RANSOM M. MYERS
An Appreciation

Il. M. Myers moved to Chesterfield
from the western part of this County
number of years ago and in his
adopted town he soon won recogni-
tion as man of sterling worth. He
has served in an acceptable manner
as Town Warden, and as Town Clerk
filled it's duties better, perhaps, than
any other who ever held this difficult
position. Bunk" was man who
despised sham and hypocracy and he
was ever clear spokesman for Law
and Order and good government
controlled by an intelligent citizen
ship. No one ever was in doubt as
to how he stood on any public or po-
litical question for he was not afraid
to champion that which was right.
He had heart that was full of
love for his fcllow-man and always
would bring gladness to others, rem
dering some service to those in need.
For his family his brave heart over
flowed with love and his highest am
bton was to to educate his children.
His untimcly passing will leave void
not only for his loved ones but for all
who knew him.
After many weary months of suf-
fering he crossed the river and into
the undiscovered country his soul
winged its way. Without a murmur
or thought Of protest, with cheerful
spirit, with undaunted courage,
throughout the hopelcssness of the
hospital, he accepted the inevitable
with a calmncSs that only a great
heart could have and died with his
face toward God, gentleman
unafraid.

RUSSIAN DISORDER =
MUCH EXAGGERATED

Chicago, Aug 7.-Elihu Root, with
other member of the American mis-
sion to Russia while in Chicago, said
that as a matter Of fact there is
scarcely more disorder in Russia than
there is in the United States.
Certain disturbances are newt
able in change of government so
radical as that of Russia" said Mr..
Root, "and cable dispatches deal
argely with these disturbances. Hence
the public has gained an impression
that there is little going on in Russia
except demonstrations. If reports
on American affairs disseminated in
Russia concerned our own race riots.
the l. w. w. and the likc-Russia
would have about the same picture of
us that we now have of them.
81 have faith in the Russian minis
try and in the Russian future as an
important element in the aims of the
allies. Russian women are doing a
wonderful work in shaming the mon
INTO fighting and where necessary I
hope American women vii! follow
their example"

SHEEP VS.. DOGS

There are fewer sheep in the State
than ever before since the Civil War.
I'VE have snapped sheep for dogs"
IS the way Tom Broom expresses it
Good grades of wool are now worth
80 cents pound on the market while
lambs have been sold this year as
hIgh IS II cents pound live weight
Kermit Rushing, 9-ycar-old boy of G..
=. Rushing, Of Lanes Creek, has dem
onstratcd that pet sheep are more
profitable that pet dogs. One of l..
T.. MarSh's ewes gave birth to twin
lambs and disowned one Of them
Kermit took the disowncd lamb ot
"nc-day old; raised it as a pct with a
bottle. This year it gave birth to twin
lambs which Kermit sold for Sl3.9O.
and he sold the wool from the mother
of these lambs for $3.l5. making n
total income this year from his pct
lamb Of Sl7.O5, and he still owns the
pet. This ninc-year-old boys expc-
ricncc ought to be sufficient to cause
other boys to dispose Of pet dogs, if
ihcy have them and get pet lambs. In
cIdcntly it might be remarked here
that if Congress will get up enough
nerve to place a $5 war tax on dogs
1t will tend to help the sheep indus
~ wonderfully. But if congressman
IRE as big political towards as the
ncmbcrs Of our State legislatures
1ave been there will be no war tax
placed on dogs. Marshville Home

CHESTERFIELD is TO HAVE
A MODERN SWIMMING POOL

d. Waterworks or no waterworks Ches-
terfield is to have a swimming pool.
This much is decided and work has
already begun.
First credit goes to Mr. r. P. Craig,
who, always ready to help any enter
prise that will benefit the town, con-
tributed the land necessary for the
site, adjacent to spring from which
water will be secured. Mr.. Craig was
also one of thhe first to subscribe for
membership, the dues of which are
$1,000.
Nearly fifty members have already
subscribed and sufficient funds are in
sight to construct a commodious pool
of concrete and erect sufficient bath
houses.
