Who Is Right 2?

There seems to be a difference of
opinion between Borough Counsel s..
T. Leap and State Motor Vehicle De-
partment Agent E. A. McAdarns as to
the disposition of the fines collected
fur violation of the Motor Vehicle n
local traffic laws. Mr.. Leap claims
that where the offense is against the
speed limit, reckless driving, passing
trolley cars and others of a similar
nature. the fines should be turned over
to- the Borough and not to the State.
Agent McAdams places a different
construction upon the matter accord
ing to his instruction from the State
Department, but he sincerely hopes
that Mr.. Leap is correct in his as
sumption, as he would like to have the
Borough get the money.

SAYS LAND WILL GO
TOO HIGH TO BUY
If He Signed Petition for Good Roads
He Would Not Be Able to Buy
Farm in a Year or Two.

One of the farmers the good road
petitioners encountered Thursday
while out in the eastern part of Aud
rain trying to get signers for the
good road petition said he could not
sign the statement because it would
make land too high.
Il just sold my farm a short time
ago and / want to buy again in about
SIX months or a year and if | sign
this petition and the county gets good
roads land will take a jump up that
will put it clear out of my reach and
will only be able to buy about half
as much land as l might if it remains
at it present value" he told the good
road booster.
This practical minded farmer final
ly signed the petition but he hit ore
of the best arguments that can he
advanced in favor of the good road
proposition.

RAIN FRIDAY
WAS GENERAL IN
AUDRAIN COUNTY
Was First Good Rain in a Period OF
Twenty-Five Days
Corn Saved.

Much rejoicing prevailed through
out this section of the country Fri
day morning when wehadthe firstgood
general rain for a period of twenty
two days. 1t might safely be said
that the corn crop of Audrain county
was saved by this rain for the heat
was just beginning to show a great
effect. The corn was just at the dan
gerous stage of development and
without rain most likely would have
been ruined.
The greatly needed rain started
about 4 o'clock in the morning and
continued generally all over the coun-
try. All sections report the best rain
they have had. A short local shower
accured out in the county a few days
ago but was not enough to do much
good. This last rainfall was about
one inch.
Threshing of the wheat will be ham,
pered for a while as the crop will have
to be allowed to dry out, but judging
! from the heat before the rain this
will not take long when the sun does
come out again. Those who do not
own threshing machines are forced to
await their turn to hire one, conse
quently there are a number of farm
ers whose crop Of wheat has not been
threshed.
Placing a financial value on the rain,
the Audrain farmers say that it is
worth thousands of dollars to them.

"Mr. Shouse is yet a very young

X JOSEPH II. ROBES.
President of the Federated Musical
Clubs of Missouri.
Bv CAROLYN Sproul,

The gift of music is a royal one.
When, in addition to the sweet voice
and the trained hand of the pianoist,
the lare beauty of face and great per-
sonal charm, we find the capacity for
unstinted work, ono can but marvel at
the rich heritage of Lcona Williams
Rodes, the President of the Missouri
Federated Musical Clubs.
With the modesty Of real achieve
ment, she prefers not to talk of what
she has done, but rather of what she
hopes to do in the great opportunity
that is now hers. However, such a
life as Mrs. Rodes has led can but be
an incentive to young aspirants in her
line of work, as well as crafty, in the
recital, her many friends.
Of a musical family Mrs. Rodes, is,
perhaps, the most gifted. After ac-
curing some knowledge of the piano,
she taught to provide the means for
hcr lessons. For years she thus taught
as she studied and upon graduating
from the conservatory of Hardin Col
lege, she won the gold medal for eff
fciency in voice work. At Synodical
College a certificate for proficiency ir
piano was granted her. Although moi
a resident pupil, she was a student Of
W. M. Treloar, the supervisor of music
in the institution at that time. Tit
required examination was passed t,
secure the coveted credential.
At different times Mrs. Rode.
taught in the good schools of the state
Then off to New York or to Cincinnati
she would go for further study and in
spiration, which can be, had only b,
seeking the fellowship of the artists
in ones speciality.
Upon marrying Joseph H. Rodes
Paris, Mo-, claimed them in residence
for a year. Going to Sedalia next tn
powerful influence of Mrs. William D
Steele came into her life and Will
studying with this gifted woman, Mrs
Rodes first became interested in Chora
music. The time thus spent was fruit
full and when the removal to ST
Louis was made, the opportunity t.
join the Morning Choral was possible
for Mrs. Rodes. For two years sh'
was a member Of its Board.

SHOUSE MAY Be

Assistant Secretary of the Treasury,
Former City Editor of the Led
ger, is Suggested
WAS IN CONGRESS
Was Elected to Congress on the Demo-
cratic Ticket From a Republican
Kansas County.

.Jvuett Shouse, Assistant Secretary
of the o. S. Treasury, a former Mex
leo boy and City Editor of the Ledger,
NAV be a candidate for the U. S. Sen
ate in Kansas. Mr.. Shouse was elect
ed to Congress from Kansas on the
democratic ticket in a strong Republic
"a county.
Tbe following from an editorial in
tne Westphalia, Kansas, Times, will be
of interest," TO his many friends here:
"Repubanans haven't any available
ma to run against Senator Charles
Curtis in the 1920 primary. If they
mad held back Bristow, or Stubs or
Scott IN 1918, it might have been diff
1 ferent, btu no use to run a loser
against a favorite. And what's both
aering us more than that is: Who can
fthe Democrats pick to beat him.
paaz Spirit, May 9th.
sAHglsrussing a candidate for United
Srakes senator, there is no man more
.,uaIffie eli CT more available than Hon.
.Jouett Shpnaza, of Kinsley, at present
assistant secreIary of the United
states Treasury. Jouett shoues is not
only the biggest man in Kansas, but Is
sonc of the truly big men in national
affairs. And he is just as familiar
with Kansas affairs as with national
,aa;rs. During his four years in the
late senate he was chairman Of the
ayays and means committee, and his
,rasp of taxation questions was evil
sent from the very first. His career
a congress was both brilliant and con
~tructiye. To Mr.. shouse as much as
q anyone else, we owe the credit Of
,orking out the scheme for the fed
raj land bank. 1t is he who camf
the front last year in providing
yayf for the western farmers, who hac
at al for two or three years, to gel
