Madam, If your husband is Ike
most men he expects you to look af
ter the health of yourself and chill
dren. Coughs and colds are the most
common of the minor ailments and
are most likely to lead to serious dis

contract diptheria or scarlet fever
when it has cold. If you will inquire
into the merits of the various rom

-, = Dc hot l40Y ap1thipg about

There is another note for $4,000
given to the Farmers and Merchants
Bank, of Cicero, that is in possession
of an Indianapolis bank. Did you sign
that?"
Il can only say that / do not know
anything about either note"
And that was all the satisfaction
that could be obtained from either j.
L. or j. B. Beck concerning paper
held in Indiana to which their names
appeared. A few days ago the repre-
sentative of an Indianapolis hank
was here trying to get information
about TIE $4,000 note and he sue
ceeded about as well as / did. The
Indiana man did not give his name.
He was small man with dark mus
tache and wore glasses. He had the
$4,000 note with him and was not
able to have the signature of j. L.
Beck identified by any one who was
familiar with Mr.. Beck's writing.
So there is about S21 900 worth of
paper in the Cicero bank, or for what
the Cicero bank is responsible, that
can be marked doubtful. The remain
der is questionable.
Mckinney is bit of town squat
ting in a hollow between hills. 1t is
on the Queen & Crescent railroad,
1872 miles south of Cincinnati and
155 miles from Louisville. Only one
train a day stops here and the only
way to reach the place is by automo-
bile, with horse and buggy, or from
a flying machine-that is if you
miss the one train. There are two
stores, blacksmith shop, little no.
tel, postoffice and several residences.
As it is surrounded by blue grass
farms, there is bank here, too, bit
of bank that has small capital
stock and which does business mostly
with farmers. For about seven years
r. H. Metcalf was cashier of this Nc
Kinney bank. Metcalf was employed
in another littlee bank at Junction
City, a place eleven miles up the
railroad. J.W. Hutchinson was cashier
of the State Bank and Trust Com
pany, of Stanford, KY, and he OBJ
tanned the position of the cashier in
the Mckinney bank for Metcalf.
Hutchinson is now in Louisville SELL
ing life insurance.
When Metcalf appeared in McKin-
ney he was practically without means.
His first salary was $50 month, but
later his pay was raised to $500 a
year. He at once became very popular
in the little village, as he was active
in church work and friendly to every
one. He bought and sold stock in the
Mckinney bank and at one time own
ed $1,000 worth of the bank stock.
Metcalf married the daughter of j..
L. Beck and built handsome home.
Suddenly he announced to the owners
of the Mckinney bank that he had
bought bank at Cicero, Ind, and
was going there to take charge. The
owners of the Mckinney bank tried
to dissuade him from leaving, but he
answered that the deal had been
made and he must go.
The owners of the Mckinney bank
are reticent concerning their rela-
tons with Metcalf. All they would say
is that whatever he may owe the bank
is, in their opinion, amply secured

TELLS OF INVESTIGATIONS
ABOUT METCALF HERE
indianapolis Reporter Tells of Notes
Lincoln Men Are On and Gives
Metcalfs History

w. H. Blodgett, the special staff
correspondent of the indianapolis
News, who came to Lincoln county
and spent several hours at Stanford
and then went on to Mckinney to
investigate the record of r. H. Met
calf, former cashier of the McKin-
ney bank, who is now involved in con-
nection with the failure of his bank
at Cicero, Ind, wrote an interesting
story of his visit and investigation in
Lincoln upon his return home. AS told
in Fridays /. j., he found that Met
calf stood high in this community.
His story in the Indianapolis paper,
is of much interest here where Met
calf has many relatives and friends.
1t reads as follows:
Mckinney, KY, March 20.-The
Farmers and Merchants Bank, of
Cicero, Ind, which is in the hands of
a receiver, holds paper for about
$4,000 signed by R. H. Metcalf, who
was president of the bank and who is
under bond on a charge of embezzle-
ment; j. NJ. Metcalf, who is the faith
er of R. H. Metcalf, and G. M. Met
calf, his brother. The fathers sigma
ture is to about $1,000 worth of pa
per. j. NJ. Metcalf runs a little drug
store at Paint Lick, KY, and the bro
theirs live there.
Persons here who were asked about
the real value of the Metcalf paper
said they would not give 500 for the
entire $4,000. There is also in the
Indiana bank paper signed by j. L.
Beck, the father-n-law of r. H. Met
calf, for $4,000, and in addition to
that note there is a note of $4,000
attached to which is the signature of
j. l.. Beck in possession of an Indi-
annapolis bank. There is also paper
with the signature of j. B. Beck for
$3.50, the brother-in-law of R. H.
Metcalf. Persons here said that the
Beck paper is good if the signatures
are genuine
j. L. Beck, the father-in-law, lives

In the country. He owns several hun
dred acres of fine blue grass farm
land and in financial circles has ra-
ting is AL.
j. l.. Beck was not inclined to dis
cuss the notes on which his signature
appears. He is a short heavy set man
with a kindly face and manners that
beam with the old-time before-the-
war hospitality. Asked if he had sign
ed the note for $4,000 he answered.
Il do not know anything about the
note"
You know r. H. Metcalf?"
Eyes sir, he is my son-in-law."
"And you will not say whether you
<igned the note?"
