DR.. Wheeler's 5 Address

There were more than two hun
dred farmers and towns people out
to hear DIR. HI. j. Wheeler, the soil
expert of Boston, Mass, at the
opera house last Monday night.
G. Z. Bigger was chairman of the
meeting and previous to intro
ducing the speaker made a fine
farm booster speech himself. DR..
Wheeler has spent many years as
instructor in agricultural colleges
and at experiment stations and his
address had more to do with the
scientific part of the subject than
with actual farming, but it was
valuable and listen to with close
attention. The object of his lee
lures is to encourage the use OF
commercial fertilizers with view
to increasing the crop yield. DR..
Wheeler was accompanied by his
assistant, E. W Cowan, and there
was also interested in the meeting
Jno. J. Hoglen, sales manager,
and A. M. Sherrick of the sales
force of the Empire Carbon Works
of St. Louis.

CrOss-State Highway Approved

seat highways shown by Col. Buff
fun, state highway commissioner,
at the meeting recently held in
Linneus, the Laclede.Linneus road
and the Laclede- Brookfield road
known as the cross state highway,
were in red indicating the full $15
per mile would be paid on those
roads, while the Laclede- Meadville
road was shown in yellow, indica-
ting that it was a connecting road
and would receive the dragging
fund to the extent the money avail
able would allow. As the state
automobile fund grows more roads
will be approved and it will be
only a few years until all the main
roads will receive the dragging
money.

A SUNDAY SHOOTING
VIM. Ausmus Put Four Revolver
Bullets Into A. G. GrOes

A serious shooting scrape took
place last Sunday morning when A.
&. GrOes was attacked by VIM.
Ausmus at the Groes home in the
west part of town.
For several months rumors have
been afoat that Ausmus was max
ing threats to kill Groes, charging
Groes had interfered with his do
mestic affairs. They live in the
same block and Sunday morning
the two men met in the alley near
their homes and had some words,
Ausmus finally telling Groes he
was going to kill him that day.
Groes went to his home and soon
saw Ausmus approaching armed
with a revolver. Taking his shot
gun Groes stepped out onto his
porch and commanded Ausmus,
who was approaching the door, to
stop. He did stop for second
but turned and again advanced
toward Groes who raised his gun
and snapped it but being set on
safety it failed to explode and then
Ausmus began shooting, the shot
taking effect in Groes' throat. The
men clinched and in the fight
Ausmus shot five times, four Of the
balls taking effect, two in Groes'
neck and two in the side and back
of his head. AS Groes lay on the
ground Ausmus kicked him as he
worked at reloading his revolver.
A neighbor woman ran in and
clinched Ausmus and preventing
him finishing the job he had
started, These are substantially
the facts as gathered by those who
investigated the matter.
Ausmus was placed under arrest
by Marshal Power and taken before
Justice Garside end released on a
$500 bond. AS the seriousness of
Groes injuries become known the
prosecuting attorney set the bond
aside and ordered Ausmus taken to
the county Jail. He remained in
jail until Tuesday when he was re-
leased on a $1,000 bond and prom
ise to keep the peace. The prelim-
mary hearing was set for Wednes-
day but was continued to Saturday.
April 20.
1t is thought that only two of
the balls found lodgment. the
other two being DETECTED or passed
out. Groes seems to be holding
his own with fair chance for re-
covery.

Get Your Moneys Worth"

Recently Miss Cassie Heath as
signed subjects to a number of her
pupils, and the following on "A
plea for every boy and every girl
to go to the high school," was
handed in by Chrystal Adams of
the Eighth Grade:
Education is the instruction and
discipline which is needed to cor
rect the temper, and form the
manners and habits of youth. To
educate children we'll is one Of the
most important duties of parents
and guardians. An immense re-
sponsibility rests on parents and
guardians who neglect this duty.
School work should be considered
by both parent and child as the
most important undertaking in the
chiId's life.
The object of the public school
is TO give every boy and girl an
opportunity to prepare themselves
fol future usefulness.
People who have a good educa-
ton haye a better advantage in
business, and in everything else,
than those who have little or none.
While the common high school
does not attempt to do the work of
a normal school in preparing
teachers, yet the subjects are
offered just as complete as the four
years in the average normal school.
1t is not nearly so expensive to
take the first four years in high
school and there is the advantage
of being near home.
Boys and girls, get your
moneys worth" Education is not
the preparation for life, but it is
life.
Parents, are you intending to
send your boy or girl to high
SCHOOL, If so, why? Have you
in view any occupation for which
you wish to train your childf
why yes," you say, Il want
my girl to become a dressmaker, a
nurse, or a schoolteacher or l want
my boy to become a doctor, a law
yer, or a merchant" Well if you
do why don't you send them to
high school! That is where they
will learn the desired occupation.
Education is good for every boy
and every girl.
Now, boys and girls, don't you
want your moneys WORTH Your
parents are paying for you TO go
to high school. Don't waste money
for it is too valuable. Get right
down to business and get a good
education.

NOW RECOMMENDS
TANLAC TO FRIENDS
Master Medicine Overcame
Stomach Trouble and Re-
stored His Strength.
EFFECTS QUICK CURE
|C. S. Potter Says He Sleeps Much
Better Now and Feel. Refreshed
in the Morning.

When one has suffered from any all
ment and eventually finds relief, it is only
human that the person should want to
tell other friends about the cure.
c. s. Potter of 1874 Main street. Roches-
ter. n. Y. suffered from indigestion and
general rundown condition but now.
since taking Tanlac, he sleeps much bet
ter and feels refreshed. In telling of his
case, Mr.. Potter said:
Il suffered from Indigestion for long
time and was in a rundown condition.
had a small appetite and what I ate
would form gas on my stomach i had
backaches and did not sleep well
I saw Tanlac advertised and thought
would try ii, and now after taking two
bottles find that my appetite is better ana
that neither the backsche nor the bloat.
ing Is as bad as 1t was. I now sleep
much better and feel refreshed in the
morning. ! want to recommend Tanlac
because I feel that it benefited me-"
Some of Tanlac's greatest triumphs
have been gained by building up run
down people. Lifting them from the con-
dition of Mr.. Potter before he took Tan
lac to the condition he attained after he
used it. To throw off pain, illness and
lethargy and to take on health, strength
and freshness is sufficient to make Mr
Potter and thousands of other people who
have had the same experience, grateful
for Tanlac
Tanlac is now sold and explained daily
by Mr.. Singerman. the Tanlac man, at
the Peoples Drug Store: every day at
Seventh and E streets northwest. and
every evening at Fourteenth and L
streets northwest Mr. Singerman will
be glad to explain how to take Tanlac
and what results TO expect from its use
Tanlac may also be obtained at all the
other Peoples Drug Stores at Seventh
and X streets northwest and llSo
