BABY SWIMS IN A BATH TUB.
Sarah Ruth Holman, Nine Months Old,
Bids Fair to Out Shine Annette
Kcllerman.
fulton SUM- J

Fulton folks who have witnessed
Sara Ruth Holman, nine-months-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. /. w. Hoi-
man, swim around in the bath tue
at the Holman home ARE of the opin-
ion that she will some day rival the
famous Annette Kellerman, regarded
as the champion woman swimmer and
diver of the world. Besides, the stunt
of the little girl is about as unique
and funny as ever seen anywhere.
Mrs. Holman merely holds her hand
under Sara's chin and she disports
herself to her hearts content, using
her feet and arms to propel herself
around in the water. 1t was really an
accident that resulted in the discov-
cry of the little tots desire and ability
as a swimmer and it happened when
she was six months old. Mrs. Holman
one day put her in the large bath tub
which was partially filled with water
and she noticed that thcchildwas unus,
ually active in handling herself in the
water. Instinct seemed to tell Mrs
Holman that she wanted to swim s.
she just held her up and the child Ia.
been swimming cvcr since.

MEXICO WILL FEEL
COAL MINERS STRIKE
Enough Fuel in Town to Last Week or
Ten Days Only. Schools
Have Enough

The coal miners strike became eff
fective at midnight November 81. For
a week Mexico may not feel any APP
preciable results of the walk-out OF
soft coal miners, but after that time
there will be evidences of the fact. No
coal yard in town has any surplus coal
on hand; one yard has just received
a shipment of two carloads, but this,
along with the smaller amounts in the
other yards, is already sold, in small
lots. The coal dealers report that
their customers, for the most part,
have scarcely any supply of coal stor-
ed.
The brick plant has enough on hand
to run the most of next week, and after
that time if relief is not immediate, 1t
will have to close down, as it is i'm
possible to fire the bricks without coal.
The Power Company has enough
fuel to last perhaps ten days and
enough on the road to last three or
four weeks; but that in transit now
cannot be depended upon, as the Gov
eminent has issued an order to the eff
feet that the railroads may comman-
deer all of such coal needed. The only
hope Of a solution of the situation, pro-
vided there is no relief before the ten
days are up, is that the Power Com
pany may get special consideration
because of the fact it is a public util-
ity.
The city schools, according to L. b.
Hawthorne, have plenty of coal to last
until spring.
The poorer class of people in Mexico
are expected to feel the need of coal
more than any others, as they have no
coal stored, and after a few days will
not bcablc to get any from the coal

NEW EGG LAW.
Eggs Must be Cardlcd the Entire Year
From Jan. ! to Dec. 81.

The law of this State controlling
traffic in eggs was passed for the pur-
pose of taking out of commerce eggs
unfit for human food. The Legislature
passed two separate laws, House Bill
GIT known as the UNIFORM GOOD
EGG LAW, and Hous Bill 1873 known
as the EGG BREAKING LAW, con-
trolling Egg Breaking Establishments.
Both of these acts forbid the keeping,
offering for sale, storing, shipping or
HAVING IN YOUR POSSESSION
eggs that are unfit for human food,
unless they are cased and sealed with
proper identifying strips to be shipped
to TANNERS FOR TANNING PUR-
POSES only, or broken in the shell
and denatured. A small amount Of
coal oil added to these eggs renders
them unfit for huamn food and does
not prevent them from being used for
stock or poultry. EVERY PERSON
FIRM OR CORPORATION engage
ED IN THE BUSINESS OF BUYING
EGGS IN THIS STATE FOR RE-
SALE OR CONSIGNMENT SHALL
PROVIDE AND MAINTAIN AN
ADEQUATE PLACE FOR THE
PROPER HANDLING OF EGGS
WHICH ARE INTENDED FOR
HUMAN FOOD. A complete and &C
curate Gambling record must be kept n
such form as will show when and
where and for whom the eggs were
candled, how many were in the ship

eggs as we'll as disposition of good

DISMISSED BY SUPREME COURT.
Four Cases Appealed From Audrain
County Fail in Prosecution.

Circuit Clerk E. F. Elliott has had
returned to him from the Supreme
Court in jefferson City four cases
which had been appealed from this
county but which the Supreme Court
dismissed for want of prosecution.
The cases are: Ella Pierce ct al VS..
]. NJ. Lazear ,et al; Missouri Savings
Bank VS.. Elizabeth Atkinson; Archie
Jenkins ct al VS.. Margaret jenkins;
J.. W. Jameson ct al VS.. James C. Jen-
kins ct al.
1t is not very probable, according to
Mr.. Elliott, that the Supreme Court
will reinstate the cases.
Three thirty-day suits have been
filed with the circuit clerk since the
last day for filing such suits to be tried
in the November term of court. They
will appear on the next docket but
will be continued wei until the next
term of court.

partitution suit against Mary E. Ut

THIRTY-NINE SCHOOLS
IN AUDRAIN COUNTY
ARE ON APPROVED LIST
Almost Forty Per Cent of Rural
Schools Meet State Requirement
For Approval

Thir+y-nine of the ninety-eight rural
schools in Audrain county are now on
the approved list, according to Ed c,
Offutt, county superintendent of
schools. This list, however, is not COM
plete, and it is possible, Mr.. Offutt
says, that there are a few which have
lately fulfilled the requirements

list.
To be an approved school eleven re-
quirements must be met: term must
be at least eight months in length.
teacher must hold a certificate higher

the School Board Convention law, STATE
School Board Convention law, the state
course of study must me followed, or
ganization must be satisfactory, build
ings must be adequate and sanitary
room must be heated by a system
which provides for a circulation of all,
teacher must do reading circle work,
library must contain 100 specified
volumes and a total of 80 out a pos
sible 100 points must be earned.
The plan for the approval of rural
schools was promulgated in 1909.
Nearly 900 schools in the state Of Mis-
souri, have been placed on the approved
list and more are being added every
year.

Miss Bessie Thomas has accepted a
position as nurse in n hospital at
K~ingsville, Texas, and leaves for that
