CLOUD CAUSES FRIGHT

Selma, June SpeciaL)--Passengers on the Southern train from Mobile that arrived in Selma this morning about 1 o'clock report a somewhat strenuous time at Jackson and few miles north of that place. It seems that at Jackson a negro had killed another of his race an hour or two before the arrival of the train.
 A posse searching for the murderer traced him to the depot and it was ascef- tained just as the train was pulling out that the negro had sought refuge on the top of the passenger coach. Members or the posse began firing at the top or lle coach and the passengers lost no tune Ill ducking beneath the seats, thinking that the shots were directed at the eoaeh VIII doUs A few miles north of Jackson the train ran over a negro. euttlhg OH HIS arm and leg and innicting injuries rom which it was hardly thought he could re- cover.

New Version of
An Old Adage
Do You Eat For Mere Stimulation Or
For Real Nutrition?

In matters OF money there is an old
adage that says, cts not so much
what you earn as what you save" and
just so, in the question of food and
health, it might be said as truly, cts
not so much what you eat as what
real nourishment you get out of what
you eat"
This is the secret of health, strength
and vitality. No difference how much
nutrition your food contains, if your
system does not assimilate that nutri-
ton, take it up and distribute it thru
out your body-you gain nothing be-
yond a temporary stimulation by hav-
ing eaten it.
Malta Vita, best whole white wheat,
mixed with pure barley malt extract.
thoroughly steamed and cooked, and
every flake baked to a crisp, is rich in
nutrition and is assimilated readily
even by the weakest stomach. Every
one of it's health-giving, strength
building elements is taken up by the
system to nourish and sustain life.
And Malta-Vita is so good to eat!
A perfect breakfast is impossible with
out it, and it's just as good three times
a day. Try a bowlful with cream. You
never tasted anything so good.
Malta Vita is always ready to eat.

DEMOCRACY IN the SCHOOLS.

wondering world, while above her
may be read the ancient legend, Be
yond the Alps Lies Italy"
AS a matter of fact, perhaps, the car
toonist and jokester does the sweet girl
graduate an injustice, because as rule
she is neither silly nor an egotist-
just lovely and lovable, and generally
sensible There is, however, one side

Many bright young girl has endured

of the fact that our schools are sup
posed to be free institutions and public
education free to everybody. Why not
make school life simpler? Cut out the
silks for school girls, and make up the

ISOLATION in Tama county and it in
cludes the merchants Of every town in

in the association is so active that a

is an ever present subject of discussion
with them, but the organization of the
merchants of whole county makes
other things possible. For instance,
the deadbeat living midway between
Toledo and Gladbrook or between
Gladbrook and Garwin, can easily be
spotted when he tries to run up bills
at stores in both places.
Again, acquaintance formed in the
good fellowship of banquet have "a
very strong influence in restraining
merchants at one town from cutting
the threats Of merchants in another
town. 1t is human nature the world
over to find it easier to do mean things
to and say mean things about man
one does not know than it is to be mean
to and talk meanly about friend
whom you know to be pretty good
fellow.
Then there is the benefit of an ex-
change Of ideas. Merchants in a small
town can always see what other mer-
chants in the same town are doing, but
there are few storekeepers who ever
get time to go very far from home and
learn what the rest of the world is do

city merchants than do the storekeep-
ers of their own village. Tama coun-

rut at least. 1t gets him acquainted
with the merchants and the methods of
half dozen other towns, and if knowl-
edge thus gained begets the usual de-
sire for more knowledge, it is not long
until our member of a county organiza-
ton of merchants widens his horizon,
broadens his views, gets out into the
world and posts himself as to the prog
ress of the times, in other words wakes
up and meets conditions as they should
be met. because he has become ac-
quainted with what the new conditions
are and has learned how other mer-
chants meet them.

He is now tasting the first fruits of

ate of the United States as a body
cares little for Mr. LaFollette. AS a

none of those who make up its mem
bership who can win it's respect and a
cordial hearing by scolding and criti-

has ever been that those who attempt
to lecture and find fault have little
force in it's proceedings. The MEM
bers are there for earnest business,
and not to listen to assaults upon the
integrity of those who have the bur-
