Statement From Councilman Ballew.

Statement From Councilman Ballew.
To set myself right before the peo-
pie ! desire to make the following
statement:
made a motion before the Council
on Monday night December 9th,
that the police force be instructed 10
enforce sections 81, 60 and Go Of the
Revised Ordinances Of the City Of
Mexico, Missouri.
had a talk with the mayor about
bringing it before the council. He
was glad that ! was going to bring it
up and told me that it ought to be
done, when ! did so, he asked what
recommendation | had to offer than
the motion and when made did not
object and put motion to a vote.
! never at no time said or even
thought about the record that the chief
Of police keeps. I know nothing about
it as ! have never seen same neither
have / seer it to this day.
The purpose of my motion was to
prohibit any person from releasing
any prisoner from the City Jail be-
fore he or she had been brought be-
fore the proper official or officials.
Section 61,-Provides that when an
arrest has been made by the marshall
or policeman he or she shall immed-
lately be taken before the police
Judge or other proper officials to be
dealt with according TO the laws of
Missouri or the ordinances of this
City unless it is in the night time or
the person is intoxicated or otherwise
united to appear in court, then the
officer making the arrest must convey
the person to the City calaboose or
other designated place of detention,
there to remain till the following day.
or until he or she become sober or in
q proper condition to appear in court,
when they shall be brought before the
police judge as aforesaid.
Section 62.-Provides that the
Marshall shall be exoiicio keeper of
the city calaboose, and shall be res
ponsible on his official bond for its
proper management. He shall cause
TO be kept an accurate record or reg.
ister of all persons imprisoned there
in, by whom committed, for what Of
Tense, when committed, when and by
what authority discharged. and the
costs of maintaining each person 80
detained therein. He shall see that
all prisoners confined in the calaboose
are supplied with a sufficient quan-
tity OF wholesome food and water.
and that the female prisoners are at
all times kept in apartments separate
and apart from male prisoners.
Section 63.-Provides that, No per-
son arrested by the marshall or any
Policeman Of this City, for a violation
Of any ordinance of the City shall be
discharged by such officer, without
an order Of the police Judge first had
and obtained.
Whenever the above ordinances a
long with all the other ordinances NJ
the City of Mexico, Missouri are en-.
forced or repealed ! as an officer Of
the City and as an individual will bo
satisfied that my duty as an officer
and as an individual has been fulfilled
IN accordance with my oath to Inc
City as an officer and my conscience
as an individual will be at ease.
Yours truly,
]. H. Ballew.
Councilman Second Ward.

his question has been explained
% often BY The Gazette that those
who have Rad ii should have these
Distinctions in SAOrthorn bIoOdlines
vel in mind. A scotch Shorthorn is
one that was bred in Scotland or pro
dueed IN this couEtTy from ancestry
that IN all crosses Of the pedigree
desoends from shorthons bred BY
Scotch breeders. ShOrthons import
I'd from a herd In Scotland are called
Scotch. and by many are called pure
Scotch because they we're bred IN
Scotland although the animals may
have 4 considerable portion Of Bates
hlood in the top crosses. Hence the
term pure Scotch is sometimes mis-
leading. Shorthorns that do not con-
form to this definition are not Scotch,
and they may be Of bates breeding in
all crsses or Of Scotch blood on a
Bates or mixed foundation. This kind
Of breeding is called "Scotch-tOpped."
The first cross Of a Scotch bull on a
Shorthorn COW Of other bloodlines
makes the produce so per cent
Scotch, the second cross Is per cent,
the third STA per cent and the sixth
9S.43 per cent There are thousands
Of Shorthorns in the United States
that have 6 or more crosses of Scotch
bulls on a foundation of other blood
lines, and these are called Scotch-top-
ped. though an animal with less
Scotch blood is called pure" Scotch
because it was bred in Scotland.
Amos Cruickshank, whose thick,
meaty cattle made Scotch ShOrthorns
popular, used Bates-bred cattle or
any other good ones to improve his
herd, and the leading Scotch breeders
of today do not hesitate to use the
same blood if they think 1t will i'm
prove their cattle. The breeders Of
the United States, however, are ham,
pered in their choice Of herd bulls by
the notion which they themselves have
created that only 4pure" Scotch must
be used. Scotch blood has made a
great improvement In Shorthorns but
so did Bates blood and the combin-
alton Of the two strains has produced
many cattle Of outstanding merit.
Both Whitehall Sultan and Choice
generally regarded as all Scotch,
had Bates blood near the top Of their
Tedigrees. They were the greatest
Shorthorn sires Of modern timess-B.

