ruth CAMERON SAYS
DO NOT WORRY
And Gives Reasons For This
Advice
(By Ruth Cameron.)

DO you ever worry?
If you don't you needn't read any
farther. This isn't for you
But if you are ever afflicted with
that disease, even hardly ever, have
a little medicine chest for you to,
day
in it are thoughts for the worrier,
supplied by some big minded doc
tors.
Your prescription is to take the
whole medicine chest now, and, if you
are a chronic case, every time you
feel the attack coming on.
Here's hoping they will help you.
Don't worry about the future,
The present is all thou hast;
The future will soon be the present,
And the present will soon be the past. "
There are just two things in life
we shouldn't worry about-those we
can help and those we can't Ed
ward Everett Hale.
Never put off till tomorrow what
you can do today, except worry

So she choked herself to death"

TERRIBLE CRIME COMMITTED IN
OUTSKIRTS OF ELLIS
WORTH, KAN.
KILLED WHILE SLEEPING
FIEND ENTERS THE HOME AND
CRUSHES VICTIMS HEADS
WITH AN AXE.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.


Ellsworth, Kan. - The bodies of
Will Snowman, chauffeur, his wife
and three small children, were dis
covered slain in the Snowman home
by a neighbor who CHANGED to call
and who entered the house when no
one responded to his knocks.
The features of all the victims were
battered past recognition by the blows
of an axe, which the slayer had used.
The youngest member of the family,
q baby, had been beaten until its head
was severed from the body. All three
Of the children were under seven
years of age.
The bodies were not discovered un-
til twenty-four hours after the crime
had been committed.
The authorities have failed to find
anything pointing to cause of the
crime, nor a clue to the guilty per-
son.
The Snowman home Is a small, two
room cottage in the outskirts of
Ellsworth, 300 or 400 yards from the
nearest house.
The bodies of the five victims were
found in one room. The father. moth
er and baby on one bed. and the two
other children in a second bed.
The room looked like a slaughter
pen. There was blood on the walls,
ceiling. floor. beds and every article
in the room.
In this room also was the bloody axe
which the murderer had used and
which he had left in his flight.
The night before the murder all the
members of the Snowman family Wis
tied at the home of Mrs. o. w. Shook,
a friend living several blocks away.
They left the Shook home about 8
O'Clock. This was the last time any
of them were seen alive.
Mrs. Shook discovered the quintuple
killing. She called at the Snowman
home. Her knock was unanswered, so
she opened the door and walked int
the house. entering the room in which
the bodies of the five victims lay.
She quickly gave the alarm. 1t was
then nearly dark and the officers were
unable to find anything which would
furnish a clue.

Colorado Springs.-One million dol
lars is to be subscribed and placed in
a fund to endow the International Dry
Farming Congress as an agricultural
society, to carry on experiment, re-

perts from all over the world, men
who have made farming their life
study. In connection with the dry
farming congress several other con-
yentions were held simultaneously,
chief of which is the first Internation-

Corn Shredder Guards.

Efforts are being made by the Indus
trial Commission of Wisconsin to emf
down the appalling number of farm ac-
cldents caused by corn shredding and
husking machines. The commission is
charged by law with the duty of en-
forcing the statute, which requires that
all shredders and huskers shall he
guarded.
The hazard to life and limb. which
mas become greater each year with the
increasing use of shredders, is becom-
ing a serious problem.
Sixteen fatal accidents, two more
likely to result in death, eighty-fve
serious injuries, and thirty-two severe
ones-a total of 1876 accidents-were re-
ported from Minnesota during the past
twenty months.
The Wisconsin legislature in 1911
passed law placing a heavy penalty
upon owners OF unguarded corn shred
GERS. These owners not only NAV be
nned but in addition they are denied
the defense of contradictory negligence
in case of lawsuit growing out of an
INJURY to an employee. This means
that, no matter if the injured person
was careless, he can get damages from
his employer for injury.
Under the law it is the duty of every
person using corn shredding or husking
machine to equip the machine with
safety or automatic feeding devices for
protection from accident by the snap
ping rollers, husking rollers and shred
ding knives.
1t is the duty of the Industrial Com
mission to enforce this law The pen
atty is S25 to 500 for each offense
The corn shredder law prohibits the
sale of shredders which are not fitted
with safety or automatic feeding de-
vices The law also penalties any per-
son operating or maintaining an I'M
guarded machine.

A BRILLIANT FEAT.
New York World

New York World.
In barely eighteen months, if Mr..
Taft's prediction is realized, the Pana-
ma Canal will be opened. Nine years
will have sufficed for joining the Allan
tic and Pacific, period much shorter
than was originally anticipated in plans
on similar scale.
American genius has solved on the
Isthmus the biggest problem ever pre-
sented to modern engineering science.
st the outset it was, necessary to make
deadly diseases characteristic of the
climate. A yellow-fever plague-spot,
as government reports rightfully boast,
has been made a health resort
By piercing the Isthmus and uniting
the two oceans the engineers will have
literally changed the face Of the world.
They are moving Europe thousands of
miles nearer to Asia and placing San
Francisco within easy access by water
of New York. They will soon have
leyelled the greatest natural barrier to
world traffic.
In so quite and matter-of-fact way
has this enormous work been brought
near to completion that its truly spec
tacular nature has almost escaped pop
ular notice. TO the average person at
this distance the digging of the Isthmi-
an waterway has seemed merely a mat
ter of moving so many cubic yards of
dirt Only the imagination is capable
Of viewing it, as it is, as an act Of
creation, transcending whatever else
has been built by the hand Of man.

men giving up the idea that it is neces-

triflng fact that free competition has
nowhere been restored except on paper
disturbs him not at all His innocent
belief that the trust problem is to be
