DESTROYER IN TRUNK
BURNS MRS, CRABB
Sulphur and Chemicals Burst
Into Flame When Recepta-
Gle Becomes Heated-WO-
mans Injuries Not Serious.

A combustion of gas from the mix
ing of chemicals to destroy moths
badly burned Mrs. Earl Crabb, 9O2
North Tenth street, in the most un-
usual explosion known here.
Mrs. Crabb is painfully burned
about the face, arms and hands. The
burns are not serious, and she will
recover within a short time. her ply
sician said.
The explosion occurred in a new
trunk. The trunk was brought into
the kitchen Thursday when Mrs. Crobb
sprinkled sulphur in the bottom and
around the side to kill moths. Friday
night some patent moth destroyer in
liquid form was sprinkled in the trunk,
which was closed Saturday when the
room was at high temperature from
baking. She threw back the trunk lid
The explosion followed, filling the
room with smoke. Although the com.
bustion took place in an instant, Mrs
Crabb's face and hands suffered the
burns. Singularly. the trunk was not
damaged.

END OF SLAUGHTER
PLEA BY PASTORS
IN PEACE PRAYERS
Richmond Church Members
at Presidents Request Join
Nation in Asking Terminal
ton of EurOpe's War.

Reverently and with abiding faith
that the Almighty God would answer
the prayers of hundred million souls,
and send the men who are slaughter
ing their fellowmenon European bat
tlefields back to their families, Rich
mond joined yesterday in observing
President Wilson's day set aside for
supplication of divine aid in ending the
European war. Not a church in the
city failed to ask for worldwide peace
in prayer, son and sermon. Where
no special exercises had been arrang
ed, the pastor pleaded for an end OF
the wholesale manslaughter in prayer
at each service. Sunday schools and
young peoples societies touched upon
peace in opening prayers.
The American flag decorating the
pulpits and the patriotic music filled
hearts with thanksgiving and love for
the United States, endeavoring to
maintain neutrality and help in bring
ing about cessation of hostilities
President Wilson's stand for peace
and righteousness brough praice from
the ministers.

CONSUMERS
MAY ERECT PLANTS

If the power rates are not made
more equal between the large and
small consumers of electric power,
every large consumer may put up his
own power plant. This was the de-
cision of a committee of power con-
sumers in the rooms of the Commerce
ial club today to consider means of
getting a uniform power rate from the
municipal power plant.
Officials of the Dille-McGuire plant,
and the F. & N. Lawnmower company
stated they were prepared to make
this move if a re-adjustment of rates
was not made.
A motion was passed asking the
press to advise users of light, heat
and power to send criticisms and sug-
gestions relative to present rates to
the committee in care of the Com
mercial club.

Results of Saturday Canvass
Pleases Women as Sum
Nears 1000 Goal Set Each
Year.
Interest of Children Perpetu-
ates Idea of Giving Toward
Upkeep of Reid Memorial
Institution.

Tag day results Saturday exceeded
those of last year by more than $50,
the count of funds today showing that
$3.50 was collected from the sale OF
Reid Memorial hospital tags.
More than five thousand tags were
worn Saturday. The tags were dona-
ted and the only expense of the cam
paign was for boxes and small Incl
dentals.
The count of the money required
several hours for the committee. The
money was received almost entirely in
pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters
although some of the tags were paid
for with bills.
The women were pleased with the
showing as they are gradually ap-
preaching the $1,000 mark. The fact
that many children are buying tags
with their pennies is gratifying to the
committee, the members say, as it in
sures the perpetuation of the idea.
The work was carried on under the
direction of Mrs. George Eggemeier,
chairman of the executive committee.
Mrs. Eugene Price, treasurer of the
Ladies' Aid society of the hospital, has
charge of the finances.
The exact amount of receipts was
$876.S7. Expenditures for the day
were $5.35, which made a net donation
of $371.52.

1t has also come to the attention of
the bureau that articles Of clothing

well-intentioned persons who are ac-

good judgment. Such persons are not
aware of the fact that they are breed

increasing burden upon the commun-

principle that it is just as wrong to
encourage pauperism as it is to aid
and abet crime. In both instances the
general citizenship must pay the bills.
The citizens Of Richmond therefore
are requested that If they have any

