangers. Those who may have special interests to sub serve or pet theories of govern ment to try out will not find it difficult to secure membership in this convention if the people generally do not take interest in selecting them. No delegate should be elected until lit- is pledged on a low fundamental propositions. I There should be a noji-nartisnn oi gitiiiz.ition formed in owr siliHdl district in the counties and in every voting precinct i i tlie cities to discuss such (pu s linns tis tho short ballot, consoli i latum of departments and emu 'Missions, centralized control.

I believe the trac tor will make farming what it ought to be the most pleasant, the most healthful, the most profitable business on earth'." This tractor has done much very much in bringing true Mr. Ford's prophecy; for in it is a machine which has harnessed one of the most dependable, efficient, adaptable, economical sources of power in the world a machine that saves from thirty to fifty per cent of the farmer's time a machine which many farmers claim plows, harrows or drills as much ground in the isame time as four, six or even eight horses. .And more a machine that takes care of every power job on the farm.

A curious phonographic, Instriiinent was Invented by I'ouKen, callable of re versing the sounds of u word or a sen tence. A steel piano wire, carried on two spools, pas-.es between the poles of a small electromagnet so connected with a telephone transmitter that spo Ueii words are magnetically recorded on the moving wire and reproduced In a receiving Instrument. When the mo tion of the wire is direct, the words are heard as In ordinary conversation, but If the motion is reversed, the sound' ennie to the ear in reverse order, Ul;e words spelled backward. To represent the order in which the reversed sounds strike the ear, however, not only must tho order of the letters composing u word be reversed but each letter must itself be reversed fiom right lo left, as when rellceted in a mirror.

As the string would liol coalesce Willi the tail, It was alllxeil to a bind leg. "Where Is your pig pen?" demanded the mini, "livery buddy git out of the way !" The man drew the string taut. When It was slackened tlie pig started on a "home run" that would have done Italic Itiilb credit. Satlslled at lust, the pig giilliled lit his porridge, and, plg-llke. the other shoal came to feast with its brother. Amelia caiiic forward, extending her liaiiil. She was greeting Simeon Hush!
