HERE'S WORD
FOR SAM E. H."
He Needn't Go to School if He'll Just
Come Home, His Mother Says.

NUulC 11OUuCS xAAo NAOSNNA 10yos
Sam E. H.: If you will only come
home or let mamma hear from you
we will not make you 60 to school
any more and everything will be all
right. Answer for your mammal
sake. Her heart is about broken.
She cannot eat or sleep. Answer and
we will send you money. Lovingly,
Mamma and Papa.
y The above appeal was telephoned
to The Star this morning by Mrs. H,
w. Heinlein of 1888 Garfield Avenue.
Her 15-year-old son, Sammie, didn't
like to go to the Wesport High School
so he left home yesterday morning to
seek his fortune, or, as he expressed
it in farewell letter to his mother,
Ito make a man of himself. ;"
According to his mother, Sammie
is a handsome boy with the ruddiest
kind of cheeks and blond hair. He
looks 20 years old, she says. He is s
feet 10 inches tall.
"When he left home Thursday
morning to 60 to school l had an in
tuition that he would not come home, "
Mrs. Heinlein said. ''He had talked
continually about going into the navy
or entering the militia. Sure enough
he didn't come home. A letter came
instead. It said, Dearest Mamma,
and then said that he was going out
into the broad world to make man
of himself and that he wouldn't come
home until he had made a man OF
himself and that we mustn't try to
find him because he couldn' t be found.
Sammie is just at that nervous age
and he just couldn't bear to 60 to
school. And he needn't 90 if he will
only come home. Fridays X. C..

FOSTER BANK ROBBED.
Parties Unknown Crack Safe and Make
Away With Cash and Notes.

The Farmers Bank of Walnut, one
of the most thriving little banks in the
county, was robbed last Thursday
morning at an early hour, the robbers
stripping the bank of practically all
cash on hand and even taking the
notes.
The identity of the yeggmen is I'M
known, but the authorities in charge
of the investigation have number OF
clues upon which they are now al
work and it is confidently expected
that the guilty parties will be appre'
hended in the near future. The news
of the robbery reached this city early
Thursday morning, and j. B. Walton,
accompanied by Sheriff Bullock, W.
B. Weeks and w. R. Bell, drove to
Foster in his car, taking sufficient
cash to enable the bank to continue
business. ...
Entrance to the building was effec-
ted by way of the front door, which
was forced with pinch bar or sim
liar implement. The door to the
vault in which the safe stood, was
blown open, and the safe was then
blown. 1t is presumed that two
shots were necessary to force both
doors of the safe.
The robbers secured $3,212.64 in
cash, over seven hundred dollars of
this being in silver. They also took
all the notes held by the bank,
amounting to $36, 900, however, the
latter will not be a loss to the bank
as the institution has record of all
its paper. Insurance to the amount
of 1850 was carried, which will
more than cover the loss.
Suspicion points to stranger who
arrived in Foster the Monday pre-
ceeding the robbery, who represent
ing himself to be deaf and dumb, so
licited financial aid.
Several parties heard the explo-
sions Of the shots which wrecked the
vault and safe doors, but attached no
especial importance to them. Short
ly after the last explosion, j. L. Bell
heard a noise resembling the loud,
rapid explosions Of an automobile
engine starting. Bearing out this is
fact that fresh automobile tracks lead
ding out Of town were found Thurs
day morning.
Pinch bars and other heavy tools
which were used in effecting an
entrance were taken from the Cecil

Dear Sir:
The Bates county teachers, at their
recent association, unanimously
passed the following resolutions and
desire them published:
Be it resolved by the teachers of
Bates county that:
LIST. We believe that it is necessa-
ry that the rural school teachers have
the entire six hour allotted to him
for the efficient teaching of the eight
grades and that any less time would
necessarily mean neglect of some
part of the work. We therefore rec
ommend and advise that it is to the
best interests of the pupil, the school
and the community that no teacher in
a rural school attempt to teach any
work higher than the eighth grade.
We believe that school boards make
a serious mistake in asking or re-
quiring teachers to teach the same.
End. We wish to thank the men,
bers of the Normal faculty for the
splendid educational feast they have
given us during the association.
/ 3rd. We wish to thank the Butler
Commercial Club for the splendid
entertainment given to the teachers.
4th. These resolutions be printed
in each of the county papers.

His Memory Was Bad.

A young man who had been out West
to seek his fortune and hadn't found it
finally returned home. He had been
compelled to pawn his clothes and
everything he had. He had forgotten
to take the pawn tickets off the
clothes. His fond mother was helping
him unpack his trunk and came upon
a coat with the pawn ticket pinned on
it.
John, what is that" she asked.

once and forgot to take off the ticket

In a few minutes the mother dug up
