My dear Mrs. Wilson:

My dear Mrs. Wilson:
would greatly appreciate it if
YOU would tell me what to do with
a large quantity of ounce jelly
which has not jellied. I prepared it
in the usual way, but it only jellied
on the top. The color and flavor
are good, and / do not wish to spoil
it. Can YOU suggest any other
way?
(Mrs.) J. A. C.
Set the glasses of jelly in a sunny
window until firm; the jelly needed
longer cooking.

Ten Years Nun2erThan HiSYearS

Doesn't it make you feel good-cause you to straight en up and feel "chesty"- when someone guesses your age at ten ye ars or SO younger than you really are? You look into your mirror, smile with satisfac-' tion and say to yourself: Well, he didn't make such a bad guess, at that
 The point is: You're no older than your vitality.
 If a man is strong, vigor- ous, mentally alert, fine and fit at 50 he has a better, chance of living up to 80 than a man of 30 who is weak and rundown has of living up to 60. While none Of us can stay the years nor stop time, we should all make an heroic effort to suc- cessfully resist the effects of time by ever keeping; our vitality at par.
 When you sense a feeling of slowing down of your physical forces-when your stomach, liver, kidneys and other organs show signs of weakness-when you notice a lack of your old time ''pep" and punch in other words, when you feel your vitality is on the wane, you should com

TREATY REJECTED
Ratification To Next Session
War Laws In Force
Coal Short

The u. S. Senate voted against
ratification of the treaty between
nations three several times We'd
nesday and president Wilson may
withdraw the measure and resub-
nit it to the next congress which
will convene next month. If the
president does not withdraw the
treaty, it will stand defeated and
seperate peace pacts between
the United States and other coun-
tries will be necessary. Con-
gress adjourned without declar-
ing wa at an end and therefore
the war time measures are in
force unless decided that their
enforcement at this time would
be unconstitutional.
One hundred and fifteen mil
lions gallons of whiskey was re.
leased by the food controller in
England Wednesday besides a
lot of other liquors and the rush
to obtain supply was great.
Many industries have decided
to close down on account of coal
shortage. Nearly half million
miners out at this time and the
government may take drastic
action against both operators and
miners in order to avert disaster
to the country. Kansas miners
ffatly refuse to act under orders
or suggestions of the governor.
Wholesale and retail houses are
to run on short time to save coal
and railroads are annulliDg trains
not absolutely necessary to be
run.

Farm Bureau Notes
By Sam Jordan
Raw Rock Phosphate

Raw Rock Phosphate
This product should be consid-
cred by every man who grows a
good deal of clover, or whose
soil is rich in nitrogen and which
grows too much plant fer the
grain produced. This condition
often follows where clover is
grown to a great extent, and
this condition can be splendidlv
corrected by the right use of
Raw Rock Phosphate. There
will be a farmers meeting at
Salisbury Saturday, Nov. %, at
l D. m. for a general discussion
of this fertilizer and others and
all who may be interested should
attend. This session will last
until 2p. m. when other farm
matters are to be taken up for
discussion.
The Corn Situation AS We See 1t
"Shall l hold MY corn or sell
it now?" That is the question.
Of course no one on earth can
tell but it may be taken into con-
sideration that will help US to
make up our minds as to what is
best to do.
Factors to be chiefly consider
ed are shrinkage, and "ratage"
and these can very accurately be
approxImated, shrinkage espec-
tally.
Taking SIPS at the elevator
as a basis. when considering
shrinkage alone, in late October
is equal to $l.27 in November,
$1.29 in December, $l.S0 in jan
uary, $l.32 in February, $l.32 in
March, ST. SO in April, SLAB in
May, $l,4S in June. STAT in
July, $1.48 in August and $l.49
in Sept.
These figures are the results
of careful experiments, carried
on for years, and the ratios run
about as given. There are some
things that will modify these,
and the one is how we'll the corn
has maturcd. Well ripened corn
will shrink less than ,unripe, or
chaffy corn. Weather also has
its effect, and it should be re-
membered in the calculations
that these figures given are for
many years and are averages.
This time most Of the corn rip.

to put on and started to question
him about his naked condition
when the negro took to his heels.
Walker phoned the circumstances
to Moberly and officers went out
and captured the negro. Anoth-
er was taken between Clifton
and Huntsville, clad in ovsralls
and shoes which he had stolen
from an automobile. The other
was taken later and sheriff Owen
knowing what would happen
loaded the negroes in autos and
put out with them for parts at
that time unknown to avengers
of Thompson.
While under arrest at Moberly
the four negroes told officers
they were l. W. VS.. and gave
their names as Harry Richard
son, Is, Geo. Adams l8, James
Anderson, from Chicago and San
ford Taylor 20, from E. st.
Louis.
At the preliminary trial at
Moberly the negroes were bound
over to the circuit court for trial
for robbery and assault with in
tent to kill. They came near
missing trial and it is wondered
if the neck-tie party at Moberly
built the big fire in the park to
keep warm by while they waited
or to introduce the youthful ban
dts to later on.
The negro hung temporarily at
Moberly was not the one shot as
he was fleeing. The marks of
the rope about the neck of one
of them in safe keeping at this
time, place unknown. indicates
plainly which one the limb broke
with and bullets failed to over
take.

Look for the big stock sale ad
in next weeks issue.
The Missouri Central, the elec-
tric railway which excited our
people several years ago thru
activities of Col. Chase, appears
to be making headway to the ex.
tent of having the fifty millions
dollars capital necessary to build
it ready for use. The plan is a
double track from K. City to st.
Louis, crossing the Mo. river
somewhere in the ~neighborhood
of Glasgow for the linz which
will run up this way and to
Brookfield. The benefit of such
a road is hardly calculable at this
time, but when rails are put
down and rolling stock in sight,
we will try to figure it out for
our readers.
A farmer named Pete Dooley,
living between Brunswick and
Dewitt, attempted to assault a
neighbUr woman, Mrs. Dave
Campbell Tuesday afternoon.
Campbell was in Dewitt loading
his household goods preparatory
to moving away from that Sec
tion and Mrs. Campbell and her
children were at home when
Dooley came and after hanging
around the house and Mrs. Camp
bell for a time. grabbed her and
undertook the assault. Mrs,
Campbell fought viciously and
succeeded in breaking away from
her assailant and securing a shot
gun with which she tried to kill
Dooley. He grabbed one of the
small children and held it before
him while ne backed away from
the house and around the barn
when he dropped the child ard
made his escape in the woods,
near. He got as far as Mendon
where news Of the outrage had
proceeded him and was placed
under arrest. The officer went
to a phone to notify sheriff Hurt
Of the arrest and Dooley bolted,
getting aboard a freight train
just pulling out and when the
train reached Marceline, he left
i and has not been apprehend-
ed to the time Of going to press. /
