MUST CONSERVE CAME AT ONCE

Free shooting and fishing must not be allowed to disappear; for directly thereon rest not only the health and happiness of thousands of our citizens, but in a large measure, our national security No one doubt that as na- rtion we must always depend upon the virility of our young manhood. ! Major General Hugh l.. Scott strong .ly urges that both state and federal aid be given to every legitimate move ment to, make attractive and perpet- suate our outdoor interests.
 - Hunting and fishing he places in the front rank of outdoor sports which he believes was one of the greatest factors in making it possible for Uncle Sam to crosS the seas with an army capable fof standing the strain and acquitting themselves as our boys did [ General Scott knows whereof he speaks Retired under the age limit, his robust body and keen mind per- mitted him to jump back into harness at his countrys call. He credits his fitness to the clean outdoor life he has led.
 Conserve the Game
 The most important thing to keep in mind is the sensible conserving of the
 
 section of the country must be allow ed to over indulge it's natural wish to take game or fish to its own detriment or to that of another section. 1 Whether we perpetuate a species by artificial breeding and distribution, or | by common sense restrictive legisla- tion, is not the point. The fact is that each and every American species must Ibe saved and increased to numbers permitting at, least some shooting | We cannot afford to delay or bubble | over doing thing that must be done 1 The incentive to go afield being pro- vided, some place to go must be fur 1 nished. The federal government the | states. associations or philanthropic | individuals should set aside at once as many public hunting preserves as possible. This duty is the duty of the state but the state is an abstract term ! It is up to the citizens to start the bal rolling.
 Everyone Should Help.. Marshes are being drained and l thickets cleared to provide more grair and incidentally more dollars to some individuals. Now is the time to buy while much territory can still be Dur. chased at low figure Again, tht question is not who shall provide, bu the fact that some territory for pub. lie shooting and fishing must be pro. yided. All interested should put theil shoulders to- the wheel and help. This does not mean simply sports.

The Trirnmers were playing a good game of football but not good enough for the !Steamroners.

It's a Great Life Oh Boy!

We noticed short sketch in last
weeks paper regarding a package
of Missouri blue grass. Now, Ollie,
old boy, you we'll know we went ov-
er the top with the famous world
wide Jack rabbit story. Again we
do our bit by fastening back to the
tall blue grass. Now be sure your
collar buttons are through and
through and the expression in your
eyes stands firm for Decatur county,
this stalk of blue grass l am calling
your attention to was not delivered
by package, but came tastefully ar
ranged in an Easter basket. Just
what any Missourian would call real
blue grass after careful unwinding
and skillful measuring we find 1t to
be just ten yards long. making a
total of $50 inches in length. OF
course some Missouri guy may say
this sounds fishy, but we can back it
with all the wind it takes to write
it in such hot weather and we wish
to state the basket was gayly dec
Grated in all the latest colors. The
grass which will break all records
was peeping out in proof of the best
blue grass producing county on the
globe. The basket was purchased at
Leon, Iowa, in old Decatur county.
It's a great life. Ollie, for the h1is-
sourian if he doesn't weaken in
search for tall blue grass.

J. F.. Newlin and Son Grover Attack.
ed by Vicious Farm Hand.

The following account of a vicious
attack made by an employe on their
farm on j. F. .Newlin and son Grov--
er, former we'll known residents OF
tSe WeoSsnS GhaFdkee tevq0fR 0fa K abH from
June goth. Both of the gentlemen
have many friends in Decatur county
years. who will be glad that their
injuries are not serious.
J..- F. Newiin and son Grover,
prominent farmers rs residing 1,Iaro seven s4
tackled by farm hand working on
their place last Friday evening and
both we're cut with a knife he sway
ed frantically with evident intention
to do as much damage as possible.
The father j. F. Newlin, was cut
across the chin and the son, Grover,
was slashed about, the arms.
Teator Antony, has been working on
the place for some time, and in the
afternoon of the trouble had had
some difficulty with one of the
young boys on the place. The New
Inns realizing that the man had a
bad disposition told him to come to
the house ana receive his his check nee sarN ana
ices. Upon this statement he made
dash for them with an open knife;
and before he could be interferred
with sby the men standing close he
thad injured both of them, though
not severely
He Immediately made his escape
and nothing has been heard of him
since that time. He had on deposit
here with the Farmers National
Bank about five hundred dollars,
which has been guarnisheed, and
will be held by the authorities,
thinking. perhaps, that it will bring
| him back.
The Newlins are not injured to
any extent. although the wounds are
painful. The slash at the old gen
tleman only missed his throat a
very little and would no doubt have
proven fatal had it been a half inch

will soon be in operation, as the ice

big new engine had already been

factories will probably arrive today
to install the machinery. 1t is
hoped that the work of making ice
can be started within two weeks,
and everybody will be glad of it,
for ice is mighty hard to get these

MURDER and SUICIDE
James n. Sage Killed His Divorced
Wife and Committed Suicide
Near Alton Sunday Morning.

James N. Sage, aged about 45
years, shot and killed his divorced
wife, Mrs. j. G. Farnsworth, at her
home north of Alton about O'CLOCK
Sunday morning, and then turned
the revolver upon himself, shooting
himself in the head andfhe died an
hour or two later. The man VINO Q
did the shooting, had made all
preparations for the deed, as letters
were found on his pocket, addressed
to the Des Moines Register and
Tribune, instructions as to- the, un-
dertaker taking care Of his Dody,
and to notify his sister, Mrs. John
Woods at West Chester, Iowa, ana
to his attorneys at washington,
Iowa.
In his letter to the Register and
Tribune he told of his troubles, his
wife having secured divorce from
him and later married FarnsWorth
about the middle of last February.
From his letters it seems that sage
had evidently brooded over his
troubles for some, time, accusing 4 9
from him. Sage at one time lived
in Des Moines but had evidently
been wandering around the country
for some time, and his mind had
given away under the strain, until
he made up his mind to kill his
former wife and himself. He ap-
peared at the Farnsworth home
about o'clock Sunday morning, and
knocked at the door, and Mrs.
Farnsworth, who had been up with
her husband who was sick, went to
the door When she saw who was
at the door she returned to her
husband and told him, and he SAID
for her to ask Sage what he, wanted.
She called to Sage and asked him
if he meant to harm her and he
said he did not She lit a match
evidently to make a light and Sage
told her to put it out which she
did, and he then began shooting
through the screen door, one shot
striking Mrs. Farnsworth in the
heart and the other under the right
shoulder. At the first s9 shot her her
husband jumped out Of bed, put
was too late to save his wife VINO
fell dead at his feet. Sage immedi-
ately shot himself with the revolver,
and died an hour or so later.
There is no question but that
Sage was insane, and had carefully
planned the tragedy which he car
ried out. Sage's body was taken to
Alton to be cared for by an under
taker, and another undertaken was
called to the Farnsworth home to
prepare the body of Mrs. Farms
worth The deceased man was
brother of G. l.. Sage, of near Leon,
who went to Alton on the early
train Monday morning.
