Compromise
Settlement

The case of Walter M. jackson
against the Federal Lead Co., for
damages to plaintiffs back, was set
tied out of court this week, and the
plaintiff was allowed $4,000 for his
injuries. This is the largest amount
ever given to any one for injuries in
the history of this county, as far as
we can ascertain.
The plaintiff was represented by
Mr.. Marsalek, and Charles M. Hay,
each of st. Louis, Mo-, and Benz. n,
Marbury; the defendant was repre-
sented by the law firm of Holland,
Rutledge and Lashley, of st. Louis,
and the settlement was made the day
after the above named lawyers had
won the Nash ccse.

Training School for
Nurses a Success

We are automatically informed that
the training school for nurses recent
ly established at the Missouri State
Hospital No. A, Pennington Mo-, met
with immediate favor with those for
whom it was intended, and that il is
in every way meeting the most san
guine expectations as to its benef-
ccnce. The lectures are we'll attended,
not only by the nurses and attendants,
but by all of the employees and Of
ficers and their families.
Such progressiveness may well be
emulated by all similar institutions,
since it should not only improve the
effectiveness of the nurses, but prove
equally beneficial to the teaching
corps-the Medical Staff.--St. Louis
Alienist and Neurologist.

FROM
SOMEWHERE IN TOWN
TO
IN THE COUNTRY

Dear Susan:-
Well, am just delighted about your
wood box, SO much so that am Won
dering whether it might not be a great
convenience to lots of folks in town,
too.
But Pm going to break right off
here and tnlk to you as aunts do have
the privilege of talking to their nice
es VIXEN occasion seems to call for it..
In your last letter you say that you
have not "time" to go to community
meetings. Now I am a good bit older
than you and have had bit more ex-
perience in life, and want to tell you
something that you want tc remem-
ber. Tie meetings that are most eX-
pensive to you in time and effort, are
the meetings that you stay away
from. Let me tell you that when
there's a community meeting any
where within reasonable distance and
you do not go, it's case of few
hours saved and perhaps whole after
moons and days wasted. If you are
wise, you will go to Mrs. Crossman's
for the next meeting of the Primrose
Homemakers' Club. You will prob
ably see and learn enough there to
save you hours of work and floods of
tears over spoiled dress.
| But the real purpose of this letter
is to tell you about kitchen drain
that I saw the other day in the home
of Mrs. John Cook, of Marvin Chapel
The drain fits in between the sink
and the kitchen table. It is about 10
inches square at the top, tapering
down to a four-inch pipe which goes
through the wall and down into a
covered barrel outside. The drain is
made of galvanized iron, painted
white, and has lid fastened on with
hinges. All garbage can be disposed
Of without taking any extra steps
then it can be taken to the hogs with.
out the men having to come into the
kitchen. Mrs. Cook says that it saves
her more steps than anything else ir
her house.
Perhaps when you get ready to put
your pitcher pump into the kitchen
for / am sure John will have thai
done for you soon-you might be able
to use the suggestion. Your Home

give you further instructions.

New Trial
Asked For

The case of Sarah Mcdowell, against
the City of Pennington, tried last term
with the result of $4,000 verdict for
plaintiff, was argued in motion for
a new trial on Thursday, by Messrs.
Marbury and Cayce. The only le-
gal point seriously pressed was that
the petition did not state cause Of
action, for the reason that Mrs. Nc
Dowell alleged that there "were no
children born Of her marriage who
were then minors, when as in truth
and fact minor boy by former mar
riage was living at the time of the
death of the husband.
The court indicated it would sus-
tain Marbury & Cayce.

