THE AMERICAN LEGION.

THE offer of the officers Of the
American Legion, placing the 225
members Of the James Bledsoe Post,
of this city, at the command of the
authorities for the enforcement of the
law in a crime crisis is a splendid
thing.
The American Legion stands for
many good things ard not The least Of
these is their unGuestionod position
in behalf of UNFOLDING laws
of this country. In many sections
they have already volunteered on diff
ferent occasions and given important
aid to the police and others when such
sunport was most needed.
They are all men trained to act in
a crisis. men who have stood fire and
willing to stand it again for their
country. 1t is a wonderful thing
for a nation, and a most reassuring
one, to know that such a body of men
throughout the breadth and length of
these United States, is ready and
willing at a moments notice to come
to the front for the protection of the
people and the upholding of the law.
Every year the American Legion is
growing in popular favor and the
public's appreciation of their splendid
Am%ericanism cannot be too often nor
too emphatically expressed.

Attendance OF
Audrain Rural
Schools Growing

According to E. C. Ofutt, county
superintendent of schools in Audrain
County, the rural schools in the coun-
ty this year are a great improvement
over those of last year as far as at
tendance is concerned. The average
attendance daily is twenty and the av-
erage attendance of the schools as a
whole is twenty-five. This is partly
due, he said, to the good work of ].
Walter Adams, attendance officer.
Many of the schools in other coun-
ties are decreasing in size, but the
schools in Audrain show a decided in
crease every year and there is keen
competition among them.
The two largest schools in the coun-
ty are the Grow school, taught by
Miss Gladys Ferber, and the New
Michigan School taught by Miss Alma
Gatewood, each of which have an at
tendance CT thirty-six.
The smallest school in the county
has three pupils, all of whom are do
ing excellent according to Mr.. Offutt.
This small size is because there are
very few children in this school dis
trict.
There are ninety-nine school dis
tricts, and eight-three rural schools
having an attendance of about $500
pupils in the county altogether.

Woman Acquitted
Of Charge In
Assault Case

In the case of the State of Missouri
against Mrs. Ella Pierce, charged
with felonious assault on w. W. Pol
lock at her home last spring, which
was tried Wednesday in the circuit
court of Galloway County, the woman
was acquitted on instructions of the
judge because the prosecuting at
torney failed to prove the gun was
loaded.
lir. Pollock and Joe Considine were
connected with Mr.. Pierce, the hus-
band of the woman who lives at Aux
vase in some business dealings. 1t
is alleged that Mr., Pollock called at
the farm to see Mr.. Pierce, and that
Mrs. Pierce had said he was not at
home, and asked that he step inside
if they wanted to talk GO ner. When
>heand Mr.. Pollock stepped into the
house it is alleged, she raised a revolt
rcr and said that she had this here to
rrotect myself with" 1t was also al
legged that she followed Mr.. Pollock out
II the porch with the gun in a threat
ening position.

NATION OF CAPITALISTS.

FINANCIAL writers tell us that
the United States is fast becoming a
nation of capitalists. That hundreds
and thousands of salaried men are
buying bonds. some of them paying
on the installment plan.
They take this method of saving
because they have found it easy and
at the same time they have their saw
ings working for them. They buy
baby bonds and their pleasure over
their own success in saving money in
this fashion results in their telling
their friends and starting them in
such thrifty habits.
Incidentally this in another move
toward the Encouragement of the
Red" BY cutting down immigration
and making our nation one whose peo-
pie save and are thrifty the agitator
against Americanism will 1901 find
sterile soil upon which to work.

LIGHT PLANT RUNNING
 LIKE IN OLD TIMES

Manager Jim Hudson and his assistants seem, to have solved the last of the many per picking problems which con- fronted them in putting the. steam units in operation, and now the Town of Williams is enjoying electric service which is equal to the very best the town has ever known. The cur rent is steady and continuous. Such service is an asset of great value to the town.
 The small steam unit is being used at present. while the large unit is held in reserve. This engine carries the night load with ease and will probably be capable of doing so for some time to come.
 It looks as tho the dark days for Williams municipal light plant are now over.
 The two gas engines former ly used at the municipal plant, were removed this week and shipped to Los Angeles, where they have been sold.

No, reader, this corn was not grown by one of our local. farmers! It wasn't grown in the United States, even. It was grown in the faroff Philippine Is lands by Filipino schoolboys. Two fine crops of corn year are produced in the Islands.
 The Philippines are doing some won tlerful things in the agricultural line. The Philippine government has fine az ricultural schools throughout the is lands, and the Philippine legislature, composed entirely of Filipinos, is each year making larger and larger appro- priations for this important work.
 The staple food of the islands is rice, but corn is coming right along in popu- lar favor. Its use was given great i'm petus in the last year because of a rice
