How to Plan a Picnic.

A picnic, whether it be large or small,
ought to have manager, who will see
that provision is made for the neccs-
saries of the excursion, and not leave
them to chance.
A party of young people may go out
for a picnic, and, if no plans have been
discussed, are liable to find their baskets
well supplied with cake, doughnuts, and
perhaps pie, but with little of the SUBJ
stantial food.
In the first place, select, if possible,
grounds which are somewhat near a
dwellinghouse, as many things, such as
water, milk, ice, dishes and cooking uten-
sils may be obtained there, and thus
save the necessity of carrying them.
Arrange for this beforehand, by letter
or interview, so that you may be certain

1T is SOME MONEY
Would Take Over Thirteen Thousand
Years to Spend IL at a Dollar
Minute.

Americas war loan of $1,000, 200, 900
grasp. Spent at the rate of 81 a
minute 1t would take 1898 years to
dispose OF the appropriation. Loaned
at per cent, 313 could be spent ev-
cry second for an indefinite period
without touching the principal
Converted into silver dollars, the
coined pieces laid end to end would
reach more than four times around
the earth at the equator. Piled on
top of one another these silver dollars
would extend nearly 900 miles in the
air. Made into dollar bills they would
cover 2e,6s6 acres.
The interest on the loan is greater
than the entire running expenses Of
the government less than half a CEN
tury ago, while the amount itself
would conduct the affairs of the gov
ernment for fully seven years, on the
basis of the annual expenditures of
the last decade.
Another and more cheerful way OF
looking at the situation is that great
as the loan is, the wealth of the Unit
ed States is such that it amounts TO
the lending out Of 81 out Of every $40
OF our existing tangible resources A
penny a day saved by every inhabitant
would cancel the principal within 20
years.

who was his sccomplice in the crime
and who is now out on bond to await
trial for the deed.
Told OF the killing
Wineinger told his hearers that on
Thursday night he came up from
Kansas City and going to a telephone
booth called Goods home. The tele-
phone was answered by Mrs. Goold
and in a disguised voice wineinger
says he asked for Goold and Mrs
Goold at his request sent her husband
with a car to Eleventh and Mitchell
avenue to take a passenger to DeKalb,
When Goold drove up to the curb
Wineinger got into the back seat d.
rectly behind his unsuspecting victim
and they drove off down the King
Hill road. Goold had no suspicion
OF the identity OF his fare. When
they reached the spot where the mur-
der occurred, without warning Wine
niger struck Goold a terrible blow in
the back OF the head with a hammer.
Goold fell from the vehicle, but got
to his feet and started to run for a
hedge fence at the side Of the road.
Wineinger followed him and shot him
twice in the breast, killing him. He
then got into Goods car and drove
to a point two miles away, where he
left the car and going to the interur-
ban station boarded a car for Kansas
City where he was later arrested.
Wineinger gave no indication whatso-
ever Of any remorse for the deed.

Tomato growers in Stone county are
still suffering from the shock. but the
fact remains that the Nelson cannery
at Crane has announced a "melon
cutting" for November !, and has de-
clared the growers in on the benefits
The growers contracted to sell their
1917 crop at fifty cents a hundred
pounds, and delivered at that price.
The rising market for canned goods
made IT possible for the Gamers to
sell at a substanti advance over the
prices quoted when the contracts
were made, and so 1t is announced
that an extra ten cents hundred
pounds has been set aside from the
annual profits and will be handed to
the growers. About $4,000 will be
distributed among the growers.
