FARMERS NEAR
FAIR ARE FLEECED.
Lost Watch Game Proves Attractive
and Five Agriculturists Report
Losses s-Tramp Plays Star
Part.
From the St. Louis post.pispath.


Farmers living near the Fair are be-
ing fleeced In novel way, Five in
stances have been reported where they
have lost from s25 to $50 apiece. The
sharpers are two In number, one tall
well-dressed, prosperous looking in
dividual and the other an unkempt,
unshayen fellow, who assumes the role
of tramp. Both play their game to
perfection. Here is the method en-
ployed to separate the farmer from his
money.
The tall, well-dressed individual
presents himself near the farmers
place towards evening and appears to
be looking for something be had lost.
The farmer shows himself and the
game begins.
"That watch is worth $500 and ]
wouldn't lose 1t for sl000," remarks
the prosperous locking individual, as
he continues his search around the
ground.
"Well, it's too dark TO hunt further, "
says the apparently distracted man.
The farmer volunteers to get up
early in the morning and take up the
search. Before leaving, however, the
stranger gives the farmer his card and
tells him that there is 800 on it fol
him II he brings the watch to bis
office. Bright and early the next
morning the farmer is hunting.
Then the tramp does bis turn.
"What yer lookin' fer?" asks the
tramp. The farmer explains. The
tramp finds the watch. The farmer
wants it. The tramp says nit" and
adds that he will get the sl0O himself.
The farmer tells the tramp that he
alone has the mans address. The
tramp realizes that be is at the mercy
Of the farmer and sells the watch. The
farmer goes to town to deliver the
watch and get the reward. He can
not find his man and incidentally he
discovers while In the city that the
watch In worthless.

by Mi-o-na, the dyspepsia remedy, ant

to keep stock on hand.
1t is very popular with well known

them closely confined, while those wht
have brought on Indigestion through
irregular eating, worry or other causes
have found q cure in this reliable
remedy.

pecially designed for convenience IL
carrying the medicine in the pocket
or purse. 1t is pleasant to take; cost

lasting cures.
This remedy has been so uniformly
successful and made so many remark

will in future sell Mi-o-na under {
positive guarantee to refund thu
money II 1t should not cure. No other
dyspepsia medicine ever had a large
enough percentage Of cure SO that II

CAPT. J. 6, BUCKNFR


The death OF Capt. j. q. Buckner,
| OF Mexico, removes from the sphere
Of action one OF the strongest charac-
ters In Audrain county and a citizen
for whom the Forum has had profound
respect. He was justly recognized as
a man OF high sense of honor, ever
sincere, firm In bis convictions, and
chiyalrous to degree that won for
him the esteem and respect OF all. In
politics Capt. Buckner was a fighter,
and he fought In the open, says the
Farber Forum. He was quick In dis
cernment and never wavered in de-
cision. No proposition could discour-
age him and he never made surrender
until ever inch Of ground had been
contested. He had been prominent in
both county and State and was dis
tinguised as an organizer of forces.
Under all circumstances he was loyal
to his friends, an efficient, faithful
and pains taking public servant, a
man whose personal character was
above reproach and who lived to prove
bimself worthy Of the confidence of
the people. May the mantle of char
ity cover his faults, and in our hum
BILE tribute may we pause to repeat:
Soldier, rest! thy warfare DER,
Sleep the sleep that knows not
breaking;
Dream Of battletields no more,
Days Of danger, nights OF waking
In our isles enchanted hall,
Hands unseen thy couch are strew-
ing,
Fairy strains OF music fall,
Every sense In slumber dewing.
Soldier, restl thy warfare o'er,
Dream Of fighting fields no more;
Sleep the sleep that knows not break
ing,
Morn Of toll, nor night of waking"

FULL POWER FOR
FOLK in JACKSON
GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE TO
NAME ENTIRE COUNTY DELE
CATION TO JEFFERSON
CITY.
PRIMARY CALLED FOR JUNE is
Vandiver Addresses Committee in
Favor of Full Ticket in Accord
With Anti-Boodle Principles.

