Bugs, Flies, Worms Busy

According to some of the far
mers, with the prospect for an
unparalleled wheat crop thirty
days ago, the present time seems
to have a rather doleful outlook.
Report from the Charlton Forks,
Bowling Green bottoms and
north of town indicate that along
with the succulent wheat stalks
there have thrived a multitude
of pests that makes the farmers
hearts grow cool. One district
reports that the green worm is
busy and is not only getting the
wheat but some of the clover.
Other districts report that the
familiar chinch bug is hard at
work and that the fields are be-
ginning sere and yellow and
some of them are being plough
ed under as the result of their
ravages. Other districts report
the ravages of those defendants
of the Duke of Hesse, the in
famous Hessian Fly. In some
parts of the country there are
yet to be found good stands of
wheat and it is probable that,
averaging the crop over the
county at the end of the season,
things win be considerably bet
ter than is now thought. If
If the wheat turns out badly,
then the corn may even up.
Things are never 90 bad as they
might be, after all is summed up
at the end of the season and
these pre-crop reports are always
to be heard every spring.

.KEYTESVILLE DEFEATED.
Salisbury Romps over the Local
Athletes on Home
Grounds

Going to Salisbury without a
pitcher put our boys in bad Sun
day by a score of IL to 2 when
the ancient enemies, Salisbury
and Keytesville met in a contest
for baseball honor at Salisbury.
The crowd at the game was the
same size as was here Thursday
of last week, bringing the same
money to the gate. The local
boys made the trip in automo-
biles and everything went fine
until the seventh inning when
Keytesville blew up and the
remains were fearfully distri-
buted. ]. L. Thrash pitched
the first inning but his arm was
bad on account of the game the
previous Thursday and he re-
tired to be succeeded by Joe
Blitz who pitched up to the
seventh when he fell down be-
cause of weakness. Then there
were a succession of horrors.
When Bitz fell down Coleman
went on the mound and threw
three balls. rhe first was a
three e-bagger and the other two
were home runs. He retired
and Bud Thrash came on. They
hit 'eln for a while longer and
the curtain went down on the
ninth with the score IL to 2. Up
to the seventh it had been 2 to 2
and had been as good game as a
fellow would care to see. Lack
of pitchers hurt the game from
the sixth on. Clarkson and
Lewis worked for Salisbury as
battery. The local boys say
they are going to even up here
May 81, when Salisbury comes
to play another game.

Raus Nit the Cans

Marshal Tisdale was around
helping in the cleanup program
inaugurated by the city. 1t
commenced Wednesday. An eff
fort was made and considerable
success met with the cleaning
up arrangement and considerable
trash was hauled out of both the
business and residence districts.
The marshal said it would re-
qhire the service of a team for a
week or two to get the trash
hauled out. If you want re-
lef, bunch your cans, etc. near a
street or alley and let the city
marshall know about it.. You
wfkget rid Of a bunch Of trash
and the town will be a better
and cleaner place. Keytesville
is a pretty good little place and
why not clean up?

Rad Train Service

The Katy IS next 10 a deau
one. Mail once a day only to
such cities as Moberly, Fayette,
Paris ard numbers Of lesser pro-
gressive towns is a deal next to
the one we get in mail service.
There is but one passenger
train each way a day on the
Katy between Hannibal and Sc
dalia, and there is little certainty
about these, it seems, so far as
getting anywhere on time by
them is concerned. We under
stand that the two trains pulled
off some time ago will be restor-
ed soon, and that will be a great
help to the travelling public.
Sunday was a day full of mishaps
to the service on that road, a
wreck near Pleasant Green fore
ing the passenger, trains around
by jefferson City and over the
Missouri Pacific to Sedalia.
Moberly will undoubtedly not
stand for prevailing conditions
in the Katy service much longer
for with her progressiveness and
volume Of business she cannot
afford to be so handicapped.
The new fair ground at Mober-
ly is fine, the race track a per-
feet half mile of excellent work.
1t is hard to believe that a better
and faster track of that length
could be constructed, and the
grand stand is commodious,
substantial and comfortable.
The idea of a so called railroad
running by such an enterprise
as this and the big brick works
adjacent and not getting a touch
of the progressive fever calls for
a pauper coffin and sexton of
potters field.

