Liquor Law Invalid

The Texas statue of 1907 I'M
posing a tax Of $4,000 a year on
each place handling liquor, cash
upon delivery, was held this
week by the supreme court as an
interference with interstate COM
merce. The decision was on a
case where a Kansas City firm
sued the Pacific Express Co. for
damages for failure to deliver at
points in Texas liquors shipped
over its lines. The company
tried to return the liquor to the
shipper on the ground that after
its receipt but before delivery,
the Texas law became effective.
The Missouri Supreme Court
held this a good defense and the
United States Supreme Court
held this week the law invalid.

Embree-C Crawford

U. M. Embree and Miss Dovie
Crawford dwere unitedin marriage
at the home of Mrs. VIM. SPOTS
at Clifton Hill Saturday after
noon, Rev. Hardy officiating.
Mrs. Embree closed a school
which she had taught at that
city Friday afternoon and de-
string to continue teaching, she
reduced the number if not the
responsibility.
Miss Dovie Crawford was edu-
Gated in our public high school
and is well and favorably known
to nearly every one of this city.
She is the daughter of Mr.. and
and Mrs. John Crawford, former
ly of south east of this city and
a charming young woman with
a host of friends. That she is
of a domestic disposition is es-
tablished by her reputation as a
housekeeper and culinery artist,
and if she don't make a first
class wife in every respect, we
quit guessing. Bud" Embree
is a young business man of
Musselfork and a hustler, a son
of Mr.. and Mrs. L. A. Embree
who conduct a large general
mercantile establishment at that
point. He will continue in busi-
ness with his father so soon as
he returns from a short honey
moon trip and that he will prove
all that the young lady who has
entrusted her future to, we con-
fidently predict.
After the ceremony the young
couple went to Moberly for a
few days, expecting to visit
among friends at other points
before settling down to domestic
life. Our hearty congratula-
tions.

Humming Bird a Silkworm

Col. VIM. Cousins who, in ad-
dition to being a first class re.
pair man of anything out of KEEL
ter, is also the sexton of the
cemetery. While attending to
his duties at the cemetery last
winter he spied what he sup
posed was a hummingbirds nest
suspended from the limb of a
sapling. He gathered the nest
carefully and took it home and
hung it in a safe place to await
the coming forth of the bird.
What was his surprise as we'll the
surprise of the balance of his FAM
lily when, Sunday morning there
appeared a most beautiful silk
worm moth which measures six
inches from tip to tip of its
wings, and the critter is also a
very large specimen.
If there are any doubling
Thomases or James, we have
the cocoon and moth or butterfly
or whatever the maker of silk is
properly termed, together with a
large hank of silk left in the
nest, here in the office. We also
proffer the bug to any who wish
to start in silk culture.

WEIGH Horton

Virrel Welch and Miss Elsie
Horton of Musselfork joined
fortunes and futures at the
home of the brides parents Eas-
ter Sunday, Rev. James Hise
sealing their vows and invoking
a blessing on their welded lives.
Mrs. Welch is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. B. F. Horton of
Mussel Fork and a teacher of
such ability that many regret
losing her from among the
fraternity. Elsie Horton was
not only popular and a leader
among the younger set of her
neighborhood for years, but
noted for a style of beauty which
attracts not alone in southern
Italy but everywhere.
Virrel is one of the solid. pro.
gressive young men of the day,

job" with interest in the work,
and viii! be found at his old
stand with his father at Mussel
Fork the same as if he had not
happened to the best kind of a
streak of luck in securing a
charming wife.
The wedding of this popular
young couple was an event in
the neighborhood, a host of the
relatives and friends being
guests. A course dinner was
served at six o'clock following
the ceremony, and the evening
spent in pleasant social ways.
The number of handsome and
useful souvenirs bestowed by
relatives and admiring friends
bore ample testimony to their
popularity.
We extend hearty congratu-
lations and best wishes for their
happiness and prosperity.

EASTER SUNDAY EVENTS
Churches Filled. Sermons Good.
Easter BOnnets Beauties.
Day PropitiOus.

