MEDF01IT) MATL TRTOUNK METWOUF), OTJEtSON, FRIDAY. DTSPEMnTCR 10, 1015 TOW TTIRVJW fc 1 MISSOURIAN N VALLEY IS FINEST SPOT ON COAST BY ) W. WATSON "There U peculiarly happy stim ulation la tho atmosphere of your wonderful valley that lured mo to linger longer; and then nuother while, nuil finally another week; nnd this evening I am sorry that I must go," said Dr. K. C. HeRsley of Eastern Missouri, nn ho tarried n moment to warn the reporter not to quote him. ''1 have already remained bo long that I'm almost acclimated," he add ed: and Ills BGVonty Missouri summers Teally seemed to have uecn subject ed to a process of subtraction during Ills IhII of ten weeks In this valley. lti'Kivts liO'.s of Time A professional life of unusual se verity In exposure nnd privations In cident to being tho only physician to minister to tho material ncedB of n Jnrgo cllentelle of an extensive ter ritory In a swamp region north of the Missouri river nnd closo to tho hanks of tho Mississippi would havo aged a mnn of ordinary physique long before Dr. Hessley began to feel that he was growing old, Indeed, ho may bo readily pardoned for resent ing tho Imputation that he Is scarce ly beyond the horizon of tho prime- of life today. "It will forevor remain one of tho regrets T havo stored away during my brief span of existence that I did not find thlH enchanted spot forty years ago," continued tho doctor. "During those four decades, though, 1 have made a home back there, about which seems to cling a cluster of memories which I am loath to leave. They are Interwoven with the vines Hint cover a gravo in n hedged com lcry there, beside which a plot has been reserved for me and I feel that J ought to bo there when It's ready for me. Ignorant of our Wenllli "So Indifferent to tho great wealth the people of this valley possess In i linvlug merely a home here, I am sometimes Impressed with the belief that many of them do not appreciate It I have been nway from homo six months, during which time I havo Keen much of this golden coast of tho Pacific. I saw tho great show of worlillr iPMxliictlonn In the inorvrllonn exposition at San Francisco. I trn xerned the principal valleys of Cali fornia, alluring In their beauty and charming In their wealth of cultiva tion; yet the enchantment soon wears off, like that of the chemical per fumes; but here, In this valley gem, framed In Its circle of rugged moun tain ildgcs containing within Its bor ders and surrounded by so many of ihe native growths Intended for use In the provision of comfort for man, J have found tho most naturally home. 111(0 place on the coast. "I havo farmed nearly " of my lire. When T " t n,,sy ' I,ro fesslpuni activities to be my own farm hand, I superintended the work. I was particular about It. I farmed right; and I succeeded. I could have mieeecdud here. You havo no hur ricanes; no cyclones; no floods. You ought to havo no drouths, for you should long ago have watered the farms of the valloy fiom your abund ant mountain springs, lakes and streams. That neglect Is another reason for my belief that you don't know how rloh you are In natural resources and how freo ou are from the terrors and the fierce outbursts of the elements. It is so easy and so comfortnblo Just to live hero that many of you haven't sought to Im prove the situation by tho use of a great bounty of materials that nature gave you. Improvement in Sight "I find evldonro of progress In the new generation that has taken hold of things here, however. They nre ambitious for bettor things. They nppear to appreciate their heritage. They possess civic pride. They havo Been the world outside and havo been stimulated by the mighty forces that first gave emphasis to the word 'ad vancement.' Tho case has been pre sented to me by old pioneers here. 1 have analyzed It, Tho men of tho emigrants' trail, menaced at all times bj- dangers to llfo and tho fear of failure, did a great servlco for these joung men and women who will reap tlip harvest of their courage and dar ing Theso fathers and mothors ought to be promoted to the retired list and their pension should be a homo of comfort and ease, prepared y tnoso ror whom they blazed tho way 'Don't bother the old men of the valley. Let them rest In peace. Take care, how over, that you young fel- lows iiuu i gei mai uauii ioo eariy in life. It Is easy to cultivato It In an atmosphere like this. It Is your duty ta make this rich valley fairly hum with energy and enterprise. There nre thousands of acres of productive soil here that you have left to tho rabbits and chipmunks. That Is shameful waste. God didn't intend this wholo valley for a playground. That's why the Indians wero driven out. It was a just punishment; and It ought to be made a case of the sur vival of tho fittest. "I .saw Crater Lake two months ago," concluded the doctor. "1 can not describe it. It would be a great Joy to me. If I could. It Is tho grand est natural sceno I ever saw. In all the world It Is alone In Its glory. Ar tists havo pnlnted It very beautifully; but the atmosphere of Its rugged grandeur Isn't there. It Is an em erald gem set In tho crest of the mountain as a special charm fur ther to adorn the beauties about It." TABLE ROCK TABLETS K. YV. Cniltou ha returned from u trip to the Panama exposition.

He spoke of the opportunities of democratic America. "I like to think of tho hoy in the gutter," he declared, "who will some day stand up and speak tho vnico of America." Stand on Own Merits Business, the president declared, should stand on its own feet. Amcri can business men should not, be afraid to match wits with nnv n the. world. The typical American should bo entiiely independent. He added that business men do not need the help of official Washington as much us they think they do. "Too many business men," he Raid, "run down to Washington and say, 'it looks like rain; for Ood's sake give us shelter.'" The president, amid great np plnii.se, declared ho believed that when the present war is over the people of the world will demand guar autees that peace shall tcign. "If America preserves her self possession," ho added, "he may ex ert a great mediating influence. I mean spiritual mediation, unt gov ernment mediation.".
