Washington-Dele to the fed
eral board of farm organizations, in
session here, authorized petition to
President Wilson to shut down all nom
essential industries. The resolution
said that there was serious shortage
of farm labor, and that the agricul
tural industry had been more serious
ly affected by the army draft than any
other. other resolutions set forth
that increased government price OF
wheat does not meet increased cost
of production.

SECOND.

Washington-Wa bills this
month are about $1,621,O00,00O,
nearly twice the $870,0OO,OOO
spent in August 1917. Thus the
war toll is now running about
$4,000, 900 a day, or about $500
every tick of the clock-a slight
increase over July. August figures
bring the total cost so far to
America of the war TO $15,700,-

State Fair Boosters

Five cars arrived about an
hour behind schedule on account
of rain at Sedalia the morning
of the start. They are loud in
their praise of what the fair is
going to be. Many new war
features, with war equipment,
relics of battles, and the flying
machine show will be simply
great. Music features will be
as good as can be secured. 20
acres of farm machinery. A
stock show as good as will be
seen in the entire country.
A feature of taking care of
the visitors who go in automo-
biles is that there will be no
entrance fees for cars and free
protection for cars left down
town during the night. Rooms
will be 81 night, or 81 for
bed, whether one or more occupy
it, Prices for all eatables will
be marked so that no advantage
may be taken of visitors.
The automobile races will be
a fine feature also this time.
This fair belongs to all Missouri
and it is what we make it. 1t
is the one great show in the
state where farmers may 90
and see the best in all lines Of
farm betterment. A trip to
this fair costs so little and the
benefits so great that it seems
that all who possibly can should
avail themselves of this chance
to go. Why not make it your
summer outing. You can get
tents for a reasonable rental on
the ground, and meals can al
ways be secured within a very
short distance of any part of
the grounds. We ought not to
miss it.

Broke his Arm

Edwin Ewing son of Mr.. and
Mrs. 7. E. R. Ewing in the north
part of town was playing with
juvenile Mathews at the home
of Rev Mathews Thursday of
last week. Edwin is somewhat
gymnastic and in the exercise of
his acrobatic propensities he
mounted a box and made a long
jump. Evidently Edwins head
is heavier than his feet for he
described a parabola and landed
on his arms one of which he
broke. The young fellow has
forgot about it already.

ends. He said he had been and
was for national prohibition and
had no sorts of connection in any
way, shape, form or fashion with
Retail Liquor Dealers Associa-
tions nor did he know a single
member of the Association and
the ass tion that he
conrted the support of the
association was basely false and
charged against him for unwor-
thy political advantage. in this
campaign.
1t is regretted that Senator
Whitley could not in the time he
had make his entire speech and
hrd such an audience from all
over the county as he deserved,
but that his brief address was
reassurlng to his friends and
convincing to his opponents sup
porters that he had been willfully
malinged is beyond question. He
noticed the splendid statue of
Gen. Price in the park and re-
marked that his father was a
lieutenant under that distin-
guished general and forbore fur
ther suggestions on that subject.
Senator Whitley went to Sails
bury at about 9 O'Clock and ad-
dressed a large audience at that
city an account of which will be
found in Salisbury Scribblings.

U. S. Senator x. P. Whitley
passed thruzssthis city enroute
from Carrollton to Salisbury
Monday evening and favored an
audience which had been hastily
gathered together to hear him
with a short address. There
was a splendid audience at the
American airdome to hear him,
considering his late coming and
impossibility of his making a
speech.
Senator Whitley made a most
excellent impression. His inspired
remarks concerning the war and
our determination to win and his
unhesitating statement of the
principles of the platform on
which he asked the nomination
together with his dignified and
decent reference to his oppo-
nent, Hon. Jos. w. Folk claimed
for him the highest respect of
men who had made up their
minds to support Gov. Folk and
the enthusiasm of his Supporters.
Senator Whitley vouched for the
Americanism of his opponent
and spoke of him in most res
pectful language, but deplored
the fact that Gov. Folk found it
necessary to say concerning
him. the speaker, that which he
said and is still saying in his
speech and in public print. The
contrast between the dignifed
and fervent remarks of the Sen
ator and the remarks of Gov.
Folk in this city a few weeks
ago impressed many of his hear
ers very greatly in the Sena-
tors favor.
Senator Whitley unhesitatingly
declared that he preferred the
Endorsement of Prest. Wilson to
that of the st. Louis Republic
and said earnestly that if he
would be required to descend to
cheap political methods and the
slandering of any one in order to
gain votes for the nomination,
he would greatly prefer de-
feat but that in case he was Sc
iected by mis- party as their stand
ard barrer, he would do every
thing in bis power as a public
official to advance our interests
in the war and to sustain the
President in bis aims, but that
if he was not the preference, in
private life he would do all that
he could possibly for the same !