Dress Reform Taken up in University

Dress Reform Taken up in University
Columbia, Mo, Dec. 23.-The stand
ardization of women's dress, in an
effort to avoid extremes Of fashion, is
being undertaken by the department
Of home economics Of the School Of
Agriculture Of the University Of Mis-
souri,.
A bulletin issued by the university
says the plan contemplates the stand
ardization of the entire wardrobe, but
thus far only the dress has been de.
signed.
The dress is characterized as 'hy-
gienic and comfortable, permitting
full freedom Of motion at work or at
play" and without trimming or ex-
ccssive material. Here is a descrip-
ton:
"The skirt is made in four pieces
with a seam at the back, and opens
in the front. This allows for ample
width, 2h to 3 yards. depending on
the size Of the person.
1T is simple to make because only
n seam needs staying, and in order
that it be made perfectly hygienic
and comfortable when worn without a
corset, it is suspended from the shoul-
ders by means of an underwaist made
Of some thin material.
''The waist is a blouse falling down
over the hips and held in slightly at
the waist by a loose belt.
"The fullness can either be fixed
into a belt, the lower part being in
the form Of a peplum, or it may be
held in loosely, as in a Norfolk
blouse"

As Independence was "wet" In 1914
and ~dry" in 1915. the local option

British headquarters, Dee 2s-
one Of he most interesting Of The
zubsidiary establishments Of The
French sheep dogs which are being
employed in ambulance and r@sseI
work. Only about twenty-five Of these
dogs IN all have been used up TO date
but their value Is - generally reeog-
nired that the following particulars,
with which | have been supplied BY The
courtesy Of the French authorities,
RAY possibly be Of use to breeders at
home.
These sheep dogs are Of FIVE differ
ent breeds-Malinois. Gronendael. Bar
Rouge. Briare and Berger Allemand,
Of which the last named is said to be
the least Intelligent The original
idea was that the dogs should be EN-
ployed only On ambulance work, but
ewing to their great intelligence it
was found possible TO use them for
taking back messages from advanced
parties 10 the rear.
The system Of training is said to
be rather complicated. and has to be
begun when the dogs are still very
young. The first thing, Of course, that
they have to learn is implicit cbed-
fence and after that it is a question of
training them not to fear g~unire, and
to bring back any article. When once
they are trained these dogs show them
selves absolutely fearless under the
heaviest fire, and so far from recoil-
ing from a shell burst they usually
rush forward and bark ~furiously at it.
In the circumstances therefore, their
casualty list Of five wounded may be
regarded as fairly light.
When employed on ambulance work
the dogs perform much the same
duties as those of st. Bernards. They
are sent out to scour the ground, and
when they have found a wounded
mar they bring back some article Of
his apparel. A doctor and two or
derlies are then detailed to the place
where the wounded man is lying.
The condition of trench warfare
which obtain along the major part of
the front make it impossible for the
dogs to do much real patrol work,
but a certain amount is being done
by them in a district where they live
in the dugouts with the men who are
in charge Of them. The animals are
said to become extraordinarily keen
and interested in their work and the
accuracy Of this statement may be
gagged by the following story Of
Fanfare, one Of the Bar Rouge
breed.
This dog was carrying a message
from the front line to the rear when
he was very badly hit in the fore leg
by shrapnel. AS soon as he had pull
ed himgnif togefher hp Iimned In ~
his destination in three legs and then
insisted upon returning to the front
patrol who had originally sent him
cut In the course of the evening
the plucky animal was sent to Paris,
where his wounds were dressed by a
specialist and he is now back again
at the front.
