A Brass Band
For Chesterfield

The movement referred TO
some time ago in these columns
to organize a brass band for
Chesterfield has not died nor
gone into summer quarters but
is moving right along with the
best of prospects for full real
ization of its laudable aim.
Though the movement, we be-
(ieve, was originated by two of
our local secret orders, this a
free-for-all proposition. 1t will
not be directed nor guided by
the orders mentioned as such.
The w. O. Ws. aud the Juniors
|tarted the funds by contrib
ution of $50 each and an additi-
onal $50 have been subscribed
by individuals. The contribu-
tion box is still open.
There is a cordial invitation to
every young man in and near
town who can play a musical in
Strument or VINO would like to
learn to get on the band wagon
by applying to Mr.. w. Il. Hun

fathering this movement to raise
sufficient funds at once to buy
instruments, but mem bers will be
allowed to furnish and own their
instruments
Now let every musically i'm
clined young man within reach of
Chesterfield come forth and
join the band. The age limit,
we understand is indefinitely fix
ed somewhere between 15 and
100 years, though younger or
Dlder people will be admitted on
submitting evidence of sufficient
musical ability.
BE sure to attend the concert
given by the children of the Ok

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Investiga-

press the reports until after November

have a disastrous result on the ma

AS an instance OF this is cited the
suppression OF the reports by the

price of gasoline and print paper.
Both these reports were due the first

DIFFERS HAND DOWN
 MAXIMS ON LIVING

CHICAGO, Dec 5.-Care in market ing and pains in the planning and preparation of meals offer the house keeper the best weapons to combat the high cost of food. This was the conclusion of the dietary committed which managed the two weeks expert ment to prove that good meals can be supplied for 70 cents a day.
 The experiment, in which r em' qloyes of the city health department participated. ended today with net gain in weight of 45.75 pounds. The cost of the daily menus averaged a trihe over 90 cents. Nine maxims to reduce the cost of living were promul- gated by Dr John D. Robertson. health commissioner. Miss Lillian A. Kemp. who had charge of the prepar- ation of the meals. and Miss Anna C. Johnson, a dietician. These are the maxims
 Watch market and food ad, ertise- ments daily.
 Menu making requires time and careful thought. especially with re gard to the adequate amounts.
 Overestimating means additional expense.
 Watch table refuse; it will be a guide in planning and buying.
 Go to market and make your own selections. thereby getting better val ucs.
 Buy staples in bulk so far as possi- blc.
 Buy fruits and vegetables in season.
 Limit use of butter and eggs. espe- cially while high prices prevail.
 Use business methods in your house keeping.
 The following conclusions were reached by MT. :. Lyndon Evans, pres ident of the school in which the tests were made:
 Snapshot menus are expensive.
 Menus should be carefully planned. bearing in mind: What will satisfy in variety and flavor; what will keep the group in health; quantity and quality in buying; wise marketing
 Do your menu making without dis cussion. If it is right your family will be satisfied.
 The use Of less expensive foods is entirely satisfactory fl they are prop erlv prepared and served
 The cost of living is affected in a large degree by the skill or careless ucss of the home makers.

ATTORNEY ACQUITTED
 OF MURDERING WIFE
(ey Review Leased Wirel

ST. JOSEPH, Dec. 5.-0scar D. McDaniel, prosecuting attorney of Buchanan county, was acquitted by jury in the criminal court here tonight of the charge of having murdered Mrs. Harriet Moss Mcdaniel, his wife.
 The jury deliberated for two hours.
 Mrs. McDaniel was found beaten and dying in her bod room here about l o'clock the night of July 14. She died within a few hours without having re- gained consciousness. Two of her three children, asleep in an adjoining room, had not been awakened by the murder of their mother.
 McDaniel's story of the events on the night Of the murder was that he was summoned up town by a decoy telephone call about 11:15 p. m. and returned home at midnight He en- gagged in pistol duel outside his resi- dence with an unknown assailant who hid behind a tree, he said, and then, going into the house to obtain another revolver with which to continue the fight found his wife on the bed room floor dying, her head in pool Of blood.
 Enemies occasioned by his work as prosecuting attorney were accused by him and his friends as being guilty of the crime. A grand jury was called and McDaniel was indicted for the crime.
 The election November resulted in McDaniers defeat for reelection al though majority of the candidates on the county ticket of his party were voted into office. His trial began November 13.
 Four ballots were taken by the jury in reaching its decision, Thomas Cole man. the foreman announced. MT. Me Daniel had left the court room with his children and he had to be recalled before the verdict was read. He sat beside his sister and his aged mother He broke into smiles at the verdict and his mother kissed him. Then the several hundred who were in the court room crowded around him with their congratulations.

EM 8ARGOES.

Nearly everybody seems willing to have the govern men relieve high prices by placing embargo on portsprovded the embargo placed on the goods pro duced by the other fellow.
 The American Federation of Labor, for example wants an embargo on foreign shipments foodstufs. which would benefit the union workman al the expense oG the larlner The bakers likewise eager embargo wheat which would give them cheaper flour at the mer's expense.
 And the farmers, represented by the National Grange demand embargo manufactured goods, wIic would beent the at the expense of the manufacturing industries.
 The only way to impose a just embargo would be to prohibit all exports whatsoever. while that would avoid unfair discrimination against any American citizens, it would bitterness and hatred against among the beigcTent nations.
 The result is that will probably play avoiding trouble both at home and abroad.
