Death of Mrs. W. G. MusgrOve.
Mrs. Anna Elizabeth Mus

Death of Mrs. W. G. MusgrOve
Mrs. Anna Elizabeth Mus
grove, wife of w. G. Musgrove
died Friday afternoon at 2 o.
clock at the home of her broth
er, Samuel |. Drysdale, Oil
Franklin street, after an illness
Of several months of heart dis
ease.
The deceased was born in Jes-
samine county, Kentucky, No
vember 23, 1S49, and came to
Lexington in 1852. She was a
graduate of the Baptist Female
College of this city, and had been
a lifelong member of the Bap-
tist church. On March %, 1879,
she was married to Mr.. Mus
grove, in this city. For the past
twenty years she and her hus-
band have lived in Kansas City,
but they were frequent visitors
to this city, where they had liv-
ed so long. Mrs. Musgrove had
been sufferer from heart dis
ease for about four years, and
for the past year and a half was
"a helpless invalid. They came to
Lexington last November, hop
ing that the change would be
beneficial, as it was for a few
weeks, but death had marked
her for his own, and she gradu-
ally lost strength and vitality
till she fingered on the brink of
the grave, and for the past five
weeks she was in danger of
death every hour. She was al
ways gentle and considerate, and
in her worst suffering never
failed to thank her nurse for any
help or courtesy. In her long and
painful sickness her faith in
Jesus never wavered, and she
never complained of her condi-
ton. A kind, gentle, loving and
beloved Christian woman has
gone to her reward.
Besides her husband, she is
survived by one brother and
three sisters, Samuel l., and
Misses Kate and Lillian Drys-
dale, all of this city; Mrs. R. S,
Cromwell of Kansas City, and
Mrs. E. L. Spurgeon of Sweet
Springs
The funeral was held from
the home, 911 Franklin street,
Sunday afternoon at 2::3O o.
clock. Rev. L. B. Arvin conduct
ed the services.

Keep The Dairy Utensils Clean

Utensils that come in contact
with milk or cream must be
kept perfectly clean. This pre-
caution should be observed thru
out the year, but especially dur
ing the warm weather, says the
University of Missouri College
OF Agriculture. Wash them by
first rinsing in cold water and
then by using hot water and a
brush. Washin g powder suitable
for use in the dairy should con-
tain no grease Ordinary sal-so-

rinse thoroly with boiling water
and place them where they viii
come in contact with the direct
rays of the sun, This place
should be free from flies.
In washing the large cans, be
sure that the inside of the
shoulder of the can is rubbed
with the brush, as this is the
most difficult part to clean.

Odessa Trims Lexington.

The Lexington Athletics met
their Waterloo Friday at the
celebration at Higginsville in the
game with the Odessa team. The
latter took the long end of an
9 to 2 score. Lexington played
poor ball and did not deserve to
win, but would have made bet
ter showing had the Umps (from
odessa made rightful guesses
in several instances.
In the fifth inning Governor
Gardner went into the box. The
batter knocked a grounder which
the Governor fielded to third,
instead of first, to catch the bat

JEFFERSON CITY LETTER
Legislature Ratifies Suffrage,
And Restores Capital
Punishment.
BY Means Ray


The extra session of the legis-
lature called by Governor Gard
ner for the purpose Of fatifying
the Susan B. Anthony amend
ment to the Federal constitution
extending suffrage to women a.
dopted the amendment without
delay.
There were a total of only sew
en- votes in both the Senate and
House against the resolution.
Predictions that some might
oppose the resolution were with
out the least foundation for no
sooner was the question brought
up in either branch than was it
adopted. The House required Is
minutes and the senate four.
One of the great surprises of
the extra session was the con-
tinued fight against the League
Of Nations headed by Speaker
Sam O'Fallon, of Holt County,
and Representative Hackett, of
Pettis county, both Republicans.
Their opposition came at a
dinner given by the suffrage
leaders and developed when a
movement was started to send a
message endorsing the plan of
a League of Nations to Presi-
dent Wilson and asking that he
speak in Missouri on his return
to this country.
During the regular session of
the Legislature the Republicans
spent much time fighting the
League of Nations.
Democratic leaders here state
thai for the Republicans to try
and longer claim that The
League 81 Natien Is nat a party
issue, IS useless AntA she belief
is stated that the next campaign
viii be made on such an issue.
The Democrats insist that Re-
publicans should offer some
plan of world peace, if they can't
get behind the League covenant,
or stop fighting what is offered.

cism among the Republican
members of the general assem-
bly,. They claim that it is hard

STORIES OF THE WAR
Saved a British General.

(By The Associated Press). Two American women were the means of saving British general and his aide from what appeared to be certain death at the hands of a hostile band of Montenegrins. according to a story told in Albania by the foreign colonies. The women are Miss Ella F. Mccoy ern. of Milwaukee, Wis, and Mrs. Maria Ford. of Indianapolis, Ind. field workers in the service of the American Red Cross. Major General G. P. Phillips, virtually military gov ernor for the British in Albania. and Captain P. T. Farrer, were the officers whose lives were spared by interven- tion of the women.
 The British general and his aide were proceeding north through Albania on a tour of inspection with the Amer jeans, and, without knowing it, had crossed the Montenegrin border. Sud denly, in a section resembling some what Yellowstone Park, a band of 6S Montenegrin soldiers stepped out Of a thicket and ordering them to halt levelled rifles at them. Believing he had reached an active fighting zone the general directed his chauffeur te turn around. But the Montenegrins re- fused to allow the car to go. The leader Of the band ordered the party to walk singie-file to point where they were in full view of every one oi the Montenegrins. who lowered theil guns and loaded them.
 The American women knew what 2 l price had been set by the Montene-
 grins on General Phillips head fol

TRARsPoRrlNe THE DEAD.

