W|D GWS CE7pENSIoNS
JUDGE BELT FINDS IN THEIR
FAVOR AGAINST COUNTY.
Mesdames Odom and Bush Are Award
ed Amounts Demanded in Legal
Action to Recover.

That the county court has no alter
native in applying the letter of the
law in widows pension cases thai
come before it, was the decision hand
ed down by Circuit Judge H. H. Belt
on Friday in the cases of Mrs. Mary
Alice Odom and Mrs. Eta Bush YER
sus the County of Polk. Mrs. Odom
the widowed mother of three minor
children, sued the county for $232.50
and court costs, alleging that such an
amount was due her because the court
failed to pay her the total allowed by
the widows pension act. Her hus-
band, Thomas Ausbun Odom, died in
Polk county, March 4, 1912. Judge
Belt allowed Mrs. Odom the amount
demanded and continuation of pay
ments at the rate of $25 monthly.
Mrs. Eta Bush, whose husband, Blu
ford A. Bush, died in Polk county in
January 1914, leaving four minor chill
dren, received judgment against the
county in the sum of 1890, court costs
and a continuation of the monthly
prescribed by the act.
Judge Belt said, in his opinion, that
the county could only abide by the law
and could not change its terms to
conform with its ideas. The merits
of the act were not at issue, said the
opinion, and since it is on the statute
books, must be abided by.

INSPECTION OF BRIDGE PUT OFF
County Court Petitions Authorities to
Report on Condition.

A petition to the state highway en-
gineer and the highway commission
was mailed by the county commission
ers on Saturday, asking that the Of
ficers appoint competent engineer to
carefully examine the inter-county
bridge in all its parts and report up
on its condition. The engineers Of
flee will probably have Mr.. Holmes,
bridge construction expert, inspect
the structure early this week, in fact
the county court has been given to
understand that the inspection start
ed yesterday, and the report will be
made sometime this week. A detailed
report is asked for by the court, and
upon this will be determined the nee
essity for new structure or the re-
pair of the present bridge.
1t was the opinion expressed by
the Polk county commissioners that
it would be far better to indebt the
county for new structure than to
jeopardize the lives Of those who trav
ell over the bridge, but if there are
no physical defects in the structure
the expense of a new bridge will not
be undertaken at this time.

STINNETT WILL SERVE TIME.
Right To New Trial Waived-Second
Count Dismissed.

The jury, sitting in trial of Charles
E. Stinnett, charged with attempted
murder of his wife, failed to reach an
agreement after being out fifteen
hours, and the state and attorneys
for the defense agreed upon a COM
promise by which the prisoner will be
sent to the penitentiary to serve the
sentence imposed upon him last week
for assault with a dangerous weapon,
and the second count in the indict-
ment, upon which he was tried Thurs
day afternoon, will be dismissed. AT
ter the first trial counsel for the
prisoner asked until the end of the
week to prepare motion for a new
trial and demanded immediate hearing
of the second indictment. Judge Belt
sentenced Stinnett to a term of from
six months TO ten years on the first
count, and on the second count anoth-
er trial would have been necessary
had not the attorneys reached com
promise. District Attorney Sibley in
tended to prosecute the second count
in the indictment if attorneys for
Stinnett insisted upon a new trial on
the first count. Right to a new trail
was waived, however, in view of dis
missing the second count.
Stinnett was removed from the
county Jail, where he has been lodged
for a week, to the state penitentiary
on Saturday by Sheriff Orr and Dis
trict Attorney Sibley. He commenced
serving his sentence at that time.

o, You Chicken Pie.

That the ladies of the Christian
church hold the blue ribbon as build
ers of chicken pie is the verdict of
those who have on divers and sundry
occasions taken advantage of an OPP
portunity to test their quality. But
there is one big annual event of this
character, when the ladies of this
church fairly outdo themselves in
chicken pie making, and the date for
this supper has been set for Novem-
Der 4, for which more extensive prep
arations than previously are being
made, the ladies approaching the fact
that they have made these suppers
famous in and around Dallas.

