A real comedy Of merit is what can
be said of IA Bachelors Honey
moon" which is booked at the Opera
House for Wednesday evening, Aug.
81. The play is full of clean-cut
comedy and original and funny sit
;uations. Benjamin Bachelor is a
widower with two daughters-twins
and is completely unnerved at the
thought of his sister, straight-lac-
ed Puritan, finding he has married
an actress. His clumsy attempt to
keep his newly welded wife from
finding he has two grown daughters
leads to some extremely ludicrous
scenes The leading parts are play
ed by Eddie O'Brien and Miss Rose
Ainsworth, who are supported by a
capable company Of well known
players. ADV. 81 .:s.>:. n. m, u. 81

LARSON Is. HELD
TO SUPERIOR COURT
Hearing of Louis A. Larson, Former.
~ Of Colfax, IS Held at
{ Los AnQeles. u

The hearing Of Louis "A. Larson
took place July 21st and after hear
ing much circumstantial evidence
Justice Summerfield ordered the
prisoner to be held to the superior
court on a charge Of wife murder.
The evidence given at this prelim-
mary hearing was dramatically re
presented by a half dozen witnesses.
It seemed during the hearing that
Larson was ready to collapse. Mo-
tive for the Staying was given by a
pretty young nurse, a woman whom
Larson loved.
An hour after Larson was taken
back to his cell he regained his
composure and announced that he
had secured information hic h
would force his acquittal when tried
in the Superior Court. He claimed
that an aged man had been found
who remembered having met him,
Larson, in the Sixth street park on
the Sunday afternoon at the time
other witnesses testified that Larson
was with his wife in Glendale. Facts
presented yesterday stamped the
evidence against the barber as the
most unusual that has ever been
presented in any murder case in Los
Angeles. Atty. Frank Domingey is
retained by Norwegian Society to
see that the prisoners rights were
conserved.
During the cross examination Of
the hearing Larson's defense evil
IDENTIFY cropped out. He claims that
he met his wife on the Sunday of her
death, talked with her for some time
and agreed with her to separation.
After leaving his wife, Larson
says that he went to dinner and re-
manned in cafe until l 30 Then
he claims he went to Sixth street
park and remained there until 4 o.
clock. Then Larson says, he in
spected some barber shops and
reached the Pacific Electric depot at
half past five. I met Miss Lula Car
penter there, he said, and we went to
dinner. Then I went with her to
church, and after that I took her
home. l was not out to Glendale
that afternoon. It is all a mistake.
l may hang for it but I am innocent.
[ did not kill my wife; she went to
San Francisco I thought; we could
not get along-and I believe the
truth will come out.
Miss Carpenter stated that Larson
kept company with her, but did not
tell her that he was married. Once
he said he thought enough of me to
make me his wife. He did not make
love to me as it is generally under
stood, but | considered that he loved
me; in fact on the day he is alleged
to have murdered his wife he kissed
me after we had been to church,

MRS. ELIZABETH COONS.

After an illness Of over clever
weeks, Mrs. Elizabeth Coons, SO vel
known to our people as an old resi-
dent Of the community, passed ava,
at her home in the west part of til,
village early last Friday morning
The end Of her long and patient SUI.
fering came at the hour of 500.
The deceased had been possessed
Of wonderful amount of vitality
and enjoyed strong constitution il
spite Of her advanced age, being
past 81 years. She was first strick.
en- with paralysis, from which she
never fully recovered. After a cou.
pie Of days Of Inconsistencies she
rallied and remained conscious the
greater part Of her illness.
Mrs. Elizabeth Coons was born in
Cornwall, Ont, Can, April. /, 1929
She was married to William H
Coons at Osnabrook, Ontario, and
to this union nine children were
born, six Of whom survived their
parents. Mr.. Coons passed away
about Is years ago. The couple had
been residents of Atwater and vic
Unity for over 80 years, removing to
this state from Iroquois, Ont, Can.
and coming to tennessee to live on
the farm with their son, Dave, who
was a resident Of the township at
that time.
The surviving children who will
mourn the death of a devoted mother
are as follows: George Coons, Min
neapolis; Mrs. Hettie Marshall,
Litchfeld; Mrs. John Lipsit, Mrs. H.
W. Jones and Emmeline, all Of At
water. The latter, who is an invalid,
had always made her home with her
mother, who had most tenderly car
ed for her, and the loss of not only
a mother but also such a true and
constant companion will naturally
be heavy blow to her. Another
surviving member Of the family is a
son, Adam, whose residence is thot
to be somewhere in the West.
The funeral took place last Sat-
urday afternoon from the residence,
Rev. 0. NJ. Norlie conducting the
services, which were held at 3 o.
clock. A number of our citizens
were present to pay their last res
poets to the deceased. The casket
was laden with floral tributes from
old friends and neighbors of the
family. The. remains were consign-
ed to their last resting place at the
Atwater Union Cemetery, where the
interment took place in the family
burial lot.
The death Of Mrs. Coons removes
another pioneer resident from amone
our citizens, one who in her owl
humble way always had a word OF
cheer for those whom she met in he1
daily walks.-Atwater Republican

Good I ;Ill DllYlE !! / For
AND n OH: COUNTY
Southern Gentlemen Who Recently
] Visited the Svea Community
Give Publicity

q number OF Minnesota exchanges
have been running the flowing ar
ticle= written BY Clarence Poe Of the
Progressive Farmer, Raleigh, n c.,
who recently visited here as result
Of hearing Mr.. "a O. Nelson at the
Southern Educational meeting:
'Svea, Minnesota, so far as
known, is the finest example Of Co
operative community effort in Am
erica, the finest example known Of
farmers getting together and pull
ing together as one man to build up
the neighborhood not only in every
thing affecting their work and bust
ness, but in everything affecting the
social life, the intellectual and edu-
cational development, and even the
moral standards Of the community.
Svea is an absolutely pure and I'M
adulterated country neighborhood,
ten miles from railroad station,
and there is no village at all except
the postoffce and the office Of the
farmers cooperative enterprises.
Untouched by town influences, there
fore, these Svea farmers are work
ing out their high destiny and show
ing the whole world what farmers
can do, aided only by intelligence,
neighborliness, energy and -stick-to-
itiveness. In Svea they have estab-
lished and operated thus far with
out one single failure: - r..

IL. Neighborhood social meetings
three times month under church
influences.
~. They have "made their neigh
borhood reading neighborhood."
Almost every farmer takes two to
four farm papers and other reading
matter in proportion.
In other words, the Svea farmers
have become "business men" as
surely as commercial men in the
towns, and are doubling their pro-
fits. as a result while they are at the
same time developing a high degree
Of culture and that satisfying social
life, without which mere money is
Yalueless, while also maintaining
moral and spiritual influences which
town life tends to destroy. - /
And the most glorious fact about
it all is that by adapting the bust
ness enterprises to Southern condi-
tons, and following the examples OF
Svea with regard to social, intellec-
tual and moral influences, almost
any Southern neighborhood can win
for itself the increased profits, the
added culture and the rich social life
which the wise farmers Of Svea have
shown us how to win.
