killing. Mr. Scheidt is positive that
Stevens had no weapons on Thursday.

COTTON SCALE
DESTROYS TREES

The cotton scale. a parasite that will
surely destroy maple trees if it is not
killed, has attacked practically every
maple tree in the city. The scale may
be seen on the trees anywhere and
looks like little balls of cotton.
The little cotton balls contain the
larva of insects which sting the leaves
of the trees and kill them. All of the
trees in Harrison park are affected and
apparently nothing is being done to
save them
The scale has spread to other trees
in the neighborhood. and unless prompt
action is taken every maple tree in
the city may be killed. The scale was
first discovered by W. b. Conkey, who
had his gardener find soap and oil
solution that would kill it,

WHY NOT A NEW JAIL?

The matter of providing sanitary
and model Jail for the county pris-
oners in Boone county has been a
tabled issue" the last year. After
the defeat of the measure some time
ago its supporters agreed that it
should be brought up again at the ex-
piration of the time limit for another
bond election. 1t won't be long until
this time will arrive
As has been pointed out in the past,
the present quarters for county pris-
oners is small and unsanitary. An
other fault the campaigners held
against it was that the segregation of
the persons could not be arranged in
the present building because of the
lack Of cells and other facilities. This
doubtless is the most important fault,
for at times it is necessary to place
persons there who are far from crin:-
nails but who are forced to associate
with those who are serving sentences
or awaiting a trip to Jefferson City.
The building has been in service for
about half a century. Every man who
favors better treatment of the law
breakers, thereby lessening criminal
ity, should see that his influence for
a better jail here is exerted.
