100000 SUIT

MILES LOSES 100000 SUIT
AGAINST CHAMP. BUTCHER
]. Ogden Armour won the suit
against him by VIM. Miles, former
official of Armour & Co., when the
plaintiffs in the 100000 action asked
for a non-suit to prevent Judge Bren-
tano from taking the case from the
jury and throwing it out of court.
In fact, Brentano had already
started giving his decision, when
Miles attorneys after a short con-
ference broke in and asked that the
case be closed by nOn-sUit. This al
lows them the chance of suing again.
Mr.. Armour was not in court when
the decision came, but his battery of
five high-priced attorneys represent
ed him. They were led by Alfred
Urion, former member Of the school
board and one of the highest-salaried
attorneys in Chicago.
Attorneys for Miles declared last
night that they got a square deal, but
that their case did not stand up well.
Miles accused Armour of putting
one over on him when he got his EN-.
ploye to sell him a thousand shares
Of Armour stock for $40, 84S.50. Miles
claims this was worth about $780,
900 at the moment he sold it, but he
didn't know that until later.

SPRING DRAINING OF FIELDS
WILL PREVENT MUDDY ROADS

The bane of earth roads is water.
To wet the foundation, is to quickly
ruin the road. When the frost goes
out in the spring, the fields are allow
ed to drain into the roadway, regard
less of proper provision to take care
of the excess water. Road bitches are
usually of small capacity and often
become clogged so that excess water
backs up over the road and quickly
transforms it into bottomless mire.
Farmers should provide their own
bitches for drainage, inside their
fence lines, and carry them to points
Of natural outlets in order to save the
roads. Conditions frequently arise
where the use of pillow or a spade
for ten minutes would relieve a half
mile of road from the effects of back
water, and enable it to dry out for use
in two days Without this relief, it
will remain in bad condition for sew
eral weeks.
Let farmers, for their own protec-
ton, watch the drainage of the roads
past their farms. When roads are
looked upon as an evidence of shift
lessness on the part of the adjacent
farmers, we may look for a radical
improvement.

Keeping Books on the Farm.

Would you think of running a store
with a capital investment of $4,000
or more without keeping books and
knowing how much money you had
made or lost at the end of the year?
dare say you would consider a man
foolish to do such thing Yet, how
many farmers keep books on their
operations and know how the twelve
months period has treated them in a
detailed financial way? Very few,
indeed. Few farmers in st. Francois
county have less money invested in
their farms than their brother mer-
chants have invested in their stores,
and is it not just as important for the
farmer to keep some system of book
ing as the merchant? If you think
not, you are mistaken, for it has been
proven time and again by farmers
who have kept records.

THE PRESIDENTS COURSE

The President of the United States
has been always more OF less of a
world figure, and especially since
Roosevelt's blunt and practical meth
cd brought about an end of the war
between Russia and Japan. Presi-
dent Wilson has reached a higher
plane than any attained by any of his
predecessors, and the common sense
of the world will endorse his request
for some justification of the continued
fighting in Europe. He speaks not
only for this country and all neutral
countries, but for humanity, and he
asks that the warning nations shall
appear in the court of public opinion
and show cause, if any there be, why
they shall go on with the human
slaughter. This is real world leader
ship, and while some of the belliger-
ents are disposed to scott and sheer at
the President. his influence is making
itself felt and growing daily, and it
may be confidently expected that the
beginning of the end Of the war is
not far distant.-The Memphis Scim-
itar.

WOMAN PLUNGES FIVE STORIES

Mrs. Theresa Walsh, so years old,
4741 Kennerly avenue, was killed in
stantly yesterday in leap from a
fifth-story window of the City San
itarium, where she had been pa
tient for three months.
Mrs. Walsh was the wife of Pa
trolman Thomas Walsh of the Mount
ed District Station. She suffered a
nervous breakdown las summer and
attempted to set fire to herself. She
was placed in the State Hospital for
the Insane at Pennington, Mo-, and
later was brought back to St. Louis.
Mrs. Walsh had been employed in
the sewing room and was considered
an unusually mild patient she was
walking in the corridor on the fifth
floor with an attendant, Mrs. Eliza
beth Golish, about $3.50 o'clock.
AS they passed the room occupied
by the seamstress, the attention of
Mrs. Golish was attracted when an
other patient spoke to her. Mrs.
Walsh seized the opportunity to run
into the seamstress' room and slam
med the door, which was a spring
lock.
The windows of the room were not
barred, and Mrs. Walsh raised the
window and jumped before Mrs. Co
lish could unlock the door. She struck
the ground and practically every bone
in her body was broken. The body
was taken to the morgue.
