Buick Robbers Apprehended

Last Sunday morning while Frank
Patton, of Clifton Hill was attending
church, he left his new Buick car
standing in front of the church.
In the meantime two boys who were
beating their way to Kansas City,
where they claim their homes are To-
Gated, were thrown off passing
freight, and desiring to continue their
trip, the car standing vacant tempted
them, and while one was watching .

TWO WOMEN KILLED In
AUTO WRECK

Monday morning as No. was
about mile east of High Hill, q
car occupied by Mrs. Nancy Green
wave, her daughter, Miss Mabel, ana
Mrs. A. B. Adams were crossing the
Wabash crossing the train struck the
car and Killed Mrs. Greenwave aud
her daughter instantly, the other VIZ
man was seriousily injured. No
official reports were received, but it
is presumed that the ladies must have
been trying to beat the train across
as the crossing is parallel with the
dirt road. The car was completely
ruined and the pilot on the engine
was broken and bent back under the
trucks, necessitating the use of an
other engine being sent out to bring
the train into Moberly.

PRAIRIE HILL STORE
ROBBED SUNDAY NIGHT

Snyder Bros. store was entered
Sunday night and some shirts stolen
and the money drawer opened, but
not much change was in sight. When
Mr.. Snyder went to open up Monday
morning he discovered the loss and
called Mr.. Stumpeet at Moberly ask
ing him to bring the blood hounds
and they arrived at Prairie Hill about
noon. They entered the store at
the front door and went to the back
door and through the door, then over
a fence and on to the home of Clar-
ence Vince who lives in Prairie Hill.
Mr.. Vince was away from home at
work and no search was made at
the time.
Entrance was gained through a
rear door in the store. We were
unable to learn what was done with
the man the dogs trailed.

While over Hull at 5:45 shortly
after she had signaled that she was
! going to test flight for speed, the
huge gas bag exploded.
The dirigible broke in two and
plunged into the river Humber, a
wreck.
The crew aboard was believed to
number 81 men including 21 Ameri-

Fifteen men were believed to have
persisted in the disaster.
Waters of the Humber river near

Capt. Maxfeld Of the United States

Other American officers on board
included Lieutenants Little, Easter

improvement on the famous R. 81

otherwise be in attendance at the

The latest report from the scene Of
the wreckage in England Of zR-2 is
to the effect that the girders snap
ped when the dirigible was inflated
and were never replaced. Frank M,
Corey, former chief machinist's mate
of the u. S. N; and one Of the orr
ginal crew Of the airship declared in
a sworn statement published in the
I New York Daily News Friday.
Corey alleged that 12 girders out
of 26 broke. This was at Bedford,
while the ship was under construc-
tion in 1919. According to Corey
the broken girders were merely splic-
ed.
"We were told and cautioned often
to be quiet and let things go by
Corey is quoted as saying. "Going
to the movies and any store the pep
of Bedford would say to us: "Tlie
Yanks win never get that ship home !
Workmen would tell us right to our
faces that we would never get the
ship home. The people did not want
to sell us the ship for the simple rea-
son that they feared we wou q
bump England"
In the explosions which wrecked
the ship only two persons were known
to have been saved. The two jumped
from the blazing bag in parachut 5
and came down safely.

of trial flight which was to estab-

8 Cars Recovered IN Moberly

Six stolen cars were taken by po-
lice and detectives last night from
innocent persons who had purchased
them from quartette of alleged
automobile thieves.
The four men are now in jail,
TRULY Smyser and Everett Fifer, two
Of the gang, are in jail here and Joe
Riley and Steve White are being
held in Detroit. The latter two
were caught with the goods. They
were driving cars out Of Detroit
that had been stolen Friday and
were caught Saturday morning.
1t seems as though the game Of
stealing cars and selling them 70
innocent persons has been going on
quite a while.
The Moberiy men who were un-
fortunate in buying the cars here
are: Earl Dameron, Roy Adams, Ar
thus Ridgeway and Pat Murphy. A.
man named Coulter of Leesburg also
bought one Of the cars.
Another car, Hudson speedster,
was located at Shumate & Lambs

Farm Bureau Boosters in r. u.

