Remember that.
Just at present the fathers drown
many of their girl babies, and yet
they number four hundred millions.
How many will they number when
they take care of human life, when,
led perhaps by intelligent Japanese,
they save those girl babies that they
have been drowning for centuries and
use them to breed soldiers?

they are determined to get land and

TWO ACTIONS ARE
ABOUT MORTGAGE

Traer, April 27.-Trial of law suit
in the district court here, promises to
be one of the most interesting Of its
nature ever tried in this county.
Fort twenty years or more, Thomas
Beggs lived with Mr.. and Mrs. Carl
ton, old settlers, taking care Of them
as well as looking after the stock on
their farm.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Carlton died
about year ago.
Mrs. Carlton, in whose name the
little farm of twenty-six acres. was
held, gave Beggs note and mortgage
for $4,000 for services which he rem
dered as farm hand.
Upon the death of Mr.. and Mrs.
Carlton, Beggs continued in possession
of the little farm, and proceeded to
farm it as his own. He took no steps
to foreclose the mortgage which he
had held for SO many years.
Some months ago. the Carlton child
rem commenced suit against Beggs
for possession Of the farm.
Beggs Immediately commenced an
action to foreclose the mortgage Both
cases will be tried at the same time.

USE FOUR ROPES TO
TIE DOWN STURGEON

McGregor, April 20. -Four big ropes
were required to tie down a huge
sturgeon caught in the Mississippi and
brought here last week. The fish, q
female, measured just tribe short OF
six feet in length.
Surgeons grow very slowly and
have been known to live 100 years. 1t
is estimated the one brought ashore
here was at least seventy-f1ve years
old. A female sturgeon lays sometimes
as high az 10000 eggs season go
this one must have had progeny
more numerous than any other living
thing. ~
Charles and Emil Kurtz, brothers
and local fishermen, ensnared the huge
sturgeon in trammel net which they
had drifted down the main channel OF
the river past Picture Rocks. They had
a great battle with the fish and after
bringing it ashore tied it with four
ropes to the rocks and left 1t in shall
low water for day until 1t had
threshed out ito strength and could be
safely handled.
The Ash weighed 1875 pounds and on
dressing yielded nineteen pounds OF
eggs. The eggs brought 81 pound,
and the dressed fish 1925, the two
fishermen receiving $25.25 for their

MRS. NJ ELDERLY IS
AWARDED $1,000
FAIRFIELD WOMAN SUES FOR
5000; HUSBAND DIED
OF INJURIES.

Fairfield, April ,27-The NcElderry
VS.. Stever damage case which has at
tracted more than usual attention in
Fairfield since it's fling over year
ago was closed Wednesday when q
jury brought in verdict in favor OF
the plaintiff for $1,000.
/ The trial lasted a little over. q week
and was one of the most sensational
cases which has been tried In the JEFF
ferson county courts for some years.
About fifty witnesses many of whom
were expert witnesses were called and
/ the attorneys fought inch by inch it
seemed. ~
The case grew out Of an accident
which occurred about two years ago
when Mr.. and Mrs. John r. McElderry
both elderly people were driving a
horse on the public highway west Of
Fairfield when the horse it is alleged,
became frightened at some sheep in
the road, belonging to John B. Steever.
., The horse SHE'D and both Mr.. and
I Mrs. McElderry were thrown from the
buggy, Mr.. McElderry sustaining in
juries which later caused his death.
/ Mrs. McElderry in behalf Of the
estate was suing Mr.. Stever for $4,000
damages. The case was given to the
jury Tuesday morning at II o'clock
and it was exactly twenty-four hours
before they signified their agreement.
Wednesday morning at the opening
of court Judge Vermilion called in the
members Of the jury and gave them ad-
dtional instructions.
The members Of the jury were: :,
Peter Johnson, foreman; Frank o.
Schultz, Charles Bekel, Noble l.
Kiger, Frank Massey, Frank Basham,
J. w. Oliver, e. B. Bowman, L. N.
Smith, Joseph Wilson. F. w. Peebler,

After a jury was drawn on Wednes-
day morning for the trial of the case
Of Mrs. Rachel Goodwin vs.. the city
of Fairfield for damages, the case was
settled by the city granting Mrs. Good.
win the sum of $1,000.
Mrs. Goodwin fell on the icy side
walk near the Gilbert feed yard Jan.
8, 1915, and fractured her hip and
therefore sued the city for $4,000 dam
ages The case has been continued
from term to term by the court until
the present time. Mrs Goodwin is
still hardly able to get around alone.

NEW LOW RATES
ON WEDDING FEE
YOUNG MAN WRITES TO CLERK
OF COURT AND ASKS FOR
CUT PRICES.

TT. Madison, April 27-Wanted-
best rates on marriage licenses and
the lowest prices on officiating at we'd
dings from ministers or justices. Also
wish advice on hotel rates. Lowest
bidders will be given preference.
County Clerk O. r. Johnson ripped
open an unimposing envelope ad-
dressed in q scrawled hand the other
contained proved that missive had
been penned under extremely nervous
conditions. Possibly the writer was
afflicted with the seasonable attack of
love sickness, bethought the on cial,
and the letter bore out his beliefs.
It proved to be communication
from resident Of Keokuk who first
advised the clerk that he was contem-
plating matrimony. He also explained
that he was attempting the step with
economy in view He was seeking
bargain rates In the acquiring Of a
wife, the letter inferred.
He required the lowest price on a
marriage license. He also wanted to
know just how much the IT. Madison
ministers or Justices would take for
tying the knot. He also stated that
he might wish to put up at local
hotel and requested rates from those
institutions. Altogether 1t was mat
ter of business with him.
In answer the clerk stated that the
regular price of marriage license
was 800. Much as he would like to
mark 1t down to SO cents, the clerk
could not possibly do it. He also
gave him some valuable information
on hotel rates and marriage fees. 1t
appears as If bargain hunting Is not
altogether confined to the female
species of the race.

unidentified man was found lying be-
side an abandoned camp fire two miles

sideraton 1t should. The principal diff
Guilty here encountered Is that 1t is not
so evident what constitutes right
thinkingin this direction. In music art,
mathematics. etc, 1t Is understood that
right thinking means true thinking.
Thinking OF discords, imperfections and
mistakes will not help one to express
harmony; on the contrary 1t will prove
an insurmountable barrier to success.
In matters pertaining to health. too
much attention is given to things that
are to be feared, and too little consider
alton to the things that are desired.
Much of the education along this line,
consists In warning people Of the dam
gers lurking on every hand. The re-
suit Is that mental pictures of disease
and suffering are ever present In con.
seriousness, and the fear resulting there
from is not readily overcome.
Why should the effort to preserve or
to restore health be made along such
different lines from those that insure
success in other directions? Surely the
intellgently directed effort which at
tains the desired result In other cases,
would prove just as effectual here. The
thought of inharmony must be elimin-
ated Thinking about disease and suf-
fering is not right thinking, and II this
wrong practice Is INDUCED in 1t Is not
reasonable to expect harmonious bod
lily conditions to result.
All inharmony Is the result Of wrong
thinking and the only effecual remedy
is right thinking; hence the necessity OF
entertaining only those thoughts that
are true, honest, Just. pure. lovely, and
of good report, IL ono thinks right. he
will do right, for activity is thought ex-
pressed. Living in obedience to divine
law as the result OF faithful, consistent
application of inspired teachings, 1t is
possible to gain the understanding OF
God as one who forgiveth all thine In
EQUITIES; who healeth all thy diseases.
