Judicial Bill Invalid.

According to the Missouri
State Journal of August 6, the
judicial bill passed by the spec
ial session of the General AS
sembly, is invalid.
The Journal says; Friday
morning an error was discov-
cred in the judicial redistrict-
ing bill, passed by the extra
session, which appears to inval-
idate the entire measure.
The House passed the bill, pro-
viding for thirty-three circuits,
and expressly provided therefor
in section one of the bill.
The Senate amended the bill,
so as to provide for thirty-four
circuits, but failed to amend
section one, so that when the
bill was finally passed, after the
House had concurred in the
Senate amendments, section one
still provided for only thirty
three circuits, while the body of
the bill provides for thirty-four.
The contradictory provision was
contained in the enrolled bill,
which was still in the hands of
the Governor at the time The
Journal went to press"

The Lexington Chamber of
Commerce and the farmers and
business men of Alma and the
Live Wire Club of Odessa are
interesting themselves in school
fairs which they are arranging
to hold at the schools in their
vicinity preceding the County
fair at Higginsville. Several

fairs in this way last year and
have proved a means Of maxi

farm products at the County
fair, then bring the various
school exhibits together for a
community fair on Friday and
Saturday. This then allows
Monday to assemble the exhib-

Ford Rate Cuts Too Rapid.

Freight-rate reductions on
Henry Ford's Toledo, Detroit
& Ironton Railroad have been
made too rapidly to comply with
the regulations of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. His ap-
plication to file a tariff reducing
by 20 per cent. the rate on stone
from Sibley, Mich, to Detroit
was for this reason denied by
the commission.
Mr.. Ford put into effect a re-
duction on July 26 of 5 cents
a hundred on this traffic, and
under the regulations thirty
days must elapse before addi-
tional reductions can be made
on the same tariff.

Shall We Fail?

The Roads Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce wishes
to make this appeal to the cit
liens of Lexington who are in
terested in improving our roads.
Under the plan of cooperation
worked out with the road com
missioners, we undertook to
raise $4,000 to match a similar
amount from the district to put
all our roads in good condition.
We have had committees out so
lictiting contributions during
the past week, and with the field
almost covered we are facing a
possible failure. We have re-
ceived contributions totaling
less than $4,000, with more than
$4,000 yet to raise. This is a
vital matter to Lexington and
failure will mean an enormous
loss in a business way. We ap-
peal to you for more interest
in this work right now. Put
your influence behind it. Talk
it. Urge every customer and
every man whose customer you
are to make a liberal contribu-
tion. We must have a large
number of additional contribu-
tons in order to make up the
balance. We can not make this
a success unless we have the
fullest support of ever business
man. Shall we fail? If you say
we shall, then we surely win.
If you say we shall not, then
get behind the work and help
it 60 over. It's up to you.

Defines aJazz.s

DR.. Henry van Dyke says of
jazz: "As Iunderstand it, it Is
not music at all. 1t is merely
an irritation of the nerves of
hearing, a sensual teasing of the
strings of physical passion. It's
fault lies not in syncopation, for
that is a legitimate device when
sparingly used. But jazz is an
unmitigated cacophony, a COM
bination of disagreeabIe sounds
in complicated discords, a will
full ugliness and a deliberate
vulgarity."
To all of which, we say, Amen!
