STRIKES CADDY IN
EYE; SIGHT GONE

In an accident on the Country
club golf links yesterday afternoon

struck in the eve with a golf ball. The
eye is probably lost. j. q. Collins
with some other players, was just
starting around the course when he
topped his ball, sent it over the bunk
ers and struck young Johnston
squarely in the eye, bursting the eye
ball.
Ruben has been caddy at the club
for some time and was shagging balls
for some of the players who were
practicing. He was stopped behind
the bunker when the ball hit him. He
was hurried TO a local hospital where
he is awaiting an operation.
Johnston is only 16 years old and
lives at 23 Morse apartments. The
lad was plucky and considering the
misfortune enthusiastically he said that
he was blind and that he would rather
have lost a limb than the sight of his
eye, but he guessed that 1t couldn't
be helped now"

ing on the links at the time. did his
best for the youth and sent him to

HOUSTON APPEALS
TO HOUSEWIVES
By Practice of Thrift They
Can Serve Country Best,
Secretary Says.

WASHINGTON. May Sin an ap-
peal today Ito the women OF the coun-
try" Secretary Houston declares that
they can do their bit most effectually
in the national emergency by practic-
Ing thrift in their households The
appeal was prompted by many re-
quests for a statement az to the serv-
ice women can render the nation in
the direction of producing and con
serving agricultural products.
Every woman can render inde-
pendent service to the nation in It's
present emergency" says the appeal.
She need not leave her home or
abandon her home duties to help the
armed forces. She can help to feed
and clothe our armies and help to
supply food to those beyond the seas
by practicing effective thrift in her
own household.
Every Ounce Counts.
Every ounce of food the house wife
saves from being wasted in her home
all food which she or her children
produce in the garden and can or pre-
serve, every garment which care or
skillful repair make 1t unnecessary tn
replace, all lessen the household 5
draft on the already insufficient world
supplies.
ITO save food the housewife must
learn to plan economical and pro-
perly balanced meals which, while
nourishing each member of the family
properly do not encourage overeatine
or offer excessive or wasteful variety
1t Is her duty to use all effective
methods to protect food from spoilago
BY heat. dirt. mice or insects. She
must acquire the culinary ability to
utilize every bit of edible food that
comes into her home.
Economize In Clothes, Too.
Whenever useful garment Is
needlessly discarded, material needed
to keep some one warm or dry may be
consumed merely 20 crafty n passing
fancy. Women would do well to look
upon clothing at this timo more par
ticularly from the utilitarian point of
view.
while all honor Is due to the wom-
en-. who leave their homes to nurse and
care for those wounded in battle. no
woman should feel that because she
does not wear nurses uniform she
is absolved from patriotic duty. The
women of the country If they will
give their minds fully to this vital
subject OF food conservation and train
themselves in household thrift can
make of the housewives apron a uni,
form of national significance.
Demonstrate thrift in your homes
and encourage thrift among your
neighborS.
Make saving rather than spending
your social standard.
Make economy fashionable lest il
become obligatory

SPANIEL GUILTY.
5-YEAR SENTENCE
Defendant Breaks Down When
Jury Convicts Him of Muir
dering Colonel Butler.

COLEMAN. Texas, May 5.--A YER
dict of guilty of murder was returned
at S:25 o'clock tonight by the jury in
the case of Harry j. Spaniel, charged
with the killing OF Lieut. Col. NJ c.
Butler, and punishment was fixed at
five years imprisonment
SPANIEL all but collapsed when the
verdict was read. Counsel for the de-
fense announced n motion for n new
trial would be filed Immediately and
if it were not granted, an appeal would
be taken. The plea for reversal they
said, would be based specifically upon
the refusal of the court to sustain de-
fense's plea of former acquittal."
Acquitted of Killing Wife.
Spaniel was indicted at Alpine,
Texas. for the alleged killing of his
wife and Lieut.. Col. NJ. c. Butler, on
the night of July 10, 1916. The charge
of killing his wife, Mrs. Crystal Hol-
land Spaniel, was tried at San Angelo
last February on a change of venue.
Spaniel was acquitted and the case
against him for killing Butler was
brought to Coleman county. The trial
began Monday, April 23.
Testfying in his own behalf Span
ell virtually repeated his testimony
given at San Angelo last February
Butler. he said had showed undue at
tentions to Mrs, Spaniel, despite sew
eral warnings and promises TO cease
these attentions
Claimed Wife Was Insultcd.
On the evening of the double shoot
ing, Spaniel testified, Butler had in
suited Mrs. Spaniel in an unstairs
room of the Holland hotel at Alpine.
He invited Butler into an automobile
with himself and wife, and after
driving "a short distance, demanded an
explanation of Buffers alleged actions.
In the ensuing alteration several
shots were fired by both Butler and
Spaniel. The shot that killed his wife
Spaniel declared, had been fired by
Butler.
Spaniel did not deny that he fired
shots at Butler nor that some Of these
shots killed the army officer, but he
fired, he said, in self protection, But
Ter being the aggrcssor.
More than two hundred witnesses
were examined during the present
trial during the early periods of
which the defense entered a plea of
former acquittal,' because of span
ellis acquittal of the killing of his
wife. Presiding Judge Woodward
overruled this plea.
