ANOTHER CHRISTMAS TRAGEDY
Constable Shoots Man who Re.
sisted Arrest.
Relatives of Mcdonald Hold Killing Unjus-
tifable and will Attempt to
Prosecute Chism.

Naylor, Dec. 26 = Special. :
Alden Chism, constable of Newton
township, shot and killed Lum
Mcdaniel, a young farmer living
21a miles southeast of Holland, at
four O clock yesterday afternoon.
Chism fired four shots from a pis-
tol, each bullet taking effect. Two
entered McDaniel's breast, another
his back and a fourth penetrated
his hand.
Mcdaniel and his brother, Al
bert, had been in Naylor all day
and it is stated that they were
drinking abusing nearly everyone
they met and threatening to kill
anyone who interfered with them.
When Constable Chism attempted
to arrest Lum Mcdaniel, it is al
legged that he resisted and started
toward Chism with an open knife,
when Chism drew his pistol and
fred. Chism fired twice at the ad-
vancing man, who then turned
away, when the constable again
fired twice. Mcdaniel walked
about 40 or SO yards and fell, dy-
ing in about IS minutes.
Young Chism's father, J. L.
Chism, telephoned Immediately to
Sheriff w. NJ. Brady at Conway,
and asked him to come out and
take his son in custody. On ac-
count of alleged threats of the dead
mans brother and father that they
would kill Chism on sight, he re-
mained in hiding all last night,
coming in and surrendering to
Sheriff Brady early this morning.
McDaniels body was taken to
his fathers home near Holland i'm
mediately after the shooting.
Mcdaniel was "a years of age
and was unmarried. His body
will! be buried tomorrow at Oak
land.
Exonerated by Coroner's Jury.
Holland, Dec. 26.-Special.-
At the inquest over the body of
Lum Mcdaniel held by Coroner J.
H. Pence, the jury at II o'clock
returned verdict exonerating
Alden Chism from blame for killing
Mcdaniel. The inquest was held
at the home of Andy Mcdaniel,
father of the dead man, where the
body was brought Immediately af
ter the killing. Six witnesses
were examined by the coroner and
the burden of the evidence was to
the effect that Chism fired on Nc
Daniel while the latter was ad-
vancing upon him with knife,
and that Chism warned him twice
to stop before he fired.
1t was also brought out that on
ly three shots were fired by Chism,
instead OF four, as was first report
ed. What was thought to be a
wound from a bullet entering the
back was shown to have been
caused by bullet which entered
the abdomen and penetrated the
bOdv.

THOUGHT 1T NATIONAL TRAIT.
Driver Couldn't Understand American
Not Being in a Hurry.

A traveller returned from Jaffa tells
tale at his own expense. Having
journeyed to the historical seaport on
his way to Jerusalem, he succeeded
in hiring conveyance to carry him
to the station. By speech and gesture
he informed the native driver that he
wished to be carried in a leiSurely,
sightseeing fashion through as many
as possible of the principal thorough
fares of Jaffa, and to be delivered at
the terminal just in time to take the
outgoing train.
He had no sooner seated himself in
the vehicle, however, than the driver
whipped up his horse and whirled the
dismayed traveller at furious pace
through all the dust and over all the
stones of the notoriously rough streets
of Jaffa. The passenger was too bus
lily employed in saving his bones to be
able to see anything of the interesting
town.
Arriving at the station, he found
that he still had two hours to wait
why in the world" he demanded,
Indignantly. did you ever hurry like
that?"
You American" responded the
driver, with an expressive shrug. "All
American like go very much fast

How He Got Rid of Rats,

A farmer describes his method of

small amount of concentrated lye. l
then placed the old shingles around
under the stable floors and under the

DuSTLESS ROADWAYS.
We Now Have the Luxury of Abso.
lutely Dustless Roadways.

