Mentally Unbalanced

Hugh S. Crawford of near
Sumner was brot before the pro-
bate court Tuesday on complaint
of the constable of Cunningham
township and after examination
of the man and hearing testi-
mony of medical and other wit
nesses, Judge Montgomery found
Crawford to be of unsound mind
and appointed Cal Hopper of
Sumner guardian.
Hugh Crawford has been a
successful farmer and sccumu.
lated a fair competency for his
family and just the cause for
his becoming unbalanced has not
been disclosed. 1t is a pitiable
case but perhaps with correct
treatment he can recover.

HEAVIEST SNOWFALL
Wheat ThOt Greatly Benefited
Here. LOwland Overflow In
evitable. 10 Above Zero.

Saturday the second snow of
the spring month began to fall
and all day Sunday the downfall
continued until an estimated
depth of 26 inches covered the
ground for an average, scarcely
any being left by the wind in
spots and great drifts formed in
other places. North and south
roads were not badly covered
but most east and west roads
were blocked, some of them i'm
passable yet. The storm began
from the east but soon was from
the northwest and Monday
morning at sunup, the thermom-
etersin several places in town
registered ten and twelve above.
Peach, pear, appletrees which
budded early and small fruits
were seriously damaged if not
destroyed for this season and
this is held to be true as far
south as Arkansas.
II is believed that the wheat
crop which looks well pract cally
all over the county has been
greatly benefited by the heavy
snow which followed the all-day
gale of a week before.
In all northwestern states,
Kansas and Oklahoma, the
storm was much worse than
thru this section according to re-
ports, deeper snow and seyerer
weather. Fuel had run low in
this section and many found
themselves exceedingly short
Monday with no prospects for
replenishing bins and wood piles
for several days.
Old inhabitants say that on
Easter Sunday just 30 years ago
the same sort of snow storm
visited this section.

Ambrose Rucker came home
from Washington City Saturday
to recuperate. He has not been
so well for some time and be.
lieyes correctly that the fresh
air and sunshine of the country,
supplemented by jOwl and greens
and mild exercise in the garden
will add to his avoirdupois.
Mrs. A. F. Arlington has
treated herself to a splendid new
car, an Essex, and Saturday af.
ternoon was returning home in
the car with her daughter, Miss
Elizabeth at the wheel, J. W.
Taylor the seller of the car di.
recting her, Misses Dorothy
Richardson and Virginia Riley
company. When just beyond
the Cottrell school house north
of town and about a half mile
from home, the car capered on
the hill it was ascending. The
road was wet and slick. Miss
Elizabeth managed the slipping
car as well perhaps as any one
could have, but it was bound for
the 8 foot ditch and over into it
the whole push toppled, the car
landing upside down. Miss Dor
othy promptly catapulted thru
the back curtain and pulled Mrs.
Arlington and Miss Virginia
out. Will Taylor was crumpled
up under the steering wheel, the
cushion and Miss Elizabeth and
until the escape of the young
lady and removal of the debris
he could not get out. His neck
was twisted a little and his
nerves temporarily dislocated,
otherwise alright. Miss Eliza
beth suffered a bad cut at the
shoe top from glass from the
broken windshield, disgust and
superabundance of retained com.
ments on the occasion. The 9th.
er occupants of the car escaped
unhurt and the car suffered only
a broken top and windshield.
The big army truck piIoted by
Bill Knight went out and snaked
the car out of the ditch and it
was started and came to the
Spot Cash Garage without as.
sistance.

than escape from the car and

SCHOOL, CITY ELECTIONS
Women for School Board Lost
Mayor Good Selection
Perspective Progress

The election for two members
of the KeytesviIle District School
Board furnished the impetus Of
interest, the grip heretofore
held on the school board
threatened by the introduction
of two women for members.
Until just before noon the wo.
men, among the best possible to
be considered for the positions,
were leading both the other
tickets when it was noised about
that they could not serve if elect
ed, the law barring them under
the circumstances. The stalk.
ing horse candidates Jared no
better after the women were
eliminated from consideration
and the personel of the board
remains practically the same and
the patrons of the school can be
assured of the same constant
interest, careful management
and consequently successful and
advancing reputation of the
school which it has been their
privilege to boast of for the
past two years.
The candidates for the school
board were;

Farm Bureau Notes
By Sam Jordan

Word from the receiver of the
company advises that nothing
can now be cone until it is known
how the test suits filed will end.
The matter as | understand is to
rest until further notice.
The Meeting Saturday 200 p. m.
This meeting is to be held at
the court house for final SUNNI
ing up of the membership cam
paign for the farm bureau.
Several parts of the county,
RothyiIle, Sumner, Triplett,
AhoIt and Shannondale at this
writing have not been visited.
The dates have had to be can
celIed at each place and put off
a time or two on account of bad
weather and high waters.
Most of the meetings held
were fairly well attended not.
with-standing bad roads and bad
weather at most places.
If roads and weather permit
some of these places can be
made this week, but this Mon
day morning when this is writ.
ten, does not look very promis-
ing.
We hope il will be better by
Saturday and roads dry so folks
can attend the meeting for it is
desired to get the matter settled
one way or the other at this
meeting.
Every person interested should
be present or at leass send word
where he stands If he is for the
continuance of this work in the
county. If weather and roads
are good and you are not at the
meeting or do not send US any
word We can gauge the matter
fairly well, for it will then be
assumed that you are against it.
The New Tax On Land
This bill to tax land of over
$40, 800 value percent upon its
actual value is before Congress
Valuations will be based on
offers" for the land or on your
sale price. Are you for this
tax? A vote of the member
ship is called for by the Ameri.
can Farm Bureau federation.
Congress has spent almost as
much money in the last three
years as was spent since our
government was founded up to
1917 or in l28 years. Still they
spend like drunken sailors. We
pay tax on about everything but
the air we breath, and now a
new tax, or one of a new brand
is before Congress.
l cannot discuss this question
here but will discuss it at the
meeting Saturday.
1t is not a political question,
but an economic one that affects
vitality every person in the U. S.
and especially the farmer.
Your expression IS wanted and
your voice will be then heard in
Congress. Stay away from the
or keep silent and let
all other farmers do the same
and there is not one particle of
doubt about your having this
tax to pay.
If you do not have the grit or
gumption, or manhood, or self
respect to protect yourself, who
do you think is going to do it
for you? Let US speak up like
real men.
The meeting is Saturday of
this week at the Court House at
Keytesville.

There were a number of stray
votes for each office and G. F.
Lamkin was not a candidate for
any office. The obstruction
over which the supporters of the
women for members of the
school board could not pass was
the law which provides that only
such as have paid city and coun-
taxes the proceeding year, are
residents for at least a year and
over thirty years of aye can be
qualified to fill such positions.
Had these conditions been meet
able, the vote which went to the
decoys would have been cast for
the women and then some, and
we would have been equipped
for an experiment which we
firmly believe would have been
for the best interest of our
school. 1t is surely the one End
only place in public lite where
women can hold their own self
respect, retain the confidence and
support of their community and
further benefit mankind by of
fetal attention to the education
of the children, the principal
part of which falls on them any
way.
Lieut.. Frank Hill will make a
good mayor and will have the
support of a progressive and
fearless board of aldermen. Fa-
voritism and lethargy will not
characterize the new administra.
tion in any particular and that
