Chas. Herring Got 1t

Saturday was a big day here.
1t was a big day because of the
crowd here and also because of
the business done. All of the
merchants had the biggest Sat
urday they had fora long time.
Sales were large and clerks were
kept hustling.
The crowds came, for a chance
at the automobile. They be-
gan arriving early in the morn
ing and remained all day. By
noon the town was pretty we'll
crowded and they kept coming
in strings of wagons from all
parts of the county during the
afternoon hp to the time of
drawing at 4:30 o'clock.
1t was at first planned to hold
the affair in the main business
street, but the crowd got too big
to handle in this way so adjourn
ment was had to the bandstand
where the affair took place.
There was but one drawing that
bringing ticket No. 3482O. This
proved to be the property of
Charles Herring living north of
town who got it of A. F. Ar
rington as one for a big pur-
chase of lumber. All the rest
were disappointed. One gentle
man here had offered $500 for
the machine in case the persons
securing it wanted to sell but
Mr., Herring needed the machine
more than the money so kept it.
Several persons, in their minds,
had the machine sold and the
money spent. The only thing
that kept the dream from coming
true was the fact they had bun
numbers. Everybody seems tc
be recovering.

HIGH SCHOOL DAYS END
Class of Nine Graduated Last
Friday Evening u. S. Hall
the Speaker.

Last Friday night proved a
decided event for nine young
men and women who graduated
at that time from the Keytes-
vile high school at exercises
which were given at the court
house in the circuit court room.
The speaker of the evening
was President U. S. Hall of
Pritchett College at Glasgow.
His address was brief and the
diplomas were awarded and the
exercises finished within an
hour. The speaker presented
the diplomas to the eight young
women and one young man.
The musical exercises includ-
ed a piano solo by Miss 10 Mar
tin, one by Miss Dorothy Way
land and several choruses by the
high school pupils. The music
numbers were good. The
choruses were exceptionally
good. The singers sang with
confidence and we'll in tune
showing painstaking drill and a
familiarity with their songs.
The accompanist was Miss Way
land who performed this rather
difficult duty with excellent eff
feet. The music was thoroughly
enjoyed.
Superintendent Taylor intro
duced the speaker in a few
words and he gave his address.
He impressed on the graduates
the necessity for hard work and
honesty. He said the prime
virtue was honesty. After this
came industry, He lay great
stress on industry. The tact
that the young women so far
outnumbered the young men in
the graduating class caused the
speaker to press strongly on the
women side of the world fight
today. He said that the class
itself indicated why the women
were clamoring for considera-
ton today in the worlds affairs.
He referred once to the question
of votes for women and declar-
ed that while it made little or no
difference to him as to whether
women voted or not, he thought
they ought to if they wanted to.
This brought forth applause
from several of the women pre-
sent.
The presentation of the di-
plomas was a matter of a few
words and at the conclusion Mr..
Hall congratulated each of the
students as did their friends and
they departed from the court
room with their school days, in
the city schools, at an end.

Boone Kellogg Dead

Daniel Boone Kellogg, the
fourth son Of D. B. and Mamie
Kellogg died from injuries re-
ceived by being struck by an
automobile and a fall, in a Kan
sas City hospital Saturday night
at $50. His leg was broken by
a fall from the stairway in the
basement Of his rooming house,
and the second attempt to set
the broken limb produced a
shock, either from the anaesthet-
ic or from the operation from
which he never recovered. He
had completed his work as
checkman for a large bakery
and returned to his room when
the landDady requested him to
fix the fire in the furnace and
he went to the basement for the
purpose. Not coming up as
soon as she expected, she went
to see what had happened and
found him unconscious on the
basement floor. An ambulance
was summoned and he was TAX
en- to the hospital where he was
quickly revived. He said that
when about to the top Of the
stairway which had no railing
his leg which was badly injured
in an auto mishap gave way and
he fell, breaking his leg and be
coming unconscious.
His leg was set temporarily
and he was getting along well
until the administration of the
drug for the purpose Of the sec-
ond operation.
Daniel Boone Kellogg jr. was
born in the city of Keytesville
November IL, 1865 and spent al
most the entire span Of his life
here, clerking for various mer.
camille establishments and con-
Quoting business for himself,
About three years ago he went
to Kansas City and secured EN-
ployment and has resided there
since.
There were few more populal
'lyoung men in this city, his gen
iality and generosity cementine
to him all with whom he associa
ted, and his old companions testi
fled their high esteem by a pro
fusion of choice flowers ant
and their sorrowful attendance
at his obsequies.
He was brot to this city by hi
nephew Dan Kellogg Monday
and inferred in the family lot a

Mitchell. his old and honored
friend, discoursing on his life ir
touching language in the pres
ence of a number of friends o.

