MISS rlOTenCe OuueEWOOo mas gone /
to her home in st. Louis after visit
ing Mrs. II. G. Carnes several days. |
Florence is one of our home girls and
we always are glad to see her here.
Charles Keplinger is able to be
about after a severe spell with rheu-
matism. He holds more offices than
any one man in town. He has been
street commissioner for some time,
and, at the city election, he was made
tax collector and chief of police. We
certainly couldn't do without Mr..
Kepilnger.
Little Miss Alice Sims, who has
been quite sick, is about well again.
Mrs. w. s. Doolin and Mrs. II. C.
Carnes attended Easter Star Chap
ter at Laddonia last. week
W.s.Doolin is loading and ship
ping corn and hay. Hay going to st.
Louis and corn to feeders on the
South Branch. The Tractor for ].
T. johnson was unloaded here and ia
ken out to his farm east of town.
We had six experts from Chicago and
two from Mexico to watch the pillow
work. This is the first pillow of the
kind around here and it sure works
to perfection.
Saturday, is cleanup day in Rush
Hill. Now, say his is our first offense
at cleanup day and we are going to
have things look better. This is fine
thing for all towns, large or small.
Quite a hail here Tuesday but
nothing hurt.
Mr.. Lovelace, 3rd trick operator,
has moved to Rush Hill. He came
from Thompson. Mr.. Shufelt is going
to Thompson to fill the vacancy there.
Miss Sadie Devaney of Kansas City
is visiting home folks here during
the Easter holidays. Miss Francis
Devaney and Mrs. Greed Ray and son,
John, were shopping in Mexico Satur-
day. We are sorry to hear of the
illness of Mrs. Henry Smith. We
have a new restaurant in town. Fine
people, we wish them well.
Easter services were held at both
churches by appropriate songs and
exercises. The 'teen-age classes,
whose teachers are Wallace Feutz of
the boys class and Mrs. Clyde Shoup,
of the girls class, took full charge
of the s. S. at the Union church and
they deserve credit for the way in
which they managed it. Qtl1aB Brad
ley was acting supaEi6 Tent. A
short program aered, which
was splend3 Zach man, woman
and childIBas given bunch of violets
to wear. 1t certainly added touch
of Spring" to the looks of the con-
gregation to see everyone wearing
violets. We want to thank these
young people for giving us so rare
an Easter service. All deserve much
praise.

NEGLECT 0F AUTO OWNERS CAUSES
 INCREASED BILLS
Few Minutes Attention to Small Details Will Save
 Money.

There is many a mOtOrist who does not hesitate to condemn the treatment his car receives at some certain gar age. If that same motorist who be- littles the efficiency of repair man were to look into his own tool buxes and baggage compartments and if it were human nature for a man to give an entirely unbiased op;ninn of him self he might agree that his own carelessness was costing him more money and inconvenience than the gara geman's neglect.
 Particularly is this true of ;he care of side curtains. These particular items are one part of the car which are brought into use quickly and are stored away in equal haste. When the rain comes the owner yanks bis curtains from the baggage compact- ment in which they are stored and applies them. Then, when the sun comes out again, he pulls them off with equal haste and loads them at random into the nearest available space.
 The result is that the curtains be- come covered with dust and dirt and the mica windows become cracked and broken so that the assembly Is eventually so unsightly that the own CT is ashamed to put it on his car, preferrirg to ride in the wet and cold. Such a state is unnecessary. It is as easy to care for the side curtains properly as it is to keep the spark plugs clean, easier in fact, because it does not require any mechanical knowledge. And a set of new side curtains is more costly than set of spark plugs.
 Suppose your car is equipped with six curtains, three on a side. It would cost you about $1 to have two sacks made up in which these cur tains could be properly stored, free from dust and dirt, and not nable to shuffle about among an assortment of tools. tire chains and the like which is their location in about nine out of ten cases. Most baggage com partments are dust catchers and loose curtains will suffer.
 These sacks should be made about twenty inches wide and long enough so that when the curtain is rolled up it will just fit into the sack so that the top of the rolled curtain is even with the top of the opening. Procure six pasteboard mailing tubes of the proper length and roll the curtain