A bulletin issued last July by the
Kansas City park board makes the
above statement. A year ago, during
the summer months, the board had
its whole force of sprinkling wagons
going every day in an attempt to keep
down the dust which made the enjoy
ment of the park drives impossible at
times. In few hours the hot summer
sun dried the roads, and every pass
ing motor car left clouds of fine rock
dust to settle on the foliage along the
drive. Now a motor car passing at the
highest speed over any portion of the
extensive boulevard system leaves no
dusty trail in it's wake The oil has
not only proved much more effective
than water but it is a third cheaper
and preserves the roadways as well.
writes Roy A. Moore, in The World
To-Day. One of the serious problems
here, as in other cities, has been the
wear of the motor car wheels. The
oiled boulevard is also protected from
erosion. Formerly every rainstorm left
ragged gullies which took several
days to repair. The eye of the most
inexperienced could see that some.
thing was needed to bind the macad.
dam, to preserve a smooth surface
without dust and prevent washouts
at the same time. The net savings in
the use of oil for the year was S..

CHANGE IN FOOD
Works Wonders in Health.

1t is worth knowing that change
In food can cure dyspepsia. Il deem
1t my duty to let you know how Grape
Nuts food has cured me of indigestion.
Il had been troubled with it for
years, until last year my doctor recon-
mended Grape-Nuts food to be used
every morning. l followed instruc-
tions and now l am entirely well.
THE whole family like Grape-Nuts,
we use four packages a week. You
are welcome to use this testimonial
as you see fit"
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that it
Is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stom-
ach as the food she had been using;
it also contains the elements required
for building up the nervous system
If that part of the human body is in
perfect working order, there can be no
dyspepsia, for nervous energy repre-
sents the steam that drives the engine
When the nervous system is run
down, the machinery of the body
works badly. Grape-Nuts food can be
used by small children as well as
adults. 1t is perfectly cooked and
ready for instant use.

Where enough crates are provided
for all the seed corn, explains e. b.
Gibbs, in Twentieth Century Farmer,
an equal number of trays may be ar.
ranged so that all of the seed may be
tested at one time and under the same
conditions. The seed should be kept
as near the temperature of the ground
in which the crop is to be planted as
possible. Where it is desired to plant
the seed in soil a wooden crate can be
made of thin lumber and filled level
with soil and spaced off with the cord
the same as the glass tray.
All ears should be discarded that do
not give six good sprouts under fair
conditions, but if by testing you find
a dozen bad ears it will be the best
paying trouble you have had for some
time, besides you can do the testing at
odd times and it is worth more than
the cost just to know that you have
started the years work right, and you
can depend upon the seed when the
time comes to plant. If you cannot
, figure out how it is going to pay, 20
on and test, and the extra corn in the
crib next fall will show for itself. An.
other year save your corn from the
field before frost and store it in the
crates.

COMPLAINTS ABOUT PAINT.

The time to complain about paint
is before the painter applies it. The
man who puts up the money should
not shirk the responsibility of choos-
ing the paint. True, the painter
ought to know paint better than the
banker, the professional man or the
merchant. The trouble is, the house
owner too often deliberately bars the
competent and honest painter from
the job by accepting a bid which he
ought to know would make an honest
job impossible.

Counting a Billion.

Speaking of counting the hairs of
your head--suppose you undertook to
count a billion, how long do you think
it would take you to do it? A billion,
according to the French notation.
which we follow IS a thousand mil
lions. If you had before you a pile
of silver dollars containing a million,
and could count one every second, for
eight hours every day, it would take
you 80 days to complete the task. But
suppose you undertook to count a
thousand of those million-dollar piles
you would be at work eight hours a
day for $4,000 days, or about 100
years.

DESERVED TO WIN HIS CASE.
Really Able Argument Put Forward

A very good story has recently been
told in the fleet of an incident which
happened when Admiral Evans was in
command of the Indiana. An old-time
bluejacket was at the mast before
Capt. Evans, charged with getting
food out of a mess chest outside of
meal hours. This getting Of food for
night watches is common and strong
desire on the part of most men aboard
ship.
Capt. Evans asked the man what he
had to say; and the man, sizing up
the delicate situation, said:
Captain, didn't take no food outer
that chest. Why, captain, there
weren't no food in that chest!
looked in that chest, and, captain,
met a cockroach coming out of that
chest with tears in his eyes. ."-Har-
