Wood for Fuel

Many farms have available large
quantities of timber, fallen and
otherwise, which the farmer can
profitably convert into fuel for the
coming winter if he will provide
himself with the necessary power
operated equipment. A large
amount of labor required in prepar
ing firewood has kept many farmers
from using wood for fuel. but with
high prices for coal it behooves the
thrifty farmer to consider the ad.
vantege of investing in wood
saving machine which will make it
possible to utilize much timber on
his land at a relatively small ex.
penditure of labor. A great many
farmers already have gasoline en-.
gines suitable for driving such a
machine. The latter is compare
lively inexpensive. One outfit can
do the work for several farmers
each year. and the purchase of q
comeplete outfit. including an en-
gine. to furnish power may be
profitable for group of farmers or
for one who is a position to do a
certain amount of work for his
neighbors.

The Death Penalty

The capital punishment law, en-
acted at the special session of the
M issOuri Legislature last July, is
gain in effect. Since June, 1917,
the extreme penalty in this state
b ad been life sentence in the peni.
Tertiary.
Restoration of the death penalty
by the last legislature, which had
% cen convened only to ratify the
federal suffrage amendment, result.
ed from public clsmor for an effec-
tive means to stop violent crimes,
Governor Gardner refused at first
to permit the legislature to re.enact
the capital punishment law, which
had been abolished by the Whitaker
Bill of 1917, because the matter had
not been included in the call for
he special session.
The new law merely re.enacts
the law as it was before 1917.
Execution of the death penalty
must be in the county where the
crime was committed.
Capital crimes now are murder
rape, treason, train robbery, kidnap-
ping and perjury in capital cases.

REGULAR VOTE
DECLINES AFTER
SAT. MARCH y

The first decline in the value of
regular votes on paid subscriptions to
the daily and weekly Times-Recorder
will take effect after the coming Sat
urday. The big drive for the collec-
ton of subscriptions-past due, paid
in-advance and from new subscribers
is going strong with numerous Ia
dies bidding for votes, and the very
best time to secure the highest vote
that will be offered during the entire
campaign is this week. If your sub
scription is past due it is your per
fectly good privilege to pay it some
time during the week up to 10 o'clock
the coming Saturday night, when more
votes will be issued on it than can be
gotten on the same amount of sub
scription again. If you are paid up a
few weeks, months or a year in ad-
vance, there is no reason why you
should not move up your date little
further and kill two birds with one
stone. Don't fail to get these votes
in for some deserving and enterprising
lady.
The saving of the coupons from the
paper and the paying of subscriptions
requires but little time and effort and
those who are not saving the coupons
every day are urged to begin now.
This is also pay-up week and every
one who can possibly do so is invited
and requested to get in their paid sub
scription not later than the coming
Saturday Do not wait for the ladies
to call on you for a subscription, but
pay it and place the vote to the credit
of your choice of the nominees. 1t
will, no doubt, be very much appre-
ciated by them.
While the regular vote will decline
after Saturday, March %, 1919, the
extra votes of 100000 offered for a
club of $4,000 is good for two weeks,
up to and including Saturday, March
90. A yearly subscription to the daily
this week $500, secures 10000 regu-
lar votes, but only 10000 next week;
but the amount will apply on the club
of $40 if paid either this or next week
and will secure the same extra votes.
The loss comes in the regular vote Of
fered on the payment of all classes of
subscriptions from three months up to
two years to the daily and one or
two years to the weekly.
Save the coupons and pay a sub
scription this week.

When Neil came home to dinner, L

obvious, yet he seemed not at all elat-
ed because of that, but on account OF
something deeper-more permanent.
was tingling with resentment. He
had spent hours, the day before, call
ing on Blanche orion; how did l know
that he had not been there again that
afternoon? He ate very little dinner
but emptied his glass several times.
And he talked, talked gaily, as per-
son talks when something which has
caused their anxiety, is done with.
When l begged him not to drink any
more he became repentant, and push
ed his glass away. Then, as we slipped
our coffee, he told me little-1ust
enough to give me hint as to the
cause of his troubled actions of the
past few days.
That damned Scott thought he was
mighty smart, he said, apropos OF
nothing. 1 fairly held my breath, hop
ing he would go on.
What did he do?' 1 could wait no

"No-what made you think it was
