Missouri Woman Will Sell
Lincoln's Az.

Montgomery, Mo-, Feb. 49,
After holding with great tenacity
the very AK with which Abraham
Lincoln made rails long before he
was thought of as candidate for
President of the United States,
Mrs. Savilla Vandeveer has placed
this priced relic in the hands of
her nephew, Edward vandeveer,
q groceryman of this city for dis
posal.
To allay all doubts as to this ak
being the real one that Lincoln
used, Mrs. Vandeveer has gone be-
fore q notary public here and
made affidavit to the facts. In
her affidavit she states that it was
given to her husband, Charles
vsndeveer, by his uncle, William
Smith, who worked with Lincoln
at the railmaking busineas before
the President moved to Illinois
and entered politics.

A japanese Held. as Witness ir
Loss Of Code Book Case.

San Francisco, Feb. 1O.-A
japanese is being held as a wit
ness in the disappearance of a
navy department code book from
the destroyer Hull. The witness
is S. Mato. He is a navy steward
and was on board the Hull when
the secret code book Disappeared.
These facts were the startling
developments today in the charg-
es against Lieut.. H. A. Jones,
former commander of the destroy
er, who will be tried by a court
martial.
Moto is a prisoner on board the
Hull, as is T. Karan, a Filipino
mess boy, another witness.
Announcement that q Japanese
was employed on board the Hull
when the code book disappeared
was followed by the revelation
that Japanese are employed, in
one capacity or another. in nearly
every branch of the United States
navy. This is in spite Of the rules
ordered ten years ago to prevent
the enlistment Of aliens.

Missouri slid backwards during
the year just closed in births to
the extent of 4,176 over the births

of Health, says the Jefferson City
Democrat Tribune. They show
that the total births in the State
in 1915 were 69,749 against 49,
925 in 1914. The death rate shows
Il decrease of 1884, which is some
consolation. The total deaths last
year were 39,4O9. The birth rate
was the highest in September, be-
ing 6,195, and the death rate the
lowest, 1872, the same month.
During the year there were
1.625 accidental deaths, 227 hon.
icides and $50 suicides.
Tuberculosis is still. the most
deadly of all diseases in the NOR
tuary statistics. There were for
the year 4,647 deaths from this
ailment, 1926 from pneumonia,
3,348 from Bright's disease, 2,073
from cancer, 636 from diphtheria,
$50 from typhoid fever, II from
smallpox, 81 from scarlet fever

Obituary.

Harvey Clifford Kinion was
born at Virginia, Bates Co., Mo.
February II, 1913, and departed
this life February 2, 1916, at the
age of 2 years, II months and %
days, after an illness of only one
day of pneumonia, at Hardin,
Montana. Mr.. and Mrs. Kinion
had only been in Hardin one week
when this sad bereavement came
to them.
Harvey was child of happy
disposition, always having a sweet
smile for those he met. He was
loved and petted by all who knew
him. Harvey was only a bud here
on earth ready to bloom into a
beautiful flower when the Mast
err saw a greater joy for the pre-
cious soil and called him to be
with him.
He leaves a loving father and
mother, and number of other
relatives and friends. The flor
al offerings were many and beau
tiful. The funeral services were
held at the Methodist church at
Amoret, Mo-, February 16, 1916.
Interment was made in the Ben
iamin cemetery.
On this earth we II miss the little
one,
Well weep and sigh for his re-
turn
And wonder if such an other ev-
err died.
But. could we see through those
high gates
The welcome to him given
We never could wish our child
from his home in Heaven.

What Statistics Stovv.

What statistics Stow.
Miss Dora B. Smithy. instructor
Of the Teacher Training Course in
the Butler High School, has col
lected some statistics upon the ef-
fects of smoking upon the minds
of young boys, that ought to cause
boys who are users of tobacco to
think seriously.
Slips were passed to each boy in
the High School containing the
following questions, with the un-
derstanding that such answers
were to be treated confidentially
Your name. Do you smoke ?
Have you ever smokedi Have
you smoked during the present
school yeari What do you smoke
and how muchi How long have
you smoked! The grades of the
different classes of boys were
then compared with the following |
deductions Those who had never
smoked made 1913 per cent E
grades. Those who had smoked
during the present school year
made 81 per cent E grades. Those
who had smoked six months or
more regularly made no E grades.
Those who had never smoked
made 1877 per cent S grades.
Those who had smoked some time
during the school year made 1914
per cent S grades. Those who had
not smoked at all made 28.9 per
cent M grades: those having
smoked during the school year
made 21.8 per cent NJ grades and
those having smoked six months
or more regularly 8.8 per cent NJ s
grades. Those having never
smoked made only 81 per cent I
grades as compared with 46.8 per S
cent by those who had smoked at {
some time during the year and so {
per cent by those having smoked |
six months or more regularly. Of 4
those having never smoked 10 per j
cent failed. while $50 per cent of i
those having smoked six months
or more regularly failed. a
The symbol E means excellent, !
5 superior, NJ medium, l inferior,
and F. failure. Y
It will be noted in the above
lata that ''those having smoked
six months or more regularly" are
also included in the list of "those o.
who have smoked at some time a a
Turing the school year" =

ought to be enough to keep : !

The question that every boy e., e.

ial standpoint, from an intellect

of making himself Of vi

NEW INDUSTRY.
Ellsworth Now Making Truck Bodies
for Ford Cars.

Ellsworth Now Making Truck Bodies
for Ford Cars.
Ellsworth has q new industry which
bids fair before long to invade the whole
sale field. This is the manufacture Of
light truck bodies for Ford automobiles.
Already many Of these have been turned
out here, and are in use in many parts Of
Hancock county. Gradually the field is
widening, and as the excellence OF the
Ellsworth body is becoming known,
orders are coming in from points farther
and farther away.
These bodies are being manufactured
by the Ellsworth Auto Co., e. L. Morang
proprietor, the Hancock county agent for
the Ford car The basement Of the large
garage at the west side OF Main street
bridge has been equipped for the manu-
facture of the bodies, and five men are
now kept busily employed on the work,
with orders ahead now sufficient to run
well into next spring. l.. Merle Scott is
in charge Of this department.
The Ellsworth bodies must not be con-
fused with cReap, factory made bodies.
1t is the aim Of the company to put on
the market body built for real service
1t 10 turning out q hand made body, in
the manufacture of which the best OF
wood 10 used. The frame is OF ash and
oak, and the body OF birch. --..- .-....s.
The bodies are made in several styles.
The iesder is six-foot body, with full
ststionarytop and rolling sias curtains
The stock colors are green and bisck-
the trimmings being black, with the panel
work of the bodies in . rich olive green.
1t makes . handsome car. The six-foot
body is also made in the open style.
The other regular style turned out is q
five-foot body OF cheaper grade. The
chespness Is not in the stock-the same
wood, the same serviceability, is in the
body but it is in the size and finish. There
is no chespness in the appearance OF the
body; except for size, the difference il
apparent only to an expert. The five foot
body is also made in the top and open
styles.
The equipment for the manufacture oi
these bodies is rapidly being increased
The Ellsworth body Is bound to win Oh
its merits, and Mr.. Morang is prepared te
kaep q hrea ar of he demand
