of them, President Thomas called on
his private secreary as witness.
Didn't the Cubs make money this
season, Otto?" was the official query.
"Sure they did," said the secretary.
Turning to Treveling Secretary
Cook, President Thomas demanded,
Didn't the Cubs draw good crowds
on the road this season.
Certainly. sir" replied the road
chaperon.
Having thus proved beyond all pos
sible debate that the Cubs made
money this year, President Thomas
again characterized the reported sale

The local branch of the United

The lawn and sunken garden were

light refreshments on the lawn.
Dr.. and Mrs. Hayden will depart

growth reaches its physical and its

that university in his baccalaureate

"a man reaches his full growth

gins to lose his keener perceptions at
about the age of %, which may be
called the physical maximum" said
DR.. Lowell.
"The mental maximum is reached
a great deal earlier than most people
suppose; Coleridge wrote his best
poems when 90 years old, and many
other famous men have accomplished
their best work at about this age. If
this be true, you have reached your
physical maximum and are close upon
your mental maximum. You may gain
something from experience, but your
actual capacity will increase very lit

DlVORCEE SEEKS
BIG PEACE BOND
Dunklin Widow Says Former Hus-
band Promised to be Good
or Pay $4,000.

In suit for the collection of $4,000
on bond, alleged to have been execut-
ed by H. P. Kinsolving, a prominent
citizen of Dunklin County, and former
ly postmaster at Maiden, the plaintiff,
Mrs. Belle Kinsolving, the divorced
wife of the defendant, testified yester-
day in support of her contentious.
1t was the understanding that the
bond would be forfeited and the
amount paid to Mrs. KinsoIving in
case her husband violated the terms of
the contract in which he agreed never
again to mistreat her. Since this bond
was made, the plaintiff was divorced
from her husband, and she now seeks
to have the bond declared forfeited
and Judgment rendered in her favor
for the amount.
The defendant claims that he has
since paid the sum of S. 900 in settle
ment of all claims, and contends that
by that transaction the bond was rem
dered null and void
In her efforts to establish her right
to the sum provided for by the terms
of the bond, Mrs. Kinsolving related
some sensational experiences, among
which was her escape from her hus-
band while they were stopping at the

CARUTHERS THINKS
ADKINS MADE HIT
Reporters Kidnap Cape Visitors
and Delay Montana Jacks"
Revelations.

Prosecuting Attorney Caruthers re-
turned from St. Louis this morning,
after chaperoning Jack Adkins, or
Montana Jack" as his intimate
friends call him, to the metropolis,
whittier he went to solve the mystery
surrounding the robbery of the
Gravois Bank in st. Louis County.
According to Mr.. Caruthers, "Mon-
tana Jack" made an impression on the
officials of st. Louis County, although
the st. Louis newspapers intimated
that Mr.. Adkins belonged in the
Hawkshaw class of detectives.
When Prosecuting Attorney Caru-
theirs and Montana Jack" reached St.
Louis they were met by. a pair of
newspaper reporters, who took posses
sion of them. The Cape official and
his charge were escorted past the St.
Louis County officials and into a res
taurant, where the scribes pumped
the two visitors for several hours,
while the County authorities searched
high and low for them.
Finally the reporters excused them
and they joined the st. Louis County
squad, who listened to Mr.. Adkins
story. "They were impressed with
what Jack said," Mr.. Caruthers an
nounced upon his return home this
morning.
The two Gilbert brothers named by
Adkins were not found, and the st.
Louis police contend that neither of
the brothers would know anything
about the robbery if they could be
found.
Chief of Police Hutson announced
last night that he meyer considered the
story told by Adkins. II could not be-
lieve that men who were desperate
enough to rob bank would take Jack
into their confidence" he said.
81 am sorry that the St Louis po-
lice placed so little Importance in what
Jack had to say. had hoped that his
story might lead to the capture of the
robbers, no matter who they were"

FR. LEVAN TO BLESS
WAY OF The CROSS
Impressive Ceremony to Take
Place at st. Francis Hos
pital Sunday.

The beautiful "Way of the Cross
which was recently presented to St
Francis Hospital by the Rev. Father
M. A. Krug, will be blessed by Father
Levan at 7:15 Sunday evening. This
pretty ceremony is expected to fill the
little chapel at the hospital.
"The Way CT the Cross" consists of
fourteen stations in the crucifixion of
Christ. Each station is made of plaster
of paris, and portrays a scene in the
execution of the Savior.
Father Krug, presented the four
teen stations to the hospital in mem
ory of his mother and father, who are
buried in Germany. Rev. Krug, who
originally came from Munich, spent
several weeks at the hospital during
the last spring. The sisters declined
to charge him.
He purchased the "Way of the
Cross" from the Deprato Statuary
Company, the Pontifi,.l.. Institute of
Christian Art, in Chicago, and sent il
to the hospital as token of his ap-
probation for the care he received
during his illness.
AS each station is blessed a cross is
placed on top of it. Few priests are
able to officiate in this capacity as
they have to take a certain degree
The blessing of the fourteen stations
will complete the little chapel at the
hospital. This is one of the most
elaborately finished chapels in the
State.

He painted an effective picture of
the great industrial development of
Germany during the last 25 years, tell
ing his hearers how he had observed
these wonderful conditions during his
recent visit to their fatherland. He
commented on the courtesy which the
Germany people had shown Americans
at the outbreak of the war, even under
the most trying circumstances. He
told them of his trip over Germany in
the Zeppelin, how he had witnessed
the mobilization of the great German
armies, and how, in his opinion this
was not political war but CONNER
ciaI war, and that it had been brought
about simply and solely because other
European nations had been jealous of
Germany's wonderful and vast expan-
sion in the export business.
But" said Col. Gardner, Germany
has not built upon the sands, so to
speak. She has realized that in her
great industrial development that to
neglect the basis of all prosperity,
namely: Agriculture, would have been
building from the top instead of from
the bottom"
He showed how the statesmen, schol
ars ard students had turned their at
tention to building good roads, educat-
ing the country people and providing
them with a system of rural credit so
that it was not necessary for the boys
to leave the farms and go to the cities
to get these advantages. He pointed to
the fact that it was the duty of the
German and the American, particular
ly at this time, to help solve the eco
nomic problems confronting the peo-
pie.
He stated that statistics showed that
the percentage of the population en-
gagged in agriculture in the United
States had decreased from IS to 80
per cent, and that the cost of living
had gone up by leaps and bounds; that
tenantry was on the increase; that
there was an enormous shortage of
food supplies of all kinds, and that the
Germans in this country should give
this question thorough and careful at
tention as they had done in the father
land, and help right this wrong which
had been done the country people.
Col. Gardner asserted that the large
cities were not only gathering within
their boundaries the population, but
the wealth of the nation as well,
whereas in Germany quite the oppo-
site V as the case. He said that the
best schools in Germany were the
country schools; that the best roads
were the country roads; and that the
cheapest money and the most money
was to be found in the country dis
tricts. He said that the Gardner Land
Bank Act passed by the last Leglsla-
ture was intended to be the financial
