creek and there done to death. The
condition of his clothing indicated
that he had been dragged some dis
tance before he was thrown into the
water. Physicians who examined the
body said the small amount of water
found in the lungs was evidence that
Cooper was dead when dropped into
the creek.
Mrs. Cooper, who is daughter of
Milton H. Smith, president of the
! Louisville & Nashville railroad, has
been visiting relatives in Louisville,
KY, and her absence accounts for the
fact that the disappearance of her
husband did not become known until
today.
/ There was no evidence that the
| Cooper home had been robbed after
the murder and some doubt has been
expressed that the murderers could
have expected that the lawyer would
have any great sum on his person.
His empty pocketbook, however, was
found in the bottom of the automo-
bile.
Cooper, the police said tonight,
was overheard to remark that he was
expecting some liquor the latter part
of the week, but did not mention
from whom the purchase was to be
made. The police also said that it
had been learned that Cooper bor-
rowed some whiskey recently from
friend with a promise to return the
amount Thursday or Friday. From
this the. police deduce that Cooper
must have been expecting to pur-
chase some liquor about the time he
met his death.
Cooper is known to have had
about $500 on his person when he
visited Belle Meade Park and after
meeting the supposed whiskey sellers
it is believed by the authorities that
the attorney was murdered for his
money. A man whose name is be-
ing withheld by the police and said
to be whiskey dealer could not be
found tonight, but at police head
quarters it was said that with the
! arrest of this man it was expected
that the mystery would be cleared
up.
Governor Roberts has offered a
reward of $500 for the arrest and
conviction of the murderers of the
lawyer. This later was supplement-
ed by offer of a similar amount by
the family. The police admit that
) they have nothing on which to work
;; in solving the mystery.
carmack Tragedy.
The Carmack tragedy, the most
notable in the history of Tennessee,
grew out of the Carmack-Patterson
race for governor in 1908, in which
Col. D. B. Cooper, father of Robin j.
Cooper, was one of Patterson's clos
est advisers. In the fatal encounter
which occurred on an uptown street
of Nashville November 9, 1908, the
son fired the shot which ended Car
mack's life and in the shooting was
himself wounded. Father and son
were convicted of murder in the
second degree in the lower court, but
,, on the appeal of the case to the su-
preme court, the verdict was reversed
; as to the son.
The verdict as to Colonel Cooper
was sustained, three to two, but be-
fore leavingg the capitol the father
was pardoned by Governor Patter-
son. The case of Robin J. Cooper,
when it came up again in the David
son county criminal court was drop

SMUT LOSSES BEING REDUCED.

Twenty-Five per cent more farmers
in the United States treated seed to
prevent cereal smuts in tn 1918 spring
and fall seeding seasons than during
the previous year, according to an es-
innate recently made by the United
States department of agriculture, bas-
ed on surveys and on increased de-
mand for formaldehyde and copper
sulphate, which are used in making
the treatment. The estimated nation
al loss due to smuts in the 1918 crop
was 25,500,000 bushels of wheat; H.
100000 bushels of oats, and 6,000,000
bushels of barley. Minnesota and Ne
braska together lost during 1918 over
5000, 900 bushels of wheat from stink
ing smut alone, practically all of
which could have been prevented by
a simple treatment previous to seed
ing.

OLD RED HEN MATCHES OUT
z CHICKS IN WINTER AL

This is a story of an old red hen
that has scratched for a living on the
w. E. Reed cattle ranch near Angus
ia. If she is no prophet concerning
a premature spring or belated winter,
she at least makes her bow as the first
cluck of the season. "Cluck, cluck,"
she says and seven little threats say
"Peep, peep, peep"
The story Of this red hen is brought
to Helena by c., c. Covington of Au-
gusta, former county commissioner.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Reed noticed
that the hen was acting strangely and
that she made herself rather scarce
around the coop. That continued for
a few weeks, and one day the old red
hen strutted forth with a brood of
seven chicks that We're Matched out

Getting Rid of Colds.

The easiest and quickest way to get
rid of a cold is to take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. This preparation has
been in use for many years and its
value proven. No matter what rene
dy you use, however, care must be
taken not to contract a second cold
before you have recovered from the
first one, and there is serious danger
of this. A man of middle age or old
err should go to bed and stay in bed
until fully recovered. It is better to
stay in bed three days at the start
than three weeks later on.

