CHASING THE RAINBOW.
I remember when I was a boy
How often I was told
That at the very rainbow's end
I'd find a pot of gold.
I remember how it seemed to me,
Just where the sun would set?
Way down in Happy Hollow?
I seem to see it yet.
And when I'd start to find the gold?
Just at the setting sun?
I found that where it seemed to be?
'Twas a little farther on.
And so I chased the rainbow's end
Through the fields of Happy Hollow,
But when I'd try to grasp the gold
It beckoned me to follow.
I chased it on along the road,
And then along the river;
I chased it on beyond the brook
That still flows on forever.
I've chased that rainbow far and
wide?
I'm chasing it today?
I've chased it every day in life
?... i?
wuvii litj uaii is nitty.
I've chased it oft throughout the
world?
I've been throughout this land,
But then the gold that I have found
Is like the drifting sand.
And yet the rainbow of today
Stands for a promise true;
It is a promise unto me
And a promise unto you.
It beams to me and it beams to you
From out its pristine glory,
And as the days go flitting by
It tells the same old story.
It tells us why God sent to earth
Just forty days of rain,
And while the world was then destroyed
It ne'er shall be again.
And from that story I have learned
Though as a fable it was told,
Bevond the rainbow in the sky
The streets are paved with gold.
Then dry your eyes, my brothers,
And wiDe awav vour tears
For where there's hope for you and
me
It drives away our fears.
And yet I love that rainbow?
The rainbow of the sky?
For the God who made the rainbow
Still rules and reigns on high.
My mother who was with me then
Now sleeps beneath the sod,
But while her flesh has turned to dust
Her spirit dwells with God.
And when I leave this world behind
And join the Master's fold,
I know beyond the rainbow
I'll And that pot of gold.

CORN CLUB BOYS
COMING TO FAIR
BAKER MAKES ARRANGEMENTS
FOR EXHIBITS.
No Entrance Fees?Under New System
Prizes Worth $68 Will Be
Distributed for Best Displays.
Announcement was made by State
fair officials yestetday that the fee
of $10, which was to have been col
lectea ior eacn entry by corn club
boys, had been cancelled. This fee
was regarded as a deterrent factor in
enlisting entries from the corn clubs,
and in consequence was removed, that
the youngsters from all sections of
the State might be encouraged to
bring exhibits to the State fair.
Another inducement was offered in
the matter of enlarged premiums in
this department. Previously, premiums
amounting only to $37.50 we;,
to have been awarded. Under the
new arrangement, prizes amounting to
$68 will be paid, and no entrance fees
will be collected. Immediately upon
the decision, L. L. Baker, supervising
agent of the boys' club work in this
State, dispatched circulars to all corn
club members throughout the State,
urging attendance upon the State fair
and explaining the schedule of premiums
to be paid.
In class A prizes, $40 will be dis*
tributed. These are for the greatest
yield per acre, combined with the best
written report of production, the best
profit paying investment and the best
ten ears from the eren tu. fi?1
?... vw v? vp. i IIC III 91
prize in this class is for $15; the second
$10 and a third $5.
Where the entry consists only of the
ten-ear exhibit, without -history of
crop or estimated cost of production,
prizes amounting to $23 will be paid.
The three premiums in this class are
$10, $8 and $5 respectively.
For the single ear exhibits, prizes
to the value of $15 will be paid. These
are $7, $5 and $3. Mr. Baker emphasizes
that these prizes are separate
and distinct from all other county
and State prizes offered, and are intended
only to substitute for the
premium list originally adoptetd by
the State fair.
Mr. Baker believes that he will
have as many as 100 exhibits. The
corn club boys will also be a prominent
factor in the harvest jubilee pa*
rade. These will be dressed in farm
life regalia, the outfit designated being
overalls and a broad brimmed palmetto
hat. Each boy will bear as
season idea. Each boy will bear as
a staff a huge stalk of corn, a fitting
emblem of the "sacred order of com
club boys."

