Relnrada hl, hard bx MarI.

Belgrade, the capital OF Serbia and
Jugo Slavia, is now a mere shell Of its
former self. The Serbs used to be re-
markably proud Of their metropolis.
Did they not possess a city with first
class hotels, electric cars, a boulevard.
good shops and all other modern con-
veniences, not to mention a profusion
Of the coffee houses and gardens so
dear to the heart Of the Serb?
The coffee houses of Belgrade are
more of an institution than the tavern
ever was In London. A cupful of black
coffee in public garden, military
band playing the weird Slavic songs,
and the young people dancing the old
folk dances on the grass-these repre-
sent the height Of contentment to the
Serb after days work.

Men Who "Know 1t ALL"

Some folks are canned" because
they are too self-satisfed. It's a com
mon thing in life to find folks too big
to take orders. They know the game
and refuse to take orders. That is
confession they belong to the small
class and never will be fitted to lead.
The good boss is a master Of obedi-
ence. He commands because he has
learned to obey. He's never satisfied
There are always new goals to strive
for. He rises because he sees things
from a different angle. It's different
with the fellow who is self-satisfed.
He sees only what he wants to see,
and holds his opinion above that of
everybody else. You can't do much
with him.-Exchange

all night recently, and his wife's name
Is Sarah. And there was heltupay

explained that he went to see Mary
Pickford in a movie drama the night
before and che dreamed about the
show all night. And he got away with

Bold Chinese Bandits.

Bands of kidnapers recently have
caused much alarm in Tenchowfu,
Shantung, China. Operating in groups
Of from 80 to 90 they have carried
away and held for ransom wealthy Chi
nese for whom they have obtained as
much as $4,000 in some cases. Ten
citizens were kidnapped in October.
Promises to pay ransoms have been ex-
acted by torture. Troops have tried
to capture the bandits, but have
failed. It is believed the kidnapers
came from Dalny, crossing the Gulf
of Pechili in boats in which they es-
caped with their captives.

Train KIN. blind Pastor.

Rev, Joseph DeJamette, 65
years;old, q blind minister resid-
ing az Sheldon, was killed by a
south bound Missouri Pacific
freight train Monday morning.
He lived near the railroad right
of-way, and was on his way home.
He heard the train coming and
stopped, apparently thinking him
self far enough away from the
track. The side of the engine
caught him and hurled him across
the track, crushing in his ribs and
bruising his head. He never re-
gained consciousness.
Rev. Mr.. DeJarnette had lived
in Sheldon, since the place was
founded. He was the first pastor
of the Sheldon Christian Church.
He was pastor of the church for
many years.
He had just closed a years pas
torate for the church at Jerico a
short time prior to his death. He
is survived by his wife, and three
grown children. All of the child
rem live in Tulsa.
Deceased was well known here
having visited here and preached

The Little Home Paper.

The Little Horne Paper.
The little home paper comes to me,
As badly printed as it can be:
It's ungrammatical, cheap, absurd
Yet how love each intimate wordl
For here am l in the teeming town,
Where the sad, mad people rush up and
down
And it's good to get back to the old
lost place
And gossip and smile for little space.
The weather is hot;the corn crops good
They've had picnic in Sheldon sW God,
And Aunt Maria was sick last week;
Ike Morrison's got swollen cheek,
And the Squire was hurt in a runaway
More shocked than bruised, I'm glad to
say.

Is working farm with his uncle Jim.
The Red Cross ladies gave tea,
And raised quite bit. OldSolMacPhee
Has sold his house on Lincoln Road
He couldn't carry so big load.
The Methodist minister's had call
From wealthy parish near st. Paul.
And old Herb Sweet is married at last
He was forty-two. How the years rush
past!
But here's an item that makes me see
What puzzling riddle life can be.
"Ed Stokes" it reads twas killed in
France
When the Allies made their last adj
vance"
Ed Stokesl That boy with the laugh
ing eye
AS blue as the early-summer skiesl
He wouldn't have killed 1y-and yet,
Without a murmur, without regret,
He left the peace of our little place,
And went away with light in his face
For out in the world was job to do,
And he wouldn't come home until it
was through
Four thousand miles from our tiny town
And its hardware store, this boy went
down,
Such quiet lad, such simple chap
But he's out East Dunkirk on the map!

Farmers Urged to Burn Chinch Bug
Retreats.
A burning campaign will be
started in Jasper county in De-
cember. Burning chinch bugs IS
the program. Every farmer in
the county will be asked to take
part in the campaign. All dry
grass, stubble, weeds, underbrush
and trash on farms will be set on
fire.
Burning not only will destroy
millions of the pests, but those
that escape the flames will be fro
zen to death. Tufts of grass shell
ter theHessian fly. Grass hoppers
lay eggs in such places. In the
burning campaign all farm pests
will alike be cleaned out in their
breeding places.
County Agent Mote fears an
alarming increase Of the Hessian
fly next year. Wet weather has
made it hard for farmers to follow
the recommendation for Kidding
wheat fields of the fly this fall, yet
cooperation will destroy millions
of insects injurious to wheat and
other farm crops.
The farm bureau and the agri-
cultural college are cooperating
in the campaign against the fly
and the chinch bugs. With fall
wheatplanted, there is not bright
outlook for destroying the maggots
of the Hessian fly, but now is the
time to begin war on chinch bugs.
1t is urged that farmers of every
township get together and set a
date for a general farm cleanup
with fire. By united action the
insect pests can be kept down,
and in this way an increased yield
of wheat, corn and oats will follow