opinion the big majority of the men,
bers of the South Side Improvement
association we're opposed to the sub
sidy plan.
Mr.. Kennepohl called attention to
the fact that If such a subsidy was
authorized the already excessive town.
ship tax rate would be considerably in
creased. and he said he thought it
would be an exceedingly poor business
move on the part Of the taxpayers
If they paid the entire cost of the
construction of the road and in re-
turn receive only indirect benefits.
Rothert's Experience.
The experience of Henry Rothert, a
member of the South Side Improve
Purtelle has had the effect of changing
many south end people from advocates
to opponents of the Purtfelle project.
Late Saturday afternoon Rothert
filed a complaint i'll the circuit court
to cancel a prommisory note and far
the issuance an Injunction against the
Richmond and Hamilton Traction COM
pany. In his complaint Rothert as
serted that it had been fraudulently
represented to him that his note, offer
would be held and no attempt made
to realize on it until after the subsidy
election in this township. He asked
that the company be restrained from
selling, assigning or transferring his
note for $25 which it holds.
PurteIIe Laughs.
At a local hotel Saturday night,
Purtelle and his paid agent, John S.
4Io
which have been preferred against
Purtelle the last few days, and he
stated that there was no question but
that the subsidy would be voted, as
''the people were enthusiastically in
favor of it."
Fitzgibbons expressed the opinion
that Rothert's action in bringing suit
to recover the note he had given Pur-
tell was much ado about nothing.
"Why, if Rothert wants his note he
can have it any time," said Fitzgib-
bons. well give it to him, won't we
Purtelle?" Purtelle, however, made no
reply to this query. About this time
the discussion was interrupted by the
arrival of Deputy Sheriff Mote, who
served notice of the Rothert suit on
Purtelle.
Before leaving Purtell said that his
action Of issuing two notes on local
national bank, as president of the Tip
ton and Frankfort Traction company,
was a careless oversight on his part.
He meant to make the checks out on
the First National bank of Upton, but
neglected to cross out the word "Rich-
mond" and write in the word "Tipton." "
Purtelle has never had an account
with the local bank on which he is-
sued his two checks.

Secretary Melpolder of the Central
Bureau for Charity and Social Service,
has since October 1, investigated ten
cases and has learned to his surprise
that in some of these promiscuous beg
ging was resorted to, with the ad-
mission by one of the beggars that
during three days of operation she had
collected no less than $12.
The bureau has been established for
the purpose Of putting stop to, the
necessity for begging in any form, and
it is a waste Of money and effort there
fore when the citizens OF Richmond
fail to use the bureau in all such cases
for investigation, for assistance of the
needy and for the prosecution Of i'm
posters.
In two cases the bureau had the in
teresting experience Of being asked by
well-meaning citizens to Investigate
persons after they had given them
assistance. The bureau asks that cit
izens do not give first, and request
investigation afterwards; but to rem
der first aid to the needy only by
notifying thA bureau which Is open
daily except Sundays from 8 T. m.

official statement issued here at 8
O'Clock this afternoon. The statement
declares, however that the battle so
far has been undecisive.
The statement caused considerable
hurprise in view of unofficial reports
that had reached the city earlier in
tho day of continued successes by the
allies in their conflict with the Ger
mans. The full statement was as fol
lows:
"On our left wing, north of the Disc,
the battle continues very violently
ITS result rests undecided. We have
been compelled at certain points to
give ground. On the rest of the front
there is no change.

The allies are striking hard at three
separate points on the German right
wing. Near scissors, where the al
lies got their first firm foothold, on
the north side of the Aisne river, the
French and British are making vigor-
GUS efforts to drive home a wedge be-
tween the German right and the Ger
man center.

Feeding Hoy on the Farm.

The greatest advantage in a
forage state is not to be found in
the hay market, but in feeding
the product on the farm giving
you your market in hoofs and
your lands the advantage of the
fertilizing incident to grazing and
barn clearing. At the present
time our enormous hay crop is be-
yond the feeding demands of our
farm stock, but this is not likely
to be the case long, for the farm
ers are generally saving their
heiter calves and buying the ten
ants supplies that was formerly
sold to the exporting drovers. AS
we have said before, we prefer that
our alfalfa producers shall not get
more than three cuttings a year in
shape and color to meet export de-
mands. The other cuttings make
good, nourishing stock feed and
will compel the farmers through
economy to increase their herds
and hocks. The temptation of
from ST. to $25 per ton is a hard
one for the alfalfa farmer to resist.
If his hay was all exportable, and
the demand was backed by 800
per ton without strict inspection,
many would sell both cattle and
hay and begin all over.-Aber-
deem Examiner.

In University of Mississippi.

1t will be interesting to many resi-
dents Of Noxubee county and to the
readers of the Beacon to know what an
important part Noxubee boys are
taking in the affairs of the State Uni
versity. Probably no county in the
state was represented in as many &C.
tivities of student life during the past
year as Noxubee. Our boys took some
part in everything, and in many cases
they were the leaders.
Clinton Dorroh was president of the
Athletic Board of Control and played
center on the foot ball team. John
Dinsmore was president of the Glee
Club, cheer leader. social editor Of the
Mississippi, the university weekly pa
per and is business manager for the
coming year; Albert Dent was on both
the foot ball and base ball teams; R. l..
Oliver and Charlie Murphey were mem
bers of the tennis club, and Leonard
Martin belonged to both the tennis club
and glee club, Mrs. Bessie Price Will
liams was one of the most popular
co-eds rnd Charlie Murphy won the
Taylor medal in sophomore mathemat-
les.
Noxubee also had three graduates
this year, and each one in a different
department. John Dinsmore in acade-
mic. Clinton Dorroh in law and Albert
Dent in pharmacy.
This is a record of which every one
interested in the welfare of Noxubee
should be proud. There is just one
thing lacking-we haven't as many
boys at the university as we should
have, and we would like to see the
number increase in the next year or
two. A STUDENT.