BUSINESS men TO MEET
MARKET DAY PLANS TO BE DIS
CUSSED BY VISITOR.
First Public Sales Day Will Be Held
This Month. A. L. Fisher Talks
to Merchants.

The first public market and sales
day will be held in Dallas on Satur-
day, October 80, according to f. E.
Davis, chairman of the committee on
arrangements, which met recently to
prepare details for a meeting OF bust
ness men Of the city to be held on
Friday evening at w. O. W. hall. 1t
may be that this committee will not
perfect its larger details until after
the first market day has been held,
but whether or not, there will be no
change in Mr.. Davis original plans,
to hold the sale as he had intended
before the Commercial club offered the
venture its moral support. AT the
approaching meeting of business men,
at which the committee desires the
presence of every interested merchant
in the city, A. L. Fisher of Albany
will be a speaker. Mr.. Fisher is the
genius behind the successful market
and sales day at Albany, and he will
have some excellent ideas to give.
A large building is to be secured in
which to hold the first sale, and farm
ers and others will bring in everything
that they desire to sell or trade. An
auctioneer will be in charge, and it
is predicted that the exchange will
include a wide collection Of farm i'm
plements, other farm equipment and
livestock. There will be no limitation
to what farmers may bring in. Any
thing from an old churn to ton of
hay will be cared for by the auction
eer 1t is proposed to list. anything
and everything that is brought in and
which a farmer wants to sell or trade.
Mr.. Davis will have personal charge
of the first sales day, if the committee
does not prepare itself to handle it.
He has made promises to the farmers
and he feels like giving them what he
has agreed to do.
At the meeting Friday evening at
the W. 0. W. hall the merchants may
be inoculated with the spirit that has
made the venture a success at AL
bany, and will hurry preparation for
the first sales day. 1t is somewhat
peculiar that, in view of the great
success such days have been in other
communities, the local merchants
do not show more interested action.
Dollar day sales, or special bargains,
are suggested for the merchants in
connection with the public sale, and
this would make an added incentive
for farmers to come to Dallas on that
day. All this will be discussed at the
Friday evening.

POLLING FILLS ARMORy
NATIONAL PROHIBITION SUB
JECT OF FINE ADDRESS.
Native Son Returns To Charm Friends
With Eloquence and Advocate
Prohibition Measures.

An outline of the plan proposed b.
the Anti-Saloon league of America t,
bring about the adoption Of the Hob
son National Prohibition amendment
in congress by 1920 was presented las
Friday evening at the Armory by the
Rev Polling, native son, graduate Of
Dallas college, distinguished leader
of anti-saloon forces and president o.
the Christian Endeayor union Of th,
world. The Rev. Poling's mastery
address delighted an audience of 800
people by its dry, effective humor, the
care with which it was given and the
vocabulary and oratorical powers OF
the speaker. 1t is said that no better
platform orator has been heard in
Dallas than the city's own boy whose
diligent work in behalf of national
prohibition has made him justly ia
nous since he left the home hearth
for broader fields. In his address the
Rev. Mr.. Polling presented many new
facts in the campaign against liquor,
and his eloquence bore his statements
forcibly to the large audience assem-
bled to welcome him home.
The meeting opened on Friday
evening with chorus lead by Paul
Taylor and in brief talk the Evan
gelist Taylor, who turned the meet
ing over to Mr.. Polling, presented that
gentleman to the large gathering of
his friends. National prohibition was
the sum and substance of the ad-
dress. How and why the Hobson
amendment is to be carried was out
lined by the speaker and he express
ed confidence in the campaign of the
anti-saloon workers, saying that the
nation undoubtedly would abolish the
liquor traffic by the time set. The
Materia Media association, regulator
of drugs and medicine and the prac-
tice thereof, has stricken from its
list of medicines or tonics both whis-
key and brandy, said Mr.. Polling.
This action was taken principally be-
cause of the results Of scientific re-
search which showed that the reme-
dial effect of these stimulants was
only temporary, lasting about Is min
utes, and the reaction that set in i'm
was more harmful than the
brief stimulant was good.
Mr.. Polling was brought up in this
community and is known to practi-
,ally every one of the older residents
lere, although he is still only about
thirty years of age. Those who pre-
iicted, when he was a boy in school
lere, that his career would be bright
and that as an orator he would win
distinction, were especially pleased
listeners on Friday evening.
While in Dallas the Rev. NJ. Polling
vas a guest at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. W. A. Griffin.

