Lax Censorship

The Journal of the American
Medical Association says that
Missouri is one of 18 states in
which the board have not the
power or are not using it if they
have it, to refuse to issue IL
censes to graduates of low-grade
medical students. The journal
says that this will result in these
eighteen states getting more
than than their share of i'm
properly educated practitioners
of the medical profession. The
Journal says that students also
should be careful to inform them
selves Of the standing Of medical
school before they spend any
money or time for studies
therein.

Burned BY Electricity

Wallace Agee of Grinnell,
Iowa came here Saturday of last
week all shot to pieces with
electricity. He was at work
about three weeks ago on the
telephone line at Grinnell when
he grabbed a wire that was
crossed with an electric light
wire carrying over 1000 volts of
current. He stuck another wire
with his chin and the current
played from his hand through
his chin and then varied the
program q little by squirting out
of his back and legs. The re-
suit is that he is a man of many
burns. His chin is badly scorch-
ed and his hand likewise is
burned badly. 1t will require
some time for him to get in
shape for work again. AS it
was, voltage was pretty heavy
for a mans system to endure
and he is fortunate in getting
out with his life.

DEDICATION SERVICES
The New German Methodist
Church on Bowling Green \
Dedicated Saturday

Perhaps no occasion has attrac-
ted greater local interest than
the dedication of the new Ger
man Methodist Church on the
Bowling Green south of Dalton.
Preparation for the. big event
had been under way for weeks,
and the assistance of some of the
Churches most distinguished pull,
pit orators had been secured, so
when the services opened Satur-
day ever detail had been provided
for. The dedicatory was deliy-
cred by Rev. D. w. Smith, Pre-
siding Elder of Kansas City,
Saturday evening and the corner
stone ceremoniosly laid in the
presence of a great throng of
churchmen and women and nom
professors.
Sunday morning services were
well attended and by far the
greater part of the congregation
remained for the big dinner pre-
pared by the faithful, sumptuou-
sly served in the basement of the
edlfce. The sermon of Bishop
Shepperd of Kansas City in the
evening was the crowning event
of the occasion, and that heis an
able preacher, great orator and
masterful debater is admitted by
all who heard him without ques-
tion. A big supper was served
in the basement Of the church
prior to the evening sermon, and
there were many who came
Saturday morning and stayed
until the meeting closed Sunday
night and felt more than repaid.
The church has a membership
of nearly 100 and of that kind d
adherents who can be dependeC
on to work in peace and har
mony; the results are a thriving
congregation, consistent living
and Christian fortitude. All glory
to those who labored so long anC
hard to make the dedication o.
their church and all the features
connected with the occasion ;
complete success.

The Whiskered Wheat

Why does some wheat have a
larger beard than others? This
was the question that agitated a
couple of town young mer the
other morning en- route to Bruins
wick. The affair broke into a
general discussion. One man
said it was the older wheat that
had the most beard, the wheat
boarding, as of course, with the
increase of age. The other man
said that sounded reasonable to
him and the discussion ended
there.

IngersolI's Death

Someone writes the K. C..
Star and asks for the record of
the manner in which Robert j.
Ingersoll, the famous skeptic,
died. The Star prints the facts
which will discredit the story
that many have been taught to
tell concerning the orator. The
Stars story is:
Robert G. Ingersoll died sud-
denly and without knowledge of
the seriousness of his condition
from an attack of heart disease.
His last words to his wife, when
she asked him how he felt, were
"Ohl better. /" No groan or sigh
of pain crossed his lips, but he
died as he once expressed the
wish, .'painlessly and without
warning" There is no record
that he ever changed his
religious views and the very
manner of his death gave no op-
portunity to him or his friends
to ask for the ministrations of a
clergyman had he desired them. .

