MAY Open TOWN SITE.

The plan to finance the southern ex-
tension Of the electric line of which
already some four miles has been con-
structed and several miles more
graded, will likely develop into a
proposition to open a townsite and sell
lots at the end Of the proposed ex-
tension, some 10 miles southwest Of
this city.
Such a plan has been suggested to
the electric road management and
they are reported as considering it
very favorably. The matter will like
ly be acted upon definitely o In
this plan instead of making an actual
donation to the road the donation will
be in the form Of a purchase Of prop
erty in the new townsite. Such a plan
has been successful elsewhere.

SCHOLARSHIPS As FAIR PRIZES.

Two Missouri fair associations, the
De Sofa County Fair Association and
the Savannah Agricultural and Mech
anical Society, will give prizes this
summer emitting the winner TO a
scholarship in the Short Course for
Women given at the University Of
Missouri next November.
These scholarships will entitle each
woman to $50, the approximate
amount which it takes to cover the ex-
penses ofthe course. Contestants will
be judged on bread making, preserv-
ing, garment making and sewing. The
highest all-round score will be award
ed the scholarship in each case. This
Short Course for Women at the Uni
versity of Missouri lasts seven weeks.
Work is given in those subjects with
| which a woman as a practical home
maker should be familiar. Economy
in the management of household af-
fairs is the keynote of the whole
course. The student learns how to
save material time and labor. The
course affords an opportunity to OBJ
tain the kind of knowledge which a
woman can apply in her everyday
homework and relations to the farm
In addition to the courses given in
home economics practically all the
work offered in the Two-Year Winter
Course for men is open TO women
"Any oma more than 16 years
old may attend.' says Miss Louise
Stanley, assistant professor of home
economies. colder women who have

KANSAS MOTOR PARTY
STRUCK BY ALTON CARS
Machine Demolished but None
Of Party of Three in car
Were Injured.

When S. d. Rutledge, wife and
daughter, Miss Pearl, were hit in
their touring car by switching
Alton cars, on the grade cross
ing by the electric light plant,
Saturday morning at $3.50, Mr..
Rutledge first ascertained that
no one was injured and then
called for an attorney. Upon the
arrival of the newspaper re-
porters and local agent I'll. Mar
shall, Of the Alton, inquiring re-
garding the accident, Mr.. Rut-
ledge gave Mr.. Marshall his
name after much persuasion,
but, like a British censor, re-
fused to divulge his identity to
the press. However as the pub
lie always desires the facts, Mr..
Rutledges rather short insist
ance that he be IAN unidentified
man from somewhere in Kan
sas," had to be unheeded.
Mrs. Rutledge says the only
thing that saved them from be-
ing injured was having the top
of the car up at the time they
were hit. The machine is a
Ford, painted green. Mr.. Rut-
ledge and family were driving
to Springfield, ILL.,, to visit rel
atives.
AS they started across the
tracks at the Western Avenue
crossing they were watching a
switch engine on the Alton and
did not see a string of cars ap-
proaching from the opposite
direction. Before they knew it
they were hit and the car
thrown over on its side. The top
was up and prevented their being
thrown to the paving or the car
turning turtle. The machine
was badly demolished.
They expect to return home on
the train.
One of the eye witnesses to the
accident, Henry Robinson, says
Rutledge drove his machine on
the track and when he discov-
cred the approaching cars tried
to reverse and back out of dam
ger. Robinson says in trying to
reverse Rutledge killed the en-
CINE Of the car and then the
machine was struck.

BRITAIN'S FLEET EFFECTIVE.
THE Outlook.)

The 'man-on-the-street" in Amer
lea is frequently heard inquiring the
whereabouts Of the British feet and
criticising it for not accomplishing
more. Such criticism is based on "a
profound misunderstanding of the ma
val situation.
Just where the British feet is none
but members of the British admiral
ty and a few favored individuals out
side can say. but it is doing its work
we'll. The starvation Of Germany has
been proved practically impossible,
but the starvation Of Great Britain
might almost have been accomplished
by this time had Englnd's feet been
crushed in September. But every day
la stream of bread and beef is poured
into England from cross the seas,
and nothing is heard of German war
ships of any kind except submarines,
The effectiveness of the submarine
has, Of course, been the greatest sur
prise of the war at sea thus far, but it
is wrong to assume, as many people
are assuming, hat the submarine has
made the battle ship obsolete, far
from it. Take all her dreadnoughts
from Great Britain and give her five
or fifty submrines for each of them
and prepare to write fms to England's
career as a great sea power
The exploits of Germany's submar-
ines have been so dramatic that VIC
are inclined to overestimate the value
of their services. In warships Eng
land has lost by submrines only 0
fraction of the number of vessels
that she has built since the war he
gan.

SMALL CITIES MUST WAKE
UP SAYS An AUTHORITY
J. r. Moorehead, Of Kansas City,
Shows the Great Necessity Of
Co-Operation in Community.

Chicago, July 9.-eThere are at
least twice as many people living in
our small settles as in our fifty large
cities. Yet a prevalent opinion is
current that all the people to be fed
by the producers on the farms are
~congregated in the great eenters,"
said ]. R. Moorehead of Kansas City,
secretary Of the Southwest Lumber
mans Association, in an address be-
fore the Banker-Far mer Conference
here today. The Welding Of the town
and small city to the farming com
munities surrounding in business and
social solidarity proved the theme Of
his discourse.
"By eliminating the middleman, the
home market is the most profitable
to the producer If conducted upon the
proper scale. A survey Of nine states
has been made which shows that more
than six thousand towns and small
cities lost population in the last de-
cade. Strange to say, this decline is
most marked in the thickest populated
parts of the states.
Town and Farm Must Cooperate.
"To the people living in these towns
it means a loss Of business, deprecia-
ton of farm land values, a shrinkage
in bank deposits, the drifting away of
the young people in the towns and the
avoidance of such places by the youth
of the country. Its elimination will be
the segregation of business in the
great centers and the downfall Of the
small business man and banker.
'The remedy for this evil lies first
in cooperation between the business
men and then a reaching out until the
gulf which exists between the town
people and the farmers has beer
bridged. There is a great quartet Of
interest in this country which, II
brought together to a common work
ing standard, would be able of per.
forming wonders in this direction. ]

why YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system Is the alarm SYSTEM
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamfni
sleep, i~rritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott's Emui-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny n~erve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
Ing tonic force. 1t is free from alcohol.