KANSAS Cry, Mo-, May 26.-The
Democratic County Central CON-
mittee met at Independence this
morning and by vote Of 81 to Is
decided to hold ballot primary for
State officers June Is, the candidate
for Governor receiving the largest
number OF votes to name the entire
delegation to the State Convention at
Jefferson City.
Those who have been opposed to Mr..
Folk since his campaign began, while
proclaiming their loyalty to him now,
made an effort to prevent Mr.. Folks
naming the delegation, but they were
quickly voted down.
The committee also decided that at
the same primary delegates should be
chosen to the Supreme Court Judicial
Convention and the convention to
name delegates to the National Con-
vention.
Charles NJ. Howell said that there
was no right by law or reason why Mr..
Folk should name the delegation from
jackson County.
"There are number of officers be-
sides Mr.. Folk to be elected, he said,
"and Mr.. Folk should not have the
privilege Of naming men who shall
vote for them. Let the Democracy
name them"
Mr.. Kemper, after acknowledging
that Mr.. Folk would be the nominee,
pleaded for harmony, and insisted that
Mr.. Folk should not have anything TO
say regarding the delegation.
"Mr. Vandiver is here" said ]. b.
Shannon. "Unless there is objection,
l would suggest that he tell us whether
or not there is precedent for this
action"
There being no objection, Mr.. VAN
diver said;
MUST ACCORD WITH FOLK.
"Now that the fight for Governor
has been settled, there are other pro-
blems that are somewhat embarrass-
ing. want to say, however, that the
nomination of Mr.. Folk should be
followed by the nomination Of other
candidates who will be in accord with
the principles that he has been advo-
eating. / know Of no better way to
arrive at that result than by the
method outlined in that resolution -
Mr.. Howell again took the floor. He
went over the same argument, and in
addition spoke of Mr.. Folk asa "boss. 4"
This brought Frank P. Walsh to bis
feet, and he made the most vigorous
plea Of the day in favor of the resolu-
tion as it stood. Said Mr.. Walsh: 81
am indeed surprised to hear Mr..
Howell say that Joseph W. Folk has
been attempting to act the part of the
boss.
"Mr. Folk has never In any county
asked to be allowed to name bis own
delegation, although that privilege
has been accorded to him on various
occasions.
'If you send delegation to Jeffer-
son City that, while it will vote for
Mr.. Folk, will at the same time place
man on the Committee Of Resolu-
tions to report platform not in har-
mony with Mr.. Folks views, the
nation will say, Your cry Of reform is
fraud and your candidate is fraud,
while your issues are only a pretext.
"No man should stand up here and
place a straw In his way.n

Sixty New York club women, just
before st. Louis was reached the other
day were thrown into temporary
panic when some one called attention
to the fact that the local biennial
board had requested all arriving dele
gates to wear knot of pale blue rib
bon on the side of the corsage, so that
the committee who met the train
might identify them.
Not one Of all the sixty had provided
herself.
However one Of their number was
wearing a gorgeous underskirt whose
luxurlant fiounces were threaded with
yards upon yards Of blue ribbon. A
lifted frock betrayed this TO the

CLARK TALKS ON BANKING.

Flom the ST. Louis Republic,
The banks should be taken out Of

business. There is no reason why the
Secretary Of the Treasury should rush
to the aid Of Wall street gamblers

Missouri Bankers Association In the
Missouri Building yesterday after
noon. And it was sentiment that
was literally applauded.

that the Government keeps vast sums

Ike johnson is convinced that sheep
pay better than any other class of
stock In Monroe county. He rs con-
vinced that there lsmore money In win
tering the lambs than In selling them
during the first summer. An average
lamb, says Ike, will bring 90 in July.
Keep him till the next spring and bis
fleece at present price about sl.75 and
the yearling will sell for $3.50, a total
Of 1925. The cost Of wintering is very
light while the lamb and its wool sell
for 1925 more than it brings in July.
Better keep bunch of sheep on q farm
than rent 1t out, says ike. He tried
this plan on l4O acres. The income
from the flock was $500. Paris Appeal.