FAIR BOARD IS ELECTED
LEE FENTON VOLUNTARILY RE-
TIRES FROM PRESIDENCY.
Only Three Members of Last Years
Directory Remain in the Ser
vice for 1916.

A new board of directors for the
Polk County Fair association was
elected at a meeting of that body on
Saturday afternoon, and will elect Of
ficers for the association from within
the group in the near future. The
new board of directors are C. C. Gard

business of Importance transacted at
the meeting was the reading and al
lowanee of all bills against the asso-
citation.
H. L. Fenton, who resigned as pres
ident of the fair association after the
successful county fair of this year,
will be succeeded by one member of
the new board, to be elected by the
board at a later meeting. Mrs. Win
ME Braden, because of the large
amount of work she has done for the
association in the past, was allowed
to go without being made a member
of the official board, but she will carry
on the same faithful and effective
work next year. C. C. Gardner, John
Simkins and p. o. Powell were the
only members of the retiring board
to be reelected.

MOTHERS HEAR TAYLOR
CAPACITY OF ARMORY TAXED
LAST SUNDAY MORNING.
Flying Squadron in Automobiles Wis
its Neighboring Towns on Mis-
sion to Save Sinners.

Last Sunday Evangelist Taylor
preached a powerful discourse to al
unusually large gathering. ''Take
this child and nurse it for me, and
will give thee thy wages" Upon this
one sentence, taken from the story OF
FPharoah's s daughter and the infant
Moses, Evangelist Taylor built SER
mon on motherhood" that brought
sobs Of alternate joy and sorrow from
the most remarkable audience that
|he has yet faced since coming to
Dallas. From half past ten O'Clock
until the opening hour at eleven hun
dreds of mothers and grandmothers
poured into the armory, until every
available seat was occupied, including
the one hundred chairs on the plat
form. 1t was one of Mr.. Taylor IS
best sermons.
Every child, he declared, is put in a
mothers arms as trust from God,
and she has to answer to God for the
way she deals with that child. No
mother on God's earth has any right
to raise her children for pleasure, and
she has no right to engage in any
form of pleasure that will curse her
children. Every mother is trustee
of humanity, and the babe is put in
her arms to train it for the Lord. We
have scriptural authority for believ-
ing that angels guard the helpless
babes. When the mother has done her
prayerful best, you can bank on it
that God will not fail her. That lit
tie babe born Of slave mother down
in Egypt over three thousand years
ago, and found by the princess secur-
ed in little ark floating in the cur
rent of the river Nile, became one
of the worlds greatest heroes, and
is recognized today as the world IS
greatest lawgiver. A mothers love,
and mothers pluck saved it and
gave it chance for its life. ~
think an angel stood there and pinch
ed it to make it weep at the right
time. The princess had mothers
heart, and when mothers heart and
a baby's tears get tangled together,
happens that gives the dew
il cold feet"
While growing to manhood there
is nothing to show that Moses mother
got any help from his daddy. 81
ell you, the devil often gets boy
,y getting his daddy first. Many
BOY would have turned out better if
lis daddy had died before he was
,orn. The mother is doing all she can
o train her children for the Lord,
while the father is doing all he can
o counteract her influences. The
nother's work is often discouraging.