around these tubes.
 It is advisable never to fold the cur tains flat, as it will be practically i'm possible to crease them SO that the mica windows will not be folded ovc1 at the creases, and it is this folding of the mica which cracks and break: it. If the curtains are rolled abOu something such as the mailing tubes this danger will be eliminated.
 Three curtains, rolled up as de scribed above, should fit very com pactly into leather case of the dl mensions previously given. This case can then be stored away in any con venient location in the car Withou danger of damage to the curtains contained inside.
 Windows Cracked.
 For the owner who reads this ar- ticle and decides to take the advice given, only finding upon examination that his curtains are already in bad condition, it may be said that cur tains which are covered with oil and filth, providing they are not torn and the mica windows cracked, can be brought back into fair condition by a thorough securing with pure soap It will not harm the leather, or rather the imitation leather, as the latter material is universally used, to SCOUT it.
 If the mica is cracked and the cur tains are torn about the fastenings it would be best to procure new set of curtains and then set about to pro- vide for them in suitable manner sc that there will be no need of going tc that expense again. A set of cur tains, properly cared for, should out last the car itself.
 It is a regrettable fact that many of the car manufacturers, especially the low-priced car makers, utilize such things as the side curtains and other equipment to reduce the cost of the assembly. Probably they consider that curtains are not used enough to need any special attention as regards de sign to make them sturdy and de- pendable. The result is that many owners, when driving their cars in a wind storm, suddenly find one or more of the curtain fastenings pulling out from it's moorings, leaving tear ir the curtain material and rendering il practically useless.
 It is better to make the necessary alterations in the curtains to prevent this than to wait until it occurs. Ir many curtains there is an excuse fol a reinforcement patch sewed into the curtain material around the fastener which is generally about as valuable as no patch at all. The owner whe wants his curtains to be permanent should take them to a harness maker and there have genuine leather re inforcing patches sewed around all the fasteners. With this done, there will be no danger of torn curtains and if the patches are neatly sewee onto the inside of the curtain they will not be unsightly.
 The proper care of side curtains is a good subject for the garage man te preach to the owner who patronizes him, and side curtain cases carried ir the accessories stock would undoubt edly net good profit. When ar

CALOMEL TODAY, SICK TOMORROW
Dose of Nasty CalOmel Makes You Sick and You Lose Days Work.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury. Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug gish liver. When calomel comes into contact with sour bile it crashes into it, causing cramping and nausea.
 If you feel bilious, headachy, con- stipated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get 50-cent bot tie of Dodson's Liver Tone, which Is harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you Up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without mak- ing you sick, you just go back and get your money.
 If you take calomel today you'll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; be- sides, it may salivate you. while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great, full of ambi- ton and ready for work or play. It's harmless, pleasant and safe to give to children; they like it.

TAAINMEN CHARGE RAILROADS ONLY
 SEEKING DELAY
Allege l. c. C. Has Already Passed on Question of
 Wages.

Cleveland, July 8--Anything for colay, is the plan of the railroads i'll dealins with the demand of the employees for an ei8nt~hour day, is chars d in a statement issued today by the transportation brotherhoods.
 Railroads are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to ask the pub lie tor their support on a proposition to refer the controversy 10 the inter state commerce commission.
 The public should know that the Interstate commerce commission only very recently and on two different occasions, have reported at some length and in considerable detah upon this very question: It's reports comprehend two wide spread investi- sations since 1910 and are the result of attempts on the part of the rail reads to make use of Increases in wages to induce the commission to give it's consent 10 increase in freight raj S.
 The whole subject of wages was @oAe into by the commission with much care and in great detail.
 The railways were fully represent ed by counsel and large numbers Of witnesses t9 9stified in theibehalf Eminent counsel appeared in be- half of the opposition 10 the roads.
 The attorney for the commission also participated in the proceedings and prepared and presented for cor sid ration, a great mass of statisti- cal information
 i, No Necessity Higher Rates.
 After a full hearing of the invest1- | gation upon all the facts and cir cumstances. the commission held that there was no evidence before it which established the nee ssity for high rates.

