THE DEt DS WE MEANT TO DO
I reckon when my summons comes
And all my time of life is through,
I shall look back and see a lot
Of things I really meant to do.
Try as I will, I'm sure that at
The end of ime I'll turn and sigh
As I review the chances that
I had to help,' and passed them by.
I tell myself from day to day
I'll do this simple little deed
And then somehow I turn away
For what seems then of greater need.'
But when the time for help has gone,
When on my chance has set the sun,
Then comes to me the thought of one
More helpful thing I might have done.
We should not ever put away '
One instant deeds we mean to do,
Nor keep the kind words we should say
Our selfish motives to pursue.
For when, to fly on angel wings
Away from earth, at last we're bid,
Then shall we sigh o'er many things
We meant to do, but never did.

LETTER FROM IDAHO
A. H. Doenn'fg. who recently
moved from hereto Idaho Palls,
Ida., writes "I like this country
fine out here sure some great
farming country) I was out in
the country one day last week
and I never saw such crops be
fore in my life. I saw wheat that
will bring 60. bushels to the acre,
and a field of oats, 160 acres, that
will average 50 bushels to the
acre, and everything else is the
same. I never saw potatoes un
til I came here. There is sure
some difference.
"This is a dandy little town of
about 6000 population, but far
ahead, of Missouri towns of this
sizemiles of paved streets, and
nice cluster of electric lights on
each side of the streets and nice
business buildings. The Snake
river runs right by the town and
the scenery is fine.
"The harvest is on here now
and it will be two weeks yet be
fore all the grain is cut. I have a
nice place to work here. We go
to work at 7:30 and close at 6:30.
In the winter we open at 8 and
close at 6 o'clock. We have a
stock here about the size of Calla
ways. Business is very good
here at present and this is con
sidered a dull month. Indica
tions are that it will keep up as
crops are good and that is what
makes business.

DAMAGED BY FIRE
By reason of a forest fire Sun
day afternoon the property of
the Shoal Creek Fishing Club,
known as Camp Shoal, on Shoal
creek, near Ritchey, Was badly
damaged. '
The Club, composed of a num
ber of Monett and Cassville citi
zens, purchased last year a tract
of fine timber land and erected
thereon a log club house.
Sunday some one set out a fire
in the timber west of the camp
and a terrible conflagration was
the result. - .
The wind drove the fire into
the company's grounds and at
least one half of the tract was
burned over. Many fine oak and
black locust were burned to the
ground and all the young timber
destroyed.
Fortunately a number of Mo
nett people were at the camp and
by the heroic efforts of the six
male members of the party and
the assistance of the women, the
club house was saved. At times
the flames would leap to a height
of 30 to 40 feet, stripping the
trees of their foliage to the top
most branches.

Pearl Vermillion have gone to

THE RICHEST MAN
His hand is endowed with the
magic touch that turns all things
to gold, and he gathers wealth
with a greedy clutch like the fa
bled king of olu. He is lord of
trade in the teeming mart where
the weak are downward hurled;
he has palaces, lands, and stores
of art the richest man in the
world. But he has no share in
the sunset's gold nor the myriad
gems of night; for his soul is
cramped and his heart is old and
spoiled by the grasp of might.
He has lost the charm of the glad
dawn's wealth, rose-tinted and
dew empearled; and he can't buy
youth, and he can't buy health
the richest man in the world. I
have no throne in the realm of
trade, no riches nor rank nor
state; but I have my cot in the
peaceful glade, and my loved ones
at the gate. And I sit and dream
when the light is dim and the
day's last flag is furled, and I
take his title away from him
the richest man in the world.
J. E. Harvey, who was over