Played Two Games

Keytesville went to Higbee
Saturday and Sunday and played
two ball games. They won the
first game Saturday the score
being Z to 6. They were less
fortunate Sunday and dropped
this game 8 to 2. The battery Sat-
uYday was Collins and Clingen-
peel. The star of the game was
Bitz who played all over the
field, The Sunday game was
handled by Pow Agee Hurt and
j. lee Thrash in the box and
Wa behind the bat Up to
sixt mining the score was 2 to l.
Hurt pitched a fine game, his
first. up to the sixth, when he
weakened. Then Thrash went
into the box for the locals. The
lineup for Keytesville was;
catcher, Wayland, pitcher, Hurt
and Thrash; first base Crow;
second base, B. Thrash; third
base, Overall; shortstop, Cole
man; left field, ]. Blitz; center
field, Cash; right field, V. Thrash.
The locals had a game here
Thursday with Mendon and play
Fayette Sunday, at the home
grounds.

Stretched a Mile

"M-m-m-m, l could stretch a
mile", warbled C. Orbrey Stern
or one day last week as he set
tied himself in a comfortable
barber's chair in the Rucker &
Coy shop. Whereupon he ex-
tended himself and thrust his
body upward resting with his
head on the headrest as he pro-
ceeded to stretch. He stretched
half a mile then Orbrey settled
to, a normal basis. The head
rest of hard wood and steel was
fractured in two places. 1t was
necessary to send the piece
away and have it replaced. AS
barber's chairs are expensive in
whole or in part, it is probable
that Sterner will not stretch
more than hundred yards here
after in any barber's chair in
which he may ahght.

The Ethics

Ihe question of fee-splitting
among doctors and surgeons is
now and has been for some time
engaging the attention of the
medical profession. The state
organization of physicians at
attheir recent meeting in Kansas
refused to adopt a resolution
condemning this iniquitous
practice. Other organizations
of physicians have condemned it
andlat the same time it is pretty
well admitted and known that
the practice is general. If a
patient has anything for which
a surgical operation can be per-
formed, a physician may take
the patient to a city surgeon and
have the operation performed
and then split the fee with the
surgeon. This gives the sur
geon his fee and probably enough
over charge is made to pay the
physician we'll for his trouble in
steering" the patient. These
are regarded by many physicians
as regular forms of practice and
the patient who feels that his in
terests are being safe-guarded is
the goat" Not all physicians
do this but the practice is SO
general that the men in the
medical profession who have the
highest ideals, condemn it un-
sparingly.

A Dry Navy?

July l, our Navy will be dry
unless President Wilson annuls
the order of Secretary Daniels.
How different the position of the
man who sits in an Office and
gives orders to that of the man
who must brave shot and shell
and storms to obey those orders.
Somehow we fancy the President
will ignore the fad of those who
won't fight and endorse the de-
sires of those who will.

Prepared Own Petition

A bright looking man appeared
at the Courier Office Monday
morning and without saying any
thing wrote a request that he be
permitted to use the reporters
typewriter for a few minutes
when an opportunity presented
itself. He wrote a petition stat
ing that the man, the writer had
been i'll and undergone several
operations and that he had been
a stenographer before his trouble
which brought deafness and
dumbness. He stated further
that he must have another
operation and that any money
given him would be used for
that purpose. The man seemed
to be mentally alert and in superb
physical health. He had no
form of soliciting petition with
him but made it out here. 1t
looked little queer, an able
bodied. vigorous man, bright of
eye and with every appearance
Of health, making the rounds
with this kind of a petition.

State Fox Hunt

The Central Fox and Wolf
Hunt Association is on the trail
of reynard and wolf down in
Morgan County. Hunters from
"a number of counties have
gathered at Merchants Springs
and the week will be put in ex-
terminating fox and wolf which
have increased in numbers to an
alarming extent in that section
of the state. Many near by dis
tricts are organizing to head the
stray varmints off from getting
settled among them, and it
would appear that practically all
that section of the state is active
on account of the hunt. There
is a derby and all age race
among the events, and the head
quarters of the association will
have plenty to entertain those
who do not wish to pursue the
willy gone further than a days
run. 1t is said the music of the
hounds can be heard for miles
beyond the borders of other
counties when the whole num-
ber of packs are strung out.
