During the entertainment at
Grand Army hall last Friday night,
and while the hall was crowded
with people, some boys who ought
to have displayed better sense, cut
the electric light wires :and threw
the hall in darkness. This was a
very serious crime instead Of a
harmless Halloween joke as it was
perhaps intended. To thus dis
turb a public meeting was a viola
tion of law and to cut electric light
wires is also violation Of law and
it may yet bring severe punishment
those who took part in the wilful
destruction Of property. At least
four Of the boys are known. The
officials of the electric light COM
pany have given them an opportu-
nifty to come in and square them
selves so far as possible but only
one has yet embraced the oppor-
tunity and the matter will probably
be placed in the hands of the
authorities within a few days.
This is too serious a matter to let
pass anda lesson should be taught
boys who indulge in such cussed-
ness

A Christmas Gift

Christmas is drawing near and
what is more valued than a nice
photo well finished up in an up-to-
date style, Everybody wants baby's
picture and we like to make pictures
they are so cute. We know the
children would dearly love to have
a natural photo of father and
mother. Don't put these matters
off, have the sittings made now
before the December rush, and
considering the uncertainty of life
after a while it may be too late to
get them made at all. Our prices
are very low, quality considered.
Until Dec. 1, 1918 we will give
nice premium with every dozen
photos or larger. The

CROSS STATE TRIP SATURDAY
From St. Joseph to Hannibal Over
White Cross Highway

DR.. q. 7. Standby has received
a letter from g. F. Adams, OF
ChiIlicothe, president Of the Han
nibal and st. Joseph cross-state
highway association, to the effect
that final arrangements have been
made for a run across the state,
leaving st. Joseph Saturday morn
ing, November 5, at eight o'clock
on the way to st. Louis to attend
the national good road convention.
Committeeman along the route
have all been notified to have the
roads in as good shape as possible
on that date as several state
officials will be in the party, one
of whom will probably be Cover
nor Major. Just where the party
will stop Saturday night depends
on the roads. 1t will probably be
Brookfeld or Macon City. An
invitation is extended to those who
would like to make the run to ST..
Louis or any part of it to join
them atthe most convenient point
and go as far as they please. This
is the initial step towards making
the White Cross highway the
official route across the state from
st. Louis to st. Joseph and every
road booster along the route should
give the undertaking all the assist
ance possible and see that the
roads in their districts are given
special attention from now until
next Saturday afternoon. All
dragging put on the roads now
will not be lost but will be a bene-
fit that will be noticed throughout
the winter. Those having cars in
Laclede and surrounding country
are invited to be ready Saturday
afternoon and join the party and
go at least to Brookfield or as far
as they care to. It will be a fine
thing for this part of the state to
have the official route laid out
through here and all encourage
ment possible should be extended.

The ladies of the American Read
ing Circle entertained their hus-
bands and few invited guests at
a Halloween party given at Grand
Army hall on Thursday evening of
last week. The men were in
structed to assemble down town
and mask and it was certainly a
ghostly procession that made its
way to the hall about 8 O'Clock.
It is said that the masks some of
them wore improved their looks so
much that even their wives could
not recognize them. Contests and
stunts appropriate to the occasion
were enjoyed throught the evening,
and refreshments Of sweet cider
and doughnuts, pumpkin pie,
coffee, fruits and nuts were served.
In all it was a very enjoyable oc
casion for all fortunate enough to
be present.
