MIR. Roosevelt Said:
"Too Many Thrills -

You have had so many thrills, +"
telegraphed Franklin d. Roosevelt
Acting Secretary of the Navy. to Dus-
tin Farnum, sportsman and movie
star, that it would not seem fair to
others who have had none. I wish we
! could take you but only naval per-
sonnel can possibly be allowed in the
planes"
Mr.. Roosevelt's reference to thrills"
is explained by the text of Dustin
lFarnum's telegram of appeal to the
| Navy Department to include him in
the small number OF those who will be
selected by Comdr. John II. Towers
for the forthcoming transatlantic
! flight.
Mr.. Farnum's telegram to the de-
partment ran as follows: Have hunt
ed tigers India. Grizzlies in Rockies.
Moose in Maine. Taken aeroplane
flights. Raced my motorboat over
the Top Cannot resist asking your
good permission for q tiny place with
Comdr. Towers in transatlantic
flight
To further his petition Mr.. Farnum
made an appeal to Comdr. Towers to
support the application to Secretary
Roosevelt, and the aid of the Aero
Club OF America was sought through
w. l. Howard, its Washington repre-
sentative.
While Mr.. Farnum is gratified by
Secretary Roosevelt's words Il wish
we could take you," which were con-
! frtned in the official Navy Department
dispatch that followed Mr.. Roosevelt's $
| telegram, the screen star Is not con-
tent with the result of his recent ap-
plication but 10 said to be turning his
attention to the diriglbles to see If he

PHILIPS, FORMER U. S. JUDGE
FOR WESTERN MISSOURI,
IS DEAD
One Time Law Partner of Senator
Vest, Served in Congress
Twice,

Hot Springs, Ark, March 80
John F. Philips, former judge of the
United States Court for the Western
District of Missouri. died today al
the home of Col. S. w. Fordyce. near
this city. He was IS years old.
Judge Philips served in the Forty
fourth and Forty-ninth congresses
and at one time was law partner OF
United States Senator Vest of Mis-
souri,.
IF had my life to live over again,
/ would never accept public office.
The responsibility and criticism are
not worth the honor and the return.
Such was the comment of the jur-
list, lawmaker and soldier, upon retir-
ing in 1910 .as judge of the United
States District Court for the Western
District OF Missouri, alters having
served twenty-seven years on state
and federal benches, handing down
o3o opinions, OF which only thirty
two were reversed by higher courts.
Judge Philips was born December
81, 1884, in Boone County, Mo. He
was graduated from the University of
Missouri in 1853. and from Center
College, in Kentucky, in 1855. The
following year he entered the law OF
flee of Gen. John B. Clark at Fay
cite, Mo-. and was admitted to the
bar in 1857. Judge Philips often said,
however, that most of his law read
ing was done under a locust tree on
his fathers Boone County farm.
With the opening of the war be-
tween the states Philips organized
the Seventh Missouri Cavalry and be-
came its colonel, serving throughout
the campaign. Soon after the war
ended Philips went to Sedalia and
formed a law partnership with Judge
Russell Hicks and the late United
States Senator Vest. Judge Hicks
retired in 1860.
Judge Philips was elected to the
Forty-fourth and Forty-fifth Con-
crosses, and when Vest was sent to
the Senate in 1873 the firm was dis
solved.
In 1883 Judge Philips came to Kan
sas City and was named commits
sioner of the Missouri Supreme
Court. He became one of the judges
of the Kansas City Court of Appeals
in 1885 and in 1888 President Cleve-
land appointed him Judge of the Unit
ed States District Court. He retired
from the federal bench June rs, 1910.

Prosperity in Bates County.

The prosperity of a community is
usually judged by the amount OF
money on deposit in its financial in
situations and taking that as stand
ard Bates county might well be
called one of the most prosperous
sections of the state. According to
the financial statements of its banks
and trust companies ,on March Ist,
there was on deposit in the II insti-
tutions in the county $5,6oI ,oo5.09'
TIE resources of the institutions were
given as $7,2ss.oz8.oo. When it is
considered that the county is almost
entirely an agricultural county and
that much the larger part of this
money belongs to the farmers. i: will
be seen that the man who owns .
good Bates county farm is FORUM
ate individual.

Advertising Pays.

A Nevada merchant relates how he

store building of $40 a month. He

advertising and the first year he
was in business his profits amounted
to $4,000, largely a result of judicious
