DON'T BE AVERAGE" MAN

Young people must make them selves efficient and handle their earn ings properly during their productive years if they are to escape the com. mon lot of being dependent in old age.
 The life insurance companies have compiled figures which abundantly de- monstrate these facts. Give sober consideration to this digest of life ex- periences of one hundred average men: At the age of siXty-five the re- cord of these men are as follows; thir- ty-tive are dead, one rich, four veal thy, six are self supporting but are compelled to work for a living, fifty four, or over half the number are de- pendent on children, relatives, or charity This is a sad state of affairs and only can be remedied by getting the proper kind of business training in youth.
 The average educated man gets a salary of $1 300 a year. He works forty years, making a total of S60,000 in life time. The average day lab orer gets $2.25 per day, three hundred days in the year, or $670 year. In

 TALLY THE BUSINESS MEN

Thursday at ? o'clock p. m at the court house in Prescott. Rev. J. F.. Congdon and Senator J. S. Utley will address the citizens of Nevada County. They will tell us something about the war which it is worth our while to hear. We have invited the leading citizens of all parts of the country to come to this meeting.

Use your telephone and call your friends in the country and invite them to be your guests and have them to tell others of this meeting. The South must do her full share and if we fail to march in one solid phalanx back of the boys who have gone to the front, we are not doing our duty. If we should give all of our time and money and effort, we would still not be giving what some are giving. None of these things are worth as much as life, peace and liberty. There is no question, no busi- ness and no interest now of more inn portance than serving our country in whatever capacity we are called.

MRS. ADAMS GOES
To STATE ASYLUM

MACON, Ca, August 11.-Mrs. II. c.
Adams, slayer of Capt. E. j. Spratling.
is to be sent to the insane asylum at
Milledgeville. She was adjudged in
tame in the ordinary's court at At
lanta yesterday, and will be sent at
once to the state sanitarium.
The hearing before the ordinary,
which will result in Mrs. Adams in
generation, grew out of writ issued
at the instance of her husband H. c..
Adams, some two weeks ago, just at
ter Mrs. Adams returned to Atlanta
after being compelled to leave the
Tabernacle Rescue Home for contin-
ued infractions of the rules of the in
stitution and general INSTRUMENTATION.
She managed to make peace bond of
$500 pending the hearing yesterday.
1t was little more than year ago
that Mrs. Adams appeared at Camp
Harris, approached Capt. Spratling,
commander of Company F, Fifth In
fantry regiment, and shot him dead as
he sat eating his midday meal. Ar.
rested by the military and turned over
to the civil authorities, she spent the
time between the killing and her trial
last May in Jail here.
Arraigned for the murder, she told
story of being insulted and betrayed by
Capt Spratling, practicing physician
in civil life, whom she claimed treated
her so shamefully that the matter
preyed on her mind until she was
forced to kill him. Considerable sur
prise was felt when she was acquitted.
She spent some time here in the Tab
ernacle Rescue Home Immediately al
ter the trial and then returned to At
lanta 1t was only short time after
this that her husband sued her for di-
vorce, setting out that she was afraid
t. live with her.
Some two months ago, she again ap~
peared at the Tabernacle Rescue Home
here and asked for admission. This
was Granted, but two weeks ago, the
of the institution refused
to house her longer, as she was insu-
coordinate and unmanageable. She re-
turned to Atlanta.
Almost Immediately her husband OBJ
tanned a write of lunacy against her
and as result, she goes now to the
state sanitarium adjudged insane by
properly constituted authority.

FARM and STOCK.

"A flock of sheep on every farm,
If properly handled, would add to
the profits from that farm in the
majority of cases. Prices for sheep
and wool at the present time are at
an unprecedented level, and contin-
ued high prices seem to be indicated.
Jack Blanton attributes the de-
feat of Monroe county's prize mule
colt in the $500 ring at the Column
bia Fair to the fact that his mule
ship was drunk. In order to give
the colt little"pep" for the ring
he was dosed on booze. The result
was "jag" that lost the prize.
1t didn't seem such a bargain last
spring when an investor picked up
forty acres of Greene county farm
lend that had been on the market
for some time. The land had been
sowed to wheat and when it was
marketed the 1917 crop brot Just
$105 more than the purchase price
of the land.

would bear from six to nine ears of

be swindled but the corn is more Wig

ears to the stalk while others run
from four to seven.

1t is a fine thing to guard our

destroy the cherished ideals, the
lofty standards, the clear views that
have given the home its character.
If you will familiarize your young

fluence in awakening taste for

MRS. ELIZABETH POOR.

IOOIs
Formerly Lived Near Centralia And
Then Northeast OF Mexico Many
Years.
The Message takes the following
from the Moberly Democrat:
Mrs. Elizabeth Poor died at 5:45
o'clock this morning. She was "a
years old the 30th of October. The
surviving relatives are one son, Ed,
Poor, of this city; six daughters,
Mrs. Clay Shumate and Miss Mayme
Poor, of this city; Mrs. c. A. Har-
rington, Kansas City; Mrs. Charles
Heilig, Chicago; Mrs E. L. Beal, of
Broken Bow, Neb., and Mrs. Waller
Nall, Lafayette, Ind, and fourteen
grandchildren.
Mrs. Poor was fine Christian
lady, a devoted mother and a kind
friend. She was one of Moberly's
pioneer citizens, and her death af-
ter an illness of only four days will
be sad news indeed to her many
friends.
Mrs. Poor was married to Levi
Poor in Illinois in 1861. Moved to
Missouri two years later. Settled
near Centralia. Moved to the old
home in Audrain county, on West
Lick Creek, northeast of Mexico and
northwest of Laddonia, in 1878.
