Frenchmen, Germans, and lrlshmen has formed a commonwealth, Missouri, that is excelled by only four or five sister states in the general contribution to the nation's strength and wealth. Natureis endowments to Missouri were rich, and together with a stock of ninety-five per cent of native born Americans, she has made a rapid advance since her entrance to the Union. Situated at the junction of the Mississippi and Missouri valley systems, she may be designated as the strate- gic point of the most productive region in the world. Possessing such an advantageous geographical position, Missouri commands very economical river transportation and is the center of innumerable transportation facilities. Her affluence is greatly enhanced by her very valuable agricultural products, in which she ranks fifth, with an approximate valuation of 5940,- 000,000 yearly. As a consequence of her supremacy in this respect, she is the true agricultural center of the United States. According to eminent geologists, Missouri's mineral output is of an extraordinary nature. Moreover, a great diversity is revealed in her mineral wealth, thereby insuring a continued development. The value of Missouri's mineral output has quadrupled in the past two decades, the estimated value at present averaging about 560,000,000 yearly. The average citizen of Missouri is characterized by his middle of the road policy, thus giving rise to the famed expression, Show me, l'm from Missouri. The Missourian invites progress, but he advocates conservatism. l-le is gradually sensing the benefits derived from a public educational system, and he has organized a very eflicient one. A marked transition is revealed in the change of the Missourian's attitude towards the growth of art and culture. The citizen of Missouri is a born colonizer, statistics revealing the fact that one out of every three persons assists in the colonization of a sister state. Missouri has long been the guiding star in the Vvestern firmament, and with these innumerable assets, her future is even brighter than her past. Nineteen
