sence on account of illness.
We are glad to report Mrs. Mary
Morrison, whose accident was men
toned last week, as resting quite com
fortably and doing as well as had been
expected Her children are giving her
every care and attention.
John Thompson, who resides on
Bruny Bells place in Paradise town
ship, met with a painful accident last
Thursday evening, which nearly cost
him his life. He went to his farm,
which lies east of where he resides,
to feed his cattle AS he entered the
yard with the corn an animal which
had heretofore been, inclined to be
vicious, charged him and getting him
in most convenient place, crushed
him against the building in such a
way that he soon fractured several OF
Mr.. Thompson's ribs and seemed des,
tined to finish him completely. Mr..
Thompson's son appeared on the
scene at an opportune moment and
with the aid of a pitchfork drove the
animal away and thus released his
father. The latter was taken home,
where lie has since been confined to
his bed. We are glad to note that the
pneumonia symptoms which appeared
have passed and Mr.. Thompson is on
the way to recovery. The call was
pretty close. We shudder to think OF
the outcome had the animal had horns
or had Peter not arrived just when he
did

the following account of a family
living in st. Francois county. The CO.

sasinated. The Oldest daughter is
five days older that Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth, whose husband and the

Baker Lead Co.
GptiOning Land
Near Bonnie Terre

1t is reported on good authority
that the Baker Lead Company of
Leadwood is securing an option on
the old Patt farm lying on the north
west side of Bonnie Terre. The land
joins the Bonnie Terre Heights on the
north. There are 238 acres in the
Patti tract and is owned by the seven
children and their heirs. 1t has been
drilled in part by two other companies.
Whether or not the company is pay
ing anything for the right to drill the
land could not be learned, but it is
said the option of the purchase price
is 5000 an acre. The Baker Company
has been active in recent months in
looking out new mining fields. 1t was
after the Leadwood land had been
drilled and refused by other companies
that the original Baker Lead Com
pany bought the tract which they
now operate and have found some of
the richest ore in the county.-Bonne

Will Make
Preparedness
Main Issue

Washington, January 23.-President
Wilson's determination to talk to the
people of the Middle West on ma
tional preparedness has had the eff
feet of restoring that issue as the up
permost subject of interest and discus
sion in Congress.
For several weeks, although COM
mittees have been engaged in consid-
GRAFTON of the army and navy appro-
priation bills, preparedness has been
overshadowed by the Mexican problem
and international questions. Now
however, with the President about to
tour the country to arouse the public
to military requirements of the ma
ton, administration and opposition
leaders realize that lively times are
ahead on Capitol Hill.
Democratic leaders thoroughly in
sympathy with the Presidents views
on preparedness are gratified over the
purpose Of the Chief Executive, mas
much as there has been apparent in
Congress for some time tendency to
adopt waiting policy among many
members uncertain regarding the
views of their constituents on the sub
ject. The Presidents tour, it is be-
lieved, will serve the double purpose
of bringing out public opinion and
stirring up members of Congress.
On the other hand, opponents of
preparedness see in the Presidents
trip an opportunity to further their
cause by replying to his arguments in
the Senate and House
Mexican Situation Less Alarming
Uneasiness over the Mexican stu
alton, which stirred Congress for more
than week, has greatly abated and
probably will not be revived soon I'M
less sensational developments should
occur in Mexico.
Administration leaders regard the
danger of being forced into difficult
ties with Carranza averted for the
present and even Republicans of the
Senate have concluded not to force the
issue of intervention to a vote at this
time. Sentaor Borah, one of the fore
most believers in the necessity of |
action in Mexico by the
United States, has decided that there
is nothing to be done at this time.

BUSINESS UNIVERSITY NOTES

Misses Elizabeth Albaugh and Ly-
dia Hoehn of near Pennington visited
our school Tuesday afternoon. We
are always glad to have visitors, and
invite these young women back when
ever convenient.
Papers are being prepared for the
incorporation of our school, and while
we are trying to not overlook the
names of any former graduates and
students that would probably like to
join our cooperative plan of opera
ton, this is to serve notice that Pres
ident Moothart will be very glad in
deed to have said former students
write him saying that they would be
glad to take at least one share of $40
in said corporation. A number of
students will probably take from $50
to $100 Now, if the aforesaid stu
dents do not receive our literature
within the next week or ten days, it
is very probable that the names have
been overlooked, and hence we shall
appreciate compliance with the afore-
said request.
Mr.. Freeman, who is conducting
contests of different kinds in this
county, was a visitor Monday.
Palmer Campbell of Pennington
has enrolled this week for some spe-
cial work in the typewriting and pen
manship departments.
Miss Coda Green is surely making
a good record as stenographer in st.
Louis. She reports having recently
a second very liberal monthly in
creased stipend.
At the weekly typewriting contest
last Friday the following were the
winners: Miss Lois Hunt, beginning
division; Miss Mamie Wheeler, sec
ond division, and Mr.. Harry Sheets,
advanced division. These contests will
continue weekly, and at the close of
the first quarter, there will be final
contest in speed and accuracy, at
which time a gold medal will be
awarded to the winner.
Miss Hazel Belknap has recently
become stenographer in the office of |
Marshall & Golfer of Flat River.
Miss Caroline Sailing, who is book
keeper and stenographer for the Flat
River Ice & Cold Storage Co., at Flat
River, made us short visit last Fri
day. Miss Sailing is doing good work
and is well pleased with her position.
We understand Miss Agnes Mackley |
is keeping accounts and doing general
clerical work for the Abbitt Market, |
Flat River.
Among the students who have been
absent two weeks or more, returning
this week are Misses Augusta Law
renee, frankie Hamilton and Mamie
Farmhouse. Several others who have |
been out from one to three weeks re-
port that they expect to return next

Democratic leaders in both houses
expect Mexican speeches to lie made
now and then as a matter of course

at least.

Anti Pointers


New York City has a new motto in
verse form, which if not poetic, is at
least hygienic:
"Cover up each cough and sneeze!
If you don't, you'll spread disease"
The appropriateness of it consists
in the fact that 100000 New Workers
are said to be suffering from the grip,
and 100000 have bad colds. The
Health Board has started publicity
campaign against the allied germs
intrenched in the subway and other
public places. After firing the AZ
centimeter couplet quoted above, it
has plastered the city with such bits
of advice as these:
"Avoid crowds and keep away from
persons who cough or sneeze."
"Don't ride when you have only a
short distance to go, Walk"
"Get plenty of sleep, with the win
dows wide open"
walk a mile everyday in the open
air."
All of which is admirable preven-
tive advice for any man, woman or
child anywhere in America.