MARRIAGE announced
Miss Lois Hancock and Robert
NewsOm Break Silence
of a Year

VI ACah
There were several hundred
surprised people in town Satur-
day. Part Of these were at the
residence Of Mrs. Hancock dur
ing the afternoon from 3 to 5 to
hear the announcement Of the
wedding Of Miss Lois Hancock to
Robert Newsom the announce
ment cards stating that they
were married April 5, 1918. Ad-
ditionaI information points to the
fact that they were married at
Alma, Kansas, a station about
100 miles out of Kansas City
where it was probable that the
news would filter through the
intervening space and reach
Keytesville.
It was suspected by many as
the time for the party drew near
that it was to be the fact but no
one knew it. The guests were
at the home for some time when
refreshments were served and
the announcement cards found.
The hostess then was congratu-
lated and the brides cake cut by
the unmarried ladies' present.
In this event, Miss Elizabeth
White proved the lucky person.
She got the ring. Miss Carrie
Wheeler got the dime and the
rest of them refused to cut
further for the darning needle
which is supposed to predict the
epitome of hard luck for any
woman Of normal makeup.
The home was decorated with
snowballs and the refreshment:
were of angel food cake, straw
berries and ice cream. Aftel
the party, three automobiles
were chartered and the crowc
went to tgwn TO congratulate
Mr.. Newsom. He entered {
machine and took a ride with hi:
bride and the remainder of thu
party. Bob took the whole af
fair as philosophically as a stole
much more so than the guests
who were more surprised thar
either bride or groom.
The event happened wheI
Miss Hancock went to Kansas
City one Friday and was follow
ed later by Mr.. Newsom. Sat
urday they went to Alma ant
returned to Kansas City, tn,
bride coming home on one trair
and Mr.. Newsom arri wing later
No one was the wiser but som'
suspected it and at one time th'
Courier came near to publishing
the marriage as having takel
place but did not do so upon tn,
fact that the bride denied mos
strenuously that the marriag,
had occurred. Mrs. Newson
taught for several years at th'
city schools and her desire t
finish the school year caused he
silence regarding the matter
She had been a good teacher anC
has the good sense, industry ant
other traits that viii insure he
performing her wifely duties a
they should be performed. Tn
groom was member Of the firm
Of Adams & Newsom and is wei
and favorably known here. H

it flashed before him that he had
a family and he returned home.

WRITING effective
ADVERTISEMENTS

The supposed difficulty in writing
skillful advertising, in the case of
some merchants, is bugbear in the
way of publicity work. 1t occasion
ally happens that merchants never
advertise because they feel that they
have too little time, or too little
brains, to write advertising that shall
have selling power.
Yet we'll written advertisement is
not matter OF smart sentences, hum
orous conceits. or literary gifts. 1t
Is simply the art of talking directly
about your goods and their prices,
as a merchant would talk to man
over the counter. Anyone who is
able to conduct store can do. 1t.
The force of these statements was
finely illustrated in an actual expert
ence that came to the ears of the
writer q short time ago. One Of his
friends Is q business man who had
had some success In advertising and
selling proposition Of his own in.
vention. He had no special gifts or
tricks of expression, Yet he succeed.
ed in selling his goods. ""A'
Feeling perhaps that trained ad-
vertisement writer could do still
better, he sought out competent and
highly trained man in that line in the
nearest large city, talked over mis-
proposition, and showed him files Of
his previous publicity work. The
professional writer took the material
and put quite lot of work into pro-
ducing form letter. 1t had all the
ear marks of professional ad writing
work. II was smooth, personal. In
innate and clever.
The work was accepted and sent
out to the mailing list. The promoter
OF the proposition liked the letter so
much that he expected double re-
turns. But to his surprise, the re-
turns were only about a third as large
as those he had previously secured

counter. The incident teaches ITS
own lesson TO all who are seeking
