Infirmary Inmate Dead

Jimmy Moore who was an in
mate of the County Infrmary
died Thursday of last week of
flu. Moore was 6S, was born
near Shannondale and has a
brother either at 0rrick or in the
Confederate Home.
Moore was called "Limpy
Jim" for years, for years was
the music maker for dances for
miles around and was a jolly
honest and all round good fellow
tho unfortunate. Few were
neater in appearance than jim
Moore when he could afford
clothes in which to dress, but
crippled, rather weakly and
down and out, he had to accept
the bounty of the public at the
county institute. So it goes with
many who could appreciate bet
ter conditions.

High School Notes

Although many students were
absent both from the grades
and the high school, it was not
thought best to close the school
on account of the FLU"
Miss Pearlita Latham. who has
finished her course at Chillicotne
B. G. was a visitor at the high
school Friday.
Quite a number of students
who were absent last week came
back Monday. There were also
quite a few new cases reported
but not so many as last week.
A splendid musical program
was given by Mr. and Mrs. Vroom
before the high school Monday
morning. 1t was enjoyed by all
of the students and was eXcep
tionally we'll rendered.
The Juniors are busily engaged
carrying out their plans for the
Senior receptionlwhich is to be
held Saturday, thess14th, at the
school house.
Miss Walker, who was absent
all of last week because of the
flu is unable yet to take her

The Trenton Idea

AS advertised in the Courier

Trenton Mo. made his appear
ance before good audience here
Tuesday night and told his hear
ers considerable about the way
to accomplish things for a COM
munity, THE Trenton Idea"
While Mr.. Witten is in no
sense an orator he is far more
interesting to listen to than
big percent of the orators,
speakers and whoopers-up for
national and state administra-
tons and with this further feat
ure to his credit, he leaves some
thing sticking in your mind for
you to think about after he has
been forgotten:
The Trenton Idea" as pre-
sented by Mr.. Witten consists
principally in town and country
getting together for mutual ben
eft. Working together and ac-
compIishing whatever is good
for the whole community, not
sitting around talking about
what we ought to have and put.
ting forth 10 effort to get it.
We were glad to see a number
of people from the country pres
ent and after the address to hear
them express satisfaction with
what they had heard RECON-
mended. 1t is almost certain that
if the citizens of the city will
manifest the proper interest,
the country will cheerfully Join
us and a decided change for
betterment be visible in a very
short time.
Mr.. Sam Jordan, an old friend
of Mr.. Witten introduced the
speaker of the evening and made
the audience pretty we'll ac-
quainted with him before he be.
gan speaking. All feel under
obligations to Mr.. Whitten for
coming among US and imparting
valuable ideas for our benefit.

Farm Bureau Notes
By Sam Jordan

The future of the Farm Bureau
of Charlton County may be de-
cided at the meeting at Keytes-
vile, Saturday at 2:30, Feby. H.
It is proposed that it be made
county wide, and membership
small and any farmer admitted
to membership.
You have a right to your
opinion, and a right to be heard,
and it is expected that every
farmer should indicate an inter-
est one way or the other.
We all know too well what the
wrongs are that we have to put
up with and there's no need here
to repeat them. We now have
a chance to line up with what
in my judgment is the most
far.reaching farmers movement
ever launched. Attend the
meeting and let US tell you about
it, and we desire to say right
now that this new plan does not
in any manner interfere with
any other farmers organization.
If you belong to some other
organization attend the meeting
and be convinced that this plan
can do nothing but aid you in
every laudable undertaking. To
endorse needs only to be under
stood.
If we cannot pull together
there is no use to pull at all.
Charlton county must not be
divided. The enemy will try to
divide US for his own personal
gain. That has always been
true.
In all considerations / would
have you forget my personal in
terest. | am interested first OF
all in the common good, no mat.
ter how it might effect me OF
any other individual.
We want every farmer to at
tend the meeting and speak his
mind freely. ''''
This shows honesty of purpose
and that you are willing to stand
up and do battle for what you
think is for the farmers good.
We certainly expect to see you
at the meeting, and hope that
nothing short of sickness or i'm
passable roads will keep you
away.

Edgar Stoner of Sumner who
died last week at a hospital in
Columbia, was a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Eli Stoner of Sumner and
a young man of unusual promise
in the business and social world.
He was stricken with flu which
developed pneumonia and he
withstood the disease but a short
time, He was taking q course
in agriculture and his progress
was more than satisfactory.
Edgar spent a portion of his
school days at B. H. S. and was
deservedly popular with all stu
dents, faculty and citizens. His
loss is not only a severe blow to
bis devoted parents, but to the
community Of his home and the
county.

