Daniel H. Martin. DR.. Martin is the
pastor of the Fort Washington Pres
byterian Church, a few blocks from
the Tabernacle. and at 4 meeting he
announced that he considered it a
splendid idea to throw the church open
at night for those who sought in vain
to get into the nearby Tabernacle.
DR.. Martin. after hearing the sug-
gestion highly approved, asked that a
suitable sign be agreed upon which
make it clear that those disappointed
at the Tabernacle might find religious
haven within. He went about his work
and in half an hour came back to find
all unanimously nj favor of this:

WHEAT CROP GOOD
FARMERS DECLARE
Cool Weeks Have Revived Fields
That Seemed TO Have
Been Ruined.

Southeast Missouri wheat, instead of
being failure, as has been predicted,
will surpass last years yield, accord
ing to farmers in this section of the
State.
Fields that appeared to be dead five
weeks ago have been revived by the
cool weather, and are now near matur-
ity. In the northern part of this coun-
ty, there are some fields which are be-
low normal, but the county's yield,
farmers say, will surpass last years
crop.
Louis Dohogne, who lives near Kel-
so, said yesterday that he had a field
Of forty acres which will average
about thirty bushels to the acre, which
is far above an average crop.

was ready to plow this wheat up and
plant corn or oats, but / decided to
experiment with it. Many farmers liv-
ing near me plowed up fields of wheat
and planted oats. They now regret
their hasty action.
"From what 1 can learn, we are
going to exceed expectations. The yield
in Scott County is going to be far
above last year, and l believe it will
be all over the country. I have never
seen wheat develop as it has during
the past month. The cool weather alb
solutely saved the crop. Had the
weather turned off hot and dry thirty
days ago, the wheat crop in Southeast
Missouri would have been an absolute
failure, but farmers are elated over the
prospects.
"We have now had sufficient rain to
insure the crop. Hailstorms, of course,
would injure wheat at this stage, but
the indications are that We will harvest
a good crop. Corn and oats are look
ing well. Somt hot weather is needed
now for the corn, but the cool days
have not injured it as yet. If the re-
mainder of the season is no worse than
spring has been, American farmers

morning. Death was caused from tu-
bercular meningitis with which she
had been confined to her bed for six
weeks.
Mrs. Mister was 45 years old and
is survived by her husband, mother
and five children, four boys and one
girl, ranging in age from 10 to 20
years.
The body will be taken to Brazeau,
Perry County, this morning for burial.

PROPOSE CROP INCREASE
BY NARROWING ROADS

Portland, Ore, May 0.-In order to
cut down the amount of waste land
and increase the crop acreage, the citi-
zens of Umatilla County, in Eastern
Oregon, propose to narrow the roads
of the county and thus add 1900 acres
of wheat land, capable of producing
enough grain to meet the needs of
every one in the county itself.
1t is figured that with an average
yield of 25 bushels to the acre the
land would produce 1S7,500 bushels.
The population of Umatilla County is
about $4,000 and the amount of grain
added to the yield by the proposed
plan will just about feed the county's
people so far as cereals are concerned.

side Two Children.

Mrs. Annie Henderson, the wife of
the well-known Jackson physician, DR..
r. T. Henderson, died at her home
yesterday noon after an illness of sew
eral weeks, due principally to old age
and heart failure. Her demise was
not unexpected, as she had been in a
very weak condition for the past week.
The funeral will be held this after
noon. A short service will be held at
the residence at 1 o'clock. whereupon
the cortege will leave for the Apple
Creek Church, where Rev. Lynn Ross,
Pastor of the Jackson Presbyterian
Church will officiate at the main serv-
ices. The body will be inferred in the
cemetery near the church beside her
two children who died years ago.
Mrs. Henderson was born Oct. 16,
1886, at Zaynesville, O. A few years
after her birth the parents moved to
Cincinnati, where they remained. 1t
was during the earlier days of the
Civil War that she made the acquaint-
ance of the young physician who later
became her husband.
After their marriage the young cou-
pie moved to Perryville, the home of
DR.. Henderson. Two children were
bern to the couple while they lived at |
the latter town. One died in infancy, |
while the second child passed away |
when only eight years old.
Twenty-six years ago the physician
and his wife took up their home in
Jackson. Despite his ripe age, he is
still active and makes daily visits to
his many patients.
In 1914 DIR. and Mrs Henderson
celebrated their golden wedding ami
versary, which was great event, at |
tended by many friends from Jack
son and all parts of the county.
Mrs. Henderson is one of eleven
of whom Mrs Nellie Gravett
IF Wooster, O.. is the only one surviv-
ing. She has been visiting her sister
Sor the past six weeks.
