The supper at G.. ii. Martien' s
was we'll attended. The ladies
proved themselves royal entertain
ers and cleared about 1924. The
quilt made and donated to the
church by Miss Mary Byars was a
fine specimen of artistic needle
work, very unique and altogether
a thing of beauty, The auctioneer
in presenting it for sale made an
eloquent talk, calling attention to
the cause for which it was made,
paying a high tribute to the sweet
Christian spirit which prompted
the action, and altho it was start
ed very low, bidding was quite
brisk up to the $3.50 mark when
some one proposed to raise n purse
and buy the quilt and return it to
her who had spent so many tedi-
GUS hours over it. A paper was
circulated and in Il few moments a
purse of 5000 was raised which
secured the quilt for her. This
Jealous Christian girl tho deprived
of some of the blessings which
stout, able bodies enjoy has by
persistent effort contributed 500 to
the Masters service and the salts
fed and happy look which illumin-
ated her face when apprised of the
facts was enough to inspire every
heart present to a nobler and high
err life. No mistake was made in
selecting Jas. l.. McQuis of Mont
gomery City as auctioneer. A ge-
NAL gentleman, up-to-date, he
made a lasting impression. espec-

THE SCHEM ERS.

The following editorial shot is
from the Shelbina Democrat:
Opponents of Folk are trying to
belittle the Doodle issue in the state.
They pooh-pooh, sneer and laugh
about these matters, declaring
they amount to but little, are not
half so serious as Folk would have
us believe, etc. But all this is too
thin to deceive people. Honest
men realize that when the lieuten-
ant governor confesses to bribery
and state senators are indicted for
the offense, and Doodle is plainly
indicated in many quarters, it has
ceased to be a laughing matter.
The honor of the state has been
tainted and her good name be
smirched. 1t is too serious to be
trifed with and sneers cannot hide
the disgrace, and he who attempts
to belittle the gravity of the 'situa-
ton but publishes his own folly.

Hall Jones, aged about is, a
son of Mayor E. E. Jones of this
city, was guiding large traction
engine near his fathers farm, ten
miles southwest of Mexico, last
Friday and he caught his foot in
one of the large cog wheels.
Young Jones was dragged thru
the cogs to above the knee and his
leg was awfully mangled. Worse
vet the mangled limb could not be
removed from the machine where
it was caught and there he was
held for over an hour. Neighbors
endeavored to break the wheel to
get him out but finally had
to take the machinery apart.
1t is thought the young man
may save his leg, but he has been
a great sufferer.

want Folk for Governor because
he is supported by Republicans.
That is little singular. Heretofore
the man who could poll the most
votes from the opposition party in

strongest candidate. We know of
a certain Congressman in this State,
popular turnout the nation, who
always polls a large number of Re-
publican votes. One of Missouri's
United States Senators is also
strong with both parties. This is
not weakness in these men, but
their strength. The same is true