Try as this country has it has been unable to get any definite assurance from France that there will be any chance of an early return of the bod ies of those soldiers who are buried in France. Though we have been told that the hospital dead. meaning in- stances of death far back of the lines, could be brought back soon it has been impossible to get any encourage ment that 1t will be possible to bring back the others before 1922. In fact the assertion has been made that the removal of the dead will not be per nnifted until the same privilege is rranted to the French.
 It was only this month that the bodies of those who gave up their lives in northern Russia were brought back. It was in compliance with the wish of the relatives of the dead but after the burial services in several places in Indiana. Wisconsin and Mi chixan 1t was found that the body of one Indiana soldier had been sent tc wisconsin and the Wisconsin soldiers body had been forwarded to another point in Indiana, or a mixup that was mtst disturbing and meaning that the sotrowing relatives must go through ths burial services again.

iTHE FUEL DIRECTORS OFFER.

From the statement of Fuel Direc- tor Garfield to the bituminous coal miners 1t Is the intention of the gov ernment to do justice to all concerned. and in dealing out justice it is not a question of sympathy or sentiment. Fairness in accord with the facts is sought and that is what has led to the governments belief that the min CTS should receise an increase of IA per cent in their wages. That indi- cates that the previous offer made by the operators was most generous but apparently based upon the idea that there would be an increase in the sell tnE price of coal in order to make it up.
 In this contention the government "a giving consideration to the public. tAeretofore 1t has been a case of meet -hs demands and look to the consumer 70 make it'ap. Ibis course is not go- Ing to be permitted in this instance. SAe control of fnei by the government

 It IS his judgment. backed by the members of the cabinet, that the prof its Of the operators are such as to warrant the cutting down of them soflcient to meet this raise to the miners. In tho governments belief nom the statistics as presented by both sides the miners are entitled tn more money.

lYNcHINe IN ALAnAmA

During the week informa tion- has come from Alabama to the effect that 2 dozen men charged with participa- tion in the lynching of white man, who was taken from the jail by force and shot, have pleaded guilty to the Indictment and been fined from $100 to $500, which fines were of course paid. This attracts attention for two reasons. because it is an instance where the authorities were Inclined to and were able to arrest the lynchers, and because any participant in such 6 crime should receive such ridicu- lous punishment
 In the ordinary case of lynching lit tie or nothing is done to the guilty parties. Tho coroner's jury sits and declares that it has no knowledge as to who was responsible and that ends il. Everybody seems satisfied because in most cases It is a Negro who is put out of the way and because what ever public opinion or the sentiment of the better class may be nothing further is done.
 In this, casei however. it was a " lllAC AlItbli lltSlG1O O1 d -NeSIO MllO was lyrched. It apparently made a difference and because of that differ ence it was possible to ferret out those who were responsible and to bring them before the court. But SC thoroughly does the crime of lynching seem to be accepted in that part of the country that though a fellow being had been killed. deliberately murdered in cold blood, the punishment that was thought fitting for those who partici- pated was a small fine. Human life must be held pretty cheap in Alabama as must also respect for law and or der when court is willing to order the taking of money for the breaking of the law through the commission ot deliberate murder It is true that il is more than is done fin most cases o1 lynching but this seems to be so onl1 because it was a white man who wa: killed rather than a black man.

USING WAR PLANTS.

Just what is going to become of the shipyards that came up like mush- rooms in order to meet the demands of this country for ships is question that has been bothering many sec tions. When large industrial plants are standing idle, when the production of more goods is what the country needs it is only natural that there should be uncertainty as to the future of shipyards. particularly those in their infancy for it can be expected that the well established plants will find plenty of business for a long time to come.
 In this connection it is interesting to note that one of the shipyards, a war product, up in New Hampshire has been acquired by dye and chem ical concern at which point this bus mess will be established and develop ed. and it is declared that the officials of the emergency fleet corporation will endeavor to get Philadelphia to pre- vent the big shipbuilding plant at Hog Island from going to the scrap heap, but the claim is that it must be hlSpOsEu Ol D1 AlGAI August OI IL VIII be necessary to put it under the ham mer.
 This shipyard Is a larger proposition to handle than many of the others. It cost the government S6e, ,0o0, 900 to build and should it be sold at a price corresponding to that for which the s70O00,O0o war city of Nitro. West Virginia, went only about SS,000,00O could be expected from it. Whether Philadelphia undertakes the proposi- ton or not it is not believed that il will go to decay. There will be those who will see opportunities there for some use even though it can be ex- pected that shipbuilding operations will be greatly reduced The utiliza tion of the many plants made neces- sary by the war will come even though conditions are embarrassing such at the present time.
