BONNIE TERRE POLICE
ARE BIG BRAVE MEN (?)

Ten young ladies comprising the
basket ball team of DeSoto High
School, accompanied by Prof. E. Dear
dorf, went to Flat River last Friday
evening to play game with the high
school team of that place. Our girls
had a nice time at Flat River and
were treated with all respect and cour-
tesy that ladies and gentlemen usual
ly accord one another.
The road to Flat River runs through
Bonnie Terre, city of many good peo-
pie, a greater many of bootleggers
and thugs, and two great GU big CD
honest-to-goodncss CD things!!! that
call themselves policemen" one hav-
ing the audacity to refer to himself
as chief. Oh, glory!
Our young ladies were singing a
school song when passing through
Bonnie Terre enroute to Flat River.
Home folks often pay out real money
to hear these young ladies sing, and
enjoy it, but the musical notes emit
ting from their throats on this occa-
sion, Jared the sensitive, booze
soaked nerves of these policemen
and THEIR PEACE WAS DIS
TURBED. Amt that just terribly
awful!
Returning, when they reached the
City of Bootleggers, a policeman"
stopped them and informed the party
they were "pinched." Mr.. Dearborn
inquired as to the charge and was told {:
"Your tail light amt burning" But
when the officer was shown that the
light was burning, he changed the
charge to disturbing the peace. Then
the "chief" came up. The officers took
Dearborn and young Hardin, the
chauffeur, into a building and acted
as judge and jury, agreeing to con-
tinue the case until the following day
if CASH bond of $500 were put up.
When informed they lacked $1.48 of
having the $500, "the chief" put a
fine of $14.80 against them and told
'em to pay up or go to Jail. They paid
up and were permitted to come home.
The affair is not ended. Parents of
the young ladies have employed at
torneys to investigate the whole pro-
ceeding, and to file criminal and civil
suits against the officers and the city

Former Mayor of
Birmingham, Ala,
Endorses Tanlac
you viii Hardly Knox Me When We
Meet Again; for l Am Getting
Well" He Writes Friend.

One of the latest additions to the
list of leaders of thought and action
who have come forward with their
unqualified endorsement of Tanlac is
the name of Hon. Frank V. Evans,
former Mayor of Birmingham, Ala,
eX-State Examiner of Public Accounts
of Alabama, and at one time editor of
the South's greatest newspapers
The Birmingham Age Herald.
Writing to personal friend in At
lanta, Mrs. Evans says:
Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 2.
"....... BY the way, you will hard
ly know me when we meet again, be-
cause | am getting well and strong
again. AS ! told you while in Allan
ia last month, have been suffering a
long time with gastritis, as the doc
tors call it-really disordered stom-
ach with consequent constipation,
pains in the shoulders, headache,
belching, heartburn, loss of appetite,
loss of sleep, and fainting spells. For
weeks | could not sleep on my back.
"One week ago, upon recommended
ton of friends, who had tried the med
icine, l purchased one bottle of Tanlac
and began taking it. Since my sec
ond dose ! have suffered none of these
troubles to which / refer, and really
believe | am going to get perfectly
well and strong again. Won't that be
wonderful at my age? Well, certain
it is that Tanlac is a wonderful med
icine, and you know that I am not
given to putting mere experiments
and am rather orthodox as to materia
medical"
81 shall continue the treatment
with perfect confidence in the final re-
suits"
Signed, Frank V. Evans"
Commenting on this splendid en-
dorsement of Tanlac, G. F. Willis, In
ternational Distributor of Tanlac,
said:
although the list of prominent en-
dorsers is long one / recall few
leading names that lend both dignity
and credit to the entire array. Some
of them are:
"Hon. C. w. Mangum, of Atlanta,
Ga, for three terms Sheriff of Full

perintendent of Printing for the State
of Kentucky; Mr.. c. c. Cooper, Pres

TURKISH ATROCITIES

1t may not be generally known that
Armenia was at heart an ally of the
nations fighting Germany. The Turks
claimed this from the beginning and
the Germans approved the Turkish at
titude. When Enver Pasha and the
others of that red-handed crew at Con-
stantinople proposed to "settle the Ar
menian question" by massacreing the
entire Armenian nation, Ambassador
Wangenheim and Gen. Liman Won
Sanders of the German army approved
the bloody program.
The Turks asserted that the Arme-
mans were aiding Russia, and saw to
it that Armenian regiments were driv-
en- to slaughter. This was not killing
them fast enough, so the Armenians
were disarmed and put to road build
ing and the Turkish soldiery was sent
to wipe out the Armenian villages,
country side and city.
"They are traitors to Turkey and
friends of the Allies, said the Turks,
when neutral nations, the little help
less neutrals, protested. 1t was the
Turks long-waited chance, his great
opportunity to wipe out a race he has
hated for thousand years. The world
was ablaze. France and England were
| fighting for their lives against the
friend of the Turks, the Kaiser of
Germany. Now was the hour to for
ever stamp out the last of this hated
breed of Christians. On this helpless
nation was loosed all the hot savag-
cry of the Turkish heart.
They succeeded so well that all of
the millions of Armenians, Of Greek
Christians and Assyrians in the Otto
man Empire, but 100000 were left
| alive when the Turks were forced to
surrender. A little more time and the
Moslem would have finished off the
last of his Christian and Jewish enc
mics.
These allies of ours are now starv-
ing. We must recall that the Turk
himself has said that they were our
allies. They must be helped if they
are to live. America is being asked to
give $30,000,000 to save their lives.
Seventy-four Eastern Missouri coun-
ties are asked to meet. 1t is fitting
that the whole nation should help in
this matter This Committee is doing
its best to sustain the stricken mil
lions, the survivors Of a nation that
has gone through a hell on earth, is
still living, but must die if help is not
given and given quickly. Missourians
in the seventy-four Eastern counties
will have the privilege of helping so
save their lives by contributing small
sums in the big campaign beginning
February 3, and ending February 10th.

