| have made friends with some
fine little girls and also some
young ladies, in spite of the fact
that on a young mans third call
on a young lady the head of the
house wants him to state his rea-
son for calling so often. | have
not called but twice on any one.
When I 60 agaiu-well, III write
you later about that.
| would like to have about three
girls, about u to 10 years OF age,
volunteer to correspond with three
little girls here. The correspond
ence, of cource, will be in English.
These are intelligent little girls
and think it will be real inter
esting to have letters from a little
foreign friend. The English of
these girls is very amusing. l

respondents.
Now, this may not appeal to the
girls of Macon, but | wish it
would. think it such a nice
plan. Letter writing is an accom-
plishment that is so badly neg
lected. This will not only be a
help in that way, but it will be
so instructive ,or you and also for
these girls. You need not be
afraid they are not intelligent
enough to correspond with; you
may be surprised when you know
them better.
I feel that | should apologize
for this long letter. 1t is so dis
connected, too.

From Big Bud.

On the 4th day of January,
1865, a company of gentlemen,
in Cincinnati, O., got together
and organized the Union Central
Life Insurance Co., and that
company has had a most remark
able and successful career since
its organization so years ago.
We have been notified by Presi-
dent Clark that they will cele-
.brate their golden anniversary
on Juhe 4, 1917. ''
Some time last summer he sent
out a statement showing the
terms on which agents would be
invited to attend this convention
at the expense Of the company,
viz: Each agent who paid for
$4,000 exclusive of terms insur-
ance would be given this trip,
and any general agent who's
agency exceeded the amount
written in 1915 should also be
invited. A few days ago | was
very much gratifed to receive
the following letter:
President Clark has referred
your letter of the 4th inst. to me
for reply, and am more than
pleased to advise you that your
agency has already settled a
larger amount of insurance, ex-
elusive of term, than during
either of the years 1914 and
1915, and by virtue of this in
crease you, as senior member of
the firm. are already a duly quail
flied delegate to the Fiftieth An
niversary Convention.
| assure you that President
Clark, and every officer of the
company, as we'll as all of the
agency force who have had the
pleasure of knowing you, will be
sorely disappointed if you fail to
attend the convention. Please
do not disappoint US.
l am pleased to report that
your brother, Van c., has also
qualified on personal production,
and that your son, W. NJ, lacked
on Nov. 30. but S28, 900 aodi-
tional in order to qualify On the
same basis.
Looking forward to the pleas
ure of meeting you again, am,
CHAs. HoMMEYER,
Assistant Supt. of Agents. y
I am glad to state that Mr.. W.
Cavett has also qualified since
the receipt of this letter,
am publishing this because
am sure that our many friends
will be gratifed to know of the
success of our agency.
Will and Van as members Of
the firm put in the majority of
the business which has made il
possible for the agency to quail
ify.
With best wishes, | am,
Yours truly,
Big BUD.

Give gifts within your means. Do
not let the custom become a burden.

He claims he has never been asked to
reimburse the county for the dieting
of prisoners and did not know what
the state claimed of him until he saw
the report prepared by Mr.. Hunt, chief
state examiner.
County 10 "Broke."
He said that he did not know the
amount claimed on the lodging and
dieting Of prisoners until then but
now stands ready, able and willing to
pay back any overcharge. ...
Mr.. Cremer testified that he is paid
in county warrants and that he now
has $1,000 which he has not cashed
because the county is broke"
Talked to RamseII. n
The sheriff testified that he, had
talked over the phone to Police Judge
Ramsell about how long a time con-
stituted three day term and was told
that seventy-two hours should be con-
sidered as such. He told Doran, he
says, that his Instructions were to
hold prisoner twenty-four hours for
the day. sr. &. 4a.. 4.
When the state checkers audited
his books in July, 1915, and found
that he had received more than he
was entitled to, he said he very glad
ly and willingly paid it back. But
the sheriff told the court. he was not
satisfied that that was all he owed
the county and he asked Doran to go
over the books with him and check
1t up but the deputy refused time and
again, always saying: Later on; we
will after while. @'''
Takes Up Cases.
Taking up several of the cases in
which the state claims there have
been overcharges made on fees and
mileage, the sheriff gave his explana-
ton for them.
In getting witnesses for the Chester
Smith case he said he made two trips
far into Keokuk county and all
through the Skunk river bottoms He
said that he know none Of them, had
hard work finding people who did, was
not acquainted with the territory and
often took the wrong road.
He made trip to Hedrick to look
for Floyd Dean before he found him,
the subpoena on Mavern Schwartz
was served by Doran and he knew
nothing about the mileage in it. The
mileage of S1.60 in the service on
Jesse Breon was actually travelled, the
sheriff says. For serving three grand
jury subpoenas on John Schafer, Jr.,
J. F. O'Niell and ]. F. Wilson there
was mileage of $500 and Cremer
thinks this distance was actually trav-
eled, too. He said heidi not author
ize the taxing of $3.50 in serving sub
poenas in a divorce case for he per-
sonally knew the parties and knew
that they could not pay the costs of
the action.

YOUNG BOY KILLED
BY COLTS KICK

Perry, April 10. One Of the saddes'
accidents which has happened in the
vicinity of Perry for long time was
that when little Howard T. Meier, the
three-year-old son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Her
man Meier, received injuries which re
suited in his death.
Master Howard was with his father
while he was working in the field al
the home, about four miles east OF the
city. The lad was playing around and
when he saw yearling colt in near
bv lane, he crawled under the fence
picked up a stick and started to drive
it away. The colt, more in spirit OF
playfulness than anything else, kicked
up his heels and started to run. One
of the hoofs struck the little boy in the
abdomen. He was not rendered uncon'
scious and for time it was thought ne
was not seriously hurt.
