Somebody said, 1T isn't necessary to
break New Year resolutions, but Just
bend them a trifie, brother, Just benz
them a triae." Believe me, both Capt
Ferry. of the Genoas, and Capt. Nc
Carly, of the Pintas. had their resolu-
tons badly bent on Monday night when
their respective teams lost all three
games.
1t may be said that each captain has
resolved to win every game his team
Providing these resolutions are not
broken the games to be played will be
crackerjacks. Here's hoping the resolu-
tions win hold. .sr

For The Orphans

According to the documents,
Simeon Benjamin, Patriarch Of
Asia, has an agent going the
round collecting the money tc
support orphans somewhere. A
pock-marked foreigner was car
rying the credentials and had
the persuasive humble ways Of
the Occidentals to back his
cause. The document he pre-
sented says that the Kurds
were responsible for the decima-
ton Of the adult ranks of the
race to which the agent belong
ed and that the agent was au-
thorized to come into the land of
promise and pick up the stray
shekels. Quite a few here and
elsewhere resonded.

Features Judge Diyelbiss.

The Sunday Kansas City Star
had a feature story on Judge
Divelbiss who called a $4,000,
600" grand jury. The Star gives
an account Of the manner in
which the court promised before
election to do some things that
he did do after he was elected
andone Of the things be made
good on was the matter Of com
spelling men to pay taxes that
were due. He caused many
thousands of dollars to be sched-
uled on the tax books in Carroll
county alone as he did also in
Ray county. His action has set
a gait for other courts and at the
next term of our circuit court a
special grand jury has been i'm
pannelled to look after this mat
ter in Charlton county.

Escaped the Home.

Two girls, one aged IA and the
other II, escaped from the in
dustrial home at Chillieothe
Sunday night after removing the
bars from the window of their
room. In their sooms were found
some charcoal and their uniforms
and it is thought they blackened
their faces and left in civilians,
clothing until they got outside
the city limits and then washed
the black from their faces. A
description Of the girls was sent
to adjoining towns but it was
thought their capture will be
rather difficult.

ENJOYABLE evening. Punch was
served and refreshments o f
pimento and nut sandwiches, ice

amusing and instructive. Many

Miss Bennett Entertains

Thirty-four guests were
present at the home of Miss
Lizzie Bennett Saturday night at
the party given on the lawn.
The yard was lighted with
Japanese lanterns and the party
given in the open air made it
more enjoyable than usual. There
was a sewing contest, the young
women making shirt-waists and
the boys making skirts. Miss
Neal of Moberly proved the best
seamstress among the women
and Ebert Anderson did the
best work on the skirts. Miss
Mary Hubbard was the Gypsy"
and told the fortune of those
present. Partners for refresh
ments were chosen by matching
the names of nations with songs
Of that country, one person given
3 card with the name of a
country and then selecting the
song that went with it. Cherry

Good Corn Crop Seems
Assured

The rain did the cornin the
field plenty Of good and ipei'
dentally helped direct, one farm:
er who in a barber shop Monday
expatiated on the benefits Of tile
downpour. He said that he had
a bunch Of hogs on feed and had
hardly any corn, hardly. enough
to last him through this week,
He had been trying everywherd
he could think of to land 4
hundred bushels or SO and finally
had about given it up when the
rain fell. He then went toa
neighbor and made his final plea
The neighbor open up and lek
him have $50 bushels. He said
that the rainfall assured a corn
crop and on the strength Of the
last fall of dampness let the
feeder have the cornhe needed.
The corn cost 72 1-2 cents the
bushel which makes it a little
high for the stock feeders who
will not make much on the mar
ket with the stock prices going
down and feed prices gong up
ward. The feeders here viii
hang on to their stock however
as long as they can hoping that
prices will go to a higher notch.
Some of the men who have sold
stock lately have lost rather than
made money on their invest
ments owing to the decline Of
the market prices and the high
cost of feed.

turned the last of the week and

of the county. The land re-
covered is quite extensive and
includes an island on the Mis-

and is being cultivated. growing
some crops as good as any in the
county. The antics of the Mis-
souri, river have brought some

readily some day and make"
some land for the Saline county

Some Good Wheat

J. L. Cropper was harvesting
his wheat this week. He had
nearly $50 acres in the grain
and the reports show that most
OF it promised to give a good
output. One part of the field
that had been planted on a for
mer corn field had been mutil-
ated somewhat by the bugs,
flies and worms and this was
expected to yield lightly. The
greater part of it however SEEM

pect for this year.

Suffrage Sustained

By a ballot of Four to three
the supreme court of Illinois has
held the late suffrage law there
valid. The court held that the
law was valid so far as it gave
the women the right to vote on
all questions submitted in
political subdivisions excepting
those questions which the con-
stitution provides shall be settI-
ed by popular vote such as con-
stitutional amendments. This
decision has been apxiOnsly
awaited for some time By the
women of Illinois and there were
more than a few doubt as to
what the decision would be.
The closeness of the division of
the court, four to three shows
why the women were apprehen-
sive.

.Isssas Churches Deserted

ansas last Sunday it was
re ted that TIE attendance at
the country churches was pretty
slim. Instead of the people
coming to hear the sermons by
the pastors, they listened to the
rattle of the binders as they
garnered their big crop of the
cereal. In some parts of Kansas
and Oklahoma binders were
running in nearly every field.
The growth of wheat is rank and
the question of getting help was
a prominent question one not to
be overlooked even for a trip to
church. The farmers evidently
believed that it was time to har-
vest the crop and depend on
prayers later to atone for the
SIN. If any. Of garnsrlhg the