COUNT SCHOOL NOTES

Reports from over the county indi-
cate that the "fiu" situation is again
becoming acute in many localities.
The Blackwell school has again had to
close and the probability is that sever
al other schools may soon lock their
doors. No worse Stacker exists than
the individual who persistently ig-
nores every precautionary measure
which he might adopt to arrest the
spread of the disease.
Mrs. O. w. Bleeck, County Chair
man Children's Code Commission, at
the request of the County Superin-
tendent has kindly prepared the fol-
lowing article relative to the work at
tempted and being done and the vision
Of that eminent body:
"The nation that twenty years from
now has the largest number Of ply
sically efficient children, equipped with
strong bodies and firm minds, will
lead the world.
"The young men who were brought
together under the draft law after our
entry into the war, were drawn from
every part of the country, and from
every phase of our social life, rich
and poor, student and laborer, city
bred and country bred, each and ev-
cry station gave its quota for our
vast National Army. And what an
indictment it is against our efficiency,
that so large proportion of these
boys, in their first youth, were re-
jected as physically unfit for train
ing, and how much heavier an indict-
ment against our educational system
that such vast percentage of those
who were accepted were actually il
literate--could not even understand
the simplest orders given in English.
Something must be done to alter
such conditions, and Missouri is one
of the first States in the Union to
take steps toward the correction of
existing evils.
"The Missouri Children's Code Com
mission has formulated a great num-
Der of bills, which when placed upon
our Statute Books as laws, will rem
edy many of the flaws in the social
fabric of the State. Included in the
Code are revisions of our laws relat-
ing to marriage, others for the proper
care of neglected, defective and de-
pendent children, our child labor laws,
and also of our present inadequate
school laws. Realizing that law is
worse than useless unless it is en-
forced, the Code also carries a bill
which provides for the proper admin
istration of these measures when they
shall have become part of our sta
tutes.
1t is the duty of every man and wo-
man in the community to familiarize
themselves with the Children's Code,
and to use every means in their power
to the end that the present Legisla-
ture shall accept the report of the
Commission, and that the Children's
Code shall become part of the sta
tutes of Missouri.
Every teacher should make it a part
of his or her duty not only to care
fully study the provisions of the Code,
but to so influence public opinion in
her community that our Legislators
may feel that the people are expect
ing them to be passed. Let us work
valiantly for these bills, so that Mis-
souri, may take her place as one of the
first States to adopt a complete Code
of excellent laws for the welfare of
her children"

enough for an overcoat any day since

evenings when go to the movies.
We have fine shows here every
night. Last night we had one 6-reel

picture. 1t was excellent, and three
reels of Charley Chaplin, in "Shoul-
der Arms"
Two nights ago we had a musical
comedy from N. Y, tonight we have
vaudeville from Washington, and
farewell picture tomorrow night; the
play entitled "Mary's Ankle" won
derful play, Friday night, and "May-

is the Officers Dance. And it don't
cost penny to see all this, and all
officers get reserved seats-"That's

have talked with several boys
that were in Walter LePere's COM
pany, and they all say he was an ex-
cellent soldier, liked by all and a real
man. He was cited many times for
heroic deeds, had won the French war
cross, and had he come out of the last
fight he was in he would have been
awarded the d. G. C. distinguished
Service Cross, the highest given any
one. But when his name was called
with others, who were to be cited to
receive the D. S. c., he was missing,
and no one knows what became of
him. That is about the account three
different men gave me of him.

Call in a Doctor,
Says Colonel Martin

Col Edward martin, the State
Commissioner of Health, is COM
moncing to get right after the peo-
pie because of the increase of diph-
iberia in Pennsylvania and to ex-
press his ideas rather forcitNy.
Deaths that have occurred from
diphtheria are due in most instances
to neglect" says he.
The Commissioner of Health is
instructing his county medical di-
rectors to arrange to appear before
county medical societies and present
the plea asking for cooperation of
physicians. Sixty per cent of diph-
iberia occurs in children of school
age; therefore, about 40 per cent of
all diphtheria cases do not come un-
der the observation of school physi-
clans, hence the cooperation OF pri-
vate physicians is essential.
The general public is urged to call
in a physician whenever a person in
a household is taken ill with a sore
throat or with n discharging nose or
symptoms of Group. Deaths that
have occurred from diphtheria are
due in most instances to neglect on
the part of parents. The preva-
lence of diphtheria would be enor-
mously reduced if every one exposed
