William has aged some but he's the
same genial Bill ash in the days of yore.
For the past three years he tells us
that he has not been in good health

The following appeared In last Thurs
days st. Louis Republic from Farm
ington, Mo-: Vocational education
will hereafter be an important part
of the treatment of mental disorders
at State Hospital No. 4, at Farming
ton. Recent results attained in the
wards devoted to habit training and
work cure have been most gratifying.
A we'll balanced day, with various
kinds of work, mingled with recrea-
ton, games. moving-picture sh lows
and other amusements, creates a new
interest in life and crowds out many
fixed ideas and decisions. State Hos

one of the first in Missouri to incor-

Sunday morning Sheriff Blue re-
ceived q phone message from the
prosecuting attorney of Shannon
county making inquiry if there was q
bloodhound in this community that
could be sent to Winona to trail How
ard Bogartus, who had killed Roy w.
Sutton, marshal of the Shannon
ty town, on Thanksgiving day, and
made his escape in the woods. AS it

Ills, who had brought a bloodhound
here the night before to trail the bur-

noon Mr.. Huckabey departed in an
automobile, with his bloodhound, for
Winona.
The discovery was recently made
that burglars had entered the sum-
mer home of Mr.. G.. W. Clarkson in
Arcadia and stolen from there prob
ably $500 or 5000 worth of goods.
Many valuable rugs, silverware and

wheels, tires, tank, radiator, car

had gone and he was not ell pleased

way about it. 1t is outrageous. The
indications are that the work was
done by local talent, at least by part
les who were familiar with the prem
ises. Nothing should be left undone
to ferret ont the guilty. ones and see