BELGIAN RELIEF FUND
RECEIVES AN INCREASE

Washington, February 26.-The
American Red Cross has appropriated
81, GIG, 662 for relief work in Belgium
for the two months ending March /,
this amount representing a consider
able increase over previous %appropria-
tions for Red Cross work in the little
kingdom. The increase was made
necessary because conditions follow
ing the evacuation of the German
army prompted the American Red
Cross to extend its aid to all Belgium
instead of a small part Of the king
dom as heretofore.
In continuing its assistance to the
brave people whose gallant struggle
against German domination called
forth the admiration of the world the
American Red Cross, through it's Bel
gian commission, is cooperating with
the commission for the relief of Bel
GUM, whose splendid practical aid
during the war helped the Belgians
to "carry on" and with the officials
and relief agencies Of the Belgian gov
eminent. The chief needs of the coun-
try now are machinery, farming i'm
plements and raw materials and all
agencies are working hard to the end
that these essentials to rehabilita-
ton shall be provided without unnec-
essary delay. Even while waiting
for the equipment which will enable a
resumption of industrial and agricul-
tural pursuits on a large scale, the
inhabitants are busying themselves
with any work that ONE to hand,
their natural thrift and industry ma
king it impossible for them to remain
idle.
! Of the amount appropriated by the
Red Cross, s4O2,O51 will go for relief
work among the children of Belgium
Other Red Cross activities that will
share in the fund are: Refugee work
s516,792; military hospitals, $780,
$50; military c%anteens, S172,020, anc
civilian hospitals, S412,229.

FIRST WAR SAVINGS SOCIETIES

The organization of war savings So
cieties in the ninth federal reserve
district bids fair to be one of the
most popular as we'll as one of the
most profitable occupations during
the week of February II to "a.
These seven days have been official
ly designated as savings society week,
and throughout the district members
of the war loan organization will be
continuously on the job that is eX-
pected to furnish the solid foundation
upon which successful government fl
nancing will be builded during 1919.
Director j. H. Meyering reported
on Saturday that results were already
being obtained and that the number of
societies already organized was a very
gratifying indication of the enthusi-
asm and patriotism of the people, as
we'll as of the popularity and certain
success of the districts war savings
plan.
DEVILS Lake, Ramsey county, N. d.,
was the first town in the ninth dis
trict to officially report the %organiza-
ton of a 1919 war savings society,
The name of this honor-winning or
ganization is the "Vigilant War Saw
ings Society,"" Its officers are, R, T,
Serumgard, president, and Genevieve
Geno, secretary. The latter reports q
membership of sixty-two and assured
the district manager that the "Vigi.
lantes" are going out after other rec.
ords as we'll as that of being the first
to organize.
The American War Savings Society
also at Devils Lake, won second hon
ors, and the report of this organiza
ton was received only a few minutes
after it's competitor in the same town

to secure the Red Cross films as a
series to be run either daily, weekly
or in any order the exhibitor desires.
The series is composed of twelve
single-reel pictures Of unusual inter-
est, not only to Red Cross workers,
but to the general public. The pur-
pose of the Red Cross is to have the
greatest possible number of people
see these films, and to accomplish this
end, a rental price has been made so
low that they will be available for ev-
evry exhibitor.
These pictures show all the things
you have been reading about in the
various Red Cross publications, such
as the handling of refugees and chill
dren, the reconstruction of mutiles,
events of historic interest and the re-
markable work of Mrs, Maynard T.
Ladd in rebuilding faces.
Officials Of Red Cross organizations
| are urged to see the manager of their
local picture theatre and insist upon
his arranging with the distributors
of Red Cross films, i. e., The General
Film Company, to contract for this
series.
| If the exhibitor is made to realize
that these pictures are in demand, he
will undoubtedly be glad to procure
them, especially upon the reasonable
terms that are now being quoted. If
committees are formed by the organ
izations to call upon exhibitors, it
will simplify the arrangement for the
Red Cross performances. In no way
can the general public be shown SO
effectively the wide scope of activi-
ties of the American Red Cross, More
now than before the armistice was
signed, it is necessary to keep up in
terest in the heavy tasks ahead.
Thousands of convalescent Ameri.
can soldiers have been aided in theil
recovery and helped to forget the wal
on hospital farms the American Rec
Cross is operating at twenty French
hospital bases. Furthermore, the lat
est report of the farm and garden sec
ton shows that the produce they rails
ed represented a paper profit of NOR
than 100000 francs.

SOLDIERS CIVIL RIGHTS.

The soldier in the United States
service has certain rights which he
and his family should know. When
you get back from the army if you
find that the court has rendered a
judgment against you, do not worry
about it. You still have a chance to
be heard if you apply to the court in
person or through an attorney, with
in 80 days after your discharge. The
court may stay any judgment against
you or your property. If payments on
a mortgage have been overdue, the
property cannot be foreclosed until
three months after you have been dis
charged. Your taxes or assessments
may have become overdue. If your
family filed a statement of the case,
the property would not be sold for
unpaid taxes. Even if such sale was
made you can redeem the property by
paving six per cent interest. This
must be done within six months after
the presidents proclamation that the
war is over. The Red Cross home
service will be glad to advise you on
these matters. Debts contracted be-
fore you went into the army are still
due, with interest, and you will, OF
course, pay them as 500 as you are
able to do so. All our government
guarantees is that your absence on
military service will not count against
you in court. If you are proving up
on a homestead your time in the army
counts as time spent on the homestead