SGT. ROY CREASEY
is BACK AFTER A
YEAR IN FRANCE

Sergeant Roy Greasy, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Mason Creasey is home after
having seen a years active service in
France, on the most important sectors.
Creasey is wearing a brassart of
black crepe on his left arm with a gold
star which signifies that he has lost
a brother in the service. His brother,
Albert Russell, died at Camp Jackson,
after having enlisted for the second
time, he being discharged the first
time on account of defective sight.
Sergeant Creasey was with the
12Sth Field Artillery Battery F. He
saw active service on the Alsace Sec
tor from August Is to August 80, at
St. Mihiel from September 10 to 18th,
1918, in the Meuse-Argonne offensive
from September % to October ? and
on the Verdun front from October 10
to November II at II a. M, when the
armistice was signed.
He was never wounded and but
slightly gassed. Creasey, was dis
charged at Camp Funston Saturday
| and arrived here Sundy. He enlisted
in the army June IL, 1917 and vas in
training at Camp Doniphan before
sailing for France.
He made the trip across starting
May 10 and landing June 8, 1913. His
convoy sunk two submarines in the
way over and things were quite excit-
| ing for a while according to Sergeant
Crcasey.
Creascy says that contrary to GER
tain statements that the 35th artillery
iii not 90 its part in following Up the
Infantry at Argonne, it did more than
it was ordered to. He says there were
1876 guns on a % mile front both
light and heavy. One statement &C
c0-ding to him was true, the one which
stated that the air was dominated by
the enemy. The enemy planes, he
says, kept them busy getting out OF
the way of the shells. The men had
Just completed a hike of 25 miles from
Nancy, some of them had fallen out
and others fell out after arriving or
the front from being gassed. This
helped to weaken the offensive.
There was only one railroad with
which to move the mobile guns and
the first days offensive carried the
American Army four miles into the
enemy territory. A railroad could moi
be built that fast so it was impossible
10 follow up with the big guns. The
light artillery had to suffice.
He had nothing but highest praise
for the Salvation Army, Red Cross
Knights of Columbus and especially
the Y. NJ. c., A. He says the Y. NJ
C. a. has been unjustly criticised anG
that before coming home he took spec,
n pains to investigate it. He found
that when cver it was possible, they
did their duty admirably.
Sergeant Creasey is looking fine and
is glad to get home again.

Special Cdbie Despatch TO TEE sus.
Copyrio.f 1919 nil rjobts r,s,yy>d.


LONDON. oct. s.-strenuous efforts are
being made by the Cabinet to establish
a committee for the settlement of the
Irish problem. Lloyd George presided
over a fully attended Cabinet meeting
this afternoon, in the course of which
Sir Edward Carson was called into con-
sultaton. The names mentioned for
membership on the Cabinet committee
include Lord Chancellor Birkenhead,
Edward Short, II. A L. Fisher, Walter
Long, Worthington Evans and Sir Auck-
land Geddes.
After its appointment which is ex-
pected this week. the committee will
meet steadily preparatory to making
report Immediately after Parliament is
reassembled.
1t is declared that two basic principles
will be applied to the Situation, namely,
the fullest possible measure of home rule
for the Nstionalists and recognition of
the fact that six Protestant counties OF
Ulster cannot be brought under iome
rule by Parliament against their will.
Lord French and Ian MACPHERSON will
be in constant consultation with the com
mittee, but 1t has not yet been deter
mined whether they will be members
So far as possible the committee will
start with a free hand. the only restric-
ton being that they must not recognize
anything resembling an Irish republic or
include any plan looking to the coercion
of Ulster.
The act which suspended the opera
ton of home rule will expire when the
peace treaty is signed by the last OF
| the enemy belligerents, but there ID
nothing to prevent the Government from
extending the period. There Is some
| doubt as to when Turkey will sign. but
some profess to think It will be about
the end of the year, thus allowing the
Government time to pass a bill extend
ing the suspensory act before the
| Christmas recess
The repeated declaration of the Sim
Feiners that nothing short Of a re-
public will satisfy them places then,
outside the pale of negotiations. Mean
while the Government is determined to
pursue the policy of maintaining law
and order in Ireland by all possible re.
sources. 1t is plain the iron fist OF
military rule will be exhibited FIRE.
