Here is one that will make the

One must listen closely to grasp

Use and facts in the case.
About two years ago, Albert Moore,
of Jackson, was married to Miss Kate
Floyd. Well and good!
A year later approximately, Charles
Floyd, of the Cape, brother of Kate
Floyd-now Mrs. Kate Moore-was
married to Miss Stella Moore, daugh-
ter of Albert Moore by his former
wife. Mr.. Moore was married twice.
Now that move alone makes Moore
both a brother-in-law and a father-in-
law to Charley Floyd. Which is right ?
And which relationship should the two
men observe?
This is serious, because they want
to know?
But here is the final move that has
set Moore's and Floyd's heads in a
whirl and they have about given up
trying to figure it out.
Each family has a baby son, both
youngsters born only within the last
few weeks.
What are they to each other? And
why? And how does it happen? And
all about it?

cause he's a son of my own daughter,

Floyd has quit trying to scheme
around the problem and he is willing
to let others get twisted up. The two
men, however, when they get together.
scarcely can refrain from discussing
the phenomenon.
Moore is worried more than Floyd
and he says if anyone can find solu-
ton, he wants to hear of it. Chart it
out on paper, he says.

81 think it would be a capital idea
to have d special train to run us South
east Democrats up to st. Louis on
Jackson Day.
after the proper plans were for
mulated, it would then be d question
as to the location of the Southeast
Missouri club. No doubt, Cape Girar-

haps Poplar Bluff and may be others"
Congressman Russell said: 81 will
be glad to contribute to the successes
of the club in any way | can"
Russell said that he will not be able
to attend any of the meetings held to

prepare for the session Of Congress
that will open in three weeks.
Russell is going to Washington two
weeks in advance to take care Of work
that awaits him there. He will be in
st. Louis Saturday and will depart for
Washington from there.
He tod Alexander that he has talk
ed with many of the county commit
teemen in that part of the State, and
they all have expressed desire to
cooperate with the club in making the
party stronger in this section of the
State.
Alexander, who is at the head Of
the movement, expects to receive let
tiers almost daily from now on in rc-
Spouse to the "feelers" that he has
sent out. He Will call preliminary
meeting with the next week or ten
days, he said last night, when the ten
tatiye plans for the party order may
be outlined.

BRIDGE FOR DALTON

Alexander Abbott, trustee Of Dalton
township, was refused an appropria-
ton by the county commissioners for
the construction of temporary bridge
to be used while a bridge is being
built in that township. Attorney
Hoelscher ruled that because the
county was building a bridge in the
township on township road, the
county was under no obligations to
offer relief during the construction of
the bridge and that the township ought
to stand the expense Of a temporary
structure.