Off to Switzerland

Chris Feitz and wife of the
Brunswick. .lriplett neighborhood
left Tuesday for their old home
in Switzerland for a stay of
several months. They have
earned the vacation and will un-
doubtedly enjoy it to the fullest
besides give much pleasure to
their old home associates.
They will perhaps not return
before September or October and
the chances are that they will
not have their visit out by that
time, for it will take a long time
for Chris to see all the changes
since he left there and to tell
the William Tell descendants all
about this wonderful country,
especially Charlton County and
the road question.
The good farmer and his wife
will leave New York about the
10th. on the steamer Finland of
the Red Star Line, and in about
two weeks will be shaking hands
with friends among the Alps
and over a chunk of the best
home made cheese and a stein of
helm brau they will swap yarns
to their hearts content.

After Hymnals

AT the M. E. church confer
ence at Oklahoma City a rather
general assault has been made
on the average church hymnal.
Many ale the criticisms. The
critics say there are too many
songs without the right sort of
world inspiration while others
maintain that the music is not of
the inspirational sort in many Of
the hymns. Songs of the kind
that favor with the critics are
such songs as Nearer, Still

ORDER A CITY CLEANUP.
Council Set Date May 13-To
Build Airdome Knock
Approaches

The regular monthly meeting
of the city council was held the
first of the month and the usual
budget of business was transact
ed. In addition, they set We'd
nesday, May 13 as the date for
the annual spring cleanup anc
offered to send a teamster to
haul away the refuse such as
tin cans, etc., which are usually
to be found in back yards at the
end of,the winter season.
C. L. Herring applied for a re-
issuance of his license for a pool
hall and the same was ordered
reissued.
1t appears that the city is to
have an "Airdome" this year
as of yore. S. M. White asked
the city council for the right to
build an airdome but there was
some halt in the proceedings on
account Of the location, east Of
the present theatre, being in the
fire limits and the probable use
of considerable inhammable
materials in the construction.
The council finally issued a per-
NIT for building the same if
white first submitted the plans
to the council for their approval
which will be done.
Bills against the city were al
lowed and Aldermen Lamkin
and Hill were authorized to look
up the matter Of automobile IL
censes for hauling passengers
In and from the city.
There has been some trouble
about the kind of approaches
built from time to time over the
bitches in the streets in order
that wagons might be taken
over sidewalks into various
yards. These proved somewhat
troublesome in the matter of
road grading, etc. and the
council ordered that the city at
torney draught an ordinance
making it illegal to build any
more of these without first get
ting permission of the council.
C. A. Chapman will be noti-
fed by the clerk of the city
about the condition of the side
walk in front of the Chapman
lot at the rear of the Thrash
store, occupied by Will Adams.

WallOped Again

The Salisbury high school
came over Wednesday and did it
to US right. So far as the
score can be computed, it was
a succession of home runs. Dick
Thrash was in box for the locals
in the first two innings and the
visitors scored nine runs. Then,
Orville Coy went into the box
and in the last z innings II runs
were amassed. The last two
innings are said to have been
good ball. Ray Lewis played
the star game.

The Chinch Bug

The chinch bug is reported to
be getting in his work in some
parts of the county especially
north of this city. 1t is not un-
usual to find reports of this kind
and it seems there is considerable
truth in this report, at some
spots. 1t may be however that
the pest will not become wide
spread and if it does not, it will
require almost a miracle to head
off a magnificent wheat crop.

Rucker ExcaYates Reports

Some years since, there was
an election in st. Louis at which
Michael Gill was elected over his
republican opponent, one Dyer,
perhaps relation to Pat. The
election was contested, and the
issue submitted to a committee
of Congress, Called Committee
No. 8, of which Congressman
Goldfogle of New York was
made chairman.
The committee settled the
question as to which of the con-
testants should be seated long
ago, but the chairman kept the
report of the committee in his
pocket, and the House never got
chance to act on it until about
the 7th. of this month, and that
only after Congressman Rucker
of Missouri, Charlton County,
Keytesville had transgressed
the rules of the house and got
after Goldfogle in his character
istic good natured style. Of
course, Judge Rucker was taken
to task by the chairman of No.
3, who explained that on account
of the voluminous record in the
case, all of which had been
passed on several years ago by
his committee in it's several
parts and as a whole, that it
was well to allow plenty of time
for the ink to dry and the SUBJ
ject to mature like a brick
cheese.
The report was handed to the
clerk of the House the next day
after Judge Rucker got in his
good nature inquiry of the
gentleman from New York, and
the question which should have
been settled a long time ago will
be promptly disposed of, and
while Judge Rucker had to in
ject his inquiry into a debate on
another and entirely different
matter, and frame it in such
agreeable language that the
Committee of the whole House
would not rise as one man and
squelch him for being out of
order very irregularly, it had
the effect of resurrecting a pro-
ceeding buried deep down in the
pocket of the chairman of the
committee. Depend on our Con-
gresham to see to it that import
ant matters affecting the rights
of citizens of this state do not.
