Corn Show Now Is Assured

good crop. After the fourth failure,

advice, and had committed an assault
which resulted in death. The pris-

Gods country-Missouri.
The judge pondered a moment,
scratched his bald pate and finally
offered:
"Hate to see you go, young fellow,
try it once now-I am SURE this
will be the year."
Yes, this is the year in Missouri
for corn and we are going to have
a real corn show and round up.
Chariton courier., 1921-09-16

Work is progressing excellently in
connection with the corn show which
is to be held in November. There is
general rush to get in on the money
end and the committee expect to have
no trouble in raising the money that
it will require to put the show over
in good shape. s
The committee in charge of finan-
cling state that they are meeting
with better results than expected and
much enthusiasm is shown by all.
Surely, this Is, the year. And by
the way this calls to mind the dry
land farmer in the wilds Of Montana.
Not long ago man was arrested for
murder and placed on trial. The
poor fellow stated that for four years
he had listened to his neighbors and
had scraped and borrowed and mort
gagged to procure grain for seeding.

MOTHER OF 4 ELOPES

Monday morning two weeks ago
Harry Allen, left his home in Hunts
vile, and went to work in the Brad
ley Bros mine, southwest of Mober-
ly. He left his wife and four child
rem at home, stating to his wife that
he would not return home until on
Saturday following, that it was too
far to walk home every evening after
his days work, and that he wouli
board with a family near the mine.
When he arrived home from his
weeks labor in the mine he was sur
prised to find that his wife and the
two youngest children--one two years
old-had left for parts unknown.
leaving the two elderly children, II
and Is years old to the nearest neigh
bors. To his great surprises he also
learned that his wife had left in COM
pany with one, George McCart,
middle aged widower, also a miner
and laborer of Huntsville. Mr.. Nc
Cart and Mrs. Allen left Huntsville
together, it is said, on the same day
that Mr.. Allen left to work in the
Bradley mine, ostensively to visit rel
atives in Moberly. Mr.. Allen, at
first, could hardly believe that his
wife would quit his home to live with
another man, but he is convinced Of
that fact now-after making search
and inquiry. 1t is reported that Nc
Cart and Mrs. Allen were in Pennsyl+
vania and another report is that they
are in Moberly. Mr.. Allen reported
the elopement of his wife and Mozart
to city and county officers and de-
sires their arrest, but the officers
have no clue to their whereabouts.
To Democrat representative Mr..
Allen stated that he and McCart had
been good friends, but of late he had
suspicioued an intimacy between his
wife and Mozart, and that he and
his wife had had some quarrels over
the matter, but that he had no idea
that their apparent intimacy would
lead to an elopement. He said he
would not care so much if his wife
had not taken with her the two child
rem. He also stated that he thought
his wife would soon tire of McCart
and make overtures to return to his
hcme, but did not indicate that 1a
would be willing to reconciliation, if
proposed, but seems to think it
strange that his wife has not given
him some information as to her in
tentions or cause of her action, and
whereabouts. Mrs. Allen is about
35 years old and is not handsome or
attractive, and Mr.. Mozart is a very
homely man, with no visible means
or property. Their elopement has
caused no little comment in Hunts
ville.-Moberly Democrat.

1EST RAIN IN
PAST TWENTY YEARS

From 8 o'clock Friday night until
about 5 o'clock Saturday morning the
heaviest rain in the history of Car
roll County during the past twenty
years fell. The rain came in almost
a steady downpour after the first
preliminary showers. Only one other
time during this period of years has
so much rain fallen and that time it
rained for forty-eight hours. In 1914
during the big flood, 6.03 inches fell.
AS a result of the great rain the
creeks in this vicinity are all running
very high, many of them are over
banks.
A report from north Carroll this
morning is to the effect that Big
Creek is out of its banks and rum
ming over much of the bottom land.
While to date the water has not
reached a stage where it can get
into the Water, Light and Transit
Company's plant, it was feared that
if the rain was general west and
north of here, it would enter the
plant and cause damage.
A report from Miami Station to
day stated that the heavy rain wash
ed down from the back Of town and
for time it was so high that IL
was up to the railway station floor.
The water had subsidized by noon.
Shortly afternoon Wakenda creek
was still rising, but it was coming
up very slow.-Carrollton Democrat.

