$1o1, $4,000 Increase in U. S. Public
Debt.

Washington. September I8.-Fed-
cral guarantees OF railroad earnings
resulted in all increase in the public
debt of $IoI.755,ooo during August.
according to treasury figures showing
the nations gross debt to be $24,-
324,672,ooo.
Treasury records charge the in
crease in the public debt to an issue
of certificate OF indebtedness offered
August 10, sold to cover payment to
the railroads under the guarantee
provisions of the transportation act.
Advances to the carriers against
probable deficits during the month
were said by treasury officials to
have reached nearly 100000, 900, and
on this basis they figured there
would have been a slight reduction
in, the public debt had not the earn
ings guarantee been in effect.
Payments to the roads in August
do not correctly indicate the amount
to which they will be entitled when
a final accounting for the six months
period over which the guarantee ex-
teaded is made, it was added.

Irish Police Burn Town and Bayonct
Two Men to Death.

Dublin, September 21.-Auxilary
police forces last night wrecked the
town Of Baibriggan, near here, i'll re-
taliation for the shooting OF two
police Officers there earlier in thu
evening, when District Inspector
Burke was killed and his brother,
Sergt. Burke, was seriously wound
ed.
Two civilians were shot dead and
several persons wounded. Many
houses were set on fire and the larg-
est hosiery factory in Ireland, belong
ing to an English firm, was de-
stroyed.
This morning the town was in ter
ror. and streams of refugees in all
sorts OF vehicles were abandoning the
place for neighboring villages.
Shortly after midnight uniformed
men appeared n.the streets, evident
ly bent on reprlsals for the shooting
of the police officials. They ilnme d.
lately proceeded to wreck the town.
The public houses were entered and
set on fire as well as numerous private
houses, whose occupants were given
little time to dress before the build

Fake Oil Promoters.

The County Agents office just re-
ceived information through the Blue
Sky Committee of the State of Mis-
souri,, about several fake oil selling
schemes that are being promoted
throughout the state. These pro-
motors are using certificates of sale
offering the. names of the leading
farmers of the county. thereby lead
ing; innocent men of moderate cir
cumstances into the trap. Bates
County has not yet had great deal
OF experience with these, but the
agent just recently entered a territory
i'll the southern part of the county
where these oil stocks were being
sold, and we find that it is very in-
portant that the farmers look into
the matter before investing in any
companies securities. If you will re-
iuse to buy stock in this company UNI
less the promoters have signed state
ments from the county agent or from
some one whom you know it may
save ycu several dollars.
Farmers OF Bates County let this
be warning and also let the Bates
County Farm Bureau save you in
attempting at least to determine
whether these concerns are sound
or not.

WOMEN ARE ELIGIBLE
To be Appointed Judge and Clerks
of Election:

Attorney General McAliister held
today that women are eligible to be
appointed judges and clerks of cleo
ton in all parts of the State, save
Kansas City and St. Louis. The rul-
ing of the Attorney General was the
result of an inquiry from the prose-
cutting attorney of St. Francois coun-
ty. The election laws applicable to
the two large cities in the State are
different in many respects from those
applying to other parts of IKE State.
and moreover, an opinion has not
been sought from those cities on the
subject and as matter of fact, the
Judges and clerks for both of these
cities have been selected. The Attor-
ncy General said that his opinion is
not intended to apply to the election
laws concerning the two largest cities.
OF the State. but it does apply to all
ether parts of the State.
There is no question, he says, but
what women are eligible to be ap-
pointed judges and clerks OF election
if they are resident citizens OF the
precincts and possess the qualfica-
tons OF being able to read and write
Exactly the same qualifications will
apply to women as have applied for
years to men.-Jefferson City Dem
