Edward Wesley FOuts.

Passaic and community was rudely
shocked when it became known that
the subject of this sketch had passed
over into the Great Beyond at his
home in Passaic on last Friday even
ing at 6 o'clock. II was a shock to
everyone because it was not thought
until a very short time before his
death that there was any immediate
danger. In Ed Fouts was citizen
that everyone held in the highest re-
spect and esteem, and his life, meas
ured by strict standard Of duty
toward his family and all his fellow
mortals, was an exemplary life. He
will be sorely missed by everyone.
He was about A years old, being
born in Morgan county, Ohio, Feb
ruary LIST, 1870. In the fall Of 1891
he came to Bates county and two
years later was married to Kittie
Shealey. He has since resided in
Bates county. Eight children were
born to the union, seven of whom
with their mother survive him.
He was buried at Mt. Olivet church
yard in the presence of large num-
Der of his friends who were there to
pay their last tribute to his mortal re-
mains. The sermon was preached
by the Rev. Reed of Liberty, from
23rd Psalm, 18th verse. Peace to his
ashes.

Corn Grows High in Boone

Columbia, Mo-, Aug. 10. Farmers
all over Boone county have been 60
ing through their cornfields lately
and picking out the tallest stalks to
bring to Columbia for exhibit. Sew
eral specimens more than Is feet
high have been brought in, usually
with the apology that even taller ones
could have been found if the farmer
had only had time to look for them.
One of the prize small fields of the
county is on tract south of Column
bia owned by the University.
w. L. Nelson, assistant secretary
of the State Board of Agriculture, re-
Gently brought from there stalk
measuring Is feet II inch. Nelson
said this was a rather "sickly" sam
pie, as some of the full-grown stalks
in the same field were considerably
taller.

MObilizing the Missouri Mule

The mobilization of the Missouri
mule has been ordered and is now
under way. This was expected. The
black, bay, brown, gray, iron-gray
and even the celebrated "blue mules
of Missouri are as much part of
any general mobilization as is the
general staff, the chief of that staff,
the commisSary department or the
sanitary division of anybody's army.
Of course, the European situation
has caused an advance in the price of
mules just as it made more valuable
arsenals, dry docks, transports, good
generals and war material. There
fore the mobilization of the Missouri
mule at eastern and southern sea-
ports. He must take his chances of
capture at sea like any other contra
band Of war, having achieved that
distinction because of his activities in
recent conflicts.
A motor truck looks very satisfac-
tory in the moving pictures of mill
tary maneuvers and is marvel of
military efficiency over military high
ways. However, it appears that the
chariot of Mars is not to be propelled
by gasoline. The Missouri mule re-
mains the motor unit par excellence
when that chariot strikes cross coun-
try. He is motor that can gather
the raw muterial of his propelling
power off the country as he goes.
Unworried by lack Of supply depots,
lack of roads and lack of mechani-
clans, he responds to the lash of the
"blacksnake" whip and gets through
somehow where gasoline meekly SUBJ
mits to circumstances.
No wonder the Missouri mule is
and his price has riSen.-

J. H. NOlen Escapes Trial

Jefferson City, NO., Aug. State
Land Reclamation Agent John H. No.
len will not be tried on a charge Of
hunting without license in the Cole
County Circuit Court as the charge
against him was dismissed.
Because of the dismissal Of the
case, the question whether it is law
full for county clerk to issue state
license to resident of another coun-
ty will remain unadjudicated.
Nolen's right to hunt in Cole coun-
ty was questioned and being unable
to produce his license, which he had
left at home, he was accused of hunt
ing without license. Later he pro-
duced state license issued to him in
Henry county.

Costly Lesson

Because he refused to turn to the
right and permit the passage of an
automobile which had overtaken him
and blocked the auto for mile, de-
spite the requests of the driver of
the car to let him by, Roy Harrison,
residing near Fulton, was arrested
and fined, fine and costs amounting to
$29.5Q Harrison seemed to think it
quite a joke to hold the road against
the car, but he knows more about the
rules of the road now, although the
lesson was costly. The provision of
the road law applying in this case fol-
lows:
"When any such person operating
a motor vehicle shall overtaek any
such horse, animal or other vehicle,
shall, as soon as practicable, turn
aside to the right so as to allow free
passage on the left hand side
The penalty for the violation Of this
lawis fine of not less than $25 nor
more than $500 for the first offense,
and for a second violation fine of
not less than $50 nor more than $500,
or Imprisonment in the county Jail
for not less than 60 days. Pleasant

THE MOCKINGB|RD
IS A JOY FOREVER
HIS EARL YMORNING SONG RE-
VEALs TRUE SPIRIT OF
REJOICING.

Minus poIyg -oLtus, the manyton-
gued mimic, the scientists call him,
and to everyone else he is known as
the mockingbird, which both well de-
scribe him in his common everyday
character. But when on moonlight
lights he wakens you with his own
original compositions, pouring forth
his fuH heart with the joy OF living,
you forget his droll mlmicries and lis
ten enraptured to the real artist, one
Of the sweetest of singers. He seems
to say that life and the beautiful
moonlight are far too worth while to
be slept away, and you will awaken
and believe il, and after the concert
sink gently back to pleasant dreams.
Day by day he is an animated piece
OF waggery, Tipping his tilted tai IN
the sauciest way, and making pert re-
marks whenever you venture his way.
lie will sit on the tip of the windmill
tower and initiate the peculiaritles OF
the neighborhood roosters calling one
TO the other. Perchance that morning,
out after the treasures of the dew-time
he has heard a quail calling and he
essays over and over to repeat this dis
unctive ringing call, with very good
success. You may run to the door to
answer the postman's whistle, appar-
emily somewhat ahead of time today,
and find that the call is from the top
of the acacia tree and you have been
April-fooled by bird.
But cheerful comrade of the day as
we find him, it is not in this role that
we reach the fullest appreciation OF
his genius. His cary morning song
of rejoicing at the return of another
dawn, his subdued yet buoyant notes
at twinght, as a sort of thanks for
another day of pleasure granted, and
most of all, the full melody of his
moonlight scnatas, when all the world
is hushed to receive it--these reveal
to us Tie true spirit of our own Amer
,fcan nightingale, the mockingbird.

A LudicrOuS Explanation.

A clergyman, anxious TO introduce
some new hymn books, directed the
clerk to give out notice in church in
regard to them Immediately after the
sermon. The clerk, however, had a no.
tice of his own to give with reference to
the baptism of infants. Accordingly,
at the. close of the sermon, he announc-
ed:
"All those who have children they
wish baptized, please send their names
at once"
The clergyman, who was deaf, sup
posed that the clerk was giving out the
hymn book notice, Immediately arose
and said;
And | want to say for the benefit of

learned to swear, when boy, blowing

Uncle Joe continuing to use bad words

is filthy and disgusting habit and can
do no possible good, except when used

doubtful value. Swearing in ordinary
conversation is reprehensible to the
