Rirthday Party

Handsome Miss Charlie Wright
was a full year older Monday
night and to commemorate the
event, she had about 20 of her
girl friends to assist in the cele-
bration of the happy event as
they each and everyone did her
part in the jollities, dancing,
cavorting, singing, impromptu
charading, playing for the dane
es and imparting their PARTIAL
ties for certain soldier boys, like
wise at the lunch disposal.
Numerous souvenirs were
showered on the charming little
hostess and compliments on her
powers of entertaining, but
there was one or rather, several,
additions lacking; boys. A crouch
seems to have struck many Of
the boys because they were left
out but this was a pullet party
strictly and they just as well
get over missing the post office,
handkerchief, blind man and
ring around the rouses presented
Anyway, had they been allowed
On the premises, there would
have been a row over the pretty
hostess.
Best wishes for many such
happy birthdays for Miss Charlie.

Farm Bureau Notes
By Sam Jordan
The Meeting Saturday

The weather was pretty cold
Saturday, but the roads being
good we had nice turn out at
our Farmers Meeting. The
matter of Boys and Girls Calf
Clubs and Pig Clubs was ex-
planned.
There were a few sheep gEow-
ers present, all indicated the de-
sire to form an organization. II
was decided to meet at Keytes-
vile at 1920 a. m. on February
2lst for the purpose of forming
a permanent organization. D.
A. Spencer, Sheep Specialist
from Columbia, will be present
to explain in detail the benefits
of such an organization and the
general methods of procedure.
1t is hoped that every sheep
grower in the county will make
an effort to be present. 1t was
decided that a letter should be
directed to the Secretary of all
Farm Clubs of the county urging
them to take the initial steps in
forming the Boys and Girls
Clubs.
Treating oats for smut was
talked about as was the terrac-
ing of the hills to prevent soil
washing. A model of a terraced
hill was used in the explanation
and we are anxious as soon as
arrangements can be perfected
to do a piece of terracing il each
community of the county. When
a person once sees this work
done he can go home and do the
work himself.
Several other important matt.
ers were talked about and the
meeting in general was very
satisfactory indeed, as we feel
whenever a large number of
the farmers in the community
can get together a better under
standing of each other results,
and common good is sure to fol-
low.

French Wives

1t is estimated that more than
200, 900 of our beys. who went to
France will wed French girls.
Many of the BOYS will likely
make their homes in France but
the great majority will return to
their own country and of course
the chance for an American girl
is just that much less. 1t is said
that the French girls are not
only thrifty and domestic, but
they are duly submissive which
latter trait it fast disappearing
from the young women on this
side of the globe. However they
can console themselves with the
thot that tho they lost a voter,
they may have a vote, no matter
how much the difference against
them. The American boy who
did not go to war for whatever
reason, is beginning to shy at a
domestic tie-up with the pro
gressive girl" who is independ-
ent.

The Cemetery Benefit

The ameteur Ministries from
Salisbury, high school boys, cap
tured our community last Friday
night with their black face per-
formance, largely for the benefit
of the cemetery fund.
The Glee Club, as it is called,
is composed of Tom Richardson,
Marvin Wright, Allen Phelps,
Leroy Friend, Fred Ehrhardt,
Everett Bean and Jno. Atherton,
with Bean as Mr.. Johnson and
Leroy Friend and Marvin Wright
as bones, but as principal and
shorenutf funny man, Allen
Phelps.
The house would have held a
few more but not many, and we
have heard but one or two who
did not profess to enjoy the per.
formers to the utmost. Especial
ly true is this of the high school
and other youngsters and jokes.
Il was indeed a surprise to all
who attended and a pleasant sur
prise, and if the nigger wigs and
black faces are billed here again
with the assurance of an entire
change of program, new songs
and dances and jokes, the Ameri.
can wont hold the crowd desir.
GUS Of spending an enjoyable
evening.

A Deaf Bunco Man

A 'feller' rushed iuto our office
last week, rushed around the
various rooms and was buster
than we thot necessary but not
quite industrious and persuasive
enough to bunco US out of a big
ad as he did one of the other
county papers not a hundred
miles west.
He wanted to sell one of our
druggists a barrel of Carb-o.lene
for spot cash. Neither bit hard
lily smelt Of the bait. A big ad,
poorly written, was handed in
after he failed to sell but was
laid aside awaiting tha price in
cash for printing, and, is still
waiting.
The 'feIler' if not deaf, played
the extremely rd-of-hearing
stunt pretty well, but he could
spout with his mouth to any
tune. He was at Salisbury some
time ago and gave a druggist
there bogus check which the
same was collected on from the
teller when he showed up in
the city Tuesday. He had big
business for the P. S. but it was
cash or no publicity for Carb-o.
lene and hence no ad appeared
last week in that paper.
The 'feller' who never men.
toned his name to Us, Is a clum.
sy imitation crook and if Carb.
olene is no better for lice exter.
mination than he is at buncoing,
hens would not stand for a seconC
dose on their roosts any quicke,
than we will for a loss of time
writing to him to make him hear
if he shows up again, even with
the sponduliX.

James ]. Ward

James ]. Ward died Of kidney
trouble at his home in Webb City
Friday and his remains were
brought to this city for inter-
ment Sunday. He was born in
this county Aug. 1853, the oldest
Of a large family of children and
known to nearly every one, a
genuine field sportsman and full
of practical jokes, many in the
county, especially about this
neighborhood having nick-names
Jim gave them, fitting the victim
with a name suggestive of a
caricature of himself and suit
able to such an extent in most
cases that the nicknamed could
not shake it with pleas, fists,
bribes or a display Of disgust.
About 1880 Jas. Ward was
united in marriage to Mrs. En-
ma Redding at the home of the
bride in as pretty parlor as the
town could boast, M. W. Ander-
son and J. L. Dewey, life long
friends of the deceased being
present, and Rev. McElroy unit
ing the couple.
About IL years ago the family
moved to south west Missouri
and have resided there since,
making occasional visits to rela-
tives in this city and neighbor-
hood. Miss Maggie Redding, a
STEP p-daughter cf deceased and
his widow accompanied the re
mains and at about l O'Clock in
terment at city cemetery, Rev,
Davis conducting short services.
There was a total misunderstand-
ing of the arrangements for the
funeral, many expecting servic-
es at the Methodist church, but
instead the hearSe proceeded
direct to the cemetery and be-
fore many of the deceased old
friends were aware of it, the
funeralwas over
Some day we will undertake to
give a short synopsis of the life
of jim Ward, his good points and
funny-man stunts. He has
friends all over the country who
knew him here and many who
have cause to remember him
gratefully.

Many senators and congress
men should provide themselves
with parachutes to lessen the
jar when they hit the earth in
their political tumble.
Thareport of supt. Jno, Rogers
made to the county court is one
of the best sh1wings of manage
ment Of such institutions in the
state. John applied good bust
ness principles and good farm
ing methods to the running of
the institution and he kept
all inmates well fed, cleanly
quartered and busy at whatever
either could do; if no more than
for exercise. The expense to
the county was but little more
than $400 over and above what
he realized from the products Of
the place. We congratulate the
county on having such a superin-
tendent and compliment the sup.
erintendent On his attainment.

William II. Taft is one OF the real big

enough to rise above personal pride,
pique and egotism. In the critical
hours following the declaration Of war
against Germany, no voice was more
potent than his in rallying to the sup

the American people, and during the en-
