Prominent FARMER
COMMITS SUICIDE
Uses Shot Gun and Blows His
Head Almost OFF the Body
Worry Over Draft

Mike Foley, son Of John Foley
owner and operator of large farm
ut Blue Mound, six miles west of Bax-
ter Springs, committed suicide by
shooting himself at about the noon
hour Mondoy.
The father went to Columbus Mon
morning with Scott Jarrett, on busi-
ness.
Mike and his brother, John, were
working in the field in the forenoon
When the noon hours approached
Mike, being nearer the house than his
brother started in first, probably IL
minutes ahead of his brother. When
John reached the house he found Mike
just inside the door lying Wostrate on
the floor almost the entirWtop of his
head having been shot off. A shot gun
was lying by his side as mute evidence
of the circumstances.
The dead man was about 30 years
old. The cause of his rash act Is De-
lieved to have been worry over the
prospects of being drafted into the
army. He had been before the board
at Columbus q number of times and
from time to time for some reason the
date of his departure for the training
camp had been deferred. He was un,
married and lived with his father and
brother, his mother having died about
two years ago.
The family are old and respected
residents of the community. Coron-
er McAuley of Columbus, was notified
and an inquiry was held at the Foley
home Monday afternoon.

BANKS DECIDE ON
SEVEN O'CLOCK
viii Remain Open Late on Sat.
urday Evenings to Cash
Miners Checks

Secy. Sarchet announced Saturday
morning that at conference with the
officials of the banks Fri. night it was
agreed that until further notice the
banks would remain open on Satur-
day evenings until z o'clock.
This will be change from the pre-
+sent custom Of closing at a o'clock on
Saturday. The change has been urged
by some of the business men, support
ed by the Chamber of Commerce, who
have urged that because the banks
were closed and the workmen from the
mines could not get their checks cash
ed here on Saturday night, these peo-
pie were going to Joplin in car lots
and were spending their money over
there greatly to the detriment of the
stores of Baxter Springs.
The banks have contended that il
was an undue hardship to be imposed
on them; that it was contrary to all
banking rules and not practiced any
where in the country. The banks in
holding out for o'clock closing, have
been supported by some of the leading
merchants, who were anxious to get
q chance to cash checks for the min
ers. They declared it increased their
Saturday night sales; and disagreed
with other merchants who were afraid
to cash checks because of the LIABILITY
to get stung on bad checks.
But the contenders for open banks
in the evening finally got the best OF
q long drawn out controversy and
hence the new order of things If
you have a good check you can get it
cashed Saturdays in the bank up to Z
o'clock.

PRICE OF FORDs UP SIS
Continuation of a Reduced Output Is
Doubtful

Fords have gone up $75. The big
factory at Detroit has been forced to
cut its production to $50 passenger
cars and 400 trucks a day. A year
ago 1000 machines a day were fin
ished. The continuation of this re-
duced output for any length of time
is doubtful, as the War Industries
Board has indicated the steel short
age may prohibit production OF any
motor cars after January /. The new
Ford prices:
Chassis, $475; roadster, $500; tour
ing, $525; coupelet, $3.50, and sedan,
$775. The 1-ton truck was reduced
to $3.50, a hundred dollars less.

To The Merchants
of Richmond Co.

We have noted that some con-
fusion resulted from the referen-
ces to the removal of all except
ions to the combination sale ord
er which forbids the sale of flour
except in combination with an
equal quantity of cereal substi-
tute.
In some states where cereal
substitutes were particularly
scarce State Food Administrators
had included potatoes and ether
articles in the list of substitutes
which might be sold with flour.
In some instances -four was al
lowed to be sold with a smaller
quantity of cereal substitutes
than was provided in the original
$3.50 order. Mr.. Hoover's an
nouncement simply cancelled all
such exceptions and places the
order where it was to begin with.
In other words, not a pound OF
flour must be sold except in COM
bination with an accompanying
pound of cereal substitute. The
order of the Food Administration
does not affect the ruling in this
State by which merchants are al
lowed to sell up to 48 pounds of
flour to consumers who sign a
certificate stating that they have
produced and are consuming GER
cal substitutes in equal proport-
ions with flour.
Very t-uly yours,
w. N. Everett,
County Food Administrator.
