THE County Court is in &C
cord with the people Of Audrain
who appreciate the Importance
of farm advisors, and members
of the Court are personally SUBJ
scribing to the farm bureau
fund, and are perfectly willing
to hav the County assist in pay
ing the farm adviser providing
the taxpayers of Audrain are in
favor of this move. In all other
counties except one, the county
ssists in paying the farm advis-
or's salary, and we believe the
Taxpayers of Audrain are cor
daily in Sympathy with this
movemen;. On account of a mis-
understanding when the matter
was first AIKEN up, there was
some objection, but there has
been wonderful change in the
sentiment since Farmer" Rusk
has demonstrated the import
ance of lis work. When the
county lays part of the salary,
the citizins will feel more free to
call on Farmer" Rusk and his
work vii be even more import
ant tina it has been in the past.
We wnt to call your attention
to a brif statement found in the
Ledgershowing just what Rusk
has doe in this county. 1t
would De a shame to drop this
work ow, and there should be
no troble in showing the Coun-
ty Cort that majority of the
tax-pSers of the county are in
favor of this work. We
believ that Farmer" Rusk and
Superintendent of County
Schols Johnson are doing splen-
did prk in Audrain County in
the 'ay Of awakening interest in
our schools and in advanced
farning. The meetings they are
holong throughout the county

community spirit which brings

THE st. Louis Republic

THE st. Louis Republic is
very much opposed to the bill
proposed that will license race
horse gambling again in Mis-
souri,. This bill seems to be a
subterfuge in the way of per-
mitting gambling, and the Re-
public editorially says: st.
Louis and the State of Missouri
long ago thrashed out the ques-
ton raised by this proposed
measure and recorded the pop
ular verdict. We are simply
concerned at the present NOM
ent to say a word for the calling
of things by their right names.
Misbranding is as out Of place
in legislation as it is in thecattle
business or the drug business.
The act in question is called "A
bill to regulate contests OF speed
and endurance, to encourage
the display Of live stock and ag-
riculture and to provide for the
organization Of i've stock So
cieties." We respectfully
suggest that this would be bet
ter: "A bill to restore the de-
funct industry Of race-track
gambling and for other pur-
poses secondary thereto"

death without a moments warning

the catastrophe has affected our

ity have immediate friends, relatives
and even neighbors who have suf-
fered through that terrible disaster
of the Eastland. All arrangements
had been made for an outing on the

But no one has the courage to take

HELLER BOY IS
VICTIM Of AUTO
Playing in Street is Struck
by Automobile and Pain
fully Injured.

Master Merl Heller was the victim of
serious accident last Monday He
with three other playmates were in the
road in front of the Mrs Rose Smith
residence picking up the pieces of ice
that had been scattered by the ice
wagon. Miss Dorothy Hall was driving
her fathers seven passenger Studebaker
at a moderate speed. The boys, on
seeing the machine, separated, one 60
ing in one direction and the other two
in the opposite way. Dorothy turned
the machine so as to avoid the two boys
and in doing so struck the Heller boy
knocking hlm to the ground, fracturing
his collar bone, also the bone 10 the arm.
The little fellow was picked up and
taken to his home and DR.. Jackson was
called and set the fractured bones and
NJ Merl was made as comfortable as possl-
bio. AS far as we can learn no blame is
attached to Dorothy. 1t seemed to be
one of the inevitables. If the boys had
all run in the same direction the acci
dent would not have occurred. The in
jured boy and his parents have the sym
psthy of all as such accidents are all
lamentable

Puts bullet through auto
tire when driver refuses
to stop the car.

Gladstone Beattie is not only one of
the best sherifs in the state, but he is
also "cracking good" marksman. 1t
DOESN'T matter To him whether the
"game" is sitting or ION the wing" be
gets them just the same.
Last Saturday night about eleven
o'clock he received a request from the
sheriff at Kalamazoo to apprehend four
men, who had stolen an auto tire from a
machine in Kalamazoo, and who were
headed this way in fast automobile.
Beattie waited on the Dyckman house
corner for the car. He did not hay
long to wait for they were driving rapid
y. he stepped n front of the car and
ordered them to stop. But they simply
turned on more gas and he had to step
aside or get run over. Here is where
his ability as a marksman was shown.
He drew his Colts revolver, and as the
machine was speeding away from him,
put a bullet through one of the rear
tires. The driver then stopped the car
and the occupants were taken 20 the
Jail. They proved to be four Bay City
boys, all members of prominent families,
who were on their way to the Pacific
coast. The sheriff from Kalamazoo ar
rived about 300 a. N. and took the
quartet to Kalamazoo, where they we're
bound over to the circuit court for trial.

the magazine says
elbow much better would have been for this commercial
organization to have passed resolution commencing the

There is Just one thing that the shpbudng industry
Seattle should do 1t should appoint committee consisting
representatives from Ballard to Georgetown to make the
rounds of the financial and business interests of the city
Seattle with the idea of getting up strong protest against
the action of the Commercial Club of Seattle Every railroad

first join with the shpbuders although the majority of
memberships of theses classes have been withdrawn from the
