Gold Strike In Australia
Discovery of Yellow Metal There SO
Years Ago Resulted in Build

-RY Rev. ThOs. B. .srerorr

r was Sc years ago today that the
yellow metal was found in the far
4 away island continent. Edward
Hargreaves, while hunting for gold in
California, was struck with the strong
similarity between the rocks and strata
of that region and that of his own
district in Australia, and upon return
ing home he dug and found gold in
unprecedented quantities
Of course. the matter could not be
kept quiet and instantly the excite
ment ran high throughout New South
Wales and spread rapidly to Victoria
and the other parts of the island On
all sides men began searching like
mad" for the yellow treasure. One OF
the aborigines, while following his
sheep, picked up solid nugget worth
hundreds Of dollars. Three small
blocks of quartz We're found which
contained ~ pounds of pure gold,
worth $50, 900. A magnificent piece of
virgin metal was found elsewhere

A Most Prominent
Physician Dead

DR.. Adolphus G. Wood, one of the
most prominent physicians, as well
as useful citizens of Shelby County,
died at his home in Lentner Sunday
morning, September 6, 1914, at 1890
o'clock after brief illness.
DR.. Wood was born in Santiago,
Island Of Cuba, March is, 1881, dur
ing the temporary stay of his parents
in that country. In the fall of 1884
the family returned to this country
and located in Hannibal, Mo-, and the
following spring came to Shelby
County where DR.. Wood has contin-
ued to Be>a resident and an honored
citizen ever since.
On January 20, 1868, he was mar
ried to Miss MaryN. Mitchell, a
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Mitchell, Of Shelbyville. no this
union twelve children were born,
nine Of whom are living. They are:
Ferdnando, of Houston, Texas; Mrs.
Maudell Reinheimer, Mrs. Zelma
Smith, Miss Bunton, of Butler, Mo-;
Misses Clunette and Gertrude and
DR.. A. M. Wood, of Lentner; Lamar,
Of Monroe City, and Mrs. Irene Smith
of this city, all of whom, with the
faithful wife, mourn his death, and
all were with him when death came
except Ferdnando.
DR.. Wood never wholly abandoned
his profession, but gave up active
practice to accept the presidency of
the Lentner Bank, which high and
responsible position he has held con-
tinuously since its organization many
years ago.
During all the years of his resi-
dence in Shelby County, Dr.. Wood
was man who was held in tine high
est esteem by his friends who could
be counted almost in endless num-
bers. BY his faithful and tender ad-
ministrations to the sick and needy he
had endeared himself in the hearts of
a multitude OF people, who will, as
long as life lasts, hold his name up to
the rising generation as model which
it would be we'll for US all to follow.
Funeral services were held at the
Lentner Christian church Tuesday
morning at 10 o'clock conducted by
Rev. Baxter Waters, of Lathrop, Mo.
The remains were laid to rest in the
|. O. o. F. Cemetery in this city,
Shelbina Torchlight.

WILSON VETOES POSTAL BT[[
Objects to Section Repeating
Bank Law Clause.

Washington. Sept. 12-President vii
son has vetoed the bill to raise the
limit of individual deposits in posta
savings banks to $1,000 because it con
tanned provision repeating section
OF the new bank law which provides
that federal funds must be deposited
only with members of the federal re-
serve system.
TIE President suggested that the
bill be amended to extend for another
banks not members of the new system
have within which to surrender the
government deposits they now hold.
The Presidents message said, in
part:
With the most of the provisions of
the bill | am in hearty accord. They
are admirably conceived and the
changes of law which they propose
would undoubtedly be very beneficial
to the postal saving system, but a por-
ton of Section II. seeks to make
change in the federal reserve act of
last December, which venture to re.
gard as unwise.
When the federal reserve act was
passed it was thought wise to make
the inducements to state banks to en-
ter the federal reserve system as many
and as strong as possible. 1t was,
provided in the act that gov
eminent funds should be deposited
only in banks which were members Of
the federal reserve system. The prin-
{ iple of such provision is sound and
The moneys under the
control of the government ought to be
placed only in those banks which are
most directly under the supervision
and regulation of the congress itself.

Missouri School Day

Public schools of the state will hav
big feature day at the Missouri Stat
Fair on Monday, September %
Special entertainment and educationa
features will be provided to anus,
and instruct the thousands of schoo
children who visit the Fair at thai
time.
Throughout the central part of the
state it is the intent to have the
schools dismiss for holiday and visit
the Fair on that day. Although this
announcement has just been made ii
has already aroused great interest in
educational circles. School boards
and teachers feel very enthusiastic
over the opportunity thus afforded of
a days visit to Missouri's wonderful
display, which among hundreds of
other attractions has an educational
display that is of rare merit.
All children under twelve years old
will be admitted to the Fair Grounds
free on that day, and many of the
schools will attend the Fair in body.
AS special incentive to create
more general interest in Estate Fair
School Day" beautiful Missouri
State Flag, adopted at the last gener-
al assembly, will be presented the
school having the largest attendance.
In awarding this prize, the distance
and size of the school will be consid-
cred in figuring the percentage.
Prof. w. P. Evans, state .superin-
tendent of schools, will be chairman
Of the special committee to determine
what school is entitled to the flag.
The flag bears the coat of arms of
imperial Missouri and will instill in
creased state pride in whatever school
s successful in securing it. 1t is we'll
worth a special effort to obtain.

Sow Wheat Late and Escape
the Fly.
BY Leonard Haseniafi.

By Leonard Haserhan.
With the arrival of the recent
rains, preparations are being made,
in some sections of the state, for
wheat sowing and there is the
danger that some will SOW too ear
ly. With the enormous Hessian
ny injury still fresh in mind and
the great danger that this will be
repeated ON the next crop of wheat
farmers can we'll afford to take
every possible precautiony to pre-
vent it. The following lsugges.
tions are offered by the Missouri
Agricultural College as partial
solution of the problem.
The majority of the Hessian flies
are still in the resting or hax-seed
stage in the wheat stubble which
has not been destroyed by blowing
under or burning. From this
stubble the winged fly will soon
come out to deposit eggs on vol
unteer or early sown wheat. Where
the stubble has all been plowed
under and the ground thoroughly
worked over in an entire commun-
ity. there should be less danger
from the fly but the wheat should
be sown late even where such
measures have been taken. Where
the stubble has not yet been de-
stroyed it should be plowed under
at once and the ground worked.
Keep down all wheat plants until
it is time for the regular crop to
come on. In the northern part OF
the state wheat sown about the
ifst of October will escape most
Of the fly injury in the fall and in
,he southern part wheat sown
about the middle of October is
Usually free from fail injury of fly.
IN sections where the fly was pres
mt this year, farmers will do we'll
0 delay the sowing of wheat un---
il late, meanwhile continuing Gull
ivation 50 as to make the hest
seed bed