At the suggestion of various indiyi-

which was held at. KeytesyilIe few
years ago a meeting was called at the
Charlton house at Keytesville, Mon
day night, August 10Th for the pur-
pose Of laying preliminary plans for
a big Charlton County Corn Show this
year. We are fortunate to have Mr.
Sam Jordan with US occasionally, and
we are very glad he is able to help
us put on another big show.
Mr.. Jordan Is perhaps the best
known corn booster in Missouri and
win no doubt be able to give us 4
great amount Of assistance in this
undertaking.
At the meeting Monday night a
temporary chairman and secretary
were appointed and few plans were
considered. It IS self evident fact
that Charlton county IS not well

T.. f.
The meeting called for Monday
night at the Charlton hotel was
called to order after the lights had
been turned on, about $3.50. At first
quite bunch of interested people ar
rived, but when the place was found
in darkness, many went home think.
/ ing that the meeting would be called
loft.
Sam Jordan, our old agricultural
county agent, was present, and he
presented an outline of what he
thought would be the proper pro-
Icedrre in going ahead and putting
on a corn show this coming Novem-
ber.
Mr.. Jordan has had considerable
experience in shows Of this nature,
and he cited several showing how sue
cessful they had been and how much
they had done for the communities
III WHICH, IHcy were Hciu.
The present plans call for corr.
show that will embrace, first, corn
SECOND, potatoes; third, soy beans.
The show is to be strictly coun-
,ty affair, i. e., not open to the world
as was the case in a previous round
UP held ia Keytesyille some wears
since.
There was some talk also of includ-
ing poultry in the exhibits. 1t was
thought that at this time the dis
play of pure bred cattle should not
be attempted.
The matter of prizes was taken
up and Mr.. Jordan suggested that
the different townships should be in
terested to the greatest possible ex-
tent. Merchants could easily be
induced to offer merchandise prizes
to the winners in their individual
townships and to winners in their
own townships. In this way the mer-
chants IN these tomns, cities and
communities wherever located would
receive beneficial advertising.
The Farm Bureau members as well
as the members Of different farmers
clubs are to be interested, to the end
that everyone will become a booster.
Mr.. Jordan also told how the se
shows in other places are being
financed. The corn which has beenl
entered in competition is always the
best corn that a man has on hi
place. This is put up at auction
at the end of the roundup and in this
way farmers are able to procure the
very best of seed corn. Mr.. Jof-
dan stated that in many instances
the cash prizes were paid from the
proceeds Of the sale.
All corn that is offered for sale IS
thoroughly inspected by competent
men, and farmers purchasing co y
will know they are getting the best.
Mr.. Jordan, in speaking on en-I
stated he could ,enlist
some of the best state talent, and in
some cases there would be no expense
IN such connection. Others might de-
nand their expenses be paid.
There was considerable talk also
n connection with the school display,

ion in Keytesville at the same time

,est possible boosting. County SUP

The difficulties encountered-in an attempt
at cable telephony are dwelt on by every
body. whether experts In Europe or Amer

surmomtable in Europe they are not 50 con-
sidered here. The fact that telephone com

not taken fully into the account all thai
has been done in this country TO render
long distance telephony comparatively
easy problem When we suggest com
munfcating BY wire over vast stretches of
country we mean that all that has been
discovered and proved effective over our
own transcontinentaI wires must be
utilized.
"To say ofrhand that cable across the
Mediterranean will not transmit the human

A short cable is all that would be neces-
sary to connect Italy with Sicily another
short cable could he laid between the south

one not much longer would serve between
the latter island and the nearest African
coast.

ON this subject Col. Carly had some-
thing to say, but it was in the nature Of
exposition rather than argument. He re-
ferred 10 the long experiments made with
underground cables. Much that was learned
by these experiments is applicable, to the
