Soudon Grass From
Seven To Ten Feet.

W. H. Graves, one of the
county's most progressive far
mers, living north of Marion,
was in the city on arecent after
noon and left a few stalks of
Soudon grass at the Crittenden
Record-Press Office, which meas
ure seven and one-half to eight
feet in length. He says that he
has a lot more that is ten feet
high. Mr.. Graves has several
acres of this grass and says it is
the prettiest and most valuable
of any crop raised on farm and
that there is no such thing as
failure as " nrospers rain or
shine. This grass can be cut to
great advantage four times a
year and all kinds of stock like
it. This grass has only been
grown in this county recently.
The seed came from Texas.

OF the county. United Ststes
Road Engineer, Walter Brooks,

deduced from field notes taken
by the surveyor. The members
OF the court were all present,
Judge Kendall presiding. The
entire morning was taken up in
discussion for and against the
proposition and early in the after
noon session Esq. Martin moved
the court to rescind its former
action in making. the appropria.
tion of $4,000, for State road
purposes and that motion was
seconded by Esq. Foley. Those
voting for the motion were Esqs,

Minn., Tuesday.

Tuesday afternoon at 2:40 a
message was received in this city
by Mr. George NJ. Crider, in
forming him of the sudden death
of his wife a few moments be-
fore in St. Mary's Hospital at
Rochester. Mimi, where she
was thought TO be, recuperating
rapidly. The message came from
Mrs. Florence Yandel, sister Of
CT the deceased, who accom-.
panied her there and who re-
mained with her after all danger
was thought to be over and Mr..
Crider decided to return to Ma
rion TO look after his business
affairs and prepare the home for
the early return Of his wife. Mr..
Order reached here Saturday
morning and no one who knows
him ever saw him so enthused
over anything as he was over
the wonderful operation and
rapid recovery apparently. Of
Mrs. Crider. He told everyone
about il and was the center Of a
group Of interested friends every
where he went and It was the
only thing he could talk about.
The message contained no state
ment Of the cause and was in
deed a rude shock 10 the hus-
band who was looking forward
to his wife's returning, well and
sound.
Mr.. Crider left Immediately
on the three o'clock train for
Rochester, MINI. A second
message from Mrs. Yandell
stated she would meet him with
the remains in Chicago and this
as telegraphed to Mr.. Crider
on the train at Morganfeld.
Later still a third message came
saying Mrs. Yandell would wait
at Rochester, and this leaves the
matter confused. as friends and
relatives here do not know when
TO expect them here.
No death ever occurred in Ma.
rion which was so distressing,
and none was ever more sincere.

clude books among your presents to
them? Above all, have you a library
in which they can read at willr

you to accumulate one as rapidly as
your means will permit. From the
point Of view of helping you 10 raise
children Of whom in after years YOU
VIII have reason to feel proud, it will
prove one Of the best investments
you have ever made.
Make your library varied Put in
to 1t books-good books-of history,
biography, travel, science, philoso-
ply, poetry, art, music and fiction.
Bup as cheap editions as YOU
please provided they are attractivcly
printed and bound. Whenever pos
sible get illustrated editions.
Don't, however make the mistake
after you have gathered your library
of telling the children that you have
gathered it for their instruction and
that they must read the books in II
Don't, in fact say anything to them
about 1t. Just put the books in n
bright sunny room, leave the door
open and let the children do as they
please.
III they are normal, healthy chill
dren, and If their intellectual curios-
ity has not already been chilled bv
your upbringing OF them, they are
sure to find that room one of the
most attractive rooms In the entire
house.
They will browse among tho
books. they will look at the pictures.
they will read whatever interests

can definitely trace his interest In
history to the reading of Gulliyer's
Travels. copy OF which he found In
his fathers library.
He was nine years old when be
first read Gulliver. Tho copv no
read contained an account OF lta An

history OF the period In which .ts an

came devoted to the study OF history
and eventually became a writer Of
history himself.

p'av part in determining your chill