2l,000,000 MEN
 0f MILITARY AGE
 IN UNITED STATES

Washington, July -.-How many able-bodied citizens of military age have we in the United States?
 The bureau of the census, while it is unable to make any estimate of the proportion who are able bodied, esti- mates that the total number of male citizens and prospective citizens-that IS, foreign-born persons who have de- clared their intention to become citi- zens-18 to 45 years of age, inclusive, is not far from 21,000,000.
 This estimate is based on the as- sumption that there has been an in crease of approximately 10 per cent in the population of the country since the census of 1910. When that census was taken the total number of male citizens and prospective citizens IS years of age and over, but under 46, was 19,183,OO0. Of this number, 14,- 224,O00 were native whites, 2,S57,O were foreign-born whites who had be- come naturalized or had declared their intention of doing so, 2,O52,00O were negroes and 50,000 were Indians. The number of foreign-born citizens is partially an estimate, since the census enumerators were able to obtain in- formation as to citizenship from only about seven-eights of the total num- Der of foreign-bon males. Native whites thus represent about "A per cent of the total, foreign-bo whites nearly 15 per cent, negroes nearly II per cent and Indians about three tenths of l per cent.
 During the civil war, when the population of the country, exclusive of the seeding states, was less than one-fourth as great as the present population of the entire United States, the total number of men serving in the federal armies at one time and another was approximately 2,500,000 (due allowance being made for dup licate enlistments, that is, cases in which men enlisted more than once).
 The following table gives, by states, the total number of males IS to 45 years of age enumerated at the census of 1910. The figures in this table include approximately 1,796,00O alien whites and 92,00O Chinese, Japanese and others, together representing about 9 per cent of the total, who would be ineligible for military serv- ice. The census bureau has not com piled the numbers of these classes of the population, within the given age limits, who were living in each state in 1910. Taking the country as whole, however, the probable increase in population between 1910 and 1916 will approximately counterbalance the number of alien whites, Chinese, Japanese, etc., included in the figures for 1910, so that these figures may be accepted as roughly representative of the number of male citizens and prospective citizens IS to 45 years of age, inclusive, in each state and in the United States in 1916.

NUMBER 40,

Th.s federal tribunal said # is Interesting to note that not tins and las wages constitute a large part os Ii Q sportation expense this item of expense has shown a relatively small advance as compared With other groups"
 The commission call5d attention to the fact that efficiency of operation and management are the most inn portant things in the reduction of operating expenses. and, as an illus tration. the commission cited the statement of the general superinten- dent Of motive power of the Pennsyl- yania railroad who lessened the cost Of building locomotives between 1903 aud 1913, although the rate Of wages increased nearly 40 per cent.
 The official utterances of the inter- state commerce commission answers authoritatively, questions raised by the railroads in their opposition to the present movement of tha railway rrotherhoods for an eight-hour work day for employees in freight train service
 Seek to Bef0g Issue.
 HtSe questions Have Der II Il ldloSu by the railroads and, by the roads through the United States chamber of commerce, solely to confuse and perplex the public mind and in an endeaVOr to prevent the American Feoplc from securing a clear perspec- tive of the social and economic signi- fcance of the establishment of a. shorter work day, for some 900 train employees.
 Railroad officials well know that the interstate commerce commission has no power to fix the rate of wages after an investigation of the subject and the Wn )le controversy would, ffter an yestigaton, be in the same condition as it is at the present moment
 Should, however, the interstate commerce commission recommend the granting of the demands of the employees, the commission would auto matically be held responsible for any increase in operating expenses re- sultng from the granting of the de- mands; therefore. would be compelled to assent to an increased freight rate which is perhaps the very thing that the railroads are trying to secure out of this controversy.