Harry Richardson Drowned

The treacherous current in
Grand River at a point east OF
the Milwaukee bridge and in
close proximity to the Lemon
sandbar continues to take its
toll of human life. It's latest
victim was Harry Richardson,
16 years old, who was drowned
there at 2.3O o'clock Sunday
afternoon.
Richardson, whose home is on
Graves street, went to the river
in company with two compan-
ions, making the trip on bicycles
The weather being warm and
the boys riding their wheels rap
idly, Richardson was well over
heated when they reached the
river bank. Hurriedly disrobing
he plunged into the stream,
swan across to the south bank
and started to swim back, when
he suddenly disappeared beneath
Ithe surface of the water and
was never seen alive again. A
dozen or Is men and boys were
bathing in the river close to the
point where Richardson went
down, but repeated attempts of
the best divers in the party fail
ed to locate the body.
A searching party headed by
Chief of Police Dorney arrived
at the river at about $50 o'clock
and half an hour later Richard
sons body was located in the
bed of the river at point al
most on a straight line from the
place where he went down. Tom
Mullens, a member of the search
ing party, and an expert diver,
made the discovery and brought
the body to the surface and the
river bank.
Frank Norman of the Norman
Funeral Home with his lungmo-
tor attempted to resussitate
Richardson, but to no avail. The
body was taken to the Norman
Funeral Home and prepared for
burial.
Harry B. Richardson was a
son of Mr.. and Mrs. 7. P. Rich
ardson of Graves street. He was
a good Christian boy, his kind
and loving disposition endearing
him to all who knew him. Be-
sides his parents, the deceased
is survived by two sisters. Helen
and Fern, and Paul, a baby bro
ther.
The funeral was held Wednes-
day morning, conducted by Rev.
]. N. Boyd and burial in Edge
wood.
The parents of this young
man are Charlton county citizens
having moved from Mendon to
Chillicothe last spring. Mrs.
richardson was formally Miss
Olive Short, reared near Keytes-
vile and has a host of friends
here who extend deepest sympa-
Tbs; thisy; 10 this hour of sorrow.

Mrs. Cora Hamilton

Cora Banning, daughter OF
Pleasant w. and Harriet Bann-
ing, was born on a farm six
miles southwest of Salisbury
Nov. 26, 1868. When about two
years old her father died and in
the course Of time her mother
was united in marriage to Mr.. j.
M. Hamilton and with his family
the subject of this sketch lived
until her marriage, and for some
time thereafter. Nov. 20, 1894.
she was Joined in wedlock to
Thomas R. Hamilton, Rev.
Mansfield conducting the cere-
mony at the home of her sister,
Mrs. P. r. O'Brien in this city
and there was scarcely happier
union or more congenial couple,
during all their domestic life.
When II years old Mrs. Cora
Hamilton united with the Bap-
tist church at New Hope under
the preaching of Rev. Pearson
and her devotion to her church
is without question.
For some time Mr.. and Mrs.
Hamilton lived at their resi-
dence at Salisbury during
his term as postmaster at that
city, but in 1902 he organized a
bank at Dalton and they moved
to that business center where
she died. Funeral services were
conducted at New Hope Monday
by Rev. Pearson under whom
she was converted and as an
evidence of her popularity a
great number of her friends and
acouaintances and those of the
family assembled. Interment
followed at the Bailey grave
ward where her mother and 9TH
er relatives lie sleeping. Mrs.
Cora Hamilton is survived by
her half sister Miss Amner Ban
ming of Brookfeld, a half sister
Mrs. P. r. 0'Brien Of this city
and half brother Robert Hub
bard south Of this city. Mrs.
Thomas Hamilton was a splen-
did woman, a good business wo-
man in home and public life, and
cherised by numerous friends.
While thoroughly domestic
she was yet alive, to public
affairs and where they had
no interference with her
home life was delighted to en-
gage in them and of value to
any organization in which she
took active part. She was in
deed the mainstay of a devoted
husband and from his life has
been taken a sustaining infiu-
ence which can not be replaced
and we extend to him and to
all the bereaved our sincere
sympathy.