HEAVIEST RAINFALL
EVER RECORDED

Fourteen inches of water to fall as
rain in one night is sure whole
lot of it, but that's the report hand
ed into this office by Doctor A. H.
w. Sullivan from his records of Sep
tember 3. In fact, to be exact, the
doctor reports 14s inches.
The doctors records date back 10
1916 and he says this has anything
beat on record, and he believes fur
ther, that the only one that beat this
was the one which fell just prior to
che resting of Noah's Ark on Mount
Aarat.
Much damage has been done thru
out the entire neighborhood, and
many casualties to stock have been
reported from lightning. Many of the
bottom levees have been broken and
and much corn washed away. The
river rose about five feet after the
rain. Miami News.

BOY CONFESsES KILLING
TWO FOR $1,000 AUTO

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 12.-Harvey W.
Church, the 20-year-old youth ac-
cused of staying B. J. Daugherty and
Carl Ausmus to obtain possession Of
a $5,400 automobile, broke down after
IL hours of questioning today and
made a complete confession according
to the police.
The youth who was brought back
Sunday morning from Adams, Wis,
his former home, where he had driv-
en- his mother in the car on Friday,
the day after the murder was quoted
as admitting that he alone had plann-
ed and executed the tragedy
Church, according to the police, told
Of his negotiations to purchase the
car and of driving to his home in it
with the automobile men on a pretex
of getting the money to complete the
purchase. He declared, it was said,
that he and Daugherty entered the
house and that he held the salesman
up with pistol and then handcuff-
ed his hands behind him.
Then he is said to have calmly ad-
mitted killing Daugherty with a base
ball bat after he had twisted a bit
of rope about his neck. After he
had hidden the body in coal bin, ac-
ccrding to the alleged confession,
Ausmus, who had been waiting in
the car outside came into the base
ment and Church held him up with
the same pistol, bound his hands and
feet, struck him with baseball bat,
stuffed part of a womans brassiere
down his throat and left him for dead.
Church according to the police said
that he took the car, got his mother
who had been visiting at q neigh
bors, and took her and a woman
friend for a ride to Indiana harbor,
returning shortly after 8 o'clock.
According to the alleged confession,
he then went to small garage be-
hind his home and dug a shallow
hole in which he buried Ausmu5'
body
Coroner Hoffman declared after
the body had been found yesterday
that Ausmus had been buried alive
and that the neck had been broken
by the slayer tramping on the grave;
but Church insisted, it was said, that
Ausmus was dead when he buried
him.
Church was quoted as declaring
that he received telephone message
from some unknown person, declar-
ing that he would be killed unless
he got a $1,000 automobile for his
father and mother before September
10. He said that he had received this
message about two weeks ago and he
thought that it came from some enc
my.

THE TOWNS VERY
BEST BOOSTERS

Last Saturday night the Keytes-
vile band boys gave the last schedul-
ed concert of the season. The boys
have done remarkably well with their
organization this summer, giving con-
cents to the general public each Sat-
urday evening. Keytesville citi-
zens and farmers in particular have
been turning out each Saturday even
ing to hear the boys perform.
The giving of these concerts Satur-
day evenings has proven to be a
great attraction and the boys have
done more than any other organiza-
tion towards getting people to come
to keytesNille to do their shopping.
Indeed, it is predicted that with the
close of the concert season that the
Saturday night business will not hold
up as well during the coming fall AMI
winter.
Take off your hats to the band
boys as real business boosters and
business getters.
1t would not be correct to close
this little storiette without also stat

have been furnishing during the sum

ton of the word "south" from the

ply and demand creates"
The last weeks reports Indicate
that the organization work of the
Grain Growers is gaining momentum
daily. In the country at large more
than $500 farmers now are members
OF the great non-stock, non-profit,
farmer-owned and farmer controlled
grain marketing machine that is be-
ing set up in the following out the
plans of the Committee of II. The
new members signed last week to-
tailed more than 1,500. There are 302
elevators under contract to handle
the grain of members of the COM
pany.
Warming to Farmers
The men at the head of the move
ment are sending out warnings to
their friends to beware of the activ-
ities of the committee headed by E.
r. Mansfield of the Chicago Board
of Trade. That committee, which
has "slush' fund of $250,000 to be
used in defeating the Grain Growers
and the County Agent movement, has
been active for two weeks, and it is
believed that this is only the calm
before the storm. 1t is barely pos
sihle that MansfielRs committee is
only waiting for the storm to blow
over that was raised after he tried,
unsuccessfully, to link the Grain
Growers with Socialism.
