niversary of the couple. Early Fri
day evening the guests began to
gather in the fower-decked rooms OF
the Lilley home to shower ~congratula-
tons and wishes for as many more
years of welded bliss upon the
honorees. Later, when all of the

B. F. Pogue, who somewhat myster-
iously disappeared from his home at
Roselle on the night of August 18th
was arrested in st. Louis last week
and brought to Ironton Wednesday
night by Sheriff Blue. The following
day he was arraigned before Squire
Knight in Arcadia on the charge OF
concubinsge; the defendant waived
examination and gave bond In the
sum of 1000 to answer the charge at
the October term of circuit court.
1t is alleged that when Pogue left
home he took with him Mamie Spitz-
miller, the ffteen-year-old daughter
of Mike Spitzmiller, a neighbor. To-
gether they travelled in a car to Rolla,
Springfield, Joplin and then back
acoss the state to st. Louis where
they arrived the night of the 21st.
In the week they had travelled con-
siderably more than 5000 miles. On
reaching st. Louis Pogue telegraphed
his wife. This was the tip that in
formed Sheriff Blue of his where
abouts. He at n got in touch with
the police and had Pogue arrested.
Pogue's wife promptly responded to
his telegram and met him In st.
Louis. On being released here Thurs
day he went home with his family.
The Spitzmiller girl has also returned
home.

YOUR HOME AND you.
Telephone Comfort.

Did you ever notice how often, in
homes that otherwise are swathed in
comfort from furnace to box springs,
there is no comfortable place In which
to use the telephone. Even If you
don't have to stand up at it where 1t
hangs haughtily on the wall you have
to sit tilted forward to reach 1t or
hold it on your knee or reach awk-
wardly around it to get at the pencil
and pad of paper. We never seem to
go regularly into the business of be-
ing comfortable at the phone.
1t can be done, though. and 1t Ger.
tainly should be, II we women are go
ing to be fit to live with. Men make
themselves comfortable at their office
telephones, why shouldn't we do it in
our homes. They have special swing
ing cranes, or derricks, that bring the
mouthpiece right up to their lips
while they sit back and dangle their
feet luxuriously. We could have these
contrivances il we set out to get
them. and perhaps headpiece. too
