being no Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Moons to agitate for
its release. Now that we have it

graduate. we have lauded her loud
ly and strong; but now we intend,
if it isn't too late, to alter the tone
of our song. We want to pay

girl who can spread out a meal -

hearted dove who never will
grumble nor sQueal. She don't CAD
about in a snowy-white dress, and

confess, and isn't afraid of her

ever we're ready to swear by the
girl who can cook a square meal.

Life Sentence.

Mexico Mo-, Aug. 14.-For the
unprovoked murder of August
Wagner, his friend, Luther Ander-
son, must spend the rest of his life
in the Missouri Penitentiary. That
was the verdict returned in the case
The jury, taking advantage of the
alternative, allowed it under the
new Missouri law, found Anderson
guilty of first degree murder and
fixed his punishment at life i'm
prisonment instead of hanging.
The killing of Wagner by Ander-
son was deliberately planned and
cruelty carried out. The victim
was a bachelor and lived alone on a
farm not far from those occupied
by his father and brothers. And
elson and he had been friends, and
Anderson was guest at his vic
TINS home the night OF the killing.
When the crime was discovered
those who first entered the house
found the table still set for two per-
sons, shaving that Wagner had
been struck down by someone who
had accepted his hospitality.

Dragging about the vim, energy
and enterprise of his town, but if
his declarati ons are not backed up
by a liberal amount of advertising
by the business men of the town,
the world will be slow to take his

than the unsupported testimony of

and the best place on earth to buy
goods; his evidence needs corrob-

More Stress On The Three Rs.

The expressed views of Chicago's
new woman superintendent of
education, Mrs. Ella Young, says
the St. Louis Star, must be as pleas
ing to those who are responsible for
her election to that Office as they
are to the vast number of
Americans who believe that latter
day education has drifted too far
from its practical moorings of a de-
cade or so ago.
Il think it is high time to lay
more stress on the old plain forms
known as the three RS" said Mrs.
Young. There have been great
changes in the educational world in
the last ten years. The old methods
were inadequate for the modern
child. An era of fads began. Much
that is good was added to the old
curriculum, but much that is use
less also was added.
The time has come to put a
check on the fads and to determine
what really is useful. l do not in
tend to revert to old-fashioned
methods, but l do wish to make
certain changes toward greater
thoroughness, for l believe in ground
ing the children thoroughly in the
elementals."

The Shepherd knoweth His Sheep"

A noted divine in Washington
was constantly urging his flock to
be more sociable, and to give a
hearty welcome to the stranger
within the gates" not forgetting to
maintain a proper interest in the
members of their own households
After one of his most effective ser
mons on his pet theme he went to
the door as usual and began to
shake hands industriously with the
people passing out after the service.
He was much interested in a
well-dressed and intelligent looking
young girl, apparently a stranger,
and greeted her heartily.
Il hope we may see you often
here" he said. We always have a
warm welcome for new faces"
Thank you, sir" she replied
modestly.
DO you live hereabout?" he went
on.
The girl looked at him with a
puzzled smile. Yes, sir, | do"
Will you kindly leave me your
address, and my wife and l will call
on you some EVENING"" he said.

THIRSTY
And Nothing to Stake it With
Water, Water, Everywhere"

Water, water, everywhere, and
not a drop to drink" was the mari
ners cry.
And that has been the cry of
hundreds of Monroe citizens for
weeks and there was nothing but
the home cistern to 90 to. Why?
Because the Mineral well had a
lock on it.
Just think, hot fair week and
hundreds of visitors passing as good
a mineral well as there is in the
state and they did not know it ex-
listed.

silence and a dry pipe as well as
dry lips and threats. Even Watt

wants the mineral well to run in
full blast for HEALTHS sake.
We cannot learn why it is silent,
why it is a dry pipe, but a vote in
Monroe City today would result in
in the engine or pump running, or
the removal Of both engine and ex-
pensive pump and the replacing of
the wind mill Tor then there would
be water ten months in the year
and the people would know when
they could get the water.
The whole trouble appears to be
what is everybody's business, is no
ones business, hence, practically
everyone is kicking.
But really and truly, that well is
in charge of some one or the coun-
Gil would not have spent the hun
dredS of SIS that it has and that
being true, if it is no ones business,
we respectfully suggest that the
council sees that it is some ones
business to attend to the matter.
