Merchants Asked to Help

The Missouri Division of the
United States Food Administra.
ton asks that from now on GUS
toners look in every food store
for the red and black poster,
bearing the seal of the Food Ad-
ministration, which shows the
merchant has signed the pledge.
The pledge, which appears on
poster, reads as follows:
We pledge ourselves to give
our customers the benefit of fair
and moderate prices, selling at
no more than a reasonable profit
above cost to us.
The pledge is voluntary and il
puts the grocer on record as hav.
ing voluntarily agreed to coop
crate with the policy of the Food
Administration. No merchant
will be allowed to sign unless he
gives positive assurance he will
live up to the pledge in spirit as
well as in letter.

FATHER KILLED HIS SON
Head Nearly Torn Off By Shot
A Fatal Rabbit Hunt
Parents Frustrated.

Saturday afternoon Horace
Elliott and his son Howard went
out on the farm about 5 miles
northeast of Brunswick to bag
some rabbits. They were sue
cessful and the nine year old boy
was very active in the sport.
After some time his father shot
a rabbit and the boy ran to re-
cover it and got in front of the
gun as it was discharged, how,
Horace Elliott has no idea.
With the report the father saw
his son fall with nearly half his
head torn off, the full charge
at a distance of not more than a
few feet taking effect and caus-
ing death almost instantly.
Horror stricken the par snt saw
the death of his cherished son
and picked him up and carried
him home when a physician was
summoned to no avail.
Monday the remains were de-
posted in Prairie Chapel ceme-
terry in the presence of a large
number of the friends of the
family, Rev. Marlin of Moberly
comforting the grief stricken
family and commiserating their
loss with words of Christian
love and hope.
I'm the midst of life we are
in death. :"

1t is coming time when these

assist. A new lot of material
has been received and a lot
more is on the road and it calls

Insurance For Every Fighter
ternoOn.

The Treasury Department is
making every effort to have
every member of Americas
fighting forces take advantage
of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
plan, which Secretary McAdoo
asserts to be "the most just and
humane provision ever made by
any nation for its soldiers and
sailors.
The purpose is rapidly being
achieved, the insurance having
passed the third billion mark in
the total of policies written, and
there are many military units in
which every member has taken
insurance. The automatic in
surance provided by the law is
only partial and limited protec-
ton, payable only to wife, child,
or widowed mother and ceases
after February IL, 1918. 1t is
important, therefore, not only
to the soldiers and sailors of the
country but to their families and
dependents, that before that
date they avail themselves of
the full Government protection,
which can go as high as $4,000
and is payable to a wife, hus-
band, child, grandchild, parent.
brother or sister.
The law also provides for the
reeducaiion and rehabilitation of
the totally disabled and monthly
compensat on to those disabled.

Woman Attempts Suicide

Mrs. L. C. Johnson of Nash.
vile, Tenn, attempted suicide
on Wabash passenger train No.
2 Monday. She cut her threat
with a small knife. She had
been noticed in the car after
leaving Kansas City and when
nearing Carrollton ladies in the
car saw her enter the ladies'
toilet. After leaving Brunswick
the porter was notified. The
porter knocked on the door but
there was no response. He then
unlocked the door and found the
lady lying on the floor He noti-
fled the conductor and the lady
was carried out and aid was
given her. A physician from
Salisbury boarded the train and
brought the lady to this city
where she was taken to the
Woodland hospital. The name
of Mrs. l.. G. johnson was taken
from a card on her suit case.
1t is supposed that she lives in
Nashville, Tenn, as the con-
ductor stated that she had a
ticket to that place and was re-
turning from a trip to Los Ange-
les, Cal.
The suit case was opened by
the doctor and in it was found
a letter, signed by Mrs. Sarah
Johnson, that contained the fol-
lowing statements: I'm case
of my death or any serious ac-
cident | wish to state that my
husband has always been good
to me. That at no time have
we ever had any trouble and
that he has never taken money
from any one. In our life we
have had lots of trouble with
colored people and they have
killed an innocent man"
From all reports Mis-. Johnson
had been to Los Angeles visit
ing a soldier but it is not known
whether it was her husband or
not.
At a late hour this afternoon
the attending physician said she
had a chance to live.
Later. She died Tuesday af-
ternoon.

Free Text Book Money

According to official distribu-
tion given out by W. w. White.
county clerk. the following school
districts get the following
amounts for free text books for
the year 1918, and the follow
ing cities also get the following
amounts for their funds. This
money is derived from tax on
foreign insurance companies, and
is by the state apportioned to the
different counties:

TIL q sl Situation

Lest Frida practically all fac
tories, big mercantile houses
and in fact every other place
was closed for five days and to
close each Monday. thereafter
until March 25 to save coal. DR..
Garfield of the federal fuel board
created more CONSERVATION than
can be told of by the order and
went further suddenly than any
other country ever did in months
in tying up business. The rea-
son alleged was shortage of coal
and the necessity for having it
to coal ships loaded with supplies
for Europe. An exception was
made in the cases of producers
and sellers of food stuffs and
later factories engaged in max
ing war supplies.
There can be little doubt that
railroads are responsible to a
great extent for the shortage in
the supply of coal for a promi-
nent official in the Coal Miners
Union said that thousands of
men were waiting for cars to
load coal into who ought to be at
work digging and would be so
engaged if there was a way pro-
vided to get the coal away from
the mines. 1t would appear that
the railroads are going to dem
onstrate that the government
cannot handle railroads success
fully and naturally that would
discourage government owner
ship.
1t has been but a short time
since the report from the full ad-
ministrator showed that there
were fifty four millions tons
more coal mined this year than
last year. State fuel admins
traitor Wallace Crossley has is.
sued orders which will close
down many institutions in the
cities of the state and save a lot
of coal. The question as to
whether all this summary pro-
ceedings was necessary will ap-
pear later on bur in the mean
time there is nothing else to do
but to obey the orders and help
out in every way possible even
tho the loss to business men and
workingmen resulting from such
action as this is enormous and
hard to bear by many.
