audience, and they have some "war
cry" too.
While the judges were summing up
their notes preparatory to casting
their decisions as to the winners, a
short intermission was filled in by the
pupils of Miss McCann, who, in ad-
dition to instructing several classes in
the high school, is the musical di-
rector or the X. H. S. orchestra and
the glee club.
Or course the glee club was all to
the good-good singing when well di-
rected is a treat, something everyone
enjoys, but the work of the orchestra
was revelation to all. Then came
the surprise of the evening. Two lit
tie youngsters, only about four and
half feet long came forward and rem
dered violin-cornet solo-Joe Heber
Wright, c5rnetist, and Milton Bennett
vloIIhst. their efforts at entertaining
were roundly cheered, and in justice
to their instructor, Miss McCann and
to the youngsters, themselves, it must
be said their work was excellent.
This appears to be the first occasion
that the general public have had this
yCdi W oIIcuu uOlHBS ttldL perJdlueU
strictly to the work Of the Keytesville
High School, and the entertainment
features were thoroughly enjoyed by
all. 1t seems that the school is per-
forming wonders this year, and citi-
zens are hereby notified that all fu-
ture performances of the school
should be attended well-iust to keep
up with the doings of the youngsters.
Of course, the great thing that in
terested those in attendance was the
debate against the team from Sails
bury. Everyone wanted to see the
home team win. But Salisbury ought
not to feel disgraced in their efforts
to win. They won the decision Of one
of the judges and if they are really
looking Ior sympathy they can write
to Moberly for consolation, for last
Friday night the team from Krksville
cleaned them up in three to nothing
decision.

RUTHERFORD PLANNING SUIT
TO TEST BONUS

Judge w. T. Rutherford of st.
Louis was in Jefferson City last week
investigating the initiative petitions
filed July, 1920, asking that a consti-
tutional amendemnt be presented to
the people at the November, 1920,
general election, providing that con-
stitutional amendments could be voted
on at special as well as general cleo
tions. This is preliminary step be-
fore filing test suit in the Supreme
Court in the state Soldier Bonus Law.
Before such an amendment was ad-
opted constitutional amendments
could be voted upon only at general
elections.
Judge Rutherford's investivation
was authorized by the Fund Commits
sion, since the bonus amendment was
voted upon at special election and
much OF it's validity depends upon the
initiative petitions.
The points involved in the investiga-
tion to determine whether or not the
iniative petitions aye within the law
include the number of individuals
signing the petitions, whether such
signers were legal voters and whether
or not the amendments were printed
as required by law. Under the consti-
tuition, constitutional amendments
must be published at least once a
week in newspaper in each county
of the state, for four consecutive
weeks preceding the election.

UNUSUAL DAMAGE SUIT

1t is reported that domestic en-
ployed by one Of the prominent far
mers near Salisbury is about to COM
mence suit against her employer in
a most unusual damage case in the
sum of $4,000 at the next term of
the Circuit Court. 1t seems that the
home of this farmer is not equipped
with a modern bathroom, and one Sat-
urday evening early in November, af-
ter the family had all gone to town,
she drew down the blinds and pro-
ceeded to fill an ordinary wash tub
full Of. warm water with the express
purpose of taking bath. The wash
tub was drawn up close to the kitch-
en- range and.and the annual scrub be-
gan. After finishing the young lady
stepped out of the tub onto a piece Of
soap laying on the floor. She slipped,
sat down on the stove and when she
got up she was branded "Majestie."

i'm regard to taking change of venue
in the cases of three men he is de-
Tending in oil stock unit sales. The
cases nave been transferred from Cal
laway county to Cole county. The
Fulton County Gazette has the fol-
lowing to report in connection with
these cases: Applications for
changes of venue in the cases of the
State of Missouri against o. R. Six
and Joseph Meiners, charged with
obtaining money under false preten-
ses, were filed in the Galloway. coun-
ty circuit court Monday afternoon by
former State Senator John d. Taylor

ants. Affidavits supporting the appli-
cations for changes of venue were I'LL
ed at the same time. : These were
signed by w. Scott Fox, of this city,
and o. C. Thompson, Oscar Smith,
John Yates, and j. 7. Ficklin, of rural
Galloway. The affidavts were suffi-
cient under the law for changing the
place OF trial of the cases and Judge
Harris, at the suggestion of the at
torneys, sent them to Cole county.
By agreement of the attorneys on
both sides, the case of the State of
Missouri against G. F. Richardson
also charged with obtaining money
under false pretenses, also was sent
to Cole county for trial.
Six, Meiners and Richardson sold
units in the Okmulgee Oil Syndicate

in court by Judge Clarence A. Barnes,
of Mexico. The information against
King also named Six as defendant.

leaving only the one case against him.
Judge Barnes did not indicate whether
he wouid ask for a change OF venue
for King.
Six, Meiners, Richardson and King
were all in court Monday. Though
their liberty was at stake, they SEEM
ed as care free as if they were off on a
vacation.

IN REGARD TO MAILING
SUBSCRIPTION STATEMENTS

Our Uncle Sam has laid down
few laws and rules and regulations in
regard to mailing out papers to de-
linquent subscribers. The Courier, in
trying to keep up with these regula-
tions, has been mailing out from time
to time Statements of account. The
response has been splendid, and we
certainly appreciate the checks and
money orders that are being received
almost daily. Some of these checks
are accompanied by letters stating
that the matter has been entirely
overlooked. Others simply sent in
the check and the statement. Still
others write stating that they do not
like to be "dunned," and order us to
discontinue the Courier.
These are things that come up in
the course Of any newspaper mans
experience from time to time. They
are expected, and, as all editors are
hardhearted, unfeeling rascals, moth
ing like this "gets in under the hide"
But there are several things to be
considered from the publishers stand
point. He has his paper stocks to
purchase and the paper houses to
pay for their goods-they won't wait,
they must have their money when it
is due.
Then there is the other side of the
proposition that successful publish
err must consider, and especially the
present editor of the Courier. 1t will
be remembered that last July this pa
per was purchased from the Kellogg
interests. Naturally we wanted to
find out how many of the subscribers
wanted to continue taking the paper,
and more especially those who were
in arrears. In 80 out of 100 cases
those in arrears have come across and
are now square with the Courier. In
some instances, however we have been
confronted with receipts here and
showing that the subscription had
been paid, and that the proper credit
on the list has not been given. Then,
too, there were a certain number of
complimentary papers sent out by the
former editor and these had to be ad-
justed and in some cases banished
from the subscription list.
However, the results of our billing
our subscribers has been highly sat-
isfactory, and but few have taken of
fense because a statement of account
has been sent.
A statement of account for a news
paper man is as legitimite as is a
statement from the butcher, the gro
Gerry man., the auto dealer, or any
other line of business endeavor. Too
many people imagine that the news
paper game is not real business to
be run on business principles. No
one has ever satisfactorily answered
this question, but it seems to prevail.
Why should it2 An editor has his
pay roll to meet, rent 10 pay, stocks
of paper to purchase, and also, he is
supposed to eat and wear clothes just
like other humans.
When we sent ont statements Of ac-
count on subscription, we do not want
anyone to think they are being inn
posed on or adunned."
/ The sending out Of subscription ac-
counts is the only way an editor has

enough for the subscriber to want it