For a time in the morning
Sunday it looked as tho those
who had equipped themselves
for the proper observance of Eas-
ter were to be sadly disappoint-
ed, for clouds loomed and a
misty condition of the atmos-
phere prevailed, but about ten
o'clock the sun frightened the
day and our pretty girls and wo.
men came forth arrayed in tasty
up-to-date apparel, inspiring
everybody.
We were perhaps inordinately,
proud of the Easter picture we
provided for our front page last
Friday, but if any other paper in
the world had prettier girl
peeping out from among the Ill
les than did the GREAT FAV-
ORITE WEEKLY, that paper
had a prize winner anywhere,
even in Mo. We even felt con-
siderable elation over the gener-
al get up of the paper, the print
and the diversified news, under
the circumstances surrounding
US for several weeks during
which we have had to depend on
new men for the mechanical de-
partment. That we were lucky
in securing a man who under
stands his business, we are
ready to maintain with the
goods. Yes, we are in the squad

George Owen Makes Good

1t is with pleasure that we
chronicle the rise of any one in
business or other particulars but
more especially one, a native of
this city and county.
George Owen, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. Owen who now live
at Lees Summit, Mo. is the
young man in charge of the
mechanical operation of the big
car which runs on gravel road
between Denver and Greely,
Colo, and which carries 250
passengers on each trip. and the
nice part about the position is,
that it pays George $246.00 the
month for his services. The
motor is 240 h. p. and the YEN
ture is somewhat new in that
section but a success from the
start. The business of carrying
passengers overland by motor
bus and car is growing in Sec
tions where the roads will per-
NIT of travel a goodly portion OF
the year, and the position of the
man in charge of the machinery
of such cars or busses is a most
important one to the success OF
the enterprise.
We congratulate the popular
and reliable young man.

This popular school closed
Friday and Miss Minnie Horton

it could do so, rather than lose
the teacher who shows such
good results by her methods

Women A Help Meet

On a very recent night one of
our local clergy spoke some words
concerning the relationship of
man and woman which he was
constrained to say would not
meet the approval of some of
the women in the congregation,
but which were gospel truths
just the same.
The sermon was one which, in
most part, was worthy of being
considered by some long after
the sound of the preachers voice
had ceased to vibrate from the
pulpit, but will it be, or rather,
was it? Many ministers are
preaching from the same text of
late and voicing the same i'm
piled warning to women who
profess full supply of religion
and yet undertake the tasks of
both the men and women. 1t is
to be regretted that the sound
admonitions follow precepts
enunciated which are antagonis-
tic and impelling. 1t is hardly
to be expected that minister
who shoves women of his congre.
cation to the front in political
matters will be able to accomplish
much by sermons on womans
duty to her husband and family
and even to her master, spiritual.

if not congenial occupation anc

WELL DIRECTED EFFORT
Rncker Wants Land Protected
Amends Mo. River RiIl
Speech in Part

Hon. W. W. Rucker offered
the following amendment 10
Rivers and Harbors Bill in which
an appropriation of about a
million and a half dollars was
appropriated for the improve
ment of the Mo. river from Kan
sas City to its mouth;
Provided, that S25O,OO0, or
so much thereof as may be re-
quired, be expended for the per-
manent improvement of the
shores along Carroll and Chari-
ton counties, at points where the
river is leaving it's channel, so
as to prevent the widening of
said river by confning its wa
ters to the present channel, etc. :"
In support of the amendment,
Judge Rucker said in part, Now
Mr.. Chairman, the Government
of the United States has wisely
entered upon the project of i'm
proving this great river, the
Missouri River. 1t is a sane
course to pursue, and take it
that this House by an almost un-
animous vote, responding to a
sense of duty, will indorse the
action of the Committee on
Rivers and Harbors in reporting
the item which is now under
consideration. In the scheme
of improving the Missouri
River necessarily must be in
volved the scheme of bank
protection, in order to keep the
river from widening its bed,
changing its course, and filling
its channel with sand and snags.
| am not going to discuss the
volume of commerce now car
ried upon the Missouri River nor
what increase in volume we may
logically and reasonably expect
when the river is ultimately put
in proper condition. l am going
to address myself briefly to the
real purpose l have in mind,
without any attempt at conceal
ment, appealing to the judgment
of this House to sustain my con.
tention. We spend countless
millions of dollars to remove
sand and dirt from the channels
of rivers in order that a suffi.
cient depth may be obtained tc
float boats loaded with commerce.
Those who think as l do believe
it to be the part of wisdom and
of economic administration tc
expend comparatively small sums
of money to keep the sand out
of the channel rather than large
sums to take it out after il
washes in.
It has been scientifically anG
accurately ascertained by those
competent to deal with the ques
ton that the Missouri River &C
tually washes away not less thar
10, 900 acres of land every l;
months. 1t gives no additiona
force to my contention to tel