Miss Gertrude Thale left Wed
neSday for her home at Lewiston

sick with flu.
Mrs. c. L. Herring returned
from Moberly the first of the
week where she had been at the
bed side of her father, James
Winkler who is seriously i'll with
no hopes for recovery.
c. F. Lamkin has qualified
for position as nurse of flu
victims, no matter how severe
the cases nor the number on
hand to be looked after. He
also improved in culinaries,
seamstricticalics, laundarics Gus
sarics but shuns further connec-
ton with hospitalics. Some
people simply wont walk the

A. S. Wilks is seeking sup
port for the nomination by Dem
ocrats of the county for Office of
sheriff and feels that he has
more than an even break with
with any or all competitors, ac-
tual or prospective. AL made a
very creditable race for the
same office once before AID is
qretty well known in every part
of the county and there are few
if any who know him who
would question his ability to ill
the Office if he is favored with
charge of 1t. AL is a hustler,
capable, duly considerate of the
rights of others and that he will
be strong in the fight for the
place is the opinion Of many good
prognosticators.

John NJ. CarskaddOn

Born on the old family farm
southwest of this city April IS,
1888, the subject of this sketch
died at Albuquerque, N. NJ. Feb
ruary 6 of pneumonia preceded
by influenza and his remains
were brought to this city and in
tered in the city cemetery Tues
day after services at Dalton
church conducted by Revs. Mon
roe pastor and Marlin of Moberly.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Carskaddon
went to Silver City, N. M. last
November for the benefit of the
health of Mrs. Carskaddon and
in about a month they went to
Albuquerque. They could not
get rooms at the same hotel so
John lived with Mr.. and Mrs.
Jim Dotson and his wife at a
boarding place about two blocks
distant. John had arranged to
return to his home here and en-
gage in farming with his father
and brother Tom and expected
to leave Albuquerque about Feb
ruary 15, Mrs. Carskaddou had
flu and was qdarantined and it
was while she was down with
the disease that John contracted
it. His condition was kept from
his wife, but knowing something
was wrong with him because he
did not visit her, as soon as the
quarantine was taken off her
boarding house she went to him
but was not permitted to make
more than few minutes stay.
Pneumonia did its deadly work
in a few days and tho in no con.
dition to travel, his wife together
with her mother, Mrs. M. S.
Walthers and Mr.. and Mrs. T.
H. Carskaddon accompanied the
remains home.
John Carskaddon, son of Mr..
and Mrs. T. H. Carskaddon, was
one among the exceptional
young men of the county. Hon.
est, industrious, intelligent and
clean in all his ways and highly
esteemed by all his acquaintances
for his qualities as a man and
friend, his loss cannot be other
wise than deeply deplored. He
was united in marriage to Miss
Nadine Walther Dec, 26 1911 and
the we'll mated young couple took
up their residence on the fine
farm operated by 7. H. Carskad-
don and sons John and Tom un-
til last year when the health of
his wife required a different eli
mate and they went to New
Mexico.
Surviving the deceased are his
widow, parents Mr.. and Mrs. T.
H. Carskaddon and brother Tom
and hundreds of warm friends
and the abiding knowledge that
his place in life's list of worthy
linen will not be easily filled.

makes glad the heart. Some of them
are nothing more than capes with
sleeves added, all Of them are cut In
long and almost unbroken lines, e
cept those mnde Of fabrics that initiate
furs, which follow the lines of the
coats made of skins. Velours, duve-
tyn, bolivia. and similar soft and pill
able cloths give grace and comfort
to the coats for this winter, and high
fur collars, that fit snugly, top them
off with the luxury OF fur. Occasion
ally there are cuffs Of fur, and where
there is no fur at all. very ample
muller collars Of cloth, or crepe col
lars, provide the same suggestion OF
comfort, aided by the fact that coats
are long enough to reach to the bot

A woman may be n marvellous cook
and good ~housekeeper, yet not be able
to scientifically and justly Judge foods.
because Of lack Of training. Take
Jelly for example-fiavor, consistency,
transparency and general appearance
all must be considered.
A score card worked out by those
qualified by training ms well as eX-
perience should he the criterion by
which all judging should be done. We
have all heard some very good cook
remark over II glass of very Opaque
and altogether poor Jelly: This Is
the kind of Jelly ! Ike" such n per
son for n judge will give the premiums
TO the kind of jelly she likes, thinking
II Is the best product. Unless we like
the standardized perfect article. or
will keep our likes ia the background,
we are untitled Ia Judge foods.
There should be nm effort made at
every fair to explain the score card
for judging. 50 that every person who
has an exhibit may know why she did
not win and why some other oma
did. In places where this method has
been followed the women strive to
reach the standards set and the fol-
lowing year a marked improvement is
shown In the quality of exhibits.
Here are n few of the many things
10 be remembered by the amateur in
ielly making:
The fruit must eve be used after

There should be a standard score
card used for all other foods. such as
bread. cake, doughnuis. cookies. pies or
other made dishes. All state univer-
stiles have worked out or accepted
score cards for the judging of foods
which may be obtained free by writ
ing for them, or the department at
Washington will furnish them.