SMALLEST COTTON CROP
IN THE PAST SIX YEARS.
Heavy DeclTne in Condition Indicates
That This Year's Production Will
Not Run Over 11,000,000.
Washington, Oct. 4.?A heavy decline
in the condition of the growing
cotton crop, almost double the average
decline of the last 10 years, during
September, has decreased the production
prospects forecast earlier ir
the season by almost 1,000,000 bales,
The department of agriculture todaj
estimated the crop at 10,5)50,000 equivalent
500-pound bales, which would
be the smallest crop since 1909.
In announcing the condition report
and production estimate, the crop reporting
board made this statement:
"The cotton crop condition declined
8.4 points during the month, August
25 to September 25, which compareo
with an average decline in the same
period in the past 10 years of 4.E
points. The estimated condition of
00.8 per cent of normal on Septembei
25 forecasts a yield per acre of about
I 108 pounds and a total Drodnetinn
(allowing a reduction of 1 per ceni
from planted area for abandonment)
of about 10,950,000 bales. Lastyear's
production totaled 10,135,000 bales and
the 1913 crop 14,150,000. A crop less
than 11,000,000 bales would be smaller
than any crop since 1909.
"The unusual deterioration has
been due principally to the extremes
of weather conditions; periods of excessive
rainfall, cold weather and
drought having characterized the season
in most of the cotton belt. Lack
of fertilizer and poor quality of that
used has been an unfavorable factor
in the eastern portion of the belt.
There is little promise of a top crop
except in the northern portions of the
belt, due to the climatic conditions
and the unusual activity of the bon
weevil; and where a top crop is setting
in in the northern portions of the belt
the latest report of the crop there
makes realization dependent upon future
favorable weather and late frost.
"The month, much of it warm and
dry, has been generally favorable to
picking and a much larger percentage
of the crop is ginned to this date than
the usual year. In much of the southern
portion of the belt ginning is far
advanced and in some sections there
picging is practically completed."
The condition of the crop on September
25 was 60.8 per cent of a
normal, compared with 69.2 per cent
on August 25, 73,5 per cent last year,
64.1 per cent in 1912, and 68.3 per
cent, the average of the past 10 years
on Sentflmluir 9K
The September 25 condition indicates
a yield of 168 pounds of lint per
acre, which applied to the planted
acreage less the average abandonment?1.3
per cent?indicates a total
of 10,950,000 equivalent 500-pound
bales;-compared with 16,135,000 ball^a
ginned last year. -Final results prob*
ably will be above or below the
amount indicated according as conditions
after September 25 are better
or worse than average.

PENNSYLVANIA MINE Vli i ini
IS SLOWLY SINKING.
Pittsburgh, Oct. 1.?Men, women
and children during last night hurriedly
abandoned their homes in Valley
Camp, a village on the Allegheny
river near here, as holes yawned in
streets, houses toppled dangerously
an^ gas and water mains broke.
The village was built over the
workings of what had been an important
coal mine and as the decayed
supports in the abandoned workings
gave way, the surface settled over a
considerable area. The damage began
after noon and while several
streets were closed to traffic, many
houses began to settle. In a number
of instances porches dropped into
holes in the ground, while in others
houses were left standing on the
edge of dangerous openings. The ex*
tent of the damage will not be known
until the surface has Anally settled,
which it was said by mining men,
might be several weeks*

| IN MEMORIAM.
; Mrs. P. B. Stewart departed this
life Sept. 23, and was laid to rest the
following day in Padgett's Creek cemetery.
She was a woman of a lovable
Christian character and a good neighbor,
good wife and a noble mother.
She loved her children so much, but
was ready and waiting for God's bidding.
She craved so much to go home
to rest where there's no pain nor suffering.
She was like a home-sick
mother yearning to go home. All the
regret she had was leaving her children
and husband. She was a woman
that always loved Christian work, and
always welcomed ministers of all denominations
in her home, and never
closed her door on a traveller. For
nearly 35 years she was a member of
the Baptist church, joining at Mt.
Lebanon and after her marriage moving
(.her membership to Padgett's
Creek. She was before her marriage
Miss Lou Smith.
The surviving ones are: P. B. Stewart,
husband, and Mrs. T. E. Wilburn,
Mrs. N. M. Wilburn, D. T., W. 1). and
W. P. Stewart, all of Sedalia.
We loved her, O, we loved her,
But Jesus loved her more.
She has gone to be with Jesus
On that bright and peaceful shore.
Tho her weary body's resting,
There beneath the cold, cold clav.
Where all pain is prone forever
And she waits the judgment day.
We miss her, 0, we miss her,
Here on this lonesome path.
Her home is dark without her;
We miss her everywhere.

blue ribbons and the remark of the
little girl, "The cat is out of the bag."
